    No, they take a fee for selling too.

    House always wins.

    My losses on Crypto pretty much equal the fees.
    Made loads of stupid mistakes at the start.

    They give a number of free trades at the start and I didn't really notice/appreciate how much they were actually charging me. Just jumped into the game without checking the rake.

    Biggest mistake was not having a plan.
    Finger hovering over the sell button at every dip.

    Anytime I bought it went down, when I sold it went up.
    When I tried to fool the system by deciding to sell and then at the last second running away and hiding under a pile of coats it still went down

      You gotta subtract weekends, public holidays, and annual leave or wha?
      I imagine you do and then the return would be like 50 - 100 max or something?

        Didn't put much thought into it. I'm on call weekends anyway. Just pulled a number out of my head. 260 or something like that.

          Turning millions into thousands

          Comment



            Had an interesting meeting first thing this morning.

            Company we tried to win business off a few years back contacted me out of the blue a few weeks ago.

            We originally fell at the final hurdle after winning over the Irish team only for the owner (non Irish and based abroad, who we never got to meet, decided to stay with their imcumbent)

            Turns out the incumbent recently fucked them over big time so we got to have a meeting with the Irish team and the owner.

            Two minutes into the meeting, the owner has used, 'fuck' 'bullshit' 'cunt' multiple times, not aggro in any way, just how he talks, every fifth word is a curse.

            He later uses the phrase 'It's like Mike Tyson having consensual sex' to illustrate how unbelievable something was.

            If we lock the account up this time, we could be in for an interesting ride...

              I believe it's something like 10% of your electricity bill and 30% of your broadband bill * number of day worked per year.

              Not sure if i picked it up right from a friend during the week that you will then only get 20% of this figure from revenue. Essentially, most people will get a pittance back.

                    My favourite part of sales/retention is the people you meet.
                    Love chatting to the different characters you meet about their business/hobbies etc.
                    One of my customers does the same routine every year. Gives out about any proposal I bring to him, talks in circles for ages then eventually signs. I already have the paperwork filled out ready to go before I meet knowing full well hes going with it!

                      It's called Solking actually.
                      also my departures were frustrations as speky cunce who wouldn't say boo to you IRL basically were insulting and receiving cliquey back up. Now I no longer give 2 shits .as I'm a speky cunce myself.
                      So I solked off . Cunce still bring it up though when I meet you, I'll cut ya.

                      What happened with Raoul? I'm a fecker for only reading the last few posts . Come back RD at least for Cheltenham.

                        Brothers into writing as a hobby and obviously enjoys reading.

                        Was thinking a 1st edition book would be a good present but a bit clueless as to fair prices. Due Dil would be just comparing vendors prices/condition of book I guess and then haggle a bit. Biggest thing would not be getting scammed so would prob end up going to a mainstream dealer = higher price more likely.

                            ...Sticking this in for the wider audience... AJ runs the multi sport competition, and it's by far the best run and most interesting competition to enter (apologies to the horse and FF people)... Takes a bit of time to get initial selections sorted- but then pretty much zero input after it (make 4 changes in a year if you like)...
                            ...The competition was great for interest in several events you wouldn't normally like- I followed the womens handball on betfair live as it was having an effect on the overall scores)...

                            ...So take a few minutes, (maybe an hour), send €40 and your selections, and enjoy a great year of mixed sports- with a good chance of coming 2nd behind me...

                              Daniel/Doug match update

                              Polk has massive side bets along with many of his friends on him just winning. So after Daniel booked the $390k winning session last week he came back this week and for the first time this match he starts limping the button when the match still has 6k hands left trying to lower variance to make sure he gets over the line ahead. Daniel has a pretty good rant after the session calling him Grandpa Polk. It is quite a change of tune from Doug after all his bravo about backing up the truck but given his side bets are probably worth many multiples of what he can win from this point it is understandable.

                              So they come back yesterday and Daniel starts tanking every decision for like 20 seconds. They agreed to a minimum of 2 hours 3 times a week so he is slowing the match to a crawl in an attempt to bleed out as few hands as possible while he studies Doug's limping strategy as he hasn't prepared for this at all while also putting Doug on life tilt as he has openly said he doesn't enjoy poker anymore and wants the match done asap so drawing this out is his worst nightmare. They exchange words and eventually decide to call Galfond in to adjudicate early in the session. Daniel isn't doing anything outside the rules so they continue and Doug stops limping but is furious.

                              Cool -$14.8m for the r/wsb end boss today.

                                  Denny Is he saying here that they have effectively shut off the tap to buy orders to protect them because he isn't confident in the other side being able to pay. So they are protecting the short side?

                                    Ha, he'd hardly do a baby_solks on it. He's presumably over stressed by something. A lot of people gone weird in these last few months for all manner of reasons.

                                      He;s saying he's not confident in either side being able to pay. Gamestop could drop 50%+ overnight and wipe out accounts that are long. Brokerages are the hook for whatever way the market move. They shut off selling too, not just buying. Margin requirements for exchanges and clearers has gone up massively. Once people start to worry about counter-party risk, things get difficult.

