Very new to playing (online) slots. I just played eye of Horus at 20p a spin on Betfred. 96.3% rtp. After 50 spins I have not won anything, Not even 5p. Never had this before and stopped playing. Is this even possible?? I should of also received free spins the next day which didn't credit so feels like some kind of glitch.

Welcome to the Lazy Money UK Master List. This is intended to be the ultimate list of online money making opportunities available to UK users.
All platforms shown here have been personally tested and verified by Lazy Money UK.
This list is subject to regular review. New platforms will be added when payment proof is obtained. Platforms which later fall below acceptable quality standards will be removed.
Last review date: 25/04/2024

Surveys Tier 1 - Rapid Response [Low risk, high reward]

These surveys require immediate participation as they fill up quickly with other users. Catching them is a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

Platform	Description	Tips
OnePulse [Video]	Microsurvey app. Pulses pay from $0.07 up to $0.40 depending on user XP level. $20 minimum withdrawal.	Only Pulses sent by notification, or marked with a $ symbol are paid. Look out for e-mails containing links to extra paid Pulses.
Prolific [Video]	[May have waiting list.] Academic research site. Participate in psychological tasks, surveys and games to provide data for scientific studies. Cash out from £5 to PayPal.	Use the Prolific Assistant browser extension to be notified of new studies.

Surveys Tier 2 - Invitation Panels [Low risk, low reward]

These panels create their own surveys and invite users to participate by e-mail. As you are pre-selected for the survey, there is a very high chance of qualifying. The disadvantage of survey panels is the disproportionately high withdrawal threshold relative to the amount earned per survey. [Video]

Platform	Description	Tips
Google Opinion Rewards	Microsurvey app. iOS users paid automatically to PayPal from £2. Android users are "paid" in Google Play Store credit.	Android users can use their Google Play credit to complete mobile game offers on Swagbucks. [Video]
IntelliZoom	User interface testing surveys for $1 or $5 each. Also appears on survey routers under the name UserZoom. Surveys are paid individually to PayPal.	A lot of tests are for the Mercedes-Benz website, so say you are going to buy another luxury car soon.
OnePoll	Low-paid short surveys. £25 minimum withdrawal. You can manually access available surveys from a list on the site, in addition to the e-mail invitations.	Can (and should) be speedrun, but watch out for attention checks).
Opinium Research	[May be full.] £25 minimum withdrawal.
PaidViewpoint [Referral]	Pays in USD but works in the UK. $15 minimum withdrawal.
Premise [Video]	Not invitation based (you need to check manually), but they sometimes have exclusive 25p surveys. They never disqualify. Pays £10 to PayPal.	The surveys are released at midnight, and occasionally can still be caught the next morning. Also do the excellent 'Find the product' tasks for £3 each.
Viewsbank	Infrequent but worthwhile surveys. Pays monthly if balance exceeds £12.	Answer the 2 daily polls for a 12p total bonus (Monday to Friday only).
Y Live	Pays in increments of £1, up to £5 per survey. £50 minimum withdrawal.

Surveys Tier 3 - Router Platforms [High risk, low reward]

Despite the unethical conduct of survey routers (disqualifications, fake questions, broken links etc.), this type of survey can make a substantial amount of money, due to the sheer volume of opportunities available. It is recommended to pick out surveys which pay £1+, or at least a rate of 10p per minute. Ignore weak offerings like "30p for 20 minutes", unless you are attempting a speedrun.
This list only includes platforms with a unique selling point (such as a daily bonus) which helps to offset the poor experience incurred by using survey routers. Bland apps such as Attapoll or Curiosity Cat will not be featured.

Free Daily Casino Promo Games

Online gambling sites offer free-to-play promotional games. These give players a chance to win cash, or free tries on real casino games such as slots, roulette, or bingo.

Platform	Description	Tips
Betfair - Ball Scratcher	Match 3 symbols on the scratch card to win.
Betfair - Prize Pinball	Launch the ball and hope it lands in a prize slot.

Coral - Rewards Grabber	A claw grabber machine which gives the usual prizes, in addition to gold coins that you can exchange for casino bonuses of your choice.

Ladbrokes - Instant Spins	Spin the wheel to see if it will land on a prize.
Grosvenor - Coin Flip	Guess the outcome of a "heads or tails" coin flip to win a prize.	Bonuses on Grosvenor have a wagering requirement. You need to play through the cash value of the bonus a certain number of times e.g. 1x, to unlock it as withdrawable cash. This basically means you will need to get lucky and win a large amount from your initial bet, in order to have enough bankroll to play out the wagering requirement.
Tombola - Free Form	A tile matching game with cash prizes. There's a fair chance of winning 25p, but anything higher is extremely unlikely.	Register a withdrawal method BEFORE you win free cash, otherwise they will only let you cash out by cheque.
Tombola Arcade - Super Spins	A tile matching game with cash and casino bonuses as prizes.	Note that unlike other gambling sites, bonus funds are used up AFTER real cash from your account. Withdrawing real cash with forfeit the bonus credit. This renders bonus credit useless on Tombola sites.

Free Sports Betting Promo Games

Platform	Description	Tips

Ladbrokes - 1-2-Free	Guess the scores of three upcoming football matches. Get at least one right for a free bet, or £100 in cash for all three.	Remember to check if you were credited with a free bet.
Paddy Power - Beat The Drop [Video]	A game following the format of the TV game show The Million Pound Drop. Try to get your £5000 starting pot through 15 rounds of sports predictions. You can split it between outcomes to hedge your bets.	Follow this system to try and guarantee at least a £1 prize per playthrough.
Virgin Bet - FIVES	Reveal a real-life football player each day from Monday to Friday to create a team. Each goal your team members score in their upcoming matches will net you a cash prize (the value of which is determined by a wheel spin).	If you forget to claim a player one day, you can still do it the next day before 3pm.

