Topic: 1st Annual Super Bowlero Pool (Read 737 times)

Hey friends, 2nd Annual Monero Madness thread is up and ready to suck up your time by researching basketball teams your never gave two shits about until now.

lol @ 50... $50 sure, but it was 100 XRMs my friend.

*sigh* not the only time my panthers have let me down.

Not for crypto, but if trading forex or really anything else from stocks to real estate, I imagine it would be well worth it. I've been reading his blog for years.  I quit for a year or so during the US elections, because WTF.  Just like all other media, it was 4/5 posts and I just don't fucking care.  You can only register so much corruption before it all sounds the same.  Anyway, as I said before, I don't trade, so I get what I need from the free blog.  Try it and tell us how it goes    The fact that everything moves in cycles, often complex cycles within cycles, is not new.  What Armstrong has done is link the cycles of EVERYTHING together, for a more complete picture, finding new cycles along the way.  Its like a big puzzle, and the more pieces you have the easier it is to guess or recreate the picture.

And only two years ago that you paid me 50 XMR for watching the Panthers lose to the broncos I think...

Shelby is still posting. Now under yet another username https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/credme-1542991

Yeah he is certainly smart. I think it's just the self importance and he volume of his posting that reminds me of literal schizophrenics that I've seen in the past and I'm just worried that in this case he is a schizo that is smarter than me so that even if he is a crazy person I can't easily prove him wrong. I ask because I do take a lot of what he says seriously. Always good to get extra opinions.

I like Martin Armstrong's blog and I read it occasionally. Some very interesting stuff there. Do you know the best way to see his data sets? Would subscribing to his Socrates thing be useful?

No problem, I'm just going to have to figure out an easier way to do this same thing for next years super bowl... meh, we'll see.  

But yes, I do intend to run this years second annual Monero Madness... Crazy to think a year has been past since running my first one of these forum based gambling games.  

I'll have a thread up some time relatively soon and will update you guys here, as well as the other threads (MFFL, Monero Madness, etc.)... Last years winner was DrHiggins who won a whopping 14 XMR 

Banned for truth telling.  Not prohibited banned, just wouldn't let them show it in theaters or TV.  Most of the sheep won't go beyond that to see it anyway.

Why's it banned?  I found this not sure if true but downloading movie now.

Smart Mutha fucka's look like Crazy Mutha fucka's to Dumb Mutha Fucka's.

But yeah he can go off the reservation on occasion.


Lol I had just typed this out. Thats what I get for trying to do posts in order!


GREAT FUN AS USUAL GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, 1.959 XMR paid out to explorer:

Congrats explorer, but more importantly, congrats eagles! And thanks phishead for doing all the dirty work. See you guys in March or whenever.

Shelby is a little full of himself, as many intelligent people are, and does a lot of tail chasing.  Sanity is harder to nail down.  Stupid unimaginative people may appear sane, but maybe they are just stupid and unimaginative, hmm?  Crazy people may just be on another wavelength, not necessarily having a short circuit.  I'm certainly not going to point any fingers in the sanity field.  Not until I get out of this I Love Me jacket, anyway 

  One of my favorite quotes ever    :
“The thing about smart mother fuckers is that sometimes, they sound like crazy mother fuckers to stupid mother fuckers...”
-Robert Kirkman

   I haven't paid for any Armstrong products, but his major calls on world/economic/social/political events are astounding,  years or decades ahead, and he sells out his conferences to a very high powered crowd.  I don't trade anything in the legacy system,( just watch what's locked in bleed) so trading calls don't interest me, just the trends and reversals for their prescience.  His understanding of crypto seems cursory, at best despite being a coder and an economist/trader, but there's not much history for him to work from, and he's old.  Worth a dive down the rabbit hole, just to see the depth and breadth of his data sets.  Don't worry, despite the horrible lack of proof reading, he's much easier to read than SM3.

Congratulations explorer and thanks phishead for the work you put in. This was a cool game.

Can anybody tell me if Shelby is insane, like schizophrenic maybe? I spent a lot of time reading his posts a while ago and came out of it feeling like I'd been duped into wasting my time. He writes so much and says so little, it's really frustrating. Also do you have any concrete recommendations you've taken out of Armstrong's research? Are any of his paid products worthwhile?

Thanks!  Yeah, hopefully a lot more players next time.  I hoped the double draw would at least reduce the chance of buying the pot, but I guess my luck is in    I've had a really good weekend, and a couple moneroj is a fine icing on the cake!

Congrats explorer! No idea what my numbers were until now. Oh well. It was pretty fun but we can do better next time, I think.

Ya, Shelby is... Prolific.  Still posting?  I dropped all of the threads I was following due to time constraints, and never picked back up.
  If you have time, Armstrong's life and models are well worth looking at.  Or find the film that was made "The Forecaster".  Banned in USA, of course LOL

I've seen Shelby drop his links about but never really read them Just reading shelby's posts can become a job in itself.

Yep.  Fascinating life he's had.

So explorer won both halves? Pm me address to send wallet to for all winners por favor.

CONGRATS Explorer! Great fun, My Pats and I lost, how did that happen!

PM me what I owe you.

I don't follow this guy, is he being serious?

I have laughed a lot over this.  Thank you, good people, I hereby resolve to watch a football game.  Er, someday.

Curiously, I just read this  https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/products_services/socrates/superbowl-lii-can-a-model-ever-be-created/

Annnnnnndddddd congrats again to explorer!  Good game everyone, I will need to figure out how to make it easier for next year but I like doing these type of pools.  Hope everyone had fun