                                      This stuff happens at a smaller level all the time. Margin rates go up to curtail risk when things get volatile.

                                      No one want left on the hook

                                        New Madlib album Sound Ancestors just came out at midnight. Arranged/mastered by four tet.

                                        Might interest some. And others should give it a try it's just a lovely arrangement of nice sounds

                                          Exchanges do this all the time to protect themselves.
                                          What happens if somebody get themselves screwed with options. And owes 6-figures more than they have in the account. Where does the rest of the money come from.
                                          Is it covered by RH or whoever? Or it is up to the individual to chase them in court?

                                          Remember that WBS guy who dieds on Apple puts. What would have happened to him?

                                              And he is right there are liquidity and settlement risks, where those markets are open 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, and contingent liabilities are pre arranged. Its archaic

                                                    RH would be have to cover it. And they'd pursue the client. They maxed out their credit lines last night.

                                                    this is why things are getting restricted. Everyone is worried about counterparty risk.

                                                    At least hedge funds have decent credit. It's mostly retail who would get screwed here, and don't have the ability to pay.

                                                      It's an amazing news story in the sense that nearly everything about it is misreported, and even most of the participants don't understand what's going on.

                                                        Bitcoin can barely handle the volume it does now. It will never be viable to have hundred of millions of orders trading through decentralised network every day.

                                                          Something like the lightning netwotk or another layer 2 protocol should be able to handle over a million transactions a second. That stuff is solvable.

After a two week battle with Covid, and after suffering a severe stroke in August '19 he sadly passed away in the early hours. It would be very comforting for myself and family members if you would share any

If they go well the counterparty (despite being a clearing house) also won’t pay so he’ll lose out as he has to pay the customer.

                                                                                        As I pushed send I realised I didn’t even touch on your question. iPad typing makes it hard!

                                                                                        no idea why it’s illegal, I haven’t seen anything.

                                                                                        The margin question is because unless every broker makes them trade on cash rather than margin the same issue exists. They might not get paid i.e. you buy through me on cash, counter party opens a short position and doesn’t have collateral, then I may have to pay you if the clearing house or broker fails. I might ask, especially if I’m allowing trades for free, whether it’s worth the hassle.

                                                                                          Closing date for entries of next Saturday just before the 6 Nations starts.
                                                                                          Pick the winners of everything from Champions League to Stanley Cup, get points, win money.


                                                                                          Tables are a bit of mess on 'new' IPB unfortunately, so going to do as much of the competition as possible via google spreadsheets. So the attached document is the initial list of events for this years competition. (Some more events will be added in July as this format seemed to work well last year). https://docs.google.com/sp


                                                                                          limpwhacker. Will be mostly ran via google sheets this year, so the thread opening slowly because of all the tables won't be an issue.

                                                                                          Originally posted by RichieM

                                                                                                Probably be in 6 figures after I ramp up in a while with majority ETFs, some GME style fun. Same place recommended for ETFs vs individual picks? Or say like Degiro for ETFs (they have security up to 100k?), 212 for individual etc?

                                                                                                              Polk has massive side bets along with many of his friends on him just winning. So after Daniel booked the $390k winning session last week he came back this week and for the first time this match he starts limping the button when the match still has 6k hands left trying to lower variance to make sure he gets over the line ahead. Daniel has a pretty good rant after the session calling him Grandpa Polk. It is quite a change of tune from Doug after all his bravo about backing up the truck but given his side bets are probably worth many multiples of what he can win from this point it is understandable.

                                                                                                              So they come back yesterday and Daniel starts tanking every decision for like 20 seconds. They agreed to a minimum of 2 hours 3 times a week so he is slowing the match to a crawl in an attempt to bleed out as few hands as possible while he studies Doug's limping strategy as he hasn't prepared for this at all while also putting Doug on life tilt as he has openly said he doesn't enjoy poker anymore and wants the match done asap so drawing this out is his worst nightmare. They exchange words and eventually decide to call Galfond in to adjudicate early in the session. Daniel isn't doing anything outside the rules so they continue and Doug stops limping but is furious.

                                                                                                              Cool -$14.8m for the r/wsb end boss today.

                                                                                                              Thanks for the update OPR. This grudge match has kinda dragged me back into poker media as entertainment. I forgot how much I enjoyed the cut and thrust of the bravado, degeneracy, the next level thinking, the sub-level thinking and all the drama that entails.

                                                                                                              I went back to 2+2 for the first time in a couple of years I'd say to look for a thread about GME degeneracy and who was winning and losing (someone on here mentioned some poker players had been caught on the wrong side I think).

                                                                                                              Anyway, didn't find anything before I stumbled across a new Full Tilt/Black Friday tread started just yesterday AMA - Former Senior Full Tilt Employee 2007-2012.

                                                                                                              Thought it might be of some interest to some on here. Nothing really that new so far (only 4 pages so easy enough to catch up) but its kinda intriguing and nostalgic to to look at it from this remove.

                                                                                                              What a palaver!

I honestly don't think I remember a time when such a wealth of talent was to the fore across so many genres of music (come at me!)
