GME - is it squoze?
Just stop.... I have seen so much drivel up here today. Fact-less and baseless claims lead to people getting hurt, buildings burning and bag holders left with not only the burn of holding but an animosity because someone fed them some bull shit and they didn't have the mind to actually research. Please just stop. Going to drop in some real shit. We made plays, they made plays. We called numbers, they called numbers. We requested investigations into a rigged system, the rigged system paid off the cops. It's life. Yeah, it sucks. We didn't moon others made a mint because they were here early, we got effed in the A by big money (yet a-fucking-gain) when they killed our power to speak. It's not an entirely non salvageable position, and more importantly, if you like the stock, why be sad? ESports is a legit thing. They are giving out fucking scholarships for this stuff on the real. If GAMESTOP is paying ANY ATTENTION to its SHAREHOLDERS and CUSTOMERS there is a strong potential. Will a squeeze ever happen again on GME? Will a squeeze happen this week? Will a squeeze happen post market trading? NO ONE KNOWS, IT IS NOT PREDICTABLE! Squeezes just fucking happen, like a 30' wave and there you are with a surfboard. If gamestop goes digital delivery, niche market B&M geared towards "gamer passions" (think hot topic or Spencers), if they utilize the fucking power house of CEO class talent, if they look at esports and realize "Hey this isn't a trend guys" then you could be looking at the NFL of ESports that is publicly traded or they buy out your stocks for insane revenue so they can go private and start franchising the "Tennessee-TeaBaggers or the Minnesota-Your Moms liked it". Then they are selling team swag in their brick and mortars or shipping directly to your door while you download whatever this seasons hot game is. I don't think people understand the publicity this has gotten and the long term here. Those people running GME are assholes but they aren't fucking BROKE and they do not want to be BROKE. Everyone wanted to jump on a rocket, grabbed a fin and got burned. Fortunately you got a parachute and yeah it is a slow and steady fall back to the launch platform. You can bitch tits and paper hands now. OR! You can hit that pad again and climb back onto the next rocket being loaded. People praising DFV should take one form his book. DD your own stuff. Wasn't a bad bet, just not paying off right now. You fucking simple APEs and your instant gratification. They say it's a gamble, IT IS NOT. With gambling when you lose, well you lost. With the market you lose, it might bounce back, it might not, maybe you take 1k and turn into almost a goddamn million (Actually happened in GME) who knows. The important thing is. Don't be a sheep, find a good idea, research a good idea, bail when you see good idea is bad idea, and go for bad idea that is good idea. Stop looking for people to give you free money. Side note: when you bet against the system and it fucks you, dig deep into their laws and try and fuck them back. Then when going to the legal system fails, shrug, know your current place on the financial ladder and don't become jaded. That way when you climb that ladder, you remember how it felt, and don't screw the next bunch of apes the way you got screwed.
Breaking down the lives of the former slaves in my family
So i posted about a court case called Gamble vs Rucker yesterday which was about a widow named Clara Rucker who was being sued by her step-daughter Lucinda Gamble because Clara and her children with Lucinda’s father Sam Rucker who was the husband of Clara had inherited Sam’s land but Lucinda and her siblings who were not Clara’s children were not given any land because Clara was considered Sam’s only legal wife since Sam’s previous wife Martha and him were married in slavery it wasn’t considered a legal marriage meaning all of their children were considered out of wedlock. Sam was also the towns “ladies man” and he fathered a bunch of children. I’m the end the land was shared by Clara, Clara and Sam’s children, and Sam and Martha’s children. In this post I will be telling the story of slaves from different plantations who all somehow became connected. Also like my last post with the court case, your probably going to get confused, mainly because the name John Soward was a very common name in Lauderdale and Dyersburg, Tennessee at this time, but I will try and make it easier. So there was a man named John Soward who was a plantation owner. He was born in North Carolina in 1774. John moved to South Carolina where he married a woman named Elizabeth Simerall in the 1790’s. So far two known children came from this marriage, William (born. 1799), and Violet (born. 1803). Elizabeth died while giving birth to Violet in 1803. After the death of his wife Elizabeth, John Soward married a widow named Jane Mellon (I dont know her madien name, Mellon was the last name from her previous marriage). John and Jane Soward had two children, Martha (born. 1808), and James (born. 1809). John was known to own slaves, the ones that can be named are Lucy (Lucy was born in North Carolina in 1800 and most likely came with John to South Carolina), Matthew, and Cynthia. Matthew and Lucy were married in the plantation, most likely forced by John Soward which was common practice in slave marriage which is usually referred to as “jumping the broom”. Matthew and Lucy had two children, Allen (born. 1827), and Stephen (born. 1833). Around the time Stephen was born, John and his family and slaves moved to Lauderdale, Tennessee. John’s slaves Cynthia gave birth to a daughter in Tennessee in 1833, who was named Mary. Mary’s father’s name was unknown, but according to later records, he was a slave from Arkansas (it was common for a slave owner to have their female slave have sex with a male slave from a neighboring plantation to get pregnant. In cases like that the owner of the female slave had full rights to the baby that was born to the female slave). When in Tennessee, John’s daughter Violet Soward married a plantation owner named Labon Jones. John Soward ended up raping Cynthia. Cynthia ended up getting pregnant from the rape, and in 1838 gave birth to a baby girl named who was named Betsy. Betsy and her older half-sister Mary were later given to John Soward’s daughter and son-in-law Labon and Violet Jones. When Betsy became older, Labon Jones raped her, which resulted in the birth’s of two children, Indiana (born. 1856), and Dallas (born. 1863). John Soward purchased two slaves form a man named John Hames Eison. These two claves were named Elvira (born. 1827,in South Carolina) and Priscilla (born.1833 in South Carolina). Elvira had a son named William who was left behind on John Eison’s plantation. William was born in South Carolina in 1845, his father was an unnamed man from South Carolina. John later died in 1850 and his slaves were given to his son James Soward. James Soward had a son named William P Soward who married a woman named Susannah R. Eison. Susannah was the daughter of John Hames Eison. James Soward had his slave Allen, marry his other slave, Elvira, and he also had Allen’s brother Stephen marry Priscella. Allen and Elvira had two sons, John (born. 1860), and Fayett (born. 1861). Stephen and Priscella had two children during slavery, John (born. 1858), and Mary (born. 1861), Stephen also had a son named George who was born in 1856, George’s mother was a slave named Charlotte. James Soward