You mention any sort of RG issues and your account will be closed no matter how big a VIP you are. Accounts will also be actively closed if you show RG issues in certain deposit/withdrawal patterns. Standard practice for most gambling companies interested in staying compliant I would think.

...yeah it is fishy how Spain are banning it, surely it's not really to do Sith the India case...I'd guess normal taxi companies putting pressure to ban internet taxi companies...

But obviously we are both droolers for claiming this..

To temper my earlier ranting here are some pretty amazing pictures. I covered a piece of silicon with about 50 atomic layers of manganese oxide which went down nice and flat, put it in sodium hydroxide and passed a current through it and this is what happened....

What exactly are these 'certain deposit\withdrawal patterns, plenty of room for creativity there.
Not an anti gambling zealot btw, it's just my bullshit detector fries anytime I hear anything about responsible gambling from any of these companies

As I say, mention anything along the lines of I can't feed my family or anything close to RG and you will be closed down. Constantly cancelling withdrawal requests would be a big one, not really my area but a lot of checks are done.
Obviously companies don't get copies of customers payslips or bank balances to know exactly if a 10k degen bet is pocket change or a years wages so can only do so much.

Originally posted by thechamp87 View PostI was just pointing out how unrealistic it sounded. If he actually was dabbling in $200/$400 surely he'd have lost more than $5k in one hand. You can't even sit with $5k in that game.
Well, I had six, but I had to know.
What happened?
Played tight for an hour. I folded mostly, and then I made a score.

Better story was another lad who got his tank up to 9.9k and decided to try to get to 10k and cash out to pay off student loans, got it all in for the lot pre with 99 v A8 and got done.

Its pretty funny that it takes a gambling thread on a general forum we left to start a dedicated poker forum to make us talk about gambling again.
LONG LIVE THE BBV.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostNot sure I'm feeling the alarm implied in amber weather alerts. 130kmh winds sounds phenomenally windy, but calling it an amber alert just doesn't do it justice.
Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostDon't think BB holds up to a rewatch like the Sopranos or The Wire does.Originally posted by Zod View PostHaving recently rewatched, yes, it does.Originally posted by eamonhonda View PostNo fitn pal. Bb was great but lacked the quality of storyline and characters of the others. It was cliffhanger tv at its finest but not much rewatch value as others said.SPOILER(and the build up) to where Jessie kills Galefirst time around was unreal, classic edge of the seat stuff. Second time around, knowing what's going to happen, no where near as good.
On season 5 of The Sopranos first time watching it, definitely seems to be way more depth to the program and would say it'd be better to rewatch.
Eamonn is spot on imo. Breaking Bad was excellent cliffhanger TV, and tbf Walt and Gus in particular were excellent characters, but doesn't have the same depth in as The Sopranos from what I've seen.

OK this may be a stupid question but I cant work out the answer
I bought a Euromillion ticket for £2 but it can be bought for €2 south of border. The prizepool is advertised in both Sterling and Euro using conversion rate so value is same but initial cost , the £2 is more as no currency conversion in place. Therefore I would save 42p ( at current rates) per ticket bought if I buy them in south. Wouldn't I ?
Awaiting to be told/shown just how much an idiot I am.......................

Anybody have any idea/opinion on what Irish Banks will say to me if I enquire about Buy to let Mortgages, given I am playing poker full time so have no "stable income", but am able to put down whatever % is required? Will they look at me at all or does no salary = they arent interested ?
Any opinions on pros/cons of buying outright vs getting a buy to let mortgage in my situation?
In general, not looking at a specific property/area

You are better served talking to a professional in your situation Valor. I doubt a bank would accept your income as reliable, rightly or wrongly. Appetite for risk and where you want to be in 5/10 years would help answer what to do with it.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral
