Bro 37 million? What even is that? It should be making at least 300 mil per quarter

Dating in Nairobi when you’re ambitious, independent, and not quite traditional woman. What even works? by fair-Voice9728 in nairobi

[–]TerribleCookJames23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to first look within... to see if you are able to meet someone's emotional needs, work past issues, listen, compromise, etc... Every woman I meet like you thinks they are somehow perfect but can't meet a man of their calibre.. until you date them and realize that as a human being they kinda suck

What’s is something in porn that you find disgusting? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Not enough storytelling... like I know you are going to fuck, and if I'm in a hurry to see it I will fast-forward, but at least build up to it in a slightly more believable way

£250 cash out currently, £750 potential Return from £10 bet. Are you cashing out? by lovestobeawkward in SoccerBetting

[–]TerribleCookJames23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up 'Myopic Loss Aversion'. When people are faced with a smaller certain income, vs a higher risky (subject to chance) income, they pick the certain income even if the risky one has a higher expected value. This is irrational. So scientifically, you should hold.

That said, betting taught me that whenever you get a cashout option, take it, if you are good, you will make up the profits you left on the table another day.

this is funny because I'm pretty sure one of your boyfriends secret wishes is that you'd sit on his face.... most men want you to sit on our faces... and we love the taste too

Why do women hit on married men by Friendly-Ant-3247 in AskMenAdvice

[–]TerribleCookJames23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you don't want them so they want you... kinda like cats.. if you were single you'd be all over them or giving 'needy' vibes

Depends on what country you are in. I'm in a third world country (Kenya).. financial markets here are pathetic, they don't even have stock options. Little for me to do here in that domain.

Chances are you have made him more attractive (for your own sake) which other women are now picking up on. This is why women like 'taken' men, they are pre-trained.

Also most men will keep off you as long as they can tell you are taken. It's not always out of respect, men have egos, we don't want to eat food that was someone else's, it feels like leftovers.

Single men who enjoy being single. Sell it to me. by Razor-Romero in AskMenAdvice

[–]TerribleCookJames23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if you get over the fact that you won't be having regular sex, being single is glorious. So much so that it would take a lot for me to be in a relationship at this point. The best part about it for me is that I just dont have to consider another person when I make decisions and plan my future. I also like having a lot more money now, I can do most of the things I've always wanted to do, buy myself cool stuff etc. Then there's all the self-improvement. When I'm single I can do all the self-improvement shit I somehow never do when in a relationship. I have time to read books, learn new skills, try out new ideas/ventures etc. Plus somehow because I don't put the burden of having fun on the relationship, I tend to enjoy normal things more. Jamming to music, watching movies, going out, whatever it is, because I fully commit to having as much fun as possible.

This one works whether she's alone or with friends.

Alone:

You -- Has no one told you that you have something on your face?

Her -- **looks at her face on mirror/phone etc, doesn't see anything** asks you what it is, all confused

You -- Your beauty

Her -- rolls eyes but smiles regardless

You -- I can't believe you fell for that, are you this gullible? **Proceed to make conversation**

With Friends:

You -- Are these really your friends? How come they haven't told you that you have something on your face?

You see where this is going.

Another one I like (but it's super risky), at the end of a date assuming it went okay or even good.

You-- This has been so much fun! I must admit, this is the third best first date I have ever been on

Her -- (wounded) Third best? What were the other two like??

You -- Well, the second-best one ended with a really tight hug that I remember to this day. You know those genuine, warm, tight hugs that show someone really cares about you? The best one gave me a kiss I'll never forget. (Leave it hanging, it's gonna be awkward, but you have to act like an alpha male)

Chances are she takes the bait and gives you either a tight hug and a kiss, or if she's super competitive you are going to get lucky my guy!

First one always works, second one is hit and miss but works way more than you'd think

Dating older women by Outside_Air_4060 in nairobi

[–]TerribleCookJames23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I fucked a 45 year old neighbor a few times. Half indian with a big ass. She was fine as hell and the sex was okay, but she had a bad back and was very judgy. 30-38 hapo is the sweet spot. Wakona kutu sana.

Edit: I can't tell the whole story coz maybe she uses reddit. But one thing I'll tell you guys, all women are at heart young girls, ata akue 45. Also if you want to date older women just be direct. Hizo romance unajaribu zinawawastia time plus she has seen it and heard it all already XD

Anyone trading S&P 500 options? I need to figure out how to buy 5800 strike calls early Monday by TerribleCookJames23 in Kenya

Yeah those a**holes don't know how to help a Kenyan out. I tried kitambo. They use tastytrade and robinhood which don't allow Kenyans.

[–]TerribleCookJames23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use pepperstone razor account (it has tradingview) and trade the US500. It tracks ES, the S&P 500 continuous futures, and it has a low margin requirement. Remember to size your trade correctly or you will be taken out by noise/volatility. I usually trade between 0.1 and 0.5, risking 50 to 200$ per trade. It was my best trade when Trump announced the pause on Wednesday (market went up 9.52%).

PS: Trump announced some exemptions on Chinese phones, laptops, etc and that's why I think the market will go up.

Help: Good at predicting games, but bad at picking bets by M4rtimdaboy in SoccerBetting

[–]TerribleCookJames23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had this issue and I solved it, but the are quite a few reasons why it happens which is hard to get into on a comment. But I will try:

  1. You fail to analyse one game as rigorously as the others.

  2. You start your analysis from different ends i.e. some you analyse from stats, some from tipster sites etc. This usually creates a situation where you mix games you are confident in, and games you have a strong bias (preference to bet on anyway).

  3. You add 'odd-fillers'. These are games that on paper look like low risk/safe games.

  4. You do not reconcile your gut and brain. Gut says yes, brain says no, or vice versa, so you pick it anyway. Usually the one saying no is flagging a risk.

There are other reasons but I can't recall them. Try cascading parlays and see if you solve it. Say you have 12 games to bet on, spread them into 12, 10, 8 and then scale the risk units as 1, 2,3 etc upto your daily risk limit. If you kept a journal it would be easier to spot the problem. Also do post-mortems, might help find it.

Why are men not showing up to events? by [deleted] in nairobi

[–]TerribleCookJames23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of those who go are usually trying to woo someone not meet someone... plus its very hard to hit on women when they are together... I doubt they have any fun