also owned another slave named Sam, who was born on his plantation in 1839. James Soward later sold Sam to a man named J.H Rucker. J.H Rucker who was nicknamed “Spot” had Sam marry his other slave Martha who had a son named Caleb. Caleb’s father was a slave named Henry Palmer. Henry was sold to another owner and his whereabouts were unknown after that. In 1857, Mary, the slave of Labon and Violet Jones, and also the half-sister of Betsy and daughter of Cynthia, gave birth to a daughter named Melissa. All that’s known about Melissa’s father was that he was born in Virginia. Also, William, the slave of John Hames Eison and also the son of Elvira, had a daughter named Clara born in 1861, when William was 15. Clara’s mother is unknown. When slavery ended after the civil war in 1865, things with these slaves because confusing. So Stephen, his wife Priscella, their children, and Stephen’s son George adopted the last name Soward. Allen (who was the brother of Stephen), also adopted the last name Soward. Slaves found out that even though they were married in slavery, after the civil war their marriage wasn’t considered legal. Stephen and Priscella never legalized their marriage but did consider themselves as a married couple, and they would later move to Arkansas where they had a daughter named Lucy (born. 1866), and a son named Henry (born. 1872). Charlotte, the mother of Stephen’s son George Soward, came with them. Charlotte had another son during slavery named Charles (born. 1861), who came with them. Charles father, another former slave named William, also came with them. William had come from the Ferguson plantation, and after slavery he adopted the name William Henry Ferguson. His son Charles, and Charles mother Charlotte also adopted the last name Ferguson, even though Charlotte and William were not legally married. Stephen and Charlotte had a daughter in 1866 who was named Martha, however Charlotte decided she wanted to legalize her married to William, so onAugust 2, 1869, Charlotte and William got married in Phillips County, Arkansas. Sadly, William died shortly after, because in 1870, Charlotte was widowed. Allen Soward never legalized his marriage to Elvira, so Elvira decided to adopt the last name Eison, and so did her son John and Fayett. Allen followed his brother to Arkansas with a woman named Caroline Pitts. It turned out that Allen had three daughters with Caroline during slavery, these daughters were Adaline, Josephine, and Dixie. Allen and Caroline had a fourth daughter right after slavery ended who was named Sylvana. While in Arkansas, Stephen had children with a former slave named Josephine Lockey. They had two sons in Arkansas named Miller, and Sam. Stephen, his wife Priscella, his two baby mama’s Charlotte and Josephine, along with all the children Stephen had and Charlotte’s son Charles, all came back to Tennessee. Allen had died in the late 1870’s. Stephen and Josephine had a daughter named Roberta, after coming back to Tennessee. Elvira Eison and her two sons John and Fayett moved in with Sam Rucker, who had been sold by James Soward to J.H “Spot” Rucker. Sam also had children with other women, I don’t know all of them at this time. Sam’s wife Martha was living nearby with her son Caleb and was living with two other women who Sam had children with. Sam and Martha’s kids were with Sam and Elvira. Elvira’s granddaughter, Clara Eison, daughter of Elvira’s son William Eison, had moved in shortly after the 1880 census. Clara ended up sleeping with Sam and having his children. Elvira and her son John moved out (Fayett had died during this time, exact date is unknown). Clara and Sam later married in 1890 which would later lead up to the Gamble vs Rucker court case. Sam Rucker’s full entire story will be in a different post I make. Elvira son William who was the father of Clara Eison Rucker, went on to marry Melissa Jones in 1874. Melissa Jones I had mentioned earlier was the daughter of Mary Jones (after slavery, Betsy and Mary who were half-sisters adopted the last name Jones, and so did Melissa and Betsy’s children. I will also talk about the Jones family in another post). Now I will be clearing up the confusing with the John Soward’s in Lauderdale and Dyersburg, Tennessee. So Elvira Eison’s son John Eison, ended up adopting the last name Soward, which was the last name that John’s father Allen adopted. The plantation owner, John Soward, had another slave named John, who after slavery took the last name Soward, that slave would later go on to marry Mille Davenport, and have 12 children with her. I will now be referring to Elvira Eison’s son John as “John Eison Soward” so I can clear this up. So John Eison Soward took the last name Soward so he could use that as his name in marriage. The woman he married was Ella Lucas in 1883. Ok hopefully your following along with this John Soward stuff cause it’s about to get more confusing. So I mentioned earlier that Stephen had a son named John with his wife Priscella in 1858 when they were slaves. Well after slavery, Stephen and Priscella’s son John also took the name Soward, so he had the exact same name as his first cousin. So Stephen and Priscella son John Soward married a woman named Anna Branch in 1880. When I was getting help with family research with another Redditor, we mistook the John Soward who married Anna Branch to be my 3x great-grandfather, but actually, John Eison Soward was my 3x great-grandfather. After John Eison Soward married Ella Lucas, they had 6 children, Tennie, Hettie, Jennie, Marshal, Vergin, and Ellis. Ella died, and John Eison Soward went on to marry Mary Benton in 1900 (Mary Benton was my 3xgreat-grandmother). John Eison Soward’s first cousin John Soward, who married Anna Branch, had 3 children with Anna, John Jr, Henry, and Mary. An interesting fact is that even though John Eison Soward and John Soward were 1st cousins, the ancestry DNA match who is the one who did all this research was able to connect their wives, Ella Lucas and Anna Branch. So it turned out that Ella Lucas sister, Sarah Lucas, was married to a man named William McKinney, and they had three children, Cora, Curley, and Winston, making Ella the aunt of Cora, Curley, and Winston. Well it turns out that Anna Branch parents were David and Laurie Branch, Laurie’s maiden name was McKinney, Laurie’s parents were Richard and Mary McKinney. Richard and Mary McKinney were also the parents of William McKinney, Sarah Lucas husband. So this means that while Ella Lucas was Cora, Curley, and Winston maternal aunt, Anna Branch was their paternal cousin. Cora McKinney was married to Dallas Jones, who was the son of Betsy Jones, and Betsy’s owner Labon Jones who had raped her. Curley McKinney married Elnora Eison. Elnora was the daughter of Bird and Lucy Eison, Lucy Eison was the same person as Lucy Soward, the daughter of Stephen and Priscella Soward. Bird Eison, Lucy’s husband, had adopted the last name Eison since he was also owned by John Hames Eison, like Elvira Eison. Curley later murdered his wife Elnora in 1926, and he also murdered one of their daughters, Curley would spend the rest of his life in prison. Curley had also employed a man named Clem Benton, Clem Benton was the half-brother of Mary Benton, as I mentioned, Mary Benton was the second wife of John Eison Soward. This has all been really confusing and I still have many stories to tell that I decided not to put into Jan post since it would be way to long. Feel free to ask questions.
