Never played it. My record was 65% W/L before playing any ELO, nor SC-WaE players.

When you keep your comments to game play I appreciate your contributions but how about not insulting the almost 7 million people world wide that have died from your fake news media flu. You've been warned many times by the moderators to keep your selfish political views out of the gaming forums but you always come back and do it again and again and again. It gets really old and stale.

What in the world are you talking about. Call me selfish and political. I don't even vote, waste of my time. You don't even know me.

People are people, so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people, so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully

So, we're different colors and we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me, though, I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you, so, what could I have done?
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

People are people, so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
Help me understand
(Help me understand) help me understand

And now you're punching, and you're kicking, and you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
So far, it hasn't surfaced, but I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fist (head to your fist)
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

People are people, so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully

@Tanaka --- You should report everyone, for ah, doing nothing. With your ability to read minds, should be playing high stakes poker on a regular basis. What am I thinking now? (Feel free to reload, that's what this thread is about)

Gambling is like nuclear war - the only way to win is not to play. Especially casinos as it's fool's errand - it's mostly luck (only blackjack has any real sense of strategy involved). Having said that I do like betting on horse racing - at least studying the form makes you feel you have a strategy for it, even if it's an uphill battle with the bookies.

I prefer playing Craps, Poker, and yes, Sports betting.

Craps, is a crap shoot Game is fun, because you throw something, stand-up, fast, and can play either side.

Poker, is the best skill game in the casino. Too bad the rakes take 10% of 10 player table per hour.

Sports, watch, wait, for sports. Basketball, Hockey, Tennis, Golf, UFC, name it.

It's all about have a realistic exit plan, money management. Or just let it ride

Craps is the best, IMO, but i do my gambling in the stock market! Check out my latest speculations, mstr and nvda.

You're half-right. The only way to indulge in gambling is to be the house. Otherwise you're a fool and his money soon to be separated.

As to the original post - I say give us that stats and we can debate the meaning.

Been riding this stock, XOM + selling some covered calls.

Already own it, a good dividend payer, but for future positions, my eyes are on CVX. Needs to pull back a little and then pull the trigger!

This thread was talking craps and now the stock market.
Yep we are still on topic. Both are a crap shoot.

CVX, for sure. They hit 170, they announced the Hess, purchase, with stock. Caused downtick, I took a hit. No fear with Oil/Gas big players. I'm riding them to the grave.

Got some NBA/NHL series plays. Heavy on the favorites. Need Denver vs Boston in the Finals, NBA.
Individual games, had couple losers, played Suns twice, garbage.

NHL different story. Be playing hockey teasers, haven't lost one yet. Be patient and go big.

Bringing this thread back to the orignal subject (as fascinating as the stock picks may be): Devs - any thoughts on adding a std. deviation score? It seems like it would be pretty straighforward. Maybe have subscores for: events like diplomacy hits, battles, tech advances?
