@DuncanSmithNBA Hey Duncan.

I'm replying to one of your posts here b/c you haven't seen my other messages. (You have PM's closed here.)

It's important that you get back to me immediately. Could you please respond to me via skype or discord ASAP.

@wugwugwugwug Assuming you're looking to have the option to run multiple emulators, sites, table management software etc + possible multi-monitors

Have had a good experience buying a couple from here.

There's not a big performance boost between now and two years ago, so for poker only can look a couple generations back to not totally spew.

@cuntycakes123 @TheChaseADavis A big problem with wizard is it defaults to too many sizes on all streets in many spots.

So you get actions that are insanely specific to an exact line, b/c the solver has so few combos.

Pro version lets you make your own sims now though...

@helloitslynne There's a bunch of benefit from platinum that really add up if you travel a lot. (Lounges, status with Marriot/Hilton, status with Hertz/Avis etc)

Credits/promos if you pay a bit of attention make the fee less bad than it seems also.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@chamath Just don't see any reason for the drug tests. I don't think there's anything you can take that gives a meaningful advantage in live poker.

The rest seems great, but I think there's other issues to address. Tanking/slow play seems like a main one.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@JW100x @CryptoDaddi Not defending anyone, but huge amount of blame on you here for so casually "booking" a $50k bet.

All details aren't clear. (exact date/timezone/where and how to check price etc)

If I had to arbitrate...it's vague enough where he confirms idk how I rule.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@BCalusinski Isn't it just, you say the first person to attempt to escape will be shot and killed.

Since no one can be first by these terms, no one can escape.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@adamlevitan Idk if you can call income verification beyond a certain point overly invasive.
Many jurisdictions already mandate it.

How many people can afford to lose say >$50k, that can't easily verify it?

What's the downside?

[Martin @MartinK331]

@strassa2 Have read and liked most of these, will add the rest to my list.

Some similar ones I liked:
-The World for Sale
-Billion Dollar Whale
-The Man Solved the Market

@AndrewYang I was a pro-gambler for many years, but I'm disgusted by how heavily online sports/casino sites are being pushed especially to people under 25.

I've never seen anything like it. Especially the amount of outright lying/deception going on on social media.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@AndrewYang I think the correct answer is more nuanced. Sports betting should be legal,

There should be much stronger regulations on ads, promotions, and behavior of operators.

There needs to be strong regulation on paid influencers as well.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@ToddWitteles Any idea what overall numbers look like across successful brands last 2-5 years?

Guessing a big factor in some of these failures is that a huge % of people's gambling budget is now going to the legal online books. (draftkings/fanduel etc)

[Martin @MartinK331]

@apestyles @PayPal It's pretty fucked up.

They are happy to accept the high fees from gambling sites.

But then are not willing to properly handle the customers that come with them.

I have no problem if they refuse business from large accounts. But this holding money hostage needs to stop.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@apestyles @PayPal Yep, I have one of my horses with a similar issue.

0 incoming, and very few outgoing transfers other than from legal US regulated poker sites. (WSOP etc)

He has a big amount locked for months with no explanation after some big-ish wins/withdraws.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@jdorman81 @krugermacro I think with how correlated BTC is to trad. markets, it's just horrible across the board.

Aside from that I agree. There's a 1-2% chance of chaos.

I think that's probably priced in/mutes the effects of blue win/amplifies effects or red win.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@krugermacro I think that's not true? Depends where you draw the line on successful, but Kamala is massively favored with college educated or better voters, which is a pretty good indicator.

Trump an even bigger favorite with high school or less.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@krugermacro @sedonaroxx In which case you should be betting on Kamala since betting markets are at 62/38? 😆

7% edge there then + hedge crypto exposure some in the process most likely. (Though not convinced Trump win leads to immediate bull run, so not a perfect hedge.)

[Martin @MartinK331]

@strassa2 If you want to do this in good faith, implement for the 2032 election, and begin issuing a free national ID card, and offer easy and free ways to apply.

(Including in person, and digitally through a phone app.)

The GOP will not pass this.

[Martin @MartinK331]

@strassa2 Problem is there's no free US ID card.

Take a 50y/o with a disability, who is unable to work/drive.

What ID do you have that's up to date?

If they can barely pay for rent/food, and any option that exists comes with a $40+ fee.

Do we want to make them "too poor" to vote?