“On Tuesday, Tennessee Education Lottery (TEL) CEO Rebecca Hargrove said it is aiming to launch the state’s sports betting market by 1 November at the latest. This means that Tennessee residents will be able to legally bet on sports during the upcoming football season. Sports betting became legal in Tennessee in May 2019 and since then, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana and New Hampshire all managed to legalise and launch their sports betting markets. Licensing updates During Tuesday’s Sports Wagering Advisory Council meeting, Hargrove revealed that four operators and approximately 20 vendors and suppliers have applied for licenses. The names of the operators were not disclosed; however, media sources say that BetMGM, DraftKings and FanDuel have applied for a license. The fourth company is Tennessee Action 24/7, a local Tennessee company that offers free-to-play games. On Tennessee Action 24/7’s website, a message says that the TEL is “currently processing our Sports Gaming Operator license application.” In its latest quarterly report, MGM resorts revealed that it currently has market access and plans to launch sports betting operations in Tennessee later this year. Online sports betting only Unlike other states with legal betting, Tennessee’s sports betting laws only permit online and mobile sports betting. Tennessee is the only state to legalise online-only sports wagering, which makes it an outlier in the wider US gambling market.” https://www.compare.bet/news/tennessee-sports-betting-to-go-live-on-1-november
40 Best Songs of All Times About Poker, Dice, Cards and Addiction
40. Go Down Gamblin’ - Blood Sweat and Tears
Released in 1971, Go Down Gamblin’ by Blood Sweat and Tears is a song describing a gambler who is “born a natural loser.” He never wins, no matter what game he plays, but, he doesn’t feel like a loser. As the song goes – “Cause I've been called a natural lover by that lady over there, Honey, I'm just a natural gambler but I try to do my share.”
39. Gambler - Madonna
Gambler is a song written and played by Madonna, made for the film Vision Quest. Although the song reached the top 10 in the charts of the UK, Australia, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, and Norway, Madonna performed it only once on her 1985The Virgin Tour. It’s a catchy song, we suggest you play it as you spin the reels of some of your favourite retro online slots.
38. The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
Our list wouldn’t be complete without the 1964 hit song - The House of the Rising Sun by The Animals. Everybody knows the famous lines ”My mother, she was a tailor, sewed these new blue jeans, my father was a gamblin' man way down in New Orleans.” This single had a major success and made it to the top 10 songs on mainstream rock radio stations in the USA. Likewise, the hit was featured in the video game Guitar Hero Live.
37. The Winner Takes It All - ABBA
Whether we admit it or not, we all love at least some songs played by the very well-known Swedish pop group, ABBA. According to some sources, Bjorn Ulvaeus wrote the 1980 hit song The Winner Takes It All which was inspired by his divorce to his fellow band member, Agnetha Fältskog. The winner takes it all is a sort of a comparison to a divorce (especially the part ”I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too, nothing more to say, no more ace to play”), where one of them is the winner and the other one is left with nothing. And things are just the same when it comes to gambling, so we’ve decided to put the song on our list.
36. Shape of my Heart - Sting
We’re all aware of the fact that our gambling behaviour can be influenced by certain types of music and that's because online gambling and music go hand in hand. So, we suggest you start playing your preferred games with one of everyone’s favourite songs by Sting called The Shape of my Heart. It was released in 1993 and used for the end credits of the film Léon. In one of his interviews, Sting explained that the lyrics of the song tell the story of a card player who places bets not in order to win but to figure out something that’s been bothering him - “some kind of scientific, almost religious law.”
35. All I Wanna Do Is Play Cards - Corb Lund
“Well, I guess I really oughta be makin up songs but all I wanna do is play cards. I know it's dumb and sick and wrong but all I wanna do is play cards. Got the studio booked in Tennessee, and my record producer's callin me, the tape will roll in just three weeks and all I wanna do is play cards.” Does it sound familiar? It’s a 2005 hit by Corb Lund called All I Wanna Do Is Play Cards, once you hear it you’ll be playing it on repeat.
34. Gambling Man - The Overtones
When you’re falling in love, it’s perfectly normal to feel like you want to gamble everything just to attract that person’s attention to notice you and love you back. Well, Gambling Man is a lively 2010 song that tells a story of a guy fascinated with his love, so he places all his bets on her, as the song goes - “I played my hand, I rolled the dice, now I'm paying for my sins, I got some bad addiction.” This time, he feels that this love affair is different from any other – “Baby, it's you, yeah, yeah, that's right.” The song was released in 2010 and has been popular ever since.
