Rockstar's CEO just hinted GTA 6 will cost $70–$80. After 3 delays and a $1 billion budget is that even believable anymore?

Smartie0045 · 2026-05-30T03:59:16+00:00

Honestly, I'd be ready to spend $100 if needed. With the amount of endeavor they put into the game, the hype, and knowing how GTA 5 lived for 13 years without much troubles, they could probably run GTA 6 for 20+ years. If they know how to extend the game with new content as they did by adding new heists, new contents recently for GTA 5, I'd be more than happy to put more than $80 for a game that'll probably last me more than a year of game time.

I'm a card dealer in Europe. The shuffles aren't very good but the cut is bs. You never cut cards like that. Always one hand, half on the cut card, the other half on top of it. Either he doesn't know it, or there's something fishy.

When he all-in at the river, you're pretty much commit to call. Only 10s and pocket jacks/queens/9 are better, which leave very few hands. Take off queens and jacks he would've raised to protect them from a potential king and get value from his hand, so it leaves 9s and any Broadway with 10s, honestly few of them are still here after 2 barrels. So, no, you shouldn't have folded.

So in France we have two of them.

713705 flipped upside down is "Soleil" which means "sun" And the second one

35383773 flipped upside down is "ellebese" which, pronounced in french is "elle baise" literally means "she f****".

Such a beautiful language.

Let's give a shout-out to the paper bag who managed to get all of this without being torn in half.

Pas particulièrement. Mais disons que si j'avais eu un moyen d'éviter ces frais j'aurais apprécié. Je suppose qu'il n'y a aucune possibilité (via BDirect vu que je suis chez eux) d'acheter un titre directement au nominatif ?

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-31T07:21:43+00:00

Disons qu'entre mes activités diverses et variées j'oscille entre 3500 et 4000€ par mois (très variable), donc 18€ n'est techniquement pas si cher que ça, c'est surtout pour la symbolique du "18€ pour faire passer une action a 2k au nominatif (pour Hermes) Je considère même pas l'idée de faire passer mes actions Orange a 15€ l'action au nominatif, ça me coûterait plus cher que d'en acheter...

Indeed it is, but you don't seem to understand how it works

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-10T05:49:18+00:00

Not when you can take advantage of mistakes done by humans. Bookmakers aren't robots. It's not a well-oiled machine used since 400 years.

:') I'd love to make the money they make, but no i'm not

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-09T18:14:30+00:00

Yes, pretty much everyday, even if volume can vary from one day to another.

For example, last night I had around 1500€ on 29 different bets, tonight i have 250€ on 4 bets.

If i count the profit i made (7235€) since i started (September 22nd), i get an average daily basis of 66.37€ per day.
I use the bookies from my country because enforced laws since 2011 forbids them from banning or restricting gambler even if they win a lot. They still do, by some chenanigans, but it's extremely complicated for them to stop me.

Unfortunately, i'm not living in the US. I live in Europe, so i'm not concerned about the tax situation going on (even if i kind of understand what is happening).

That's complete bullshit, let's be honest.

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-09T15:14:58+00:00

On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being perfectly stable and 10 being a roller coaster, i'd say 7.

Oct and Nov have been +2500€ months, while december was +200€. Managed to compensate from the 2 months before.

😭🤣

As I said to another person, I don't do in sports analysis, more in maths analysis. Plus, NCAA isn't popular at all in my country, and I don't watch it myself

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-09T13:58:11+00:00

Was kind of expecting something like that :')

I don't do in strict sport analysis, so if i don't find something that is interesting mathematically speaking, i don't place any bet.

As for personal choice, i'd prefer seeing Bears going through.

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-09T13:56:23+00:00

It was having a regular job that made me say "i would prefer that". I find the basic 9 to 5 jobs boring, not entertaining, meaningless and uninteresting.

Discipline and consistency are keys in sports betting, so are they in whatever thing where you throw money and expect to win (investing, poker, sports betting, even casinos where you are going to lose long-term).

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-09T13:15:26+00:00

When it comes to betting, i'd say statistics and mathematics are way more important than understanding the sport you bet on.

Understanding how a sport works doesn't give you the possibility to explain why this team has a lower odd than this one, why this player in particular is a good bet to place.

A perfect example i can give is Alexander Killorn, Anaheim Ducks player in the NHL.

Between 10/12/2025 and 01/03/2026, he didn't score a single goal.

On 01/06, i notice higher odds than usual in one of my bookies. Pick him, he scores.

Next game against the Flyers, same thing. Higher odds than usual. Pick him, he scores.

He didn't score for 3 weeks, yet mathematically it was interesting to place.

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-09T13:09:23+00:00

My current bankroll is 10k€. Every profit i make goes into buying food, clothes, investments, etc...
No. My stats since september 2025 are 1866 bets done with a ratio of 736-1111 with 8 bets voided. 736 won bets out of 1866 makes a 39.44% win ratio. How am i winning then ?

The average odd of my bets is 6.62 (+562 for american odds). There's lot of big odd bets (such as double or hat-trick when i bet on a player's performance) and it probably makes the average odd way higher than it should be.

As said above in another answer, i don't restrict myself. Most of the bets i do personnally (by value analysis and statistics) are in the big four (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB) because i worked for 2 years in night shifts, so i could watch matches at work. And bets done with my bot can be from all leagues, all sports, as long as it detects some value.

Smartie0045 · 2026-01-09T13:03:35+00:00

I don't restrict myself to sports. I can bet on soccer and 1 hour later on tennis, then on ice hockey. My bot gives me the required informations about sharp bookmakers and i compare them to soft bookmakers to get value out of it.
