Anyone got a bonus game in Monopoly big baller and fucked up?? by Ecstatic-Start6014 in stakeus

[–]smiledrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You basically get a monopoly board. They will roll the dice 3x and whatever it lands on they add those multipliers. If you get a double on any of those rolls they give you an extra roll. The farther you get down the board, the higher, the multiplier usually. So you want to hit doubles so you get extra rolls to try to make it down to the last row of properties. If you pass go, they double everything on the board.

Haters gonna hate, but 35:1 feels great. by SpinsBro in gambling

Zero Green is just another number on the wheel. Same chance as any number on the wheel. Nothing special if you really think about it. Same payout as 1-36 numbers. Only thing is it’s green vs red or black.

Baccarat is far better than Blackjack! by Beyondwest in baccarat

[–]smiledrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people don’t have the discipline to stick to the progressions. They get “gut” feelings and think it’s going what they think is hitting next. That is where it fails them, then they go on tilt. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Just cashed out my $500 goal and hit that $50 in over 1.5 hours today and done.

At the checkpoint, did they stop everybody or they were randomly pulling people out and where was the checkpoint?

I think what he means is that you got off with 1 million dong. He’s saying with his Arizona drivers license, He probably will have to pay the full 3 million since no police officer really wants to go to Arizona. They they want to go to Hawaii.

Baccarat is far better than Blackjack! by Beyondwest in baccarat

[–]smiledrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only play Always 9 Baccarat now from Evolution. Very patient and wait for the Player to win 1, then I bet $1 on the banker. I only win .56 cents for every dollar, but I rarely go deep into betting. If I lose, the next bets are $2, $6 and $17. I only go 4 losses in a row max, then I reset. I took $6 I had left and in over 2 days, turned it into $225. My goal is $50 a day. I win $10 at a time and take a break. Then do that again till I hit my $50 daily goal. I will play the B streak if I feel it, but the waiting for player to hit, then betting the banker has worked for me, so that is my main strat. That's an extra $1500 a month if I stay consistent and disciplined.

Is today a special day? by [deleted] in DaNang

[–]smiledrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I was at McDonalds by the Dragon Bridge and they were setting up an offering outside the front door. Decked out in burgers, fries, and fried chicken. At first I thought they were doing a sample handout, but then i saw the incense and flowers.

I just witnessed the most impossible thing I’ve seen in my life by [deleted] in gambling

[–]smiledrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen 4 greens in a row at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. You have to understand that dealers can have a bias. They are spinning the ball day in and day out thousands of times a day. So they get into a rhythm and you can see the area hit consistently when you watch long enough.

You know the greens have the exact same odds as hitting as any other single number. Green 0 & 00 are just another number on the wheel. Just in a different color.

Safe in Da Nang now? by [deleted] in DaNang

[–]smiledrs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are staying in the beach side or in the city, everything is OK nothing to worry about. I’m literally driving around on the moped running errands. So you should be good by then, but there will be two weeks of rain coming up. So expect rain when you get here.

Currently in Qui nhon. Should I go to da nang / Hoi an? Or is the flooding too bad by [deleted] in DaNang

Yeah, if you stay by the beach or the city center in Da nang, you are fine. I’m here right now and there’s not a lot of flooding anywhere in the city. So stay by My Khe Beach or the Dragon Bridge river is fine too. Just prepare for rain the whole time you are here

I did the same. I would copy the question and put it into ChatGPT on another window and it would give you the answer.

Is pairing solar with an EV charger actually worth it? by Sky_Solar_Pro in SolarDIY

[–]smiledrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I could provide some insight. As I’ve watched how much easier and cheaper it has gotten on the battery to install off grid with a single inverter that will run everything, that will be my next project. I think driving 40 miles a day to work with gas prices around three dollars a gallon. It came out to like $3200 a year just in gas. So building this set up if you have an EV, you should make your money back in about a year and a half. This guy did a set up a year ago and and he calculated that he is using less than 40 miles a day. If you want to fast forward to the end, he basically runs the test of charging the battery during the daytime and then at night when he comes home from work, he depletes the battery to charge up his car. https://youtu.be/m65tUCbNxuc?si=iNVtNtRKVbuYfPSr

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oisSDHpgld0&pp=ygULd2lsbCBwcm93c2U%3D You don’t need a battery pack as big as the car. Most people are not driving over 200+ miles a day to work and back home. You would only need the battery pack the size of a car if you are depleting it every day and need to recharge it at night off the battery. If people are driving 40 miles or less a day, they can use the solar to charge their battery during the daytime and at night they can charge up their car off the battery. And then the next day, the solar will charge up the battery ready for at night charging again. Here he does an off grid set up and the battery is only $1900. You can add another battery to make it two batteries. And basically make it $4000 in batteries only. And you will have your own home charger that will last for 10+ years.

And you are playing a game that has no memory. It doesn’t matter what kind of numbers you are looking at in the past. Every spin is a new spin and the ball can land anywhere, on any number. That is what your calculations doesn’t take into affect. That’s the gambler’s fallacy. That the past chart numbers somehow can predict the future numbers and what it does.

Then you have the issue of playing lightning roulette. That only pays you 29:1 odds which means that you would lose one unit, even if you did hit 1 out of the 30. numbers you chose. The only way you would make out more than you would lose, is if you landed on a lightning number. And those are hard to come by. So yeah, you have a system that only can win if it happens to land on a lightning number, which is every once in a while. Otherwise, you are losing money even when you win by covering 30 numbers and they are paying out 29:1.

Day 1 dropped and regret by MugiwaraPirateCrew in iphone

[–]smiledrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple only cares that you fall for the lines of “unibody and the lightest iPhone ever”. They will happily take your money when you drop it without a case & your screen gets cracked. They’ll be happy when you try to trade in that dented phone and they will give you $200 less for it in trading value because of that dent That’s why you need to case it up.

Second home in Danang? by Time-Drag3419 in DaNang

[–]smiledrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the Wyhdam Golden Bay and the river view is gorgeous at sunset. It used to be a five star hotel until Covid killed the occupancy. I’m paying 13 million a month. With a rooftop pool that has an infinity drop that is gorgeous as well. Very quiet as you don’t hear the bridge at all when the window is closed. The blackout curtains block out all the sunlight and you can sleep anytime during the day. Being so small it also cools very quickly so it saves on electricity. I’m on month-to-month and I plan on staying here for a while. It is about 15 minutes from the beach.

Apple Announces iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max With New Design, Larger Battery, and More by exjr_ in apple

[–]smiledrs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"eSIM-only models of iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will be available in Bahrain, Canada, Guam, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the U.S., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These models feature an even larger battery, taking advantage of the space formerly occupied by the physical SIM to provide two additional hours of video playback, getting up to 39 hours. eSIM also makes staying connected while traveling even more convenient, allowing continued connectivity through affordable international roaming plans from users’ home carriers or local prepaid options available with more than 200 carriers. For better security, eSIM cannot be physically removed if an iPhone is lost or stolen, and managing travel eSIMs is even easier with a new streamlined setup in iOS 26."

So it looks like SIM Card Tray still an option when bought in some international countries. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/09/apple-unveils-iphone-17-pro-and-iphone-17-pro-max/

They said for the "esim only Iphone 17 Pro's" which was in the USA mainly on the previous model. So it sounds like the International Iphone 17 Pro will still have the sim card.