33. Poker Face - Lady Gaga
Although the Poker Face song is more about the game of romance rather than the game of poker, the catchy refrain that starts with “Can't read my, no he can't read my poker face” kinda reminds us of winning at the tables, so we couldn’t skip it this time. Released in 2008, the song achieved worldwide success, topping the charts in the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada and several European countries.
32. Little Queen of Spades - Robert Johnson
Moving on to the Little Queen of Spades, a song title by the American blues musician Robert Johnson who recorded the song in 1937 and first released it in 1938. The first version of this gambling-themed song has a playing time of 2:11, whereas the second one lasts 4s longer (2:15), and is considered an alternate take and first appeared on Johnson's album The Complete Recordings, in 1990.
31. Train of Consequences - Megadeth
Another great song Train of Consequences is the title created by Megadeth, released as the first single from their sixth studio album Youthanasia in 1994. The song was later included on their compilation albums and its music video was the 26th most played video on MTV. There’s this part of the song “No horse ever ran as fast as the money that you bet, I'm blowing on my cards and I play them to my chest” – which is about a person’s gambling problem, who realises something’s wrong with this lifestyle, but it still hunts him down. Could be just the thrill, but he just can’t stop playing.
30. Gambler - Whitesnake
Released on the album Slide It In (1984) and appearing on the compilation album Gold (2006), Gambler is the song by the British hard rock band Whitesnake. These words may sound familiar - “No fame or fortune, no luck of the draw, when I dance with the Queen of Hearts, a jack of all trades, a loser in love, it's tearing my soul apart”. And in case you’ve never heard it, we think you should give it a shot, the chances are you’re going to love it!
29. Gambling Man - Woody Guthrie
Now here’s one single from 1957 - Gamblin' Man. The song was taped live at the London Palladium and published as a double A side, with Puttin' On the Style. Reaching #1 in the UK Singles Chart in the summer 1957, it was “the last UK number 1 to be released on 78 rpm format only, as 7' vinyl had become the norm by this time.” Written by Woody Guthrie and Donegan, this gambling themed song was produced by Alan Freeman and Michael Barclay.
28. Roll of the Dice - Bruce Springsteen
According to Songfacts, Roll of the Dice was the first Springsteen’s song he didn’t write by himself. In fact, E Street Band’s pianist Roy Bittan helped with the music, while Springsteen was in charge of the lyrics, starting with – “Well I've been a losin' gambler, just throwin' snake eyes, Love ain't got me downhearted. I know up around the corner lies, My fool's paradise in just another roll of the dice.” After he broke up the E Street Band in October 1989, Springsteen wrote lyrics for the Roll of the Dice (with two other songs) and liked them to the point where he began writing and recording more songs.
27. Queen of Diamonds - Tom Odell
Here’s one song about a gambling fanatic who’s trying to satisfy his own addiction but also someone else, hoping it’s going to save him. Released in 2018, Queen of Diamonds is Tom Odell’s song from the album Jubilee Road, based on the local characters that inspired this British songwriter to include the whisky-soaked gamblers who regularly visited one betting shop.
26. The Angel and the Gambler - Iron Maiden
Now, this song may divide Iron Maiden fans and it’s most probably because of its repetitive lyrics that can be a bit annoying. The release we’re talking about is The Angel and the Gambler. Truth be told, the melody in general is very catchy and, even a bit similar to The Who in some moments. As the song was released in 1998 while Blaze Bayley was its frontmen, it’s missing the well-known high-pitch vocals from Bruce Dickinson.
25. Ramblin' Gamblin Man - Bob Seger
We’re moving on to a rock single from 1978 - Ramblin' Gamblin Man by Bob Seger. The author meets an old acquaintance, a professional gambler who happens to be a swagger. As such, he attracts people’s attention whenever he bets. Putting so much of his faith in the cards (rather than in people), he walks away every time, just before avoiding loss. Along the way, the narrator realises that, if you scratch beneath the surface, you’ll find he’s a very cynical man, who will never change. Another gambling-themed song worth mentioning by Bob Seger is Still The Same.
24. Blow Up The Pokies - The Whitlams
Blow up the Pokies is the next song on our list, played by The Whitlams. It is the second single by the group from their 4th studio album, Love This City. Released in the year 2000, the song became a hit and made it to number 21 on the ARIA Singles Chart. According to several resources, the lyrics written by singer Tim Freedman were inspired by the destruction he saw in original Whitlams bassist Andy Lewis's life, due to his gambling addiction.
23. A Good Run of Bad Luck - Clint Black
Now here’s one 1994-song packed with gambling-related terms. As you listen to A Good Run of Bad Luck, recorded by American music artist Clint Black, you'll have a bit of fun as you try identifying what all these gambling terms mean. The song is a bit fast and is about falling in love by using gambling metaphors. The main character is willing to spend a lot of money to win his special lady over and, although he has had a period of bad luck, he is not giving up – “I've been to the table, and I've lost it all before, I'm willin' and able, always comin' back for more.”
22. When You’re Hot, You’re Hot - Jerry Reed
Jerry Reed won a Grammy for the song When You’re Hot, You’re Hot which was released in 1971. Most people remember it as it was a major hit, ranked as number 1 in the country charts, also making its way up the Pop Top 40. It’s an enjoyable novelty song about the ups and downs of the gambling life, about one’s winning streak caught in an illegal game of Crap. Country star Jerry Reed also came up with a version The Uptown Poker Club in 1973.
21. Lawyers, Guns and Money - Warren Zevon
Next one up - Lawyers, Guns and Money is a song by Warren Zevon, the closing track on his album Excitable Boy, released in 1978. An edited version of this song was distributed as a single and found itself on the A Quiet Normal Life best of compilation on the CD and LP. The song goes like this - “I went home with a waitress the way I always do, how was I to know she was with the russians, too? I was gambling in Havana, I took a little risk Send lawyers, guns, and money Dad, get me out of this, hiyah!”
