## Speaker_1: ##
You laugh but I don’t think there *is* another way to play craps.
## Speaker_2: ##
Noone really knows how to play craps. You just roll the dice and judge the reaction of the dealer to work out what happened.
## Speaker_3: ##
My friend and I watched people play craps for 20 minutes. No idea how to play, so we lost our money at the roulette table instead.
## Speaker_4: ##
The best way to play is bet on the numbers on the back right, and bet the odds. I think 4 and 10 are 2:1 so bet 5. If you bet like a dollar and you win, the house takes a larger percentage.
If you literally bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10, and betting the correct amount, you're basically getting better odds than roulette. Everything else is for show on the board, the easier the bet they let you put it down is going to be worse for you, the better the bet is if you have to ask the house to place it for you.
Personally I just bet on 4 and 10 and press every time, they land on them, and then 5/6/8/9 I will press every other time.
## Speaker_3: ##
what
## Speaker_4: ##
I don't know man, just stand at a craps table. The numbers furthest away from you are the best bets. You want to bet on 4 & 10.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Incorrect, 4 & 10 have a 5% house edge (the vig to 'buy'). 5 & 9 have a 4% house edge. 6 & 8 have a 1.51% house edge.
4 & 10 will pay the most if the numbers come up, but have the highest house edge on them.

What happened to the 2016 "God Emperor" people in wsb?

January 26th happened.
Wall Street is amoral in that if it's good for business, then it's good. Trump was fucking GREAT for business until then, at least in terms of stock growth, so WSB (the Id of Wall Street) was all about the "God Emperor".
Then he started doing unequivocally stupid shit, like sabre-rattling with North Korea, and more recently this tariff and trade war idiocy. These are bad for business, so now Trump is bad.
If he unfucks himself and starts making pro-business talking points again, he'll be the savior that rescued the good ol' USA from the Great Recession of The First Few Months of 2018.

> According to a recent survey by YCharts, an investment research platform, 65% of millennials ages 22-37 say they’ll reach seven-figure wealth by age 45 or sooner. And a survey released earlier this year from TD Ameritrade that found that more than half of millennials expect to be millionaires in their lifetimes, with more than four in 10 saying it’ll happen by 50.
If these are the metrics that constitute "wealthy," this really isn't unattainable for a large swath of the population.
According to [this](https://nypost.com/2019/03/14/the-us-has-more-millionaires-than-greece-has-people/), there 11.8 million households with a net worth of more than $1 million. And, the percentage obviously increases with age, so I imagine a healthy percentage of people become millionaires in their lifetimes.
If you also account for inflation, the numbers become even less impressive/more attainable.
## Speaker_0: ##
Do you realize that 11.8 million is ~3.6% of the US population (327 million)?
That's a far cry from 65%, and it's damn likely that the vast majority of current millionaires are older than 50 years.
Tl;dr: Millennials are delusional af.
Source: math.
E: I'm dumb. 11.8 was households, not individuals. So, the real percentage if you divide thier wealth to the individual level would be less than 3.6%, probably closer to 2-2.5% or so. Lol.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> it's damn likely that the vast majority of current millionaires are older than 50 years.
no shit dude that's literally a point i made and it supports my argument
## Speaker_0: ##
You're suggesting that because ***only*** 3.6% of us have $1MM saved, that means that saving $1MM
> ...really isn't unattainable for a ***large swath of the population***...
Do you consider ~3.6% a "late swath"? Lol.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Do you think the average household has 1 person in it?
Do you think that wealth is evenly distributed across all age groups?

Then why is the S&P only down 1-2% for the year after going up 295% over the last nine years?

Banks playing a huge game of chicken right now. First one to go bankrupt loses.
## Walls1337bot: ##
What do you think about the fed bailing the banks out again, only permanently with QE? At a certain point in the interest rate cycle and with such high levels of debt globally, the central banks are left with two options. Raise interest rates, to encourage saving. Or Inflate their way out of debt through cranking the presses...
## Speaker_0: ##
I honestly studied banking and finance and I'm pretty sure nobody has a proper idea about why current consumer behavior is as it is.
QE isn't working (or it is and we'd be hilariously below 2008 crisis levels of economic activity).
Economy isn't picking up.
People are losing purchasing power but talking heads are shouting deflation worries?
It's a monetary shit show tbfh.
Where is all the money flowing into? Realistically? Who can actually offer ROI for the amounts of money we've been tossing into the system? You need projects worth investing in, governments clearly aren't it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I’ve been honestly thinking about that very question for a while now. Some inflation obviously went to equities.
But where did everything else go?
I’ve been thinking that the as the global economy has become interconnected, US dollar has been circulated to other parts of the world because it does not operate like a normal currency. It is also the worlds reserve currency. Surely exporting labour to China (which trump has been trying to undo) is the answer to that question? Look at the trade deficit all of the dollars are flowing to other places...
## Speaker_0: ##
But that's never been different, historically? the US has always been a huge spender while China and Europe have had saving gluts.
Yet they are both also doing a QE policy and they aren't better off...
## Walls1337bot: ##
That’s a good point... US was a creditor nation to begin with but the debt has caught up over time. The global QE damn... I’ll have to think about this now

??????????????
## Speaker_3: ##
> People are dumb and don't understand the time/risk investment of starting a business
Yes they do. The basic premise is that *nothing* he could have ever risked is worth his current net worth, and his current net worth would not be possible without the society in which he lives.
Bezos is a good entrepreneur, but don't go faggety thinking that he single handedly lifted a planet over his shoulders and walked a mile. The first 200 million he made, he deserved fair and square. The next billions he made, he made because he's exploiting the market system.

100 dollar per barrel days are gone impo, what makes you think otherwise
## Walls1337bot: ##
I certainly don't see a return to those days this year or even next year. But I just think there's too much money still left on the table for it to not be profitable for our life times. I think the world can financially handle paying $100/barrel as we did for a good while there, it only busted as we were so eager to produce oil at that price leading to surplus of supply. Honestly, I'd rather oil stay at $60-$80/barrel as the industry does just fine with that price and it gives less incentive for R&D for green alternatives. Also, as seen with the fires in Canada one small blip can cause the price of oil to jump 5-10%.
## Speaker_1: ##
" gives less incentive for R&D for green alternatives"
i know we tryin to make moneys but.....cmon bra....
## Walls1337bot: ##

I mean, they objectively do. The average American consumer saw short term price reductions on consumer goods and had no way to know the residual effects on their wages and their local economy. We traded a decent standard of living for cheap TVs and cheap labor.
## Speaker_2: ##
Erm. American executives took those jobs and gave them to the Chinese.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Right...so the Chinese took them. Who gave them away is a separate question than "who has them".

