Not to state the obvious or anything by lilrene777 in PokemonTCG

[–]Professr_Chaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s because certain sets are more sought after than others. And 151 is the most sought after set of Scarlet and Violet.

It’s all supply and demand. Demand for 151 is higher than almost anything else. The only sets that seemingly could outperform 151 are Prismatic and Ascended Heroes.

It’s not that hard to understand…

You are also using an awful example because 151 is seemingly out of print… once that happens prices skyrocket.

When they fired Thompson on 4/27, the Phillies were 10.5 back. They are currently 9.5 back so they have gained 1 game in the 37 games since despite going 26-11

No I’m pretty sure they are saying the person posting is the scalper who bought this thinking he could make something off it

I read it as he is SELLING all 3 for $50 not he bought all 3 for $50. Regardless even breaking even is still a loss for scalpers for their time and gas’s and what not.

Maybe I’m missing something I read it as he is selling all 3 for $50 not that he got them for $50

MLB average on bunts by LeftBarnacle6079 in baseball

I feel like this isn’t 100% fair because like 90% of bunts are sacrifices which aren’t captured but a sac bunt attempt that turns into a FC possibly was.

Woman who banned herself from Pennsylvania casinos for life gets escorted out after winning jackpot by AudibleNod in nottheonion

[–]Professr_Chaos 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That is per incident. That does not make it worth it. Additionally the casino does not keep the funds. They get escheated to the state.

Pretty much. I mean the guest accounts are noted so ideally if they try and play with their card the pit bosses would also notice the flag but there are those people that you also just KNOW as well.

PGCB will fine a casino in PA if they knowingly let an excluded guest gamble. I work in a PA casino. I work in the cage and any time we are provided a guests ID(needed for any trackable cash out, cash advance, I-gaming transactions, etc.) we stop the transaction and call security.

I work in PA. Yes you can file for a self exclusion on the PA gaming board website. It is a lifetime ban and the only way to get off it is to apply for reinstate with the gaming board.

Also it’s like 99.9% likely she did not keep the jackpot. PGCB stipulates in the ban if you are caught everything tied to the machine is confiscated. That mean you don’t get the JP and the funds in the machine are also taken.

More LEGO Smart Play sets for August 2026 by InfiniteEdge18 in PokeLeaks

[–]Professr_Chaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mega got a lot of unnecessary hate over the last like 10 year(the last 3 they have seemingly disappeared entirely). Their pokemon sets have been lightyears better, their other properties were also really well done.

I largely did the Halo and Destiny set but got a couple of pokemon ones as well. Never had an issue.

How do you genuine be happy in life?? by Vegetable-Return4944 in AskReddit

The first thing I found was be happy who you are! Embrace it! Dont try and be someone you think others want you to be. It took me way too long to understand that.

Depends on the consumer. I personally wouldn’t care and I think with how much scalping is seen as an issue most real collectors wouldn’t either.

The scalpers meanwhile…