I was doing some sums, (trying to at least, I'm terrible with math). I'm a pretty big deal, a high roller you might say, so obviously when I'm playing penny roulette (European) online the losses matter, winky face. I read advice that said you could simply Martingale after a loss but this turned out to be bad information... I kept noticing I'd be a few pence short of what I expected and decided to investigate..
I'm new to Roulette and having fun learning & experimenting with strategies, during play with the 'James Bond' system [Briefly for those unfamiliar it's: 1 chip on zero, 5 on line bet [13-18], and 14 on highs [19-36] - It's explained very well on several top google results].
I discovered that simply doubling the bet (as in the Martingale system) when you lose leaves you with a loss should you land on highs 19-36, the line bet on 13-18 is break even and zero is a profit. So 14p high, you get back 28p, but total bet is 20p - a healthy 8p profit, however lose and double from 14 to 28p to recoup and land on highs, you win56p, but you've spent 60p on the 2 bets, a devastating blow of minus 4p. Scale it up and it could be quite a tough loss.
I'd simply like to recover losses in this scenario, I have spending limits I like to stick to with gambling. The screen clip of a spreadsheet I made experimenting with how to distribute the chips on further bets in an attempt to recoup seem to add up, although it appears there's a point you get to when a small loss starts to become inevitable (5 losses in a row) although my longest losing streak has been 4 over about 700 spins . The sheet is fairly self explanatory but, the spread, total number of chips bet and the profit (I should have called balance) on the right are the ones to look at.
I log every result in a spreadsheet to look for patterns - If I understand correctly, the odds are always the same, 20 blacks in a row is no more likely to yield a red in the next 10 spins etc, but I do use it to make choices about when to bet and when to sit out all the same.
I hope someone finds this of use (if I got my sums right - please do double check) and I'm interested in other peoples experiences/opinions/advice in recovering from a loss when you land on 1-12 with the James Bond system, perhaps switching to 1:1 bets, red/black, odd/even after a streak of one of those result would be better? I'm not sure!
Thanks for taking time to read, and thanks in advance for any comments.

I’m 19,from the uk Currently studying in Cardiff uni. 6am right now starting at my laptop left with just my thoughts and 20p in my bank account. Started with just simple betting with mates or casino trips, now I’m probably down around 9-10k I literally can’t stop until all the money I have is gone on slots. Never liked blackjack or roulette, but slots are too extremely addicting. Literally anything I do is not fun or even gives me slight happiness anymore. My main source of income is some shitty store job , instantly whenever I get paid it all goes on slots and I can’t control it. Literally didn’t eat for 2 whole days because I had no money. This is awful. Horrific thoughts of just suicide as my brain is just so fucked up. Don’t know what to do, literally just want to end it all to be honest. Been close to a few times , but simply cannot bring myself to get the balls to do it. Funny thing is earlier got paid 350 and then got a 1.3k hit on something, withdrew it , literally said I’d never gamble again, and then now it’s all gone down the drain. Fuck my life, this shit has ruined me genuinely, any hopes or dreams or anything is just down the drain. Used to be happy before i started gambling, now all I’m left with is this is the idea that suicide is probably the only option. Don’t know what to do. Any help is appreciated.

So if you have a basic understanding of math, it should be easy to understand. I guess the thing which puts people off, is that it's not GUARANTEED profit every time. Basically there are 100s of casino sites, and many of them give you special offers, which can be done daily or weekly, or whenever they show up. For example "spend £20 on x slot game to receive 20 free spins" and let's say x slot game is 95% RTP (this means Return To Player, which means if you spend £100 on the slot , you should on average get £95 back. Roulette is 97% RTP, Blackjack is 99%) whatever the game is, the "House edge" is usually a few percent which is how the casinos make their money. You can of course spend only 10p on a slot and get a £1000 win sometimes, or you can spend £100 and expect to get around 95 back, but actually end up getting only like £5 back. There will be highs and lows, but over a long time of averages, you will get 95% back. That's the jist of it. But as you see the house always has the 5% edge.
BUT when you are doing special offers, (e.g spend £20 get 20 free spins) then it is YOU who has the "house edge". This is the most important thing to understand. Let's work it out. 95% of £20 is £19. free spins are usually worth 10p each, and 20 of them would (on average) expect to get you £1.90. So 19+1.90=20.90 you have just gained 90p of "expected value" (EV) Now the real world results are always going to vary, you could've gained much more than 90p profit or lost the whole £20, no matter what the results were, you gained your EV, which means you spent your money where YOU had the edge. You had the mathematicial advantage. So this example which I gave was a +90p EV offer. Now there are many, many +EV offers which you can do every day, you can smash them all out in a couple hours, £1 EV here, £5 EV there, even 20p ones are worth doing, since they only take a minute to do. (10 minutes = £2 / £12 an hour). I usually spend about 2-3 hours per evening just clicking on the spin wheels and counting how many times I've done it. And getting around £20 of EV per day. Some good days have a lot of offers going on and you can get +200, and some days can be quieter.
Understanding slots: most of them work like this, 80-90% of the time you get nothing, 10-20% of the time you get a random small amount of money, and 0.1-1% of the time you hit a "bonus round" which can pay out huge amounts. Now if you need to spend £20, you can set your spin bet size to 10p each, and do 200 spins, during which you're pretty likely to hit a bonus round at least once or twice, and make most of your money back. Many people prefer this way of completing offers, because it's quite unlikely to lose a lot of money. Or you can set your bets to £1 each, (or anything in between, or if you're absolutely insane you can do £20 each) meaning you're very likely to lose a lot of money, but a small chance of winning a few hundred or thousand quid. And you save time by doing 20 spins instead of 200. Changing the bet doesn't change the amount of EV that you gain. It just saves time. But you'll get much greater highs and lows. You can lose 1000s or win 1000s. Most people can't stomach the big losses, so most prefer to go the low-risk and time consuming way, and see their profits slowly and consistently building up, which is (personally) a lot more satisfying than having a mish-mash of big losses and big wins all over the place.
Other types of offers: a lot of sites do a "10% cashback on losses up to £100" offer, which at first seems absolutely stupid, I'm going to lose £100 to get £10 cashback, that does not seem enticing at all. BUT let's look at EV. Let's say I do this 200 times on different sites on different days, by playing blackjack which is the highest RTP game you can play. It's 99%. I will play a £100 blackjack hand 200 times. That means spending £20000, losing 101 times and winning 99 times. Meaning I'll be left with £19800. But look, losing 101 times, means getting 101 x £10 = £1010 leaving me with £20810. So this is +£810 of EV. Again, real results can be higher or lower, but remember YOU always have the edge so even in the unlikely event that you lose money don't give up and keep going, the law of averages is on your side.
Anyway, there are many types of casino related offers that don't only involve slots, there's also blackjack, roulette, slingo, scratchcards, etc.
Another VERY important thing is having the right mindset. You may have a bad day or even a bad week where all you're doing is losing money. This might make you feel angry or upset, and make you think "how tf is this possible, surely I'm due to win already, why is it endless losses ffs, there should be profits" and when you're in this mood you're probably more likely to go and throw some of your remaining money on a NON-EV activity. Eg. £100 blackjack hoping to win another £100 because "SURELY IM DUE TO WIN NOW AFTER SO MANY LOSSES, I DON'T DESERVE THIS, I NEED TO WIN MY MONEY BACK" ok so DO NOT EVER DO THIS, EVER. When you're spending money in casino, do ONLY +EV offers, and never touch it outside of that. Don't even think about it. You may have won a ton of money while spinning slots or whatever and thought "wow I just x100'd my money so easily, I want to do that again" No. Stop. Just don't. Please. Be sensible. Just look at it as numbers. If a game is 98% RTP and you spend £100, you've just thrown away £2 for no reason. You're literally throwing money away. So please do not ever spend money doing any non-EV activity. And do not ever "hope for a big win". Just do offers as normal and don't let emotions get in the way. The most difficult thing about all of this is handling losses, and accepting them, you just have to have faith in the math, and don't get mad/upset/do anything stupid
I find this much easier than matched betting, and more profitable. Another good part of this is that you can start with a small amount of cash, do only risk free/low risk offers, you can just withdraw any cash from any site and get it instantly, and move on to the next site. I find with matched betting your money is all tied up for a long time while you wait for the results. So if you don't have much money you can't really make much profit. Casino offers are all instant which I like. And I can do it all on my phone
I guess that's it for my guide. I've consistently made money every month for the past year. The least was £300, and the most was £2100. Average about 650. This is a very good thing which many of you are missing out on. Or too skeptical/scared to do. I use teamcasino which gives you a list of all the +EV offers you can do each day, I highly recommend it. It's definitely worth it. You can get a 10 day subscription for £1, and you can make another account and use a different payment method to get another 10 days for £1 and keep repeating. They have all of the info and fully comprehensive guides (much better written than what I've said here). I pay the £20 per month subscription because I feel like I'm paying for the information that they give me, and that information is worth way more than £20, it earns me 100s or 1000s per month so I don't mind just paying it, instead of making new accounts all the time. I just want to try to add something helpful to this subreddit instead of dumb stuff like sign up to this sketchy site and deposit £500 and leave it there for 12 months to earn £1 and referral link spam. Any questions write in comments.

