Mosts of them are losing right now as they try to grab market share because of advertising and promos, Bet 365 opened in Indiana and they offer a risk free bet that works out to about $800 of value (2k risk free bet) when Draftkings went to knew states they offered as much a a $5,000 dollar risk free bet which is worth about $2,000 dollars plus they do recuring promos that are naturally positive (though some sneak negative ones in too). Sharp betting is also way easier than people think you can buy a 30 dollar tool and instantly be a sharp bettor until the books ban you from Arbitrage on bad lines. I have made thousands of dollars and its not like I am a genius bettor I just put the money where the computer says to and boom profit.
Well the house can always have a maximum Bet amount per person, and change the ratios if too many people are betting on the underdog. If you use a smart logic it still stays foolproof even in a small scale, you will just not have so many large bets as the bigger companies. @@VitoIsPuffBunny
As someone who recently landed a graduate job - public sector work is the ultimate cheat code. I spent 7 months looking for work after graduating, then I started applying to graduate level positions for state government agencies and every single one I applied for I was making it to the final interview stage. Less than 2 months later I had 3 job offers to choose from. Look for agencies that aren't even on the radar of most people in your field. Particularly at the state and local government level because you're competing with a much smaller pool of candidates. If you studied something related to IT or anything corporate, those degrees are always relevant to any government agency
@@novax6560 my state has a website where all the different agencies post their job openings, check if yours has something similar maybe. Otherwise just think of everything the government provides or even anything they MIGHT be involved in and there’s probably an agency responsible for it - roads, public transport, housing, social security, hospitals, education, law enforcement, firefighters, insurance, the entire justice system, water, energy, agriculture, tourism, wildlife, etc.
I was very lucky and got a well paid internship and a job offer from it in college. Good lord I would hate having to find a job right now my girlfriend is trying to switch jobs right now and I’ve been helping her with her resume and it has been a 3 month process of constant rejection. With only 4 call backs out of probably 70 applications. I don’t have the heart to tell her about all the fake job postings out there because you can’t tell if the posting is fake or not from the post alone, and I don’t want to make her more anxious. Luckily she’s still at her job so she’s making money but for some one not in that position idk how they are staying sane through it all.
They only recently legalised online gambling over there. It used to be that you could only bet on your phone, if you were on casino property. Now, as long as the sportsbook, servers and the punter are in the same state, you’re gucci.
Aussie here, most per capita lost to gambling in the world for a while, and yet we've still got a new gold rush here too. It went from every mid sized bar having a spot to place your bets and half having rooms for slots, to the digital app economy where a new generation of problem gamblers can turn their love of sports into anger at players who ruined their multi. The amount of advertising has gone insane to the point that a country of problem gamblers thinks it's too much and is looking at tighter legislation restricting it.
I completely agree with Big A here. The referral piece is arguably the most important for getting a first job! I just interviewed for a company, and my director looked over my resume for 10 seconds, interviewed me for 30 seconds, and offered me the job based on a nice referral from a family friend. I don’t know that I’d be where I am without it. Put yourself out there and do your best to network!
Everyone I talk to always talks about the wins they have. They never mention the misses unless they nearly won and would have won a lot. No one wants to admit how much they lose.
The statement of going back in time and graduating earlier hit me cuz I graduated at a good time for jobs and decided to get a masters. Then the market was ass by the time I graduated that. I’m an idiot
Remember with gambling you can only lose 100% of the money you bet, however you can win an infinite amount of money. This is what all the “investors” don’t want you to know.
Wrong. If you lose money gambling, it’s simply because you didn’t bet enough. I was down and then I realized I could increase my bet size if I took out credit card loans in my children’s names. I now am 1 roulette roll away from being a billionaire.
