F*ck You $$$$

[Ballerholic]

Making another thread. It's hard staying motivated to constantly update a thread and put in the work so just going to do a 30 day challenge. I need to post here at least 1x a day anyway to get points so may as well try and make it productive.

Anyway trying to make F*ck you money that will allow me the freedom I want. I'll try and keep this separate and not use it as extra cash to do fun stuff with but we'll see. Going to try and make this FU$ by poker, sports betting, and trading stocks. I'm in USA right now so can't really trade stocks so I'm going to paper trade and then wait until I get back to Europe in a month and trade CFDs there. Currently playing PLO online as main game and will start sports betting once the real season begins next week.

Also may as well make this a productivity thread too. Trying to constantly improve my life with health/fitness/happiness/growth/knowledge as well as making more money.

GL this season guys

Another thread...another year of not making progress financially.

Time to go out and get a real job. Time to start a career....and not to try to live a dream.

Got a good workout in today, but didn't really do anything else productive. Mainly just chilled out. Waiting for some of the posters I follow across multiple forums to post their picks for the upcoming week and then I'll put those bets out. I don't cap my own games until a few weeks into the season when more information is out.

Forex

- Predicting the USD/CAD to end the day in the red for 8/26.
- Predicting the GBP/CAD to end in the red for 8/26.

Stocks

- Verizon Wireless to end day in red 8/26.
- Boeing to end day in red 8/26.

I have a job at the moment. Just trying to do the rest of this as a hobby to create some extra cash. Then hopefully when I have a lot of this extra cash I can hopefully start doing some of this stuff full time.

So ended up playing some poker yesterday. Went very well even though it's just microstakes plo at the moment. I'm really trying to manage risk the correct way and build my roll up slowly. Also ended up predicting the stock and forex market pretty well yesterday which would have a been a winning day if I could actively trade them. It's annoying because in USA to day trade stocks you need $25,000 in an account, but in Europe you can do it with $100 using a highly leveraged form of stock ownership called CFDs (Contract for Difference).

Also looking to place some sports bets, but can't take them all since SBR Store is taking soooooo long to even let us know what is going on. Some guys have been waiting over 2 months now for their orders without any explanation. When I bet sports I have 2 methods. 1) I have many cappers off of forums (mainly on the other sports forums) whose records I have been following for the past few years. Now these posters are winning cappers based on my record keeping, as well as their own, and are big posters on the forums. I started doing this once I followed one of these posters after he went tout from the forums and he actually killed it. Most people don't know about him or his buddy who does another sports, but both killed it on the forums and continued when going tout.

Now 2) is that I have my own trends that I have back tested over the past few years. I probably have about 20 trends across multiple sports that I am comfortable betting when they happen to come up. A lot of these are live wagers as well and I could probably hit at least 10-20 bets per week with these. Combined with the picks of the cappers I follow I can easily have 50 picks a week. Because of that I think a 1% BRM is smart.

Also I'm just writing this to keep note for later. I was just browsing stocks before my post and unfortunately I couldn't pick some before the stock market opened a few minutes ago. But I was leaning towards a green day for a majority of the stocks in the S&P 500. Going to monitor closely. I saw signs that a reversal was going to happen, but the candle was not as close to support or BB levels as I hoped. Then I found a few other stocks that showed more confident signs of a reversal such as engulfing bar and even bullish pin that broke BB. Since the direction of daily stocks correlates very closely with one another in S&P well then if I see them in future I can just go long on all stocks.

Finally have my bankrolls sorted out...

Gambling Roll - $1,050

Started $500 each and went 3-1 this weekend in sports while making some side cash in poker. I was going to divide the bankroll, but I figure it's all gambling and if I'm a winning player this is a much better approach.

Started the weekend with $5 bets, but thinking I'll just use a .5% rule and place like $5 bets and will be playing PLO 25. I can easily have 25-30 bets going on any given football weekend and once the NBA/NCAAM games start up 50-70 is 100% doable.

Anyway renewing pro status hopefully this week. Need to figure out the reload options for sportsbooks