33 offers for up to £568.18 cashback (£326.17 profit) through casino, gambling and free spins offers with TopCashback, Quidco and OhMyDosh

TopCashback, Quidco and OhMyDosh always have a number of gambling offers available, with the offered cashback amounts often changing daily or weekly. There are currently quite a few offers available on each where the cashback amount is more than the required deposit or wager amount, meaning you'll still end up in profit even if you lose your entire deposit.
I've done all of these and always keep an eye out for new offers or when the amounts change on existing ones, to make sure I can get the most for my money. There have recently been some new ones added and some of the existing ones have the highest cashback amounts I've seen for them before.
The first step is to sign up for the cashback sites if you haven't already. If you use a referral link to sign up then you can get an extra bonus once your cashback becomes payable:

• TopCashback referral link (£10 bonus) / non-ref link (no bonus)
• Quidco referral link (£10 bonus) / non-ref link (no bonus)
• OhMyDosh referral link (£1 bonus) / non-ref link (no bonus)

I'd really appreciate it if you use my links to sign up as I'll also receive a bonus when you do.
Then the next step is to work through the offers. These are all only available for new customers, so if you already have an account with one of the sites then you won't be eligible for the offer from them unfortunately.
It's also worth checking the terms as some have specific wagering requirements, for example low risk roulette bets (covering 25 or more of the 37 outcomes) are often excluded from counting towards the wager. Generally if you are required to deposit then you'll also be required to wager the full deposit, even if this is not explicitly stated.

If you complete all these offers then you should receive £568.18 cashback through the offers alone, with £326.17 of that being profit. There's also a chance you can make a profit on any or all of the offers and walk away with even more, but this of course is not guaranteed.
There's also a final few key points:

• Make sure you have all ad blockers and tracking protection switched off as otherwise this may lead to issues with the cashback tracking correctly.
• Please Be Gamble Aware when using these sites.
• I've listed the highest paying in terms of deposit/wager to cashback offers here, but if you have a preference for one cashback site over the other then they often offer very similar amounts if you'd rather go with the other instead.
• Similarly, some sites (OhMyDosh in particular) offer a lower cashback amount but also a lower deposit/wager amount, which may be more appealing to some.
• Some of the offers may require a premium subscription to receive the mentioned amount. I wrote a guide to maximising cashback that explains these.
• I don't like to say the cashback is guaranteed as all the cashback sites say it never is, but I've never had an issue with any of these sites, whether through gambling or other offers.
• Please be aware that these all these offers all are gambling, so I'd highly recommend depositing and wagering only the mimimum amount required to get the cashback, then withdrawing any profit you may have made, to avoid losing money on any of them.
• As sillywolfpls mentioned on a previous post, there is a blackjack strategy that is the safest in terms of returning the maximum amount of your wager, explained here.

33 offers for up to £548.32 cashback (£326.31 profit) through casino, gambling and free spins offers with TopCashback, Quidco and OhMyDosh

TopCashback, Quidco and OhMyDosh always have a number of gambling offers available, with the offered cashback amounts often changing daily or weekly. There are currently quite a few offers available on each where the cashback amount is more than the required deposit or wager amount, meaning you'll still end up in profit even if you lose your entire deposit.
I've done all of these and always keep an eye out for new offers or when the amounts change on existing ones, to make sure I can get the most for my money. There have recently been some new ones added and some of the existing ones have the highest cashback amounts I've seen for them before.
The first step is to sign up for the cashback sites if you haven't already. If you use a referral link to sign up then you can get an extra bonus once your cashback becomes payable:

• TopCashback referral link (£10 bonus) / non-ref link (no bonus)
• Quidco referral link (£10 bonus) / non-ref link (no bonus)
• OhMyDosh referral link (£1 bonus) / non-ref link (no bonus)

I'd really appreciate it if you use my links to sign up as I'll also receive a bonus when you do.
Then the next step is to work through the offers. These are all only available for new customers, so if you already have an account with one of the sites then you won't be eligible for the offer from them unfortunately.
It's also worth checking the terms as some have specific wagering requirements, for example low risk roulette bets (covering 25 or more of the 37 outcomes) are often excluded from counting towards the wager. Generally if you are required to deposit then you'll also be required to wager the full deposit, even if this is not explicitly stated.