I work for an IT company that does IT for a "big" gambling provider in the UK and sometimes a random gambler will somehow get our IT phone number and come through to me and it's always someone who's just lost their entire live savings and are saying that the results are wrong and that they need help fixing it. (tbf one time the guy was telling the truth and there was a big email sent to all our customer about it)
@@BackseatGamingJesus Its a skill issue. Im currently down on my money but believe me I feel there is something big coming... would be statistically stupid to give up now too since 99% of all gamblers quit right before hitting it big
@@TilDrillyour problem is your bet size isn’t enough. Happened to me, then I realized I could take out credit cards in my family members name and max them out. I am now one roulette roll away from being a billionaire.
when csgo betting came out before the scandal, i felt like it was "safer" than gambling. Now like 10 years later I really feel like icky for even trying it.
I think they can't pull out unless they find someone to pay slightly more or smt? I guess superbowl adds show bad management skills :D Locking in on something huge with questionable return months ahead sounds crazy :D (Apple might actually do one for Apple Vision Pro, they probably got a discount in the sports licensing deals)
I've gotten jobs through referral for a majority of my jobs. Little to no background checks and interviews. It's great until you wanna work somewhere without a recommendation. I suck at interviews...
Here's my usual advice to that one chatter asking about needing experience to get their first job: start an LLC and do freelance work under the name of that company, then put the company on your resume with a job title that describes the work you did. It doesn't work for every kind of position and definitely isn't a golden ticket (you still have to do real work for a considerable amount of time), but being able to consolidate that work under an official company is valuable for a resume (and LinkedIn). For example, if I as a game developer am looking for my first job in the industry, I can make a few small titles and release them under Some Studio, LLC as the sole employee and developer, but then put on my resume that I was just a "Software Engineer" or "Mechanic Designer" or whatever position it is that I'm going for - omitting information about other work you did that doesn't matter to the position you're applying for isn't lying. However, by doing this I have now effectively cheated 1-2 years of professional experience that I spent making small projects which normally would be hard to quantify on a resume.
This also works great for working in a group. I did this with some friends out of college who had spent 6 months failing to get a single interview and within a week of incorporating each of us had gotten dozens of interview requests from various hiring managers on LinkedIn.
There's no shot that it's easier to start a fucking LLC freelance gig over getting an entry position. I feel like people just aren't willing to move around for work.
@@fedbia2003 I had at least a dozen friends with a college degree applying to 200+ "entry level" positions each with zero interviews in 6 month. After incorporating an LLC, updating LinkedIn, and starting one project, all of them had started getting weekly interviews within the first month. Incorporating an LLC is piss easy
@@fedbia2003 An LLC takes a few weeks and a couple hundred bucks to setup properly with zero effort. You can setup an LLC for next to nothing if you want to do the paperwork yourself. Depending on your skill level or bad luck with the job search, I’d imagine it would be much easier to start an LLC than find a job in many cases. Source: I have an LLC and a seperate full-time job.
I think that gambling is great for kids, it's a fun way for kids to earn more free pocket money, giving them not just financial wealth, but also valuable experience & a business-oriented mindset that they can carry into a successful future
You don't have to rewrite a whole resume just to apply to a new job, but even having a customised cover letter than explains why you're applying and why your skills specficially fit the role at the company you're applying for is going to give them much more of a reason to look at your resume and portfolio and give you an interview. If you're thinking "nah my one size fits all resume is fine I don't really want to change it" just think about trying to apply for a job in your industry, getting sick of getting denied and trying to go to something like McDonalds. They're going to look at your resume and say "this person has a degree why would we waste time hiring and training this guy if he's gonna leave in a 2 months" compared to changing your resume to something like "I have a job already but im looking for another part time job on the side to get more money." Like he said, spamming a 0.05% chance is not gonna get you very far for your first job, but adjusting to suit the company you're applying for is going to increase the chance. Just because you put in the effort doesn't mean they'll guaranteed contact you, but the most important part is to not get lazy and give up and spam apply again, because having a tailored message is something that gets noticed over most other bs in your resume.
I'm not sure how it works in the US, but in my country all gambling is controlled by the government. It basically just becomes an extra tax for idiots.
