Excellent posts BM and Bubbles. I think it can be simplified by saying that the kind of personalities drawn towards becoming gamblers often seek instant gratification and make rash decisions as opposed to the opposite type that favour safety and careful planning. However no ones personality is set i...

My psychological analysis wasn't meant to specify NB personally. It just generally is how people with chronic depression will act. I'm sure people pick up the same characteristics in my own posts when I let my depression get the better of me, as opposed to my usual style of posting which attempts to...

The vote you entered stays italicised.

Firstly if that was true Red and your intention is for only the most intelligent to spot your clues then why add such obvious direction as the Star Wars post brought up previously? Even if you're favouring the smart do you really want to leave access open to these hints on the Internet so that any a...

Hmm...you obviously missed my sarcasm. Never mind. When dealing with chronically depressed people their responses will often be littered with elusive sarcasm, arrogance, belittlement and malicious anger. It serves best to ignore these negative characteristics and address the points they are often m...

ROTW:- You're welcome to play in north London as much you like. I mean we live in London, in case you hadn't noticed half the country treats our home as a free for all already. I never understood why you get territorial about your area when it's already got hundreds that go there.

There's no need to be so defensive, I'm only going on what you post here. I'm not saying you ever asked me for info when we spoke, I never asked you for any either. It's not about that. It's about I don't want to feel bad and act like your mate when really I'd be keeping things from you. I don't lik...

Sigh. I did actually try to call you the other day when you were supposedly suicidal. Your phone was off so I rang David because I was concerned about you. He told me not to worry and it was just one of your typical melodramatic moments. Obviously you're correct and I don't know you at all but it ap...

ROTW:- Sorry I didn't read your post properly. You accept games are harder now but you think they are still relatively simple and primitive? Nothing you've played recently has taxed your brain at all? Have to disagree there mate.

The Glendale and titchno1 bashing was caused by my fury with individuals to grasp what you describe as the central a simple point of this thread. If you feel you can truncate a thread and get to grist of a topic, please do not be afraid to step in earlier. As it is I feel I have had to spend most o...

ROTW:- I'm not trying to discredit your achievements at all. I've always said the best players are ones who use their own initiative. You need to learn to distinguish between intelligence and extroverted intuition. People either use introverted or extroverted intuition to varying degrees in their li...

ROTW:- Lol. Good post. Fair enough, just seemed very similar to the description David made of "being a player" before we met. Please bare this in mind though. Machines were much, much, much, easier back then. The things you described working out are all very basic things that a lot of aver...

I like the analogy Mav, rings very true.

ROTW:- That point is the only one which is relevant to the original post which comes across as thinly veiled self justifying rubbish from Trayhop. It's a very obvious point that people with major involvement in this game should have been jumping to make. It seems that the rest of the site seems to e...

Well ROTW, that thread was very much related to this. Part-time professionals, those kept in 'the loop' are also responsible for a lot of bad stuff happening. Just suppose there was a machine that was very good and profitable to myself, and there were three elements to my method: X, Y & Z. What...