IF IM RIGHT ALL ROBINHOOD SHARES WERE SYNTHETIC
Author & Resarch question
I’m a smooth brained ape, but a long time poker player and a gambler, and I’m pretty damn sure that I’m not the only Ape that has played poker.
My understanding of the stockmarket and of money is basically from the million or so hands I’ve played NL Hold’em and PL Omaha. If that number of hands sounds high to you, the explanation is that I used to 16 table on the internet, raking in tens of thousands of hands a month. Even though I’m a winning player by far, my attitude towards money can be summed up as:
”Take money from poker and blast it away to drink, online slots and fun bets.”
AMC is one of only real investments I’ve done, and I admit that this whole DD is pure speculation. All the ideas presented are just that. With that said, if I’m right the amount of synthetic shares on the market far exceeds our wildest imagination. TL;DR; Hold. We’re going to the moon and the market is filled with synthetics.
This whole post will explain how I reached this conclusion. And the whole thinking behind it. I will give several examples of how The Internet has changed markets it has disrupted. My question however is rather simple and burning:
What if all Robinhood shares were synthetic?
PREMISES:
IF
They placed a short against their own customer, and
IF
a large number of customers made a profitable bet at the same time, and
IF
the shares we’re in fact derivatives
_________________________________________________________________
The logical conclusion is:
That they are fucked up beyond all recovery.
IF YOU ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN WHAT MY RESULT WILL BE, JUMP TO NUMBER 4 or 5. I DON’T EVEN KNOW BECAUSE I’VE GOT A BANANA IN MY BRAIN.
1. Betting against the customer: EV, Profitability, Sustainability, Casino Mechanics and the like
When betting on any casino game, the house always wins, because they have a positive expected value or EV.
This means that when you bet on any of the possible placements on a roulette board you lose money in the long run. Because it’s a zero-sum game, customer has to lose in order for the house to win.
You get paid x 36 when betting on a single number in roulette, but there are 37 total numbers. EV:
36/37 = 0,973%
This means that for every dollar you bet you get 97 cents back. The same logic applies to the entire roulette board, no matter how you place your bets. Explained here.
When a casino is playing small stakes with an unlimited number of roulette players, the meaning of EV+ is the same as profitable, because the game is also sustainable.
However, casinos typically place betting limits. You cannot bet 200 million dollars on a single number anywhere in the world, because the casino could go bust if that ~3% risk triggers. Even though the bet is EV+ it’s not profitable, because it’s not sustainable.
Most people know that the house always wins, and that’s why games like poker are so popular. In poker you play against other players, and the house takes their cut (known as the rake). No matter what the stakes are, the house has no money at risk. Due to the fact that players are facing each other a player can win in the long run. Even though EV+ is generally understood as profitable there is a difference here. Poker can be profitable, because it must also be sustainable. There are situations where the bet is lucrative, but it can be absolutely brutal if you lose, and to avoid this poker players use bankroll management techniques.
In Hold’em the best hand is pocket aces. They fare extremely well even when played multiway. For example against a random assortment of suited and paired hands:
Hold'em Simulation
1,086,008 trials (Exhaustive)
Hand Equity Wins Ties
A♠ A♦ 49.34% 535,430 1,643
7♠ 6♠ 14.10% 152,743 1,643
T♥ J♥ 21.53% 233,440 1,643
5♣ 5♠ 15.02% 162,752 1,643
However EV+, the profitability changes if the player holding AA has placed his entire bankroll on the line. If he loses the first bet, he cannot go back to the “infinite repetitions” that he needs in order to win his money back. The variety of similar statistical situations have been discussed with “Gamblers ruin”.
If you could run it a million times, you should always take it, but if it’s your entire bankroll this is extremely risky.
In other words, even if you had AA for one bet, you shouldn’t bet your house, car, wife and her boyfriend, because while the bet is profitable it is not sustainable**!**
2. BEFORE APE TRAINING GROUNDS: ONLINE POKER
“The Poker Boom” was an event in the early 2000s, where hundreds of thousands of players flocked to online poker and live tournaments, and tournament games such as WSOP and WPT were featured on sports channels everywhere. The market rose yearly by 400% and the amount of players doubled every year.
This however did not only change the amount of players, but also how the game was played. While traditional professional techniques were pretty much “Tight and aggressive” the games became looser and hyper-aggressive. This is well summarized by this video where two players just raise each other with nothing. (Phil Ivey vs. Paul Jackson Q8-bluff)
The broader change in playstyle has been attributed to the internet. Any online site is a far tougher environment to play in than any local casino due to simple math. While a brick-and-mortar casino draws players from the immediate physical vicinity of the casino, online draws players from all over the world. The rule of thumb in poker is that in 9 players there is 1 winner, 1 who breaks even and 7 others who lose in the long run. Because of sharks packing up in online poker rooms the poorer players soon go bust as their relative number goes down. In a table with one shark and 8 fish even a fish can win, while they get absolutely eaten when the amount goes to 4 sharks and 5 fish.
This obviously drives the game to an even more aggressive direction – while traditional professional poker players were the “tough gambler”-type in a backwoods barn, this new Internet kid played at home. The Internet kid might be a complete geek, but then again a crazy gambler because he knows that it is the way. While older gamblers were somewhat risk averse, the new kids were crazier, sicker, faster and far more risk taking than the craziest gamblers of 1970s. At the same time poker tools, such as calculators, online coaching, video lessons, data mining, online HUDS and the like became far more available.
Many of the old pros went bust, because their game (business model) was made outdated by the INTERNET!
The poker boom is however smaller of the two events.
3. APE TRAINING GROUND: HODL!!!!
Post 2008 crash Bitcoin appeared and began everything. During the last 10 years cryptos have turned into a major market force. The volatility of the crypto market is off the rails compared to traditional investing. A house priced 100k today won’t be 10k in one year or 4 million in two years. However the price of bitcoin seems to be completely detached from this reality.
Because of this massive volatility – which once again appears because of the internet and decentralization – people weren’t holding just to sell when it gains some 25%. They were holding when it goes 10000%.
Everyone knows the sick run of Bitcoin, but many don’t understand how long and with what kind of conviction those people held to the coins during the storm. I know some people who made a fortune, but dropped out well before 5k and 10k. Considering that I’m looking at this from a back wood that doesn’t exist in northern Europe I can’t even guess what kind of effect it has had in the states.
I’m pretty sure many apes have at least some knowledge or familiarity with the crypto market. Especially when looking at the WSB degenerates the mentality with which they make option bets they seem to be seasoned in a completely different marinade than the previous generation of traders. Crypto trained those diamond hands. It’s the same thing that happened with poker players:
Crypto traders are often retail traders – however they are not the mom & pop retail traders of the past!
4. Gamify: How Robinhood fucked themselves
The Robinhood app has been criticized for gamifying the stock market and turning it into a glorified betfred. This obviously was not an accident, this was by design.
From what I’ve gathered the Robinhood (and by extension Citadel) gains were based on their customers losing money. When the customer bought a share they didn’t necessarily provide a real share, but instead turned it into a synthetic (derivative). The stocks bought may have in reality been just derivatives which were worth the same as the stock in question, but they were not the stock. At the same time they bought a short position in the stock, basically guaranteeing that when the stock went down they could pocket the difference.
So they made an easy to use platform that drew traders who did not even know what quality was. And this drew a lot of customers. And you know what kind of customers flocked into Robinhood? Yup, people who were into gambling with stocks. And that’s how they fucked themselves. They got too popular.
If I’m understanding derivatives correctly, basically because the contract is about money anyone of us could issue "fake shares". I could literally write “AMC” on a piece of paper and sell it to someone for 20$ by making a promise that I will pay a fair market price whatever it may be. The buyer wouldn’t know the difference, as long as they would use my own internet service, since there is absolutely no real proof of purchase, other than the money in their account, which is indexed to follow the price of the stock. The idea was that if the bet went south, Robinhood could always as a provider just buy the share from the market. And same applies when a customer transfers to an another brocker. And if he sold his fake share back to Robinhood, they wouldn't need to interact with the market at all.
Since retail investors on a huge average will sell at a loss, and I’m also playing against them, I will turn a profit. There was a precent for this kind of practice in the United States before the 2008 crash, where companies could turn a profit by scalping it off their customers. According to my memory this was discussed in the film Inside Job (2010). While I cannot remember if the mechanic was the same, the idea seems to be very similiar.
In principle this works really well. The stock market is so large and it has so many actors that one broker betting against a single customer won’t have a major effect on it. And since absolutely nothing changed after the 2008 crash there would be no reason for them to change their business practices? Why would they? They were raking in money like pigs eating perls. They got away with murder, so they kept doing it. There was absolutely no reason for them to be scared, after United States justice system proved that papertigers don’t touch pigs.
Because there was no punishment, no lessons were learnt after 2008. Like back then - the risk can be small, even one in a billion or scarcer, but if you take it enough times, it will one day trigger. If enough people made a bet against Robinhood by being their customer, and IF those people made massive gains, and IF those people wouldn’t sell when the price was driven down Robinhood would be fucked. An insignificantly small risk can trigger a catastrophically big event – this is the central idea of Nassim Nicolas Talebs “The Black Swan”.
Taleb points out that economic data is propelled by the past – so it fundamentally cannot take into account things that have never happened before. This is a bias that can be found especially in events that have “fat tails”. Things that have never happened before? Like a bunch of crayon eating primates making a massive bet together?
The hedgies fundamentally misunderstood The crucial part of the internet which I’ve mentioned already a couple times. The internet is worldwide. Information flows freely and movements and people can connect at a speed which far exceeds the physical world. And the internet is now in your pocket. This has to be the very first time in history where the majority of trades of a major economic event have been executed from smartphones!

