@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf you have discretionary funds try gambling with it, for some fun, but allow a portion of your funds for investments...”Pay yourself first”.👍
The best odds lie with the chap who doesn't gamble and invests his money in bricks and mortar.

Add gold and silver to that portfolio and you can't lose.
All 3 will always have value.
Obviously everyone knows I am a penniless bum but I used to be into the whole financial world back in the day.
Oh and Work is for Suckers 😉
-Removed-I remember that.
I find it hard to believe anyone believed it.
I don't remember the first post about it but I do remember it felt like a joke.
Fun Fact: The people affected by the joke are actually admitting they really care about FMF.
My death notice wouldn't get a mention... probably a lot of green thumbs though.
You should find that first post and show us?
Ultimately based on luck and even I can beat the best in the world on a day... eventually... but the fact that the best players usually make it to the final tables would suggest a level of skill and strategy.
It's just so boring. The regular 5 card with a draw or two is lame and Texas hold'em is more fun but still boring.
It's usually just people with money to waste who enjoy being watched because they have money to waste.
The track is a lot more fun. Dogs and honorable jockies.
@fmf saidHe’ll get his comeuppance. Although Republicans are doing everything in their power to paper over his, and their, malfeasances, the truth will out, and future historians will vilify Donald Trump.
Bad? Well it carried him to the U.S. presidency. Love him or loathe him, if he achieved that through self-promotion despite a lack of substance, then it was good for him and for the tens of millions of people he inspired.
The Kardashians are another example of rampant self-promotion without any substance behind it. ‘Famous for being famous,’ as they are known.
@moonbus saidI don't have any respect Trump either, but - regardless of that - and regardless of what may happen to him - self promotion has not been "bad" for him; it has made him the most famous man in the world ~ which is no doubt exactly what he wanted.

Like the Kardashians, he is only famous for being famous. His tax returns show that he isn’t even a good businessman; he avoids taxes by losing hundreds of millions year in year out. Yet he lives the rich life. I guess you call that a kind of success, after all. Yeah, and his trophy wife, too. I wouldn’t trade lives or wives with him if you paid me.

Unlike the Kardashians, he is famous for having been the U.S. president, the leader of the free world, commander in chief of the U.S. military, most powerful man in the world etc. etc. All thanks to self promotion.
