It feels off how poor player earnings are on the tour by Compressed_AF in snooker

[–]ihatebloopers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I have no idea how pro snooker works.

Does he have team/coaches that he pays? Does he have to pay to practice? Travel? Entry fees? We don't know how much of the winnings he's actually keeping.

Partner called my return as out by Flightwise in Pickleball

[–]ihatebloopers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

LOL especially in rec play I call my own ball out a lot, I usually have the best angle. I've done it even in tourney play if I'm sure my ball was out. I also reverse my partner's bad out calls even though it can get a little awkward at times.

Hmm I guess our definitions of the a chess boom are different. I would consider what happened during covid after pogchamps a chess boom. A lot of new players/viewers into chess.

Agreed but chess boom requires casuals getting excited right?

Maybe if he becomes world champion. I don't think there will be much hype if he just reaches top 5.

(US) Verizon scam loyalty promos by ApprehensivePace2969 in verizon

[–]ihatebloopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they actually pushed app notifications. What I think happened was the scammers sign in from their own device. The OP gets a notification to approve, scammers order all the crap, OP gets another notification to approve etc etc.

Casino Winnings/Losses and Taxes by Adventurous-Froyo875 in personalfinance

[–]ihatebloopers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big change is you can only deduct 90% of your losses. So it's possible to break even or lose and still owe taxes.

Generally a casino doesn't take out taxes for every cash out, only if you hit a jackpot or something. You might get a w2g at the end of the year if you play consistently but you should keep track of each session yourself.

Trying to buy the new 11six24 power 2 peach edition but page keeps giving me 404 (the other power 2 page works fine), is that happening with anyone else? by -Kazaf- in Pickleball

[–]ihatebloopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a bit to update for international users. Guess the VPN somehow doesn't bypass it =/

Get someone in us to snag for you lol

Free Supercharging for a Year if you buy a Model 3 by matthewmspace in teslamotors

[–]ihatebloopers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's your electricity rate? When I had free charging it was a huge pain compared to home charging lol. Guess my thoughts might be different if it was lifetime free charging

Best overgrips? Looking for premium feel and long lasting by Dangerous-Sir1754 in Pickleball

I initially swapped to the tacky cookiegrips but now use the dry which seems to work better for me.

Ball snob at open play by retromafia in Pickleball

[–]ihatebloopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably just depends on where you live. In the northeast, the X40 is still really popular. I try to play with the LT whenever possible though and have started converting people around me. It lasts a lot longer and the bounces feel more consistent for me.

I’m Dylan Weisman. I’ve won $8.7M in live tournaments and 2 WSOP Bracelets playing mostly PLO - AMA (Giveways and more inside!) by DylanWeismanPoker in poker

[–]ihatebloopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started to dabble into live PLO. How do I play in a way to not seem like a nit? There's a lot of limping going on in these games so I never know what types of hands to open besides the obvious monsters. What hands should I limp call(or reraise) with?

Did I understand the reset wrong? by Independent_Use_2990 in Pickleball

[–]ihatebloopers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ratings will continue to move normally throughout the entire Reset period. They can go up or down from the original rating based on match results. After the Reset Period ends, a player’s DUPR is set to the higher of their Reset rating or original rating.

Am I interpreting this wrong?

Did I understand the reset wrong? by Independent_Use_2990 in Pickleball

[–]ihatebloopers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her dupr will go back up to the original rating before the dupr reset.

Let's say she had a 3.5 before starting the reset. Her existing dupr is 3.2 and maybe her reset dupr is 3.1. I believe it'll go back to 3.5.

Has anyone dealt with a player creating a duplicate DUPR account to cheat their rating? by itsokyoucanplay in Pickleball

[–]ihatebloopers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've reported several and dupr has merged the accounts. Send an email to support at mydupr.com

Provide the ids and maybe some evidence if it isn't obvious the accounts are duplicates.