5. Trading in the internet era & WSB: Buy the dip faggot
​
The shift from home security to cybersecurity is best explained in this CGP grey video. The principle goes that since the internet is worldwide any lock on the internet has to be made against all the cybercriminals of the world. But this same principle applies to all of internet – it can gather people from all over the world under a united banner.
Since in a poker game the house takes value from players facing each other, the size of the game does not matter. A man who’s bust could easily deal a 100 000$ game. Robinhood however seems to have been actively betting against their customer. The hedgiecucks clearly thought that they were facing a retail investor – your garden variety mom & pa kind of person. A retail trader who’s risk averse, Ill-informed and easily scared by the news. However they don’t seem to have realized that by betting against the customer, they were essentially playing roulette. Their bets were EV+, so they thought it was also profitable and sustainable. They thought they had no money at risk, because the risk was insignificantly small.
However small, the risk was always there. The major risk in this system was that even if those bets they were making were generally EV+ in an instance where a too large number of customers got gains at the same time, they would go bust! A bit like a million apes betting on the same roulette number at the same time!
The sick trades on the internet were popularized over at wallstreetbets and the Big Boss Video on the subject is absolutely hilarious. When the pandemic hit planet earth, the Hedgies targeted GME and AMC with short-attacks. It was a no brainer – both are large retail companies with large running costs – they would go down because of their size and inability maneuver.
However, you all know that they delved too greedily and too deep*.* You know what they awoke in the darkness.
After DeepFuckingValues original DD a large number of these WSB degenerates jumped on board, and the situation drove the gamma squeeze of Jan 2021. What I find extremely interesting is that a vast majority of all WSB investors were signed up on Robinhood. This would mean something like 1 million fuckers we’re by accident exploiting the major loophole in the RH hedging strategy I mentioned earlier. I think this situation is not created only by GME being shorted, but by a extremely risky business model that RH was built on.
They never probably thought to get so big, and by getting big they thought they were getting stronger, when as a matter of fact this very size made RH a fucking death star with a degenerate sized exhaust vent in it.
My point is that this situation was not created only by a some hedgefunds, but the very weakness lay in RH themselves. If I’m a 200 million dollar company with some mom & pa customers, I can open a short position against all of them, since my own liquidity far covers whatever gains they can make and my customers generally lose money.
However if instead of that I’m a 20 billion dollar company, and a million degenerate fuckers place a over $1k bet on GME and I counter-short all of them, the situation changes, because their control of the float makes my short positions extremely risky. And if they all win, it's game over.
And if this is automated, I might notice not what’s wrong way until way, way too late.
I knew some poker pros in the early 2010s. People who played high stakes poker live and online. I know a guy who won a 150 000 tournament, and a couple years later went bust. I know guys who played slots with a 100$ bet a spin, and nowdays I can find them playing a 200$ poker game. I’ve seen guys who had it all, and just kept on gambling. The problem is that gamblers dont really play for money, they play for the status and identity. I think it's the same with Robinhood execs and Wall Street in general - its not the money, money just defines who they are. I think that Robinhood did simply not realise that the business model was very profitable, but not sustainable in the long run.
Lets imagine for a moment that we are Vlad Tenev. He has founded a 200 mil company in 2013 and 8 years later it is worth 20 billion. Is Vlad still careful? Is he still second guessing his decisions, doing DD’s, thinking carefully? Or is he like Tarquin in Star Wars: A New Hope? Does he think he has it made, full of ill placed hubris, combined with an elevated sense of invulnerability and self importance?

