"if you want to just write code all day (and there's nothing wrong with that) don't create a product - work for somebody else." this is exactly correct. it is the same reason why so many restaurants fail; somebody says "hey, im a good cook

Ive never purchased a new car, so could be thinking about this in the wrong way, but isnt $1/mile way way more expensive than $600/yr? $1/mile seems crazy expensive, so I must be understanding that wrong

Credit Cards are almost definitely going to have an interest rate much higher than 13%. How would that be better than a loan from Amazon? If you need to take months to arrange the line of credit, then I understand your argument, but Amazo

Just a heads up, your second link does not discuss any fraud of the players and instead discusses money laundering which the sites had to engage in to pay players from the United States. UltimateBet and AbsolutePoker had a massive cheating

As far as zero-sum goes, with the rake [the fee per pot casinos charge] it is negative sum. Further, when ESPN pays Caesars to broadcast the World Series of Poker, none of that money is added to the prize pool, so it is not like profession

Again, as I said in response to TomGullen's comment, that is still the very basic of poker math. Further, your example is incorrect. To continue with an OESD [open ended straight draw], you do not need 2 opponents. You simply need the po

This is an incredibly jaded reply. Somebody who was "never especially good" at programming but spent a lot of time try to be could make the exact same post. Poker is very difficult to become successful at in your part-time, because you ne

Right. I dont doubt that a reading may have shown 3%, but you simply cannot walk around with bodyfat that low. In competitions bodybuilders will get to sub 6% but they dont maintain that for more than a day or even just a few hours, becau

Diet sodas are very very low calorie (some think they all are zero, but many are like 10cal per 20oz, so still negligible but not 0). Regardless, diet sodas do not make people fat. They may somehow affect other things that then increase o