20. The Lottery Song - Harry Nilsson
According to the man in the 1972 pop-rock song The Lottery Song by Harry Nilsson, there's more than one way to get to Vegas. Addressing his lover, the narrator mentions a few different options for buying a ticket and going to Sin City – “We could win the lottery we could go to Vegas,” and “We could wait till summer, we could save our money” as well as “We could make a record, sell a lot of copies, we could play Las Vegas.”
19. Casino Queen - Wilco
Now here’s one black-humoured gambling-themed song, released in 1995 and titled after a casino. Featuring a dirty electric guitar, Casino Queen was composed by an American songwriter, Jeff Tweedy, who wrote this song after playing a game in a riverboat casino accompanied by his dad. Inspired by the event, the author wrote: “Casino Queen my lord you're mean, I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green.”
18. Have a Lucky Day - Morphine
Another song on our list that you simply must check out starts like this: “I feel lucky, I just feel that way, I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today. Now I'm sitting at a blackjack table and swear to God the dealer has a tag says, "Mabel." Hit me, hit me! I smile at Mabel, soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to the table.” Check it out yourself - it’s called Have a Lucky Day by Morphine.
17. Kentucky Gambler - Merle Haggard
Written by Dolly Parton and released in 1974, Merle Haggard’s Kentucky Gambler is another song on our ultimate gambling playlist that you should pay attention to. It’s about a miner from Kentucky who leaves his family to gamble, under the bright lights of Reno. Unsurprisingly, his winning streak comes to an end, and he loses all his winnings. All broke, he decided to return back home only when he arrived, he found out his wife was involved with someone else.
16. The Jack - AC/DC
The next song on our list will give you some adrenaline boost, for sure. It goes like this - “She gave me the queen, she gave me the king, she was wheelin' and dealin', just doin' her thing, she was holdin' a pair, but I had to try…” Sounds familiar? This song from the 1975s is called The Jack and is played by AC/DC and there’s no way you can skip it.
15. Blackjack - Ray Charles
Moving on to something a bit different - a melody that blackjack lovers can listen to as they play is Ray Charles’ Blackjack. Apart from being a good quality song from 1955, it carries an important message with an emphasis on how brutal the game of blackjack can be. Some sources say that Ray Charles wrote it after beating T-Bone Walker at a blackjack game session. Yet another Ray Charles’ famous song about gambling is called a Losing Hand.
14. Ooh Las Vegas - Gram Parson
“Ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me”... is a song-into for Ooh Las Vegas which was written by Gram Parsons and Ric Grech. It was first released by Gram Parsons with Emmylou Harris in 1974. Playing this song would be perfect for the beginning of the road trip (i.e. to Las Vegas), especially if you have the energy to sing along.
13. The Stranger - Leonard Cohen
Published in 1968 and performed by Leonard Cohen, The Stranger appears in the The Ernie Game movie about a man released from a mental asylum. More appropriately, it is the perfect opening song in the 1971 Western McCabe & Mrs Miller, in which Warren Beatty plays a gambler. As you listen to this song (without watching the movie), it makes you see fascinating images of card games, smoky dreams, and concepts of risk versus safety.
12. Desperado - Eagles
Written by Glen Frey and Don Henley, Desperado song is one of The Eagles’ greatest hits from their 1973 album of the same name. The song features a classic tune while the ballad tells the story of a lone wolf imprisoned by his loneliness. As for the lyrics, they have loads of card references mentioning the queen of diamonds, the queen of hearts, and so on.
11. Huck's Tune - Bob Dylan
The next song on our list is about the risks of poker, money, and relationships, which are precisely what the movie Lucky You is all about. Does it ring a bell? That’s right, this 2007 song is called Huck’s Tune and is performed by Bob Dylan. Each of us can all relate to lines "You push it all in, and you've no chance to win, you play 'em on down to the end." Play the song and you’ll enjoy more than 4 amazing minutes of Bob Dylan. Likewise, Bob Dylan recorded Rambling, Gambling Willie and Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts, both excellent and both inspired by gambling.
10. Four Little Diamonds - Electric Light Orchestra
A song by the British rock band Electric Light Orchestra Four Little Diamonds was released in 1983 and found itself on the album Secret Messages. The single wasn’t so popular in the US, being only 2 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, at number 86, and number 84 in the UK. This song refers to the singer’s cheating lover who tricked him out of a ring which had 'four little diamonds' on it.
9. You Can't Beat The House - Mark Knopfler
Moving on to our next choice for the day, You Can’t Beat the House. It’s the third song on the Get Lucky studio album released in 2009 by British singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler. The album and the songs received favorable reviews with the album reaching the top three positions on album charts in Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland. The singer’s divine voice combined with beautiful music and lyrics goes like this – “You can't bear the house, you can't bear the house, tell the man somebody, you can't beat the house.”
8. Deck of Cards - Don Williams
Deck of Cards is a recitation song that tells the story of a soldier who gets caught while playing cards in church and then faces a sentence from a superior officer. The soldier defends his case, explaining he wasn't about to deal a hand of poker, but was rather confirming his faith with the cards. Performed by T. Texas Tyler, the song managed to become a major hit in the 1940s and 1950s. Also, Wink Martindale had an even bigger hit with his 1959 cover, with a successful version by Don Williams featuring Tex Ritter and Buddy Cole.
7. Gambler’s Blues - B.B. King
First recording of the song Gambler’s Blues by B.B. King was in 1966, and it was released in 1967. The song appears on the album Back in the Alley (1970). Some say gambling and blues go hand in hand, so if you (gambling fans) haven’t heard it, listen and see for yourself.
6. Tumbling Dice - Rolling Stones
One of our favourite songs on the list is Tumbling Dice, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It tells the story of a gambler who can’t remain faithful to any woman. Being released in the 1970s and featuring a blues boogie-woogie rhythm, the song was and still is one of the greatest singles of all time. Rolling Stones also recorded Casino Boogie, and it’s from their 1972 album, Exile on Main St.