6. Derivative shares: What happens when the customer transfers?
It seems to have been established that the Robinhood shares were at least to some extent synthetic shares. At this point everyone should get their tinfoil hat and couple crayons ready. We are drifting farther to speculation!!!
I have proposed several things:
· Betting against customer
· No betting limits
· Synthetic shares (Derivatives)
· Internet changes markets and market-like-games
From my point of view it seems that the idea of the Robinhood derivative platform was that they could always buy the shares that they need from the market. And this was plausible, they could afterall always get them. Unless a bunch of degenerate primates had bought the entire float. Their problem skyrocketed once they could no longer turn the fake GME/AMC shares into real ones through the market. I think this risk was at the heart of their whole business model.
Because they themselves owned too many shorts. Because they had sold too many synthetic shares. Just the shares in RH could’ve exceeded the markets ability to keep the price down.
They perhaps thought that could weather the risk with spoofing, PFOF, Dark pools and the usual sorcery, or so they seem to have thought. The problem here becomes, that while Robinhood has probably factored somewhat their *own* risk, they necessarily did not realize that the risk they took was not the same risk as everyone else. That they were in a far stronger position, and due to this the problem started to spread.
There has been discussion that Robinhood was margin called in January. I believe that the reason why they halted the trading was that someone else got margin called, and the dominoes started to fall. They had to drive the price the fuck down before the rocket fuel ignites.
Robinhood or Citadel were not margin called, but somebody was!
It is very unlikely that a Hedge fund like Citadel would start crumbling just because of this. But it might be, that instead the price increase was driving someone else to bankruptcy. Some smaller hedgefund or bank - and if even that small one fell it would cause a full chain reaction triggering the squeeze.
I can just imagine the phone call that Vlad got:
“Drive the price down or we are completely fucked, all of us.”
This is the only good explanation that I’ve ever heard for the stopping buying on the platform – they did it as a last resort. They knew that the backlash would be massive. Whatever caused it, the most likely place where this can be found is inside Robinhood. It has to be something to do with the way RH interacts with their own customers. They have to have a foot in it, since they had the power to control it.
January 2021 should be revered in history by the fucking greatest diamonds hands of all time. I cannot but salute the people who held when the price sank. When the bastards grinded the price down by halting buying, there was a fuckload of GME/AMC degenerates who did not let go. They simply looked at the math and said:
“FUCK THE PRICE IM FUCKING HOLDING THESE SHARES WITH MY DIAMOND HANDS”
Just think about what kind of commitment and sheer power of will it takes to see an investment crumble to dust and still believe that the shorts did not cover. That it’s not over. Risking millions of dollars for a fucking pipe dream. But they held. The fud did not work. Nothing worked.
And now people started moving shares out of RH.
7. Derivative shares: What happens when the customer transfers?
After RH shut down the trading there was a major escape from RH to other traders. IF the shares were not real, this is the point where they had lost.
Since the price was already highly deflated, by transferring the leavers “pump” their stock for a second time. While RH business plan was always to just pay the *price* of a single share, they probably soon realized that once people transferring out would want the actual shares in their new account.
Do you see where I’m going with this?
If the shares were derivatives RH would have to find them on the market if someone transfers out! This would effectively give it volatility that they could not control.
We all know that in early march there were 3.2 million apes in US and Canada alone. Majority of people probably signed up on RH since it was such a popular and easy to use platform. Funnily enough – they had too many customers that were on Reddit. They never anticipated that this concentration of people, force and capital could be possible. Because it has not been possible for that long, only for some 10 years!
Reddit started after 2008 for real! It was still a new thing back in 2014!
So when those Reddit investors leave Robinhood the market gets absolutely flooded with synthetic shares. This would explain the number of apes and the number of shares in the free float. Many have pointed out there are plausible estimates that the number of Apes is somewhere in the 5million+ range. If every ape holds only some 90 shares that’s already the float. And many have over 1000! Some over 10000!
I’ve ran the math in my head so many times, and the estimations that I can come up with, just don’t add up. But there’s even a bigger thing that doesn’t add up. It’s my gut.
Owning 90 shares per ape makes my skin crawl. I’m literally thinking about about it now, and I can feel a rush building in my spine. This FEELS just like poker, just when I’m about to make the right decision.
Not to base this on pure emotion, but this just feels so fucking right. And if those feelings are right…
WE’RE FIRST GOING TO THE MOON!
THEN
WE’RE GOING TO FUCKING ANDROMEDA!!!!!
Hold.
My brothers and sisters, apes of all sizes and colors. I do not know you, I can never know you all, since we are millions, but I am you. I have lived in the shade of the same tree, and I know what you know, and I feel what you feel. In the words of my generation:
“Good morning. In less than a short seller can shit his pants, apes from here will join others from around the world. And we will be launching the largest financial battle in the history of apekind.
Apekind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
You will once again be HODLING for our tendies, our wives boyfriends and for our economic freedom, not only from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from the short selling cucks of wall street!
We're HODLING for our right to eat tendies on the moon.
And should we win the fight, the day will not only known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not let go of our shares!
We will not vanish without a HODL!
We're going with a wroom!
We're going to the moon!"
When celebrate our Economic Independence Day!
This is pure financial speculation and I’m not an advisor, and I just ate 8 crayons.
Patientia omnia vincit. Illegitimi non carborundum
(Patience conquers all. Don’t let the bastards grind you down.)

