  1. It's good to see the kinder, gentler Monkey was a temporary aberration. All it takes is a few minutes with Google to become an expert. ELO is a numeric ranking of chess players. It has been used for years. It can be calculated for computer chess programs. The higher the rating the better. I'll leave it to Monkey to explain how ELO is flawed and meaningless. Stockfish is a free, open source chess program. It runs on PCs, tablets, and phones. It has an ELO of 3443. Magnus Carlsen, currently the highest ranked human, has an ELO of 2843.
  2. Considering the behaviors of many people In the worlds of Las Vegas and internet forums, Fishhead is no worse than a lot of people. I like reading his posts.
  3. LGD - sponsored by The Legends Room, a Las Vegas gentlemans club. We need a LV local to do some research on this. Get some. http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/i-team-las-vegas-strip-club-accepts-cryptocurrency/953342642
  4. This is not really a big surprise. See Squarepants, a lawyer, at EOG. There has been chatter everywhere that this would be the ruling. Pechanga casino (SoCal) claims to be the biggest casino west of Vegas. They suddenly opened an offtrack horsebook a few months ago. They are ready if the legal issues are all resolved. California online poker was ready to go in the legislature every year for the last few years. It never quite made it. There were too many entrenched interests that all wanted to run it. Horse racing, Indian casinos, poker rooms, lottery groups couldn't agree and had enough clout to prevent passage.. It may be a while for California.
  5. I agree. A poker player is making money by gambling. A video poker player is not.
  6. Does being a tout count as making a living from gambling? What about a bookie? I'm not implying that there are touts or bookies here. I'm just curious as to what counts as "making income from gambling".
  7. Things that have zero chance of happening: http://forum.thegamblingforum.com/index.php?/topic/44343-ot-my-favorite-dancer-at-the-spearmint-rhino/
  8. The top golf mind at TGF can always learn a new trick or two. If you haven't seen this site, this guy has some good stat sheets on the players in each tournament. https://sites.google.com/site/smartgolfbets/tournament-sheets Historical performance in the same tourney and results from other recent tournaments for each player. Might find a hidden lil GEM with these.
  9. Minor leaguer has a tryout for the majors. Doesn't move up. Fox just didn't realize how talented he really is. If it wasn't for Fox and Trump he would have a national TV show by now.
  10. If you can't find THE MEATMAN you ain't looking.
  11. I don't go grocery shopping very often. But when I do, the women get in line for me. I'm the most interesting man in the world!
  12. AOL mail was down for two hours. They came back several hours ago. The cyberwar has started.
  13. I remembered that Brock is afflicted with the GOUT. Now FH is imagining that he has gout. FH seems to have some sort of strange desire to be like Brock. It's probably best if Brock stays out of Vegas for awhile.
  14. I believe you have to use a cell phone app. They locate you within the state from the cell tower locations. I don't think you can get in with internet access. Sports apps in Nevada are the same. Home address doesn't matter.
  15. For you Nate Silver fans & Fazzer: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-tennessee-the-men-could-easily-get-a-no-1-seed/ His writer says Tenn has a shot at getting the fourth #1 seed spot. Tenn has an easy path from here on out and the other contenders will have potentially tough paths to navigate. 5Dimes doesn't even list a future for Tenn as NCAA champ. If you can find a Tenn future somewhere, put $10 on it. It should be 100-1. You can have some arb fun during the tourney if they get in.
  16. Meatman doesn't deny he is hooked up with the books he advertises.
  17. Let's take up a collection. Buy a homeless person a one way bus ticket from Vegas to SF and give them $20 traveling money.
  18. Market has improved. Looks like 400 or so down now. I was looking forward to an entertaining day of talk TV. Lots of end of the world talk. Hoping it would be as good as the day after Trumps election.
  19. Futures market indicates 1000 down on the Dow for Tuesday open.
  20. "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private" If you pay or receive money from the government, it will be in dollars. If you pay or receive money in a private transaction it will be in dollars if either party specifies dollars. This is by law. The man with gun, the judge with the courtroom, and the warden at the penitentiary will encourage you to observe the law. Currencies fail because governments fail.
  21. https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/handicapper-think-tank/1694224-my-shrine-academic-articles-all-things-sports-gambling-p3.html An old discussion from 2012 in the SBR thinktank. The contexts are bashing posters and running them off and posting useful information is pubilc forums.. Nothing much of value in the thread so it's not really worth reading. There are appearances from several current forum celebrities. MF is still apparently having trouble with the "tap the glass" expression. cyberbabble said: Monkey used to be a professional poker player? I hate to use cliches but don't tap the glass. If somebody doesn't understand what this means, ask around. I can't discuss such sensitive things in a public forum. You guys might use it against me and destroy the +EV of my million dollar NFL model. MF replied: "Tapping the glass" is similar to providing modeling methodologies to the public for free. Although, it's quite a bit more complex than combinatorics (outs) and equity in poker. Either I have a good memory or I'm obsessed with MF.
  22. It's good to see that Brock is finally receiving the respect he deserves. He is living the life of a celebrity.
  23. Brock knows all of the special techniques used by professional gamblers to win big. FH taught him how to win by betting both sides in a game.