So Iam willing to work this out with you, but you'll have to help me understand. Do I make 1 play where I predict the last 3 numbers and if the last 2 are accurate I already win something? Or do I have to make the bets seperatly? I will assume I make 1 play for the last 3 numbers and I can win both match2 and match3 with it
Say I buy 1 ticket for $1
Now I could win **match2**. The way I see it for **match2** there are 3 ways it could go:
I lose both chances to match: chance = (99/100)^2
I lose one match and win with the other: chance = 2x(99/100)x(1/100)
I win both matches: chance = (1/100)^2
I assume winning both matches doesn't give "2 wins", so what matters is the chance of *at least* winning 1 match in match2! The chance for that is 1- (99/100)^2 !
(This assumes that if the "2nd chance" gives the same 2 numbers as the original drawing it is NOT repeated)
Now to **match3**:
The smartest play is to guess for 3 different numbers here. While the chances for the correct match (with correct order) is the same regardless, the chsnce of winning the x100 bet is better with 3 different numbers (333 has 1 winning option while 123 has 123, 132, 231, 321, 312, 213) So I will assume you bet on 3 different numbers here.
There are 3 ways it could go:
I guess the numbers wrong: chance = 994/1000
I guess the numbers right, but in the wrong order: chance = (1/1000)x5 (6 permutations but 1 one of them would be correct order)
I guess the numbers right and in the correct order:
Chance = 1/1000
So now to the expected return of the $1 ticket. I made a few assumptions because the rules weren't 100% clear. You need to correct me if my assumptions were wrong, I will adjust the calculations.
(1 -(99/100)^2 )x70 + (5/1000)x100 + (1/1000)x500 = 2.393. That's way bigger than 1 (the assumed ticket price) so playing would be a good bet.
Again, this is with the assumption that you play match2 and match3 with 1 ticket. If you play those with seperate tickets, the expected return would be
Match2: 1.393
Match3: 1
So even seperatly the odds are in your favour on match2, but not on match3.
Keep in mind match2 is scalable (you would make NEARLY guaranteed money by buying every combination (you could only get cucked if the 2nd chance is the same as the original drawing and it doesn't count as 2 wins)) while match3 is not, because you would also have to buy combinations like 333 with a negative expected return, which skews the expected return of 1 into the negative.
If you make mad tendies I want a part of it.
u/dan_gerous9 please reply ;) . Match3 seems like it was very well designed by the game maker, because the player doesn't have an edge but he might think he does. Match2 is relatively easy to beat so either it can't go tits up for the smart man or you got the conditions of the bet wrong or I miscalculated (don't think so, though)
## Speaker_1: ##
Both bets are independent of each other. A bet on Match 3 won’t pay for matching only two.
The Match 2 bet gives you two chances to win, but you can only win once. There are 100 possible outcomes for each chance (0-9).
And these aren’t “tickets” per se. You can put as much money as you want on any bet. So Match 2 can be scaled.
Tendies are for the taking. Sharing is caring
## Speaker_0: ##
Great. Then go for match2 bet on all 100 combinations, 1k each. =100k bet, you have a 99% chance of getting 140k back (2 wins, +40%) and a 1% chance of getting 70k back (1 win, -30%). Get rich and paypal me tendies. Just 1k USD tendies is all I humbly ask for. That's what Iam down on SPY puts. That's all I need to feel whole again. Thx
## Speaker_1: ##
And just one more thing. The match 2 numbers can conceivably be identical. In other words, the first drawing could be 1,2 and the second drawing could be 1,2 as well. You can only win once.
What would the expected return be in this scenario?
## Speaker_0: ##
Yea. That's the 1% chsnce where you lose 30% if you bet on all numbers. But there's a 99% chsnce of gaining 40% so that's still the play (expected return is like +39.3% or smth in total on match2)
## Speaker_1: ##
Perfect. It literally can’t go tits up.
## Speaker_0: ##
When can you play?
## Speaker_1: ##
The 1st and 16th of every month
## Speaker_0: ##
Ok you can make a litle less than 40% every 2 weeks on avg. I would advise you to buy half of the match2 tickets (0-49 or all even numbers) and your gf to buy the other half. That way it's less suspicious
## Speaker_2: ##
There’s going to be multiple winners splitting the prize. OP can’t make money buying every ticket if he splits the winnings
## Speaker_1: ##
You don’t split it with anyone. It’s not like a Powerball jackpot, you either win or you don’t. And if I bet every combo, I win 99% of the time. Or so I think, I gotta make sure my assumptions are spot on before I start pulling out what’s left of my Robinhood cheddar cheese

This thread is obviously 95% shit advice/jokes but if you seriously want to invest that money wisely to increase your net worth, put it toward some courses to get a better job. Check out your local colleges for some classes in business admin, project management, web design, etc.. Something interesting that's employable in your local area.
If you truly want to stick it to her and make her regret it, NOT flying off the handle and wasting it on hookers and blow will be the best strategy. Using the breakup to motivate you in a more successful direction is what you should do. And as your net worth increases through a better job, so will the quality of the women you attract.
I know it sucks getting dumped, especially in the way shit went down. But these feelings will pass. To be honest it sounds like you dodged a bullet so fuck her. Not letting her influence your decisions is the best way to move on. Good luck faggit.

Hey sorry if I misunderstood but how does shorting a stock cause it to go higher?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Its not the short, its the cover. Those groups that are short $TSLA will find that as the price rises, it hits their stop/risk tolerance/margin limit etc. And they have to buy to cover. This is a buy like any buy, and it drives the price up, esp. When its a large cover like an institutional blok then it makes a pop. Meanwhile ~~gamblers~~ investors see that pop and want a piece, so they buy. This causes a positive feedback cycle, rinse and repeat.

That's rookie shit. You go to a Simon brand mall and buy $500 gift cards at 3.95 a piece, take them to Walmart and get $1000 money orders for $0.70 a piece, and then deposit them into your bank account.

