lost me here

I have my money in blockchain which I was told I needed to use to deposit and take money out of gambling sites, and then coinbase which is how I deposit said gambling money into my bank account.  Obviously there is a lot I dont know

When you purchase on coinbase, the coins are deposited to a wallet address just like your blockchain address.  When you send btc the receiver can see the address of the wallet it came from.  You can do a search on that wallet and see whats in there.  That's whenever you send BTC anywhere,  you will see it show up and then get shipped off to another address. 

I'm not a real big tech guy so hopefully this isn't gibberish.  I'm stronger in practice than in theory.   All of the bitcoin network is technically the "blockchain".  Only exchanges sell the coins because of all the anti-money laundering laws they need to comply with.  Every bitcoin transaction is like you take the record of every other BTC transaction done before, and then add a line to the end and roll it over again.  You can go back and trace line by line the chain of custody of the coins, but it would take a supercomputer years to do it.

 
The Fork has been on the horizon for a couple years.  Uncertainty has been weighing down the market price.   I feel the fork is the last gasp of the miner associations attempting to feel like they are in control, I could see the new fork not working and "snapping back" to the blockchain, but I can't see how the blockchain itself crumbles.  BTC may lose while BCC wins, but I don't see that happening for long.  Then BTC should soar!

 
Not trying to be a brainiac here but I notice that not only have the White Sox been losing but they're clearing the runline.

10 of last 17 they've lost by 1.5 runs (58%)

9 of last 17 they've lost by 2.5 runs (53%)

7 of last 17 they've lost by 3.5 runs (41%)

I don't know at what point you can get EVEN money for these -1.5, -2.5, -3.5

But -2.5 strikes me as a line that probably would have to be even or better and it's hit at 53%. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm seeing value here.

Got home during the fifth inning without realizing Hellickson didn't start so.. mistakenly felt the rage of witnessing the other team hit an inside-the-park home run. This must be what the little kid felt like in that Shel Silverstein poem.

Huh.  That's a name I didn't expect in here...

I don't think there's a way to make money on pitching changes in baseball, Action means the line changes and you get the new line.  If you have a book that holds the line AFTER pitching changes you need to exploit it until they boot you.  Although if they're doing that they're using horrific software that probably has significantly more loopholes that you can slowly bleed dry.

First of all better lucky than good.

second of all it turns out one of the sites I have (with two different agents) didn't update the odds.

30 years gambling never knew. Granted I don't make that play very often but still an odd ruling on that play IMO. He cut me a break too since it didn't tell me at time of submitting, he thought it was weird too. 

 
Davis, Walters' friend for more than 20 years, was the government's star witness.
Click to expand...
A day after signing a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in New York last year, former Dean Foods Co. chairman Tom C. Davis went to Las Vegas to party.

Davis is the government's star witness at the insider-trading trial of gambler Billy Walters. Walters' lawyer, Barry Berke, has spent more than a day grilling Davis, depicting him as a man willing to do anything to win a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, including lying to get his former friend convicted.

On Thursday Berke questioned Davis about what he did after signing the deal in which he agreed to plead guilty to a dozen separate crimes, including securities fraud, conspiracy and perjury. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to back his request for leniency with his sentencing judge if Davis helped them by testifying.

"Isn’t it true that on the day you signed your agreement with the government, you arranged to go on a gambling junket to Las Vegas?" Berke asked, adding that records show Davis dropped $50,000 on the trip.

Davis responded that the trip was a birthday present for himself and he traveled with his wife and another couple.

"Counselor, I’d been under a lot of pressure, and had a good time." March 23

I don't know man. I just looked at his last two "months of July," and then maybe exactly what you just said. I also did a little on ML and o3 +115. The RL was appealing with the + number but the losses in that situation weren't even close so I left that alone.

L2 seasons Klubes 3-6 SU July:
0-4 SU away
0-4 SU after going > 7.1 innings his previous start
0-6 SU scoring < 8 runs
0-6 SU scoring ≤ 2 runs before the oppo team scored
0-5 SU when the bullpen allowed > 1 run
sdql

 
*add to it 0-6 SU when Kluber allowed < 3 runs his previous start

*0-4 SU when it was < 81 degrees outside (avg temp 74 degrees)

Good call on Kattar mo, I misplayed it.

 
My nine year old just asked "Floyd Mayweather is better than that guy, right?"

ETA:  "The black guy, that used to be number three.....sucks".

During the last five seasons Verlander has been the most profitable starter to fade on Sunday. If you bet against him every Sunday start since 2013 you'd be 18-8 SU against an average line of +137 for +$1,570. Most profitable starter to fade in that situation L5 seasons, all day games. sdql
