About Moderation (old original thread)

I think Missile Dog started a site where he registered as Clovis Eight and used his avatar but I think that’s been defunct for a long time now. That’s the only one I know of.

I have some standards, and those include not sniffing around unsuspecting targets waiting for them to fat finger a price so I can steal from them.

You however…

Online poker players throwing stones at the crypto bros is amazing stuff. As if you weren’t all trying to get position on the drunk fish back on Pokerstars.

It’s also how shit works in real life too? If you go to a store and they have an item listed for a sale price, they’re supposed to honor that!

I’m also trying to remember if they’re mad because crypto/nfts have no value or because people accidentally list things for lower than their value and goofy gets all the good deals.

“BE KIND”

Jalfrezi not understanding crypto at all reminded me how he thought Tesla autopilot was dangerous enough to require all of them to be taken off the road because someone figured out you defeat the driver detecting system if you strapped weighted chains to the steering wheel.

Some olds have some issues with technology I fear.

Bum hunting didn’t appeal to me once I couldn’t win at a decent rate any more and I cashed out and quit and got into sports betting.

But I’ll hazard a guess that someone called Trolly who’s known for trolling isn’t worth having this convo with.

Oh so it was ok as long as you didn’t look for specific bad players and instead only played when there were bad players generally?

Interesting to see how your moral analysis always comes up jalfrezi.

Specialist in nothing but competent at fixing ingrowing toenails ikestoys not even aware I was a BI Dev for >20 years.

Fixing ingrown toenails sounds way more impressive, tbqh.

Ha I wish. There’s a whole other specialty for that! They don’t even go to medical school!

Man if you’re going to try to insult me professionally it’s best not to show your ass while you do it.

edit: btw I can do this, and it’s a little more complicated than you’d think. You need to create a ring of lidocaine around the base of the toe, because people generally don’t tolerate you ripping their nail out.

Then (a little gross):

You take some sort of scissors, at least that’s what I like to do, and cut down the side of the nail. Make sure to leave some exposed nail, because you’ll need it. Take a hemostat, lock it into place on the exposed nail of the ingrown nail, and provide a firm, slowly escalating pressure. It comes out eventually, but it may need a little force.

Boringly normal - fine with me. A lot of people would feel uncomfortable profiteering as your bot does. I know you find it hard to understand that, being brainwashed into slavish devotion to the dollar and all that goes with that.

Bum hunting an entire table of bad players: morally awesome!

Bum hunting one bad player: morally repugnant!

And I’m sure he has consistent views on the morality of taking advantage of NFT misclicks as he did on taking advantage of someone’s fat finger mistakes with poker misclicks, because he is nothing if not consistent!

So you don’t shop around for lines? If a line is mispriced you wouldn’t bet it because of your morality?

It’s funny the sports betting thread is all about finding mispriced lines between sites and arb opportunities for small profits, whereas the NFT lucky snipes is like .1% of that thread.

I’ve been giving more leeway to argue in About Moderation since this is a basically a thread for arguing, but it’s time to knock off the personal attacks that seem to have nothing to do with moderation,

If you are a professional sports bettor, your profession exists because whales are willing to dump millions of dollars into that industry year after year. Same as poker. Same with NFTs.

Maybe I used the wrong term? Bum isn’t a word used here. Looking for the softest tables is not the same as hunting around for the most drunk person in the hope they’ll hit All IN by accident, which is the analogy with goofy’s derp bot which might as well be following drunks around on the street and collecting the money that falls from their pockets.

But I guess that’s probably going to sail past the morality test of someone whose idea of making a living was deliberately exploiting Chinese labour.

Obviously. Bookies don’t compile their odds drunk or incapable, and it’s a game of skill, a battle of opinions.