When I first started investing I carried The Little Book of Common Sense Investing around like it was the book of Mormon and followed all the reasonable guidelines it set forth. But investing in index funds was just soooo fucking boooring. There was nothing to look forward to, just little baby steps further into financial stability each day. After I got into options everything changed. There is something to look forward to now. There are things to fear now. The cold sweats I've been waking up in recently remind me that I am alive. I would take colossal, life altering losses over boring index funds any day of the week .

## Speaker_3: ##
Implication being it should be illegal to release unflattering media about political candidates?
## Speaker_4: ##
No, the implication is releasing something political in the last 60 days before an election doesn't always give the opponent time to counter it, even if it's some crazy ass bullshit, something that is known as electioneering. This used to be illegal before the Citizens United decision made it legal. All the bullshit you hear about Citizens United is bullshit, because people hear something that sounds good to them but isn't true and they repeat it over and over till all the morons believe it's true because nobody bothered to look it up.
By the way, the Trump campaign and other right wing financiers ran a HUGE media blitz on facebook in battleground states RIGHT before the election about shit like "Podesta emails prove child sex ring!" and other blatantly untrue shit that is literally the definition of electioneering. Many are starting to realize this is why they won, they took an old Republican playbook move(Bush senior primaried McCain in 2000, right before the primary many battleground states got all sorts of strange robocalls and ads about how McCain fathered a black baby out of wedlock) and used it to take the presidency.
It's painfully obvious to anyone paying attention.
## Speaker_3: ##
That's a really good point.
So yeah, we ban speech that may be unflattering if we feel the candidate may not have enough time to respond to it.
Great idea.
## Speaker_5: ##
Well, it's pretty much libel and slander which isn't just not protected by the first amendment, but downright illegal, so yea...we banned it.
Well...HAD banned it.
## Walls1337bot: ##

Hey newfag here , what platforms do u guys use to trade options , calls, puts ? What’s the advantage of trading options over normal stocks?
## Speaker_1: ##
I've learnt a lot lurking here. There's quite a few people here giving out decent advice.
So I'll have a go.
Options are a high risk high return kind of investment where you have a limited time (a day or week, I guess) to make or lose money. You also get to borrow a certain amount (leverage?) so you can take bigger risks for higher rewards.
Shares you can buy and sell as you please. No time limit. You invest what you have.
This is the basic idea of what you asked.
I'm sure someone else can explain better.
Welcome to the fag world.
## Speaker_2: ##
>a day or a week
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.
## Speaker_1: ##
Lmao I wasn't joking. I'm still learning. What's wrong with that statement?
## Walls1337bot: ##
you can buy/sell options at a variety of different expiry dates, not just the day before they expire or just weeklies. Lots of people on here play weeklies or try to buy/sell options days before earnings and try to cash in on short term swings. You can buy/sell options that expire 2 weeks from now, 3 weeks, 2 months, 1 year and so on.

What the fuck is this company...
By extension what is Softbank nowadays.
## Speaker_1: ##
This is one of a handful of companies I only know about because they can somehow afford ad space on every podcast and before every tech youtube video in the world, yet I've never seen nor heard of them or their services in the wild.
## Speaker_2: ##
I can't walk 2 blocks in Chicago without seeing WeWork office space.
## Speaker_1: ##
Go there with a cart full of umbrellas and destroy the company from within.

Vice went from being a reliable alternative news source to BuzzFeed autistic step brother. Short VICE
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah right around the time the founder decided he was a white supremacist it kind of went down hill. Fuck vice
## Speaker_2: ##
Western Chauvinist does not mean white supremacist, despite what your professor has been telling you. Go trade $IQ if you disagree.