For some fucking reason I've been shadowbanned and whatever I post, isn't seen by anyone.
Author & Resarch question
I’m a smooth brained ape, but a long time poker player and a gambler, and I’m pretty damn sure that I’m not the only Ape that has played poker.
My understanding of the stockmarket and of money is basically from the million or so hands I’ve played NL Hold’em and PL Omaha. If that number of hands sounds high to you, the explanation is that I used to 16 table on the internet, raking in tens of thousands of hands a month. Even though I’m a winning player by far, my attitude towards money can be summed up as:
”Take money from poker and blast it away to drink, online slots and fun bets.”
AMC is one of only real investments I’ve done, and I admit that this whole DD is pure speculation. All the ideas presented are just that. With that said, if I’m right the amount of synthetic shares on the market far exceeds our wildest imagination. TL;DR; Hold. We’re going to the moon and the market is filled with synthetics.
This whole post will explain how I reached this conclusion. And the whole thinking behind it. I will give several examples of how The Internet has changed markets it has disrupted. My question however is rather simple and burning:
What if all Robinhood shares were synthetic?

The logical conclusion is:
That they are fucked up beyond all recovery.
IF YOU ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN WHAT MY RESULT WILL BE, JUMP TO NUMBER 4 or 5. I DON’T EVEN KNOW BECAUSE I’VE GOT A BANANA IN MY BRAIN.
1. Betting against the customer: EV, Profitability, Sustainability, Casino Mechanics and the like
When betting on any casino game, the house always wins, because they have a positive expected value or EV.
This means that when you bet on any of the possible placements on a roulette board you lose money in the long run. Because it’s a zero-sum game, customer has to lose in order for the house to win.
You get paid x 36 when betting on a single number in roulette, but there are 37 total numbers. EV:
36/37 = 0,973%
This means that for every dollar you bet you get 97 cents back. The same logic applies to the entire roulette board, no matter how you place your bets. Explained here.
When a casino is playing small stakes with an unlimited number of roulette players, the meaning of EV+ is the same as profitable, because the game is also sustainable.
However, casinos typically place betting limits. You cannot bet 200 million dollars on a single number anywhere in the world, because the casino could go bust if that ~3% risk triggers. Even though the bet is EV+ it’s not profitable, because it’s not sustainable.
Most people know that the house always wins, and that’s why games like poker are so popular. In poker you play against other players, and the house takes their cut (known as the rake). No matter what the stakes are, the house has no money at risk. Due to the fact that players are facing each other a player can win in the long run. Even though EV+ is generally understood as profitable there is a difference here. Poker can be profitable, because it must also be sustainable. There are situations where the bet is lucrative, but it can be absolutely brutal if you lose, and to avoid this poker players use bankroll management techniques.
In Hold’em the best hand is pocket aces. They fare extremely well even when played multiway. For example against a random assortment of suited and paired hands:
Hold'em Simulation
1,086,008 trials (Exhaustive)
Hand Equity Wins Ties
A♠ A♦ 49.34% 535,430 1,643
7♠ 6♠ 14.10% 152,743 1,643
T♥ J♥ 21.53% 233,440 1,643
5♣ 5♠ 15.02% 162,752 1,643
However EV+, the profitability changes if the player holding AA has placed his entire bankroll on the line. If he loses the first bet, he cannot go back to the “infinite repetitions” that he needs in order to win his money back. The variety of similar statistical situations have been discussed with “Gamblers ruin”.
If you could run it a million times, you should always take it, but if it’s your entire bankroll this is extremely risky.
In other words, even if you had AA for one bet, you shouldn’t bet your house, car, wife and her boyfriend, because while the bet is profitable it is not sustainable**!**
2. BEFORE APE TRAINING GROUNDS: ONLINE POKER
“The Poker Boom” was an event in the early 2000s, where hundreds of thousands of players flocked to online poker and live tournaments, and tournament games such as WSOP and WPT were featured on sports channels everywhere. The market rose yearly by 400% and the amount of players doubled every year.
This however did not only change the amount of players, but also how the game was played. While traditional professional techniques were pretty much “Tight and aggressive” the games became looser and hyper-aggressive. This is well summarized by this video where two players just raise each other with nothing. (Phil Ivey vs. Paul Jackson Q8-bluff)
The broader change in playstyle has been attributed to the internet. Any online site is a far tougher environment to play in than any local casino due to simple math. While a brick-and-mortar casino draws players from the immediate physical vicinity of the casino, online draws players from all over the world. The rule of thumb in poker is that in 9 players there is 1 winner, 1 who breaks even and 7 others who lose in the long run. Because of sharks packing up in online poker rooms the poorer players soon go bust as their relative number goes down. In a table with one shark and 8 fish even a fish can win, while they get absolutely eaten when the amount goes to 4 sharks and 5 fish.
This obviously drives the game to an even more aggressive direction – while traditional professional poker players were the “tough gambler”-type in a backwoods barn, this new Internet kid played at home. The Internet kid might be a complete geek, but then again a crazy gambler because he knows that it is the way. While older gamblers were somewhat risk averse, the new kids were crazier, sicker, faster and far more risk taking than the craziest gamblers of 1970s. At the same time poker tools, such as calculators, online coaching, video lessons, data mining, online HUDS and the like became far more available.
Many of the old pros went bust, because their game (business model) was made outdated by the INTERNET!
The poker boom is however smaller of the two events.
3. APE TRAINING GROUND: HODL!!!!
Post 2008 crash Bitcoin appeared and began everything. During the last 10 years cryptos have turned into a major market force. The volatility of the crypto market is off the rails compared to traditional investing. A house priced 100k today won’t be 10k in one year or 4 million in two years. However the price of bitcoin seems to be completely detached from this reality.
Because of this massive volatility – which once again appears because of the internet and decentralization – people weren’t holding just to sell when it gains some 25%. They were holding when it goes 10000%.
Everyone knows the sick run of Bitcoin, but many don’t understand how long and with what kind of conviction those people held to the coins during the storm. I know some people who made a fortune, but dropped out well before 5k and 10k. Considering that I’m looking at this from a back wood that doesn’t exist in northern Europe I can’t even guess what kind of effect it has had in the states.
I’m pretty sure many apes have at least some knowledge or familiarity with the crypto market. Especially when looking at the WSB degenerates the mentality with which they make option bets they seem to be seasoned in a completely different marinade than the previous generation of traders. Crypto trained those diamond hands. It’s the same thing that happened with poker players:
Crypto traders are often retail traders – however they are not the mom & pop retail traders of the past!
4. Gamify: How Robinhood fucked themselves
The Robinhood app has been criticized for gamifying the stock market and turning it into a glorified betfred. This obviously was not an accident, this was by design.
From what I’ve gathered the Robinhood (and by extension Citadel) gains were based on their customers losing money. When the customer bought a share they didn’t necessarily provide a real share, but instead turned it into a synthetic (derivative). The stocks bought may have in reality been just derivatives which were worth the same as the stock in question, but they were not the stock. At the same time they bought a short position in the stock, basically guaranteeing that when the stock went down they could pocket the difference.
So they made an easy to use platform that drew traders who did not even know what quality was. And this drew a lot of customers. And you know what kind of customers flocked into Robinhood? Yup, people who were into gambling with stocks. And that’s how they fucked themselves. They got too popular.
If I’m understanding derivatives correctly, basically because the contract is about money anyone of us could issue "fake shares". I could literally write “AMC” on a piece of paper and sell it to someone for 20$ by making a promise that I will pay a fair market price whatever it may be. The buyer wouldn’t know the difference, as long as they would use my own internet service, since there is absolutely no real proof of purchase, other than the money in their account, which is indexed to follow the price of the stock. The idea was that if the bet went south, Robinhood could always as a provider just buy the share from the market. And same applies when a customer transfers to an another brocker. And if he sold his fake share back to Robinhood, they wouldn't need to interact with the market at all.
Since retail investors on a huge average will sell at a loss, and I’m also playing against them, I will turn a profit. There was a precent for this kind of practice in the United States before the 2008 crash, where companies could turn a profit by scalping it off their customers. According to my memory this was discussed in the film Inside Job (2010). While I cannot remember if the mechanic was the same, the idea seems to be very similiar.
In principle this works really well. The stock market is so large and it has so many actors that one broker betting against a single customer won’t have a major effect on it. And since absolutely nothing changed after the 2008 crash there would be no reason for them to change their business practices? Why would they? They were raking in money like pigs eating perls. They got away with murder, so they kept doing it. There was absolutely no reason for them to be scared, after United States justice system proved that papertigers don’t touch pigs.
Because there was no punishment, no lessons were learnt after 2008. Like back then - the risk can be small, even one in a billion or scarcer, but if you take it enough times, it will one day trigger. If enough people made a bet against Robinhood by being their customer, and IF those people made massive gains, and IF those people wouldn’t sell when the price was driven down Robinhood would be fucked. An insignificantly small risk can trigger a catastrophically big event – this is the central idea of Nassim Nicolas Talebs “The Black Swan”.
Taleb points out that economic data is propelled by the past – so it fundamentally cannot take into account things that have never happened before. This is a bias that can be found especially in events that have “fat tails”. Things that have never happened before? Like a bunch of crayon eating primates making a massive bet together?
The hedgies fundamentally misunderstood The crucial part of the internet which I’ve mentioned already a couple times. The internet is worldwide.

