@BillKrackman @RR39 I wish we could bring my wife along more often Krack. She is lucky 🍀 as heck, but she is bored out of her mind by anything sports or casino related. I’m happy if I can get her to enjoy an afternoon at the racetrack just to hang outside watching the ponies run once a year. 😂✌️

Do you have a lucky item you bring with you while gambling? Some math guys laugh at luck. I say, if it makes you feel positive, bring it along!! @rr39 has won hundreds of thousands with his “lucky Masters hat”. WiseKracks youtu.be/AgOZ-JT5glA?si…

@BillKrackman Nowadays, track takeouts are insane, short prices, many races raise fixed-race skeptic’s heckles, and stewards are inconsistent with foul claims imho. I still love watching, but trying to beat the game is worse than a slot machine imho, especially w/the new phantom tax. 🤷‍♂️🐴

@BillKrackman There were some nice OTBs in the Chicago area I’d go to w/my pops in the late 70s, early 80s. We’d have lunch & spend some quality time together. I remember them being well kept & generally respectable establishments. However, the sport of kings had regular fans back then. 🐴✌️

“How can we turn sleazy off- track betting into a respectable sport? Let’s get the biggest celebrities in America to do OTB ads for nothing”. These were the original gambling influencers…. Taking a line out of the movie CASINO “in the end NY fvcked it all up”

@StanTheCaddy6 @BillKrackman Best post here. Most of the time that supposed AP counter pops when I play that machine, it pays crap, so I’ve given up chasing it unless it happens to occasionally be up there and extremely close when I randomly sit down to kill some time. Peace ✌️

@BillKrackman Yes and the actual value of what she's waiting on is far less then these people even have a clue

This is the definition of a Sour Rooter “Please go broke so I can steal the progressive bonus you built up”

@BillKrackman Holy Sh*t! Krack, that’s highway robbery. Add IRS theft of unrealized gains tax on top of that BS and they’re burying us before we walk in the door. WTH is going on? Are people really crazy enuff to keep playing some of this stuff? We really have to pick our spots these days. ✌️

This is a recent photo of the inside motherboard of a slot machine. The casinos are squeezing the public and making the RTP(return to player)on the machines lower and lower. This machine 83.96%, You have almost no chance of winning on machines this low. Every single time you push the button you lose 45 cents on a 3 dollar bet. At 500 spins an hour you are losing $225 an hour. Very few people even make 1/4 of that per hour. They are just draining our pockets and giving us less and less in return

@JakeMorrisonNBA Too many whistles & free throws in the game to begin with these days. Just have players put on pads & self police the game. Make the refs just time managers, score keepers, and mitigation specialists there to try and keep the peace. Put the f’n whistles away & play ball 🏀 🤷‍♂️🤣

BREAKING: The NBA is investigating head referee Scott Foster following the Lakers game against the Celtics. Multiple goaltending calls were missed throughout the game. Foster will be suspended without pay as the league investigates.

@BillKrackman Been quietly watching & listening to ya for a long time sir. Just thought I’d drop a quick note to say thanks for all the wisdom and stories. Keep up the good work. Peace ✌️

1. Sportsbooks are now suspending accounts of customers if they find out they are threatening athletes. 2. NJ Senator trying to ban sportsbooks from texting customers trying to get them to gamble more. WiseKracks on YouTube

@MTTrading2 As an old school collector, who’s given up due to BS since the last “boom” & infiltration of “gambling” markets by some greedy pricks out there, I’d love to see crooked players who take advantage of & scam others taken down & have real collectible value & scarcity revived ✌️

Turner blocked me when I highlighted that PSA had no mechanism in place to know how many times this happened.

@MTTrading2 Your will power to stay on this kind of BS in the market still gives me a “small sliver” of hope for a better future in the collectibles market at some point during my retirement years. Godspeed. Peace ✌️

This isn't collecting. It's insurance. Like in Blackjack

@MTTrading2 No way. Don’t tell me this is so. I’m shocked and now riddled with emotions.😳 Rflmao. Peace✌️😂

Price manipulation. Who would’ve thought ? Bonus - upper deck president opines on stock prices 🤣

@CFCNole @KevOnStage @Showtime_MOB Unless peeps are on the ML/Spread, seems like some hardly care who wins anymore. Pro sports occasionally feel like individual player shows since most leagues are supported through revenue sharing. Win? Lose? Entertain? Rig? Another work day. Still get paid! 🤷‍♂️ Peace ✌️

@KevOnStage @Showtime_MOB I try and watch NFL, NBA, etc. games with long-time friends of mine, and their entire conversation is based on this player getting two more catches or three more rebounds or one anytime touchdown so they can turn $5 into $16.33. No real game commentary. It’s beyond out of hand.

Hot take. Betting was better off remaining largely illegal and only in Vegas.

@KevOnStage .. to keep this massive industry alive and well (imho) without inevitably going back underground, all professional sport leagues MUST be legally classified as Sports Leagues and NOT ENTERTAINMENT to protect the integrity the game & betting community. Peace ✌️

@KevOnStage … I wouldn’t mind if they reduced or eliminated sports props on individual players (especially “scrubs”) where they have the ability to control an outcome before the game or match even starts (fake injury, weak play targeting under, colluded overs, etc.) - finally…

@DMProps @AzGaming @GoldenNuggetLV @goldennuggetac @GoldenNuggetLC @goldennuggetlt Sorry for delayed reply, but yes I finally did after posting on X & multiple copies & complaints sent to the gaming commission. We should ALL #Fear & #Hate dealing w/ crooked (imho) books like this! It #Angers me SO MUCH! Trying to stay in the game is hard enough! Good Luck🍀

@BrianCollects @AzGaming @GoldenNuggetLV @goldennuggetac @GoldenNuggetLC @goldennuggetlt Did you get paid out? I been attempting to get paid out for weeks now and they keep giving me the run around.

⚠️WARNING⚠️ The #GoldenNugget online sportsbook in AZ just made my list as one of the most shady and difficult books to withdrawal money 💰 from with nothing but shenanigans & delays. Reported to @AzGaming @GoldenNuggetLV @goldennuggetac @GoldenNuggetLC @goldennuggetlt

@MTTrading2 💯Agree!

PSA comic slabs look like ass

At some point any one ☝️ of these reasons will make you so suspicious 🤨 , skeptical 🧐, and/or angry 😤 enough to start believing games and events are #RIGGED when probabilistic outliers start making your head hurt. 😞 #ItsEntertainment #BetSmart

I was thinking tonight the cure for #Gambling #Addiction is becoming publicly traded crooked books, govt idiot (tax to death) regulation, #Props w/cheating players, and pro sports classified as “entertainment”, milking gambling ad revenue. 💰🎰 #WinnersGetLimited #LosersGetLove

@MTTrading2 @CardLadder So sick 🤮 of the modern sports card biz. It needs a watch dog since it clearly hasn’t been able to effectively police itself over the past couple years. Keep up the good work out there. Maybe there’s hope yet for kids of future generations, long after my old ass is no more. 😂👍

More intra-platform activity at Alt. The step-up in this activity is just so blatant, and aligns with the platforms decision a few months ago to step up advertising around new record sales. data from @CardLadder