5. Luck Be A Lady - Frank Sinatra
The next song on our list is about a gambler who hopes that he will win a bet, the outcome of which will decide whether he is able to save his relationship with the girl of his dreams. You probably know what song we’re talking about; it’s called Luck be a Lady released in 1965 and performed by one of the most popular musical artists - Frank Sinatra.
4. Deal - Grateful Dead
Next one up is the song Deal. It was first performed by the Grateful Dead in 1971, as a regular part of the repertoire through their 1970's tour. Although being less common to the fans during the 1990s, the band continued to perform it. The singer opens with the message: “Since it cost a lot to win and even more to lose you and me bound to spend some time wondering what to choose,” that later kicks off with a chorus: “Don't let your deal go down...” Loser is another song first performed by the Grateful Dead in 1971 as well, heavily played during 1971 and 1972.
3. Ace of Spades - Motörhead
Ok, the next song is loaded with some great gambling verses like "The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say, I don't share your greed, the only card I need is the Ace of Spades" will definitely set you in the right mood for hitting some winning combinations. Released in 1980, the song was inspired by slot machines that the lead singer Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister played in London pubs.
2. Viva Las Vegas - Elvis
As soon as you start playing the second song from our playlist “Viva Las Vegas,” you’ll probably picture a huge casino and a great gaming atmosphere. Performed by the legendary Elvis Presley, the 1964-released song brings the glamour of the city, and its beat will get you in the mood for some serious gameplay. This song was written for the movie of the same name starring Elvis Presley, in which he plays a race car driver waiting tables at a hotel to pay off a debt. There’s this famous scene when he performs this song at the talent competition alongside many showgirls.
1. The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
Performed by the legendary country singer Kenny Rogers, The Gambler song is our number 1 - it's full of some betting advice that are relevant today, even though it was released more than 40 years ago, in 1978. Here’s how it goes… “If you're gonna play the game, boy you gotta learn to play it right, you've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.” These classic chorus lines were told from the first-person perspective inspired by a conversation the author had with an experienced poker player on a train. Written in the form of poker metaphors, Schlitz wrote the tune in honor of his late father. Johnny Cash is also among other musicians who recorded The Gambler in 1978, on Gone Girl.
“On Tuesday, Tennessee Education Lottery (TEL) CEO Rebecca Hargrove said it is aiming to launch the state’s sports betting market by 1 November at the latest. This means that Tennessee residents will be able to legally bet on sports during the upcoming football season. Sports betting became legal in Tennessee in May 2019 and since then, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana and New Hampshire all managed to legalise and launch their sports betting markets. Licensing updates During Tuesday’s Sports Wagering Advisory Council meeting, Hargrove revealed that four operators and approximately 20 vendors and suppliers have applied for licenses. The names of the operators were not disclosed; however, media sources say that BetMGM, DraftKings and FanDuel have applied for a license. The fourth company is Tennessee Action 24/7, a local Tennessee company that offers free-to-play games. On Tennessee Action 24/7’s website, a message says that the TEL is “currently processing our Sports Gaming Operator license application.” In its latest quarterly report, MGM resorts revealed that it currently has market access and plans to launch sports betting operations in Tennessee later this year. Online sports betting only Unlike other states with legal betting, Tennessee’s sports betting laws only permit online and mobile sports betting. Tennessee is the only state to legalise online-only sports wagering, which makes it an outlier in the wider US gambling market.” https://www.compare.bet/news/tennessee-sports-betting-to-go-live-on-1-november
Can you really make a living from wagering on Sports by The Outlaw Micheal Tomsik
Second book I wrote in 2018:
Book #2 Can You Make A Living Wagering on Sports by The Outlaw Micheal Tomsik
CLICK HERE TO LINK TO AMAZON KINDLE PAGE:I decided today to overlook both of my books on Kindle on Amazon about Sports Wagering.In really started the whole Sports Gambling Business in 2015.I operated a 1 year experiment I called the Outlaw Sports Betting Experiment. I did this because Nevada was going towards allowing Sports Investment Companies and I had decided that I was going to own and operate this type of business and company.In 2016 I got licensed and was the first company in Reno Nevada to place wagers at sports books with investors.Today in 2020 the whole sports industry has been turned inside out and upside down with the Covid19 outbreak, lockdowns, sports halting for months, no fans in the stands, playing in what is called bubbles, changing playoff structures, and overall all the different changes created for the Covid19 outbreak.Also another change Sports Wagering use to only be legal in Nevada, but as of 2020 government deemed to allow States to open Sports Wagering legally.States that are already allowing Sports Wagering : Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire.States that will most likely open later in 2020: Virgina, North Carolina, TennesseeIt is predicted that 33 out of 50 States will have legal sports betting with in the next year or so.According to research Sports Wagering is a billion dollar business so it is not a real surprise that it is opening up and expanding across the Nation.In 2017 the casinos reported 41.68 billion dollars in revenues from sports wagering.According to research 95 billion dollars was placed on the NFL and College Football, and overall 150 billion dollars was wagered on sports overall.You would believe the NFL would top the sports wagering industry but actually horse racing tops out at number one with the Kentucky Derby followed by Soccer and the NFL Super Bowl Game.The truth is the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB leagues fought sports gambling till just recently with law changes.Sports wagering is expected to be near 8 billion dollars by 2025.Though most people this is more for entertainment reason I still believe that Sports Wagering can be a full time career, business.However reading my books may give you some learning curves, there are many sports pick companies, and other companies that change money for giving picks.I never used any of these I developed my own system tested it and it worked.I only got out due to some reasons I stayed in my book because I had investors, and still answered to people.I believe I could be the first self employed gambling company in the world so I am considering a come back of :OUTLAW SPORTS BETTING COMPANY!
