mike_c: another:
they aren't used
to betting on games parimutuel style
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but
that's
the same bitcents
they do here
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla do me a favour, calculat ethe sum pool over
the sports bets past 365 days
mircea_popescu: the way I figure it, if
the wc set fails
to attract 500 btc
total pool, we'll just ditch sports as a category and mostly reject all proposed sports bet without zeroconf
kakobrekla: but it helps
to keep
that part separated from
the good part
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla definitely sports don't merit
their own category im
thinking.
mircea_popescu: well guess what! in
the past year
there's exactly one sports bet
that went over 5. you know which ?
mike_c: well,
that's not quite
true. you do keep one of
the house bets.

mircea_popescu: im prettysure
they were doing plenty of seo whatever back
then
benkay: <mike_c> sport bets do fine on bitbet (see nba finals bets). soccer on
the other hand.. // implying footie's not a sport?
kakobrekla: i
think lots of such people moved
to seo and such
mircea_popescu: maybe in
the meanwhile it died, i dunno. probable, judging by
the fact
that everyone i used
to know back
then is off
the grid.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't even know what
the state of
the industry is anymore. 20 years ago you had
the legitimate folk and
then
the dumb noobs pretending, much like in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: and an affiliate manager is a guy who knows a lot of affiliate marketeers who
trust him.
nubbins`: so
the whole
thing is a bit rose-colored
nubbins`: except for
that one
time in japan, but
that was a long
time ago and also my first sushi experience
mike_c: amazingly, after getting drilled in
the ribs, one of
the frenchies did not immediately give up but played
through!
mike_c: there's a couple frenchies winning
too.
mike_c: an awesome argentine basketball player currently winning
the nba finals.
mircea_popescu: apparently everyone wants
to sit on his ass and derp on reddit about
things, nobody wants
to work anymore
mircea_popescu: obviously also a great
time
to affliate bitbet, but
then again, i couldn't even find an affiliate manager at all
mike_c: you argentines should be watching manu ginobli beat
the crap out of lebron.
mike_c: Bet created: "Much grass will grow while waiting for somebody
to score a goal"
mike_c: sport bets do fine on bitbet (see nba finals bets). soccer on
the other hand..
mircea_popescu: so logically a) if you wonder later why your zeroconf sports bet got rejected by mods,
the reason ios probably here and b) if you want
to see sport bets on bitbet,
this is a bad
time
to sit and watch and a great
time
to get involved.
mircea_popescu: but, let me point out,
this is pretty horrible business for bitbet, per se. and obviously, i'll be using
this data
to inform further decisions on what
to accept.
mircea_popescu: obviously mods wanted
to consult. now, in
the spirit of being in argentina and
these people loving
the wc, i ok'd
the whole bulk
mircea_popescu: Ok so here's a story : BitBet curently has 19 World Cup bets open.
The average bet on
these is .175 (excluding house and mpif), like so .79, .44, 0, .21, .60, .10, .54, .03, 0, 0, .01, 0, .05, .28, .01, .04, 0, .11, .11. Now, on
top of
these,
there's no less
than 30 bets pending approval on WC, pretty much "X country will advance from groups".
chetty: but
to be fair he did say it was heretic version :) and sounds pretty good
chetty: wine is not a usual ingredient of
teriyaki
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> why without
the wine and spice ? //
that's
the way I learnt it
mircea_popescu: oft
times ill just put it
to fire for a few minutes and have it for breakfast
gribble: unbalanced was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 26 weeks, 0 days, 2 hours, 21 minutes, and 53 seconds ago: <unbalanced> Little Bitcoin icon on
the package and everything
mircea_popescu: but anyway, salmon isvery
tolerant. you can eat it raw, you can eat it cooked
to any degree
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu,
the salmon looks really delicious, so far I knew how
to cook a similar dish, without
the wine and spice
though

assbot: Solar Flares Disrupt Communications on Earth, Could Send Shockwave on Friday

mircea_popescu: that is
the fucking point of currency and more generally life on earth. so
that lazier kids get left behind in footbal practice, and
that dumber kids get left behind dating
mircea_popescu: of fucking course a global currency would cause poorer countriesd
to be left behind
