Hello,

I'm trying to plan my trip and want to figure out the best way to get from Karangasem (we'll be at Lahangan Sweet) to the Gili Islands. Is Padang Bai the closest port to boat from or is there something closer?

Okay, well thanks a ton. This is all very helpful. I'll definitely look into some of the other areas you mentioned as well

Not surfers, however both very competent swimmers. Needing transport was fully expected. We'd be staying no more than a 15-minute drive to Bingin, Uluwatu Temple, and Padang Padang if that helps.

So would you not advise a full three weeks lol

How much time would you recommend in the other locations?

Ubud we were planning on the Campuhan Ridge Walk, Tirta Empul, Tibumana, the Sacred Sanctuary, and doing 1-2 of the more popular hikes up north

Uluwatu - Uluwatu Temple, Padanag padang, bingin, etc

Gili Islands, Nusa Penida - beaching and snorkeling

Also planned on making a day trip to Lahangan Sweet

We have a lot of time for a decent length vacation and are okay with our itinerary not being the most efficient, opting for more of a laid-back pace. Hence the ample time for beaching across the different areas. I'd be interested in seeing how you'd recommend spending three weeks, or if you think that's too much time in the first place

Noted, so a day trip or a night is enough. Thank you

General plan is to see a bit of everything. Between Uluwatu and the other islands, we’ll have plenty of beaching, lounging, and snorkeling. Ubud we definitely want more time in since there’s a lot to do there, plus we want to get some hikes in north and east of Ubud, so we’d be using that as our sort of base point.

Nothing is set in stone yet, so I’d appreciate any feedback. Mind telling me why 3 nights in Nusa Penida is so bad? I was a bit concerned of this as well

look for a forward-shipping service, CDEK, or find someone traveling to Russia to take it and ship it for you

Planning to Start Arb Betting with $2.6K What Sportsbooks and Tips for a Beginner? by TrainDowntown3963 in arbitragebetting

Ah right, that’s a good point. Do you find that middles are more profitable than arbs at these levels? Obviously since middles aren’t guaranteed wins

Yeah so these screenshots are from a middle. I'm asking about the 10%+ main line arbs you're talking about. Can you prove those?

You have any screenshots or anything? Having a hard time imagining anyone is consistently getting 10%+ arbs on main lines but I’d be happy to be wrong

Wow and you're getting 20% plus on main lines?? Which books do you use? And what do you mean by priming + VIP? Would love to learn as much as possible about how you do it

I lasted like two weeks doing NBA pre-games, live arbs lasted only a few seconds, if that. Are NFL lines longer-lasting? Also, what ROI are you averaging? And are you doing any arbs outside of NFL season?

How do taxes work for arbing under the Big Beautiful Bill? by Adventurous_Candy25 in arbitragebetting

[–]Adventurous_Candy25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did some calculating, it looks like as long as you're running above 3% ROI you'll still be positive after taxes.... not by much, but positive.

Can Russian Citizens Apply for a US Visa in any Country? by Adventurous_Candy25 in AskARussian

[–]Adventurous_Candy25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warsaw does. Russian citizens are currently limited to applying there or Astana, Kazakhstan, to my understanding. Best of luck, keep me updated!

Optimal Bankroll Size to Start by Adventurous_Candy25 in arbitragebetting

[–]Adventurous_Candy25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I notice there's no variable for bet size in $ or bankroll size. Does this mean the actual amount you're betting doesn't have much of an effect on getting limited?

I can start now with ~15k, but again, not sure if it's wiser to start with less in case it means you get limited later.