Musk and the next four largest stockholders hold about 40% of all shares. I don't think Musk cares either way. He cares about long term, not short. But of course wall street only cares about this week/month/quarter. And we all know companies can grow forever even with finite resources..
## Speaker_1: ##
I think a particular reason Wall Street cares about this quarter is that Tesla is not cash flow positive and 100% of those shares go to 0 if they can't continue to borrow or further dilute shares
The thing about "short term Wall Street" is that companies do, like, need money in the short term
## Speaker_2: ##
Stocks don't have value based on how the company is doing. Stocks have value based on how much someone is willing to pay for them. As long as the Elongated Muskrat Preservation Project is still around, there will still be tons of people opening their mouths and anuses to be filled with Muskrat cum. Those are the people who give the stock its value, and even if TSLA runs out of money, those people will still exist.
Edit: I thought people knew how to take a joke in this sub? Apparently they're all too retarded for even that....
## Speaker_3: ##
"even if TSLA runs out of money". No, if TSLA runs out of money their credit rating goes to shit, Elon gets margin called by his bank, and production comes to a grinding halt.
The best case scenario if they run out of cash is another offering of stock \(dilution\), or getting acquired by someone. The worst case is they declare bankruptcy.
## Walls1337bot: ##
[Moody's downgraded Tesla's credit ratings a month ago,](https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-downgrades-Teslas-corporate-family-rating-to-B3-senior-notes--PR_381481) Caa1 is literally shit, but the good news is Tesla is really good at halting production. Their experience in not building cars might pay off.

Congrats on becoming a mod
## Speaker_1: ##
I thought the threshold for mod here was negative a milly.
## Speaker_2: ##
His account was worth between 1 and 1.5M several times throughout the year
## Speaker_3: ##
and 2M a month ago. Jesus
## Speaker_4: ##
Are you really that retarded? That was about a year ago, it's a graph over the year.
No wonder you're in here.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Also I think it was at the 1.5 mil point, not 2 mil

Nice 28% ! 30 years more of that return and you might have enough to buy a house at the age of 80!
## Speaker_1: ##
I know right, assuming you only had 10k, you'd only have 16.5 million after 30 years after 28% ROI. Can't afford shit with that chump change

Pretty sure it's only 10mill or so but whatever

He probably was probably trying to merge, and with the probability of it happening these numbers would be somewhat correct. kek

yeah honestly he wasn't even fudging his % return by triple digits which is pretty weak by WSB standards

If they're going after Shkreli, then they need to hit Goldman Sachs, he's nowhere near the level of f*ckery of those motherf*ckers
## Speaker_2: ##
Lol, back in the day when Goldman Sachs was under a little pressure they just moved one of their upper level suits into the white house to manage the department which was putting pressure on them. Their fuckery is on an level so far above mortals that I'm shocked no one has built a church around them.

.01% in a nutshell
"Oh I'm going to lose money? Better change the rules so I don't"
On one hand, that is the system we have, on the other hand, it's completely bullshit.
## Speaker_4: ##
Changing the rules is available to everyone, not just the top 0.01%
You're free to move location, change your mind and anything else to suit what you want to achieve. The top performers in the world have just figured out that's how you win, and not by doing what everyone else does. A good book on this is "how to live free in an unfree world".
Or, maybe, it's better to think that there really aren't any rules in the first place.
Either way, most people will just sit on Facebook and complain about things rather than think or do anything outside the box.
## Speaker_3: ##
You say that, but we really cant simply because we cant afford the tools that are available. I cant afford to lobby congress to get favorable laws, i just dont have enough money on hand.
## Speaker_4: ##
Of course, but in all probability you personally don't need to lobby congress for whatever it is you're doing. They're changing the rules that affect them, you change the rules that affect you.
For example, if you work Tuesday-Saturday and have your weekend Sunday-Monday then you can go to the movies on Monday when it's both emptier and cheaper. A slight change of the rules, available to practically everyone which will give you more money and a better life experience for no cost.
Change your assumptions, and you can achieve whatever you want, whether it's cheaper movie viewing or lobbying congress.
## Speaker_5: ##
What the fuck does paying half price for a movie ticket have to do with lobbying Congress
## Walls1337bot: ##
Step one: cheaper Wonder woman screenings.
Step two: invest money saved
Step three: relax on yacht purchased with earnings

Good luck and god speed. Investors lost 4b last year shorting nvda. Smart people just hold nvda for Ye long term and enjoy the profits while everyone else stays salty that they missed the train.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I made 800k on NVDA calls last week so I think I'll be okay.
## Speaker_1: ##
800k < 4B
## Walls1337bot: ##
800k is for 1 investor whereas the 4B is an aggregate number.
## Speaker_1: ##
I know, my point is you're not invincible cause you made x amount of money last week
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm not gonna put 1 mil on the trade....probably put 100-200k on put options depending on the momentum in the morning. NVDA is swinging large dollar amounts in one direction or the other each day and it's basically printing money right now. Of course it only works till it doesn't and there's always gonna be risk.