/r/neoliberal elects the American Presidents - Part 9, Adams v Jackson in 1828
Previous editions: (All strawpoll results counted as of the next post made) Part 1, Adams v Jefferson in 1796 - Adams wins with 68% of the vote Part 2, Adams v Jefferson in 1800 - Jefferson wins with 58% of the vote Part 3, Jefferson v Pinckney in 1804 - Jefferson wins with 57% of the vote Part 4, Madison v Pinckney (with George Clinton protest) in 1808 - Pinckney wins with 45% of the vote Part 5, Madison v (DeWitt) Clinton in 1812 - Clinton wins with 80% of the vote Part 6, Monroe v King in 1816 - Monroe wins with 51% of the vote Part 7, Monroe and an Era of Meta Feelings in 1820 - Monroe wins with 100% of the vote Part 8, Democratic-Republican Thunderdome in 1824 - Adams wins with 55% of the vote Welcome back to the ninth edition of /neoliberal elects the American presidents! This will be a fairly consistent weekly thing - every week, a new election, until we run out. Some weekends may be skipped due to RL time conflicts. I highly encourage you - at least in terms of the vote you cast - to try to think from the perspective of the year the election was held, without knowing the future or how the next administration would go. I'm not going to be trying to enforce that, but feel free to remind fellow commenters of this distinction. If you're really feeling hardcore, feel free to even speak in the present tense as if the election is truly upcoming! Whether third and fourth candidates are considered "major" enough to include in the strawpoll will be largely at my discretion and depend on things like whether they were actually intending to run for President, and whether they wound up actually pulling in a meaningful amount of the popular vote and even electoral votes. While I will always give some brief background info to spur the discussion, please don't hesitate to bring your own research and knowledge into the mix! John Quincy Adams versus Andrew Jackson, 1828 Profiles
Andrew Jackson is the 61-year-old former Senator from Tennessee and leader of the newly formed faction known as the "Democrats," and his running mate is incumbent Vice President John Calhoun.
Issues
This year, President Adams signed the Tariff of 1828, popularly referred to as the "Tariff of Abominations" by its detractors. It has raised tariff levels to never-before-seen levels in the US, reaching 38% on many imported goods and 45% on many imported raw materials. Supporters, mainly in the middle and west of the country, say it is necessary to keep US industry alive in light of low-priced products from Europe. Opponents, mainly in the south, argue that the tariffs place the burden of higher prices on them with little discernible benefit. Jackson's supporters expect that these tariffs will be significantly reduced under a Jackson Administration, especially since his running mate Calhoun is one of the staunchest opponents of the new tariffs. In addition to signing the bill itself, Adams has chosen a well-known protectionist as his running mate.
In many ways, the 1828 election this year is a relitigation of our last one. In the last election, Jackson won a plurality of the popular vote by a 10-point margin, and a plurality of votes in the electoral college as well. But due to what Jackson's supporters have called a "corrupt bargain," Adams ultimately won the presidency.
Adams began his presidency with an ambitious domestic agenda mostly focused on internal improvements. He proposed a national observatory, a national university, and a uniform system of weights and measures. He proposed a naval observatory, a national bankruptcy law, a national survey of the eastern coastline of the US, and a naval expedition to explore the Pacific Ocean. All of these proposals failed in Congress, if a vote was even held. Some initiatives did go through, though sometimes in the form of federal aid to privately-directed projects. Further construction was done on the National Road, and several new canals were built.
Adams' supporters have highlighted what they see as a number of Jackson's personal flaws. For example, while it isn't uncommon for a politician to own slaves, it is much less common for one to be actively involved in trading slaves as Andrew Jackson is. A series of provocative pamphlets has taken these attacks to the extreme, with accusations ranging from atrocities committed against Native Americans (some of which are likely accurate) to more dubious accusations of cannibalism. Much more mildly, Jackson's love of dueling and gambling have become better known by the public.
Jackson's "Nashville Committee," following the accusations against Jackson, has accused Adams of procuring women to sexually serve the Russian Czar during his time as ambassador to Russia. The evidence that this is true is about as abundant as the evidence that Jackson is a cannibal.
Thomas Jefferson passed away two years ago, and supporters of both Adams and Jackson have sought to build evidence that Jefferson preferred their candidate, or at least disliked the other candidate more. Politicians have revealed conversations they had with Jefferson, and letters Jefferson wrote in his final years have been publicly released. It appears that, at one time or another, Jefferson made criticisms of both Adams and Jackson.