Many have pointed out there are plausible estimates Apes that are somewhere in the 5million+ range. If every ape holds only some 90 shares that’s already the float. And many have over 1000! Some over 10000!
I’ve ran the math in my head so many times, and the estimations that I can come up with, just don’t add up. But there’s even a bigger thing that doesn’t add up. It’s my gut.
Owning 90 shares per ape makes my skin crawl. I’m literally thinking about about it now, and I can feel a rush building in my spine. This FEELS just like poker, just when I’m about to make the right decision.
Not to base this on pure emotion, but this just feels so fucking right. And if those feelings are right…
WE’RE FIRST GOING TO THE MOON!
THEN
WE’RE GOING TO FUCKING ANDROMEDA!!!!!
Hold.
My brothers and sisters, apes of all sizes and colors. I do not know you, I can never know you all, since we are millions, but I am you. I have lived in the shade of the same tree, and I know what you know, and I feel what you feel. In the words of my generation:
“Good morning. In less than a short seller can shit his pants, apes from here will join others from around the world. And we will be launching the largest financial battle in the history of apekind.
Apekind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
You will once again be HODLING for our tendies, our wives boyfriends and for our economic freedom, not only from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from the short selling cucks of wall street!
We're HODLING for our right to eat tendies on the moon.
And should we win the fight, the day will not only known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not let go of our shares!
We will not vanish without a HODL!
We're going with a wroom!
We're going to the moon!"
When celebrate our Economic Independence Day!
This is pure financial speculation and I’m not an advisor, and I just ate 8 crayons.
Patientia omnia vincit. Illegitimi non carborundum
(Patience conquers all. Don’t let the bastards grind you down.)

Due to the rapid growth of online gaming technology and accessibility to faster and more reliable internet, there has been a rapid rise of internet gaming over the past decade. Thanks to 7 reels, gambling as we knew it has completely changed, especially since there’s much more convenience from playing at home and on the go. Unlike traditional mechanical slots and casino games like poker, skill-based games appeal to younger generations, often referred to as Millennials. Today, we take a closer look at what these games are about.

Skill-based Casinos Games

In their most basic sense like in https://roulettessgames.com/20p-roulette/ , skill-based games are types of games where players with more experience in playing often have an advantage. If you play skill-based games, you can use proven strategies and techniques to win, without the fear of getting banned from the gaming platform. Furthermore, there’s also a chance that some playing styles could be more successful over and over again.
Poker is the most popular kind of skill-based casino game, where players get to compete against each other rather than the house dealer. Games like blackjack and baccarat are often thought to be about the skill to some extent, but they are more about chance mainly because you’re playing against the dealer.
Other than poker, fantasy sports and eSports are the other most popular skill games, and amongst millennials, they are even more popular than poker. Fantasy sports are typically pegged on a player’s ability to assemble a virtual team from real-world professional sports players that’s better than their opponents to get an edge. eSports, on the other hand, is a video gaming competition based on organized multiplayer tournaments where professional players often play against each other.
While games like poker have always been in casino platforms, Fantasy sports and eSports have just been recently recognized and are now catching up quite fast.
