Yeah using my Boyles account. I've 11k hands this month so far and play at all times during the day so defo strange we haven't played. Feel free to let me know your sn if we cross paths just incase you take me to the cleaners with my aggro 3/4betting style!Originally posted by zuutroy View Post
Had a crazy day today. Put in over 2k hands which is my most in a day by a long way and finished up 6BI but it was swingy as hell!
Think i'll finish the full month at 20nl and then have a look at moving up to 50nl but will defo need a couple of guys to take a look at my stats and help me iron out some of my leaks. It's funny though that i've noticed the biggest loser in my database ending up at a lot of my tables. Kinda fun that i think he's (skip_2myL) following me

With all this talk about none of our politicians having the qualities needed to lead our great nation
I have looked all over the world and I think I found a replacement for
Someone who has the delivery and style needed to get us out of this mess
Someone with the screen presence to deliver the confident message needed to attract new investment
Someone who has an eye for the ladies

Prize Bonds are similar to this right? I've had one for years, never won a thing. Great scam!
Could a Lottery Be the Answer to America’s Poor Savings Rate?
The Gates Foundation has just pledged $500 million to a cause that seems quite different from typical problems like disease, famine or illiteracy. That $500 million is going to help poor people learn to save money.
“We think really that poverty stops where savings starts,” Chris De Noose of the World Savings Bank Institute told the L.A. Times.
The new Freakonomics Radio podcast (download/subscribe at iTunes, get the RSS feed or listen live via the link in box at right) explores an idea that the Gates Foundation may want to look into: Prize-Linked Savings (PLS). In a nutshell, PLS is a kind of savings account that pools some of the interest from all depositors and pays out a big lottery prize every month or so. It combines the thrill of the lottery with the safety of a savings account. It’s sometimes called a “no-lose lottery,” since a depositor is automatically entered into the lottery but can’t lose the original money she deposits.
And while PLS might play well in the poorest parts of Africa and Asia, there’s a group of researchers who feel that PLS is very badly needed right here in the U.S.
Peter Tufano is a Harvard Business School professor who specializes in consumer finance. He recently helped conduct a survey in several countries, including the U.S., which asked people if they could come up with $2,000 in 30 days if they had to. It turns out that nearly half of Americans couldn’t — “which means,” Tufano says in the podcast, “that they stand only one emergency or crisis away from really quite dire circumstances. This isn’t picked up in the national economic statistics.”
The facts are simple. Americans have a low savings rate; and Americans love to play the lottery. Last year, we spent more than $58 billion on lottery tickets, or roughly $200 per person. As entertainment goes, the lottery is pretty cheap — a dollar and a dream and all that. But as an investment, it offers a dreadful return. States typically withhold about 40 percent of the ticket money from the prize pool for overhead costs and, often, education funds. That’s a far worse return than casino gambling or horse race betting. Which is why the lottery is sometimes called “a tax on stupid people.”
That’s why people like Tufano and University of Maryland economist Melissa Kearney are interested in bringing PLS plans to the U.S. (Here’s their paper on the topic, well worth a read.) PLS accounts have been successful in other parts of the world for years. In the podcast, you’ll hear from Tufano and Kearney, as well as from the folks who started a successful PLS program in South Africa — and the folks who got that program shut down.
Why? Because the National Lotteries Board of South Africa sued the bank that offered the PLS. It turns out that the biggest obstacle to offering a lottery payout with a savings account is … the state-run lottery.
And that may be the biggest barrier to making PLS happen in the U.S.: it is, for the most part and in most states, illegal.Comment

With Prize Bonds you are slowly losing the value of your investment over time due to inflation - the €100 put into prize bonds now will still be worth €100 when you cash them in decades from now, whereas of course that €100 will then not be able to buy as much. TBH I'd rather put money into a crappy An Post 5-year bond than Prize Bonds, they are a waste of time!*Originally posted by Emmet View Post