TSLA options This is officially my first post to reddit. Long time reader, I also watch YouTube videos and don’t have an account so please forgive if my posting etiquette is off. Use to be a casual trader have a degree in economics with specialty in behavioral economics and minor in psychology. Also initially left college in my sophomore year (2010) to move to California and start a dispensary. I was going to McGill university in Montreal for those of you who don’t know of it(most Americans). FYI I am American myself and I’m Canada they call Harvard americas McGill (not bragging personally I still believe college is a tax on lower and middle class). I visited a friend on spring break and this is a time when a gram of weed would get you a night in jail and a misdemeanor and if you are lucky enough to live in Texas or Tennessee and be black either 1-10 in jail and at minimum they’d take your car or house or whatever expensive enclosed space you owned in which they found it or probably planted it. I could not believe what I was seeing when I went to see my friend (LA) and ultimately never returned from spring break. These were also the days when the laws in California were changing so fast that if you got a dispensary license in about 6 months you could sell the license for 10-100x what you paid for it (2k -7k if you used a lawyer or 500$ if you did all the paperwork yourself). I ended up starting the first 24hr delivery dispensary (legal) in California at that time probably the world. Needless to say it was very successful, after about a year I hired someone else to run the day to day and mostly became a semi professional gambler which many of you would consider yourselves. The difference is I was actually gambling in casinos. This is not a story in which I stupidly lose all my money at a craps table although there were some fear and loathing-esque weekends during this time that are noteworthy themselves. Also to note I decided to move with exactly 2$ to my name and my parents cutting me off because I was leaving college, luckily I also owned (or rather rented for free) a spot on my dear friends couch (who would later end up being an employee). Within 6 months I was worth about 50k within 12 I was making that much every week. This is the part where some of you may become disappointed because of all the interesting preamble that sounded like it was going to end in a crazy story where I used 50 lbs of weed to leverage a massive short on some stock because I had 24hrs to pay off the Armenian mafia or they would give me a Chinese haircut. Despite the fact that that did happen (with some minor liberties taken in the description although ones that make it actually less crazy of a story) it’s not what I am here writing about. I ended up starting my dispensary by winning 48k one night at the native casino near LA can’t remember the name but anyone from SoCal knows what it’s called. I was also a casual trader albeit very successful when I took it seriously. My dad is also a doctor so I essentially invested it all on ARNA before the fda approval of their new weight loss drug (at the time) I think it was called belviq. Anyway it was a killer, went from like 5 bucks to like 25 in a couple of days and I was looking good to start my business. Since then I’ve continued to dabble and did a lot of shorting but hated the risk, was unaware of options trading. After reading a couple articles online I started getting into it, fast forward to me studying economics (In which I didn’t learn much I didn’t already know except how to use programs to analyze massive amounts of data to find out trends that mostly my own intuition was good enough to tell me), but now atleast I’m a “respectable person” in the eyes of my parents and the business world. Ultimately since this is my first post I decided to go big and long with it because I just felt that would be proper and maybe someone would be entertained, and maybe in the future I will divulge the actual crazy shit that happened but wall street bets doesn’t seem like the right thread (?). I just wanted to introduce myself and say, when TSLA hit 964 two days ago how many thousands of wallstreeters and tens of thousands of thousands or hundreds or however many of you redditors that are trading options and know half a twats worth what you’re doing did jizz their pants and buy some puts. Personally I like to gamble only saw it once it had dipped down to 900$ before closing but was trending down already. I figured I’d buy something that had a really short execution period for cheap af at like 895$ and once it dipped to like 865 or something sell but ultimately I knew in my heart as most of u do that it was going to drop to maybe 700 or lower. Didn’t have the liquidity to do what I would have liked but called some of the rich people I know who did and they wanted to jerk me off at 11 am the next morning. The few who missed out were begging for what next. One particular who is a relative of mine and a VP at major software company (think top 3) argued that wouldn’t everyone be buying puts and isn’t that what drove the price up? Wouldn’t it be better to sell options on the tsla shares you own and then if it goes down you made some cash and buy more at the lower price. I’m sure many of you know why that is a much weaker play and has way less upside and at the same time limits your risk way less. When the morning came he and others who didn’t follow thru were dying they missed out and asking me what to do next. I hadn’t looked much but it seemed to be bottoming out at 7 and I assumed put buyers were starting to executing their contracts so I said buy calls near 700 and do it for the shortest period u can find in terms of days. By lunch time it’s at 750$ ofcourse and my suggestion of 10-20 contracts would be betting a nice 80-90k maybe more if u bought the ridiculously short term options. Most of them were able to cash out my relative who is an exec at (insert top software company here) still missed out. He had to go into a meeting and didn’t have enough time to execute and wanted to die as he watched the stock jump 50$ and the imaginary dollars that would have been piling up in his investment account disappearing for the second time in one day for the levels he trades and wanted to buy this would have been around 1m maybe he would have made. After his meeting he messages me “uhh I think I need you to manage part of my portfolio, can you do the options trading for me and manage my short term stocks? I don’t have enough time to watch the market because of meetings etc. and when I see what I’m missing out on I can’t pay attentions during the meetings and it’s fucking up my productivity.” - me : “ well I don’t want to have access to your password etc. and be responsible if some fucked shit happens in your portfolio I don’t want to be blamed. Also if I don’t know how I feel about making you millions and then accepting whatever tip you feel is appropriate. Obviously we could do like a percentage but I’d feel better about starting a separate fund and you can put in whatever you feel comfortable investing and we can see how it goes. I Send the same message to everyone in my thread. Looks like I may have inadvertently started a hedge fund let’s see how it goes. Depending on the funding I will repost with proof.
Reminder: do not EVER talk to the police any more than you are legally required to, regardless of whether you have done anything wrong. It cannot possibly help you.
I don’t want to call anyone out, but elsewhere on this sub I saw a comment that included the following regarding Tennessee police:
“But they are usually pretty cool as long as you respect them and conduct yourself as a gentlemen. And what so every do not lie to one of them regardless of what's asked. First hand experience has proven they value someone being straight forward and honest with them. It has saved my ass more than I'd like to recall.”
I have no idea if this person was legitimately this naive or just a cop on the sub, but I wanna make this post to help clarify for everyone who might have a police encounter this weekend. Do not EVER talk to cops any more than you absolutely have to, and most certainly do not offer them any more information than you are legally required (identification, insurance, etc). There are exactly zero – ZERO – situations where talking to the police will help you, no matter how nice they seem or what they tell you, and even if you’re genuinely doing nothing wrong they are trained to get you talking until you reveal something interesting. If you’re caught with weed or whatever and told to dump it at the entrance, say “yes sima’am”, dump it, and go. If you’re pulled over with all your gear, identify yourself and say you’re on the way to a camping trip, that’s it. Do not consent to a search, do not elaborate or mention Roo. By talking to the police you are gambling that they will be civil, that they will be honest about what you said in their own testimony, and that you have as good of an understanding of which laws not to break as they do, none of which are good bets to make at all with cops. Nothing you say to the police can be used to help you in a court of law. Everything you say can exclusively be used as evidence against you by the prosecution. You cannot talk your way out of being arrested. Do not talk to cops. Innocent or guilty, it cannot make your life easier to talk to them, only hurt you.
