Open Question: whats your thought on the netherlands!?

whats your opinion of being able to buy pot [weed,Maryjane,ganja,marijuana] in quaint little stores and legalized rent gals frolicking in storefront windows for sex. people from Holland are so nice! . someone said they discount the elderly and the disabled. do you think we should have some legalized vices other than gambling.are we missing the boat? yeah,i know about the rabbit ranch [HBO] and it looks mighty tacky! and the girls look old and sleepy! u think this might work? keep the peace forgot to mention that there are rules and regulations on the public sex. you think it does not go on in the sainted USA. it is not allowed close kids,schools,playgrounds and only nights. it is for those people that want outdoor sex. ive seen plenty of sex on the beach and elsewhere on south beach. if i passed it. i stopped for a sec and went on my way. sex is so so taboo in the usa but we adore our violent movies and guns are everywhere.you have to admit that volence is part of american culture and admired by many rap cultures in the usa.

Open Question: Can you calculate the odds of this bet winning or losing?

There is a betting progression in gambling that goes something like this: 1-1-1-2-2-4-4-8-8 You start at that first level, $1. If you win at that first level (or any other level in the progression), you parlay your bet (also known as "let it ride"). If you then win the doubled bet (the parlayed bet), then you start the progression every over again. In other words, you have to win TWO consecutive bets to win your wager and then start over. When you do win two bets in a row, you will win a certain amount of money. If you fail to win two in a row at any of the levels, you keep progressing through the betting series. In other words, if you lose the first $1 bet, and then you lose the next $1 bet, and then you win the third $1 bet but then lose the parlayed bet at that level, then you would go onto the first $2 bet to look if you can capture two consecutive wins. Here is my question . . . I have been told that if you are using this betting progression in a game that has a 1.41% home edge against you, that your chances of losing every nine levels (in other words, failing to win two consecutive bets at any of the 9 betting levels), is 8.159 percent. Is that accurate? That means that I can expect to lose that entire betting series about every 12th time. My other question is, what is that percentage if the series is 6 levels instead of 9: So what if the betting series looked like this instead: 1-1-1-2-2-4 What would be the odds of failing to win two consecutive wagers in that series in a game that has a 1.41% home edge against you? Thanks for your help and let me know if you have any questions!

Open Question: I don't have enough money in my bank to cover my Echeck to online gambling site. What's gonna happen?

This wasn't at every intentional. I have a gambling addiction and I was very drunk one night. I didn't realize that echecks dont clear right away. So I deposited about 600 USD via echeck to an online gambling site. I lost it every. Then I checked my online bank account and was like "Oh I still have $650?!" (Granted, I was very drunk) I made a deposit with my debit card for 500 bucks on a different site, which went through right away. The next morning I realized that the echecks didn't go through yet, and now I only have like 50 bucks in my bank account, and 600 bucks that still haven't gone through yet. So, my question is...what can I expect to happen? I have family who can bail me out of problems, but I at least first need to know what I'm getting into. Is the gambling site going to receive the money and put my checking account at about a negative $500? Or Will the checks be rejected, and nothing happen with my bank accounts, just my poker account go into a negative balance and my account locked? If anyone knows the answers as to what is going to happen, please let me know. I realize it was stupid and I am going to seek treatment for my gambling problem. Its was very foolish and I will never allow myself to do anything that stupid again. Can anyone tell me what to expect to happen? Thanks! -Cory

Open Question: Christians, what is sin, how do we know we are saved, please read all?

Romans 14:23 ...everything that does not arrive from faith is sin. This is why salvation is a gift, not because you prayed a prayer! Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, *through faith What is faith? Let me ask you… If you are sure, if you are certain, if you know… no doubt in your mind you’re going to win the lottery you would buy a lottery ticket right? Remember at this point it is not gambling! Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we wish for and certain of what we do not look. If you are sure, if you are certain, if you know… no doubt in your mind Christ is God… you better receive to carrying your cross!!! John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. What did Christ do? He fulfilled the law… Romans 13:10 adore does no hurt to its neighbor. Therefore adore is the fulfillment of the law. What did Christ command? John 13:34 "A new command I give you: adore one another. As I have loved you, so you must adore one another. What is adore? Romans 13:10 …adore is the fulfillment of the law. Therefore if you adore you will follow the Law! John 14:15 "If you adore me, you will obey what I command. @Alfred Lord Tennis anyone Your notion of repentance is skewed! Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may arrive from the Lord, Repentance is a turning from sin to God! Matthew 3:8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. John 15:8 This is to my dad's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

Open Question: Jack Neo Sex Trilogy - Hope u all agree with my views?

This is a classic case of a lose lose scenario. No one stand to gain except becoming the talk of the town. Some comments expressed compassion, understanding & support for Wendy, Jack's wife and even for Jack. Some are downright brutal taking sides either with Wendy or Jack and condemning the other party. My take is this, for Wendy, she is just emotionally immature so pls ppl, cease callling her a slut. And its not her age either. I have seen ppl much older than 22 and yet so emotionally immature. Initial vanity & greed got her into this precarious gamble & probably evolved into something much deeper emotionallys and she cant receive out after. Can happen to anyone. Spilled the beans out of spite, anger and bitterness probably & not out to crucify Jack . For Jack, his ability as a breadwinner and successful actor & filmmaker and his competency as a dad is not called to question. I also believe there is more than 2 or 3 women.Simply put, he is a player or sex intolerant or degenerate and I make it clear not bcos he was seduced, tempted or the entertainment industry or some disorder like OCD, sex addiction, Wendy, blah blah... It is not possible for him to change his ways no matter how much remorse & regret he has. Even if he truly exercise physical self control intermittently..haha, he will turn to pornography, online sex chats, mental porns of ppl he knows.or any other substitutes. hehe... migrating to e-platform from the traditional brick & mortar. Thats no different from my book no matter how u slice it. In summary, his wife must divorce him and move on and Jack must continue to uphold his responsibility as dad to his kids and provide, provide and provide.He will always be their dad and he can continue to be a player for the relax of his natural life. The real problem is he made a bad call years ago in getting married and have kids. I m sure he loves his wife but u cant have both, bro, a player and a husband. The worst mistake in the history of bad mistakes. Stay low for some time guys and went things blow over, life goes on. Jack, yr PBM & yr success in film making is still intact, in my books anyways. Cheers

Open Question: 18 and in Biloxi, Mississippi?

My boyfriend and I are going to be in Biloxi, Mississippi, for the weekend and are wondering what is there to do for people our age? We are both 18 and have a hotel room in the area [his parent's gift to me for my birthday the following week] for the weekend. No offense, but I'm not too excited about museums and anything historic. Remember: we're young, free and life is just beginning for ourselves. Though, I don't hate aquariums, haha. We can't gamble or go to any of the casino buffets since we're below 21, but there has to be something we can do outside the hotel room. Of course we'll be having fun down on the beaches, but maybe there are some clubs we can hit? Parks of some sort? Malls? Any and every ideas are welcome unless uncalled for, lol :P Thank you thank you!!!

Open Question: What should I do with my bonus?Something for me, the wife, or the family?

I just got an unexpected $5K bonus at work. Here is what I am planning on doing with it, please tell me what choice I should take. 1) Spring break vacation for family. 2) A decent size diamond for the wife 3) New TV, even though we already have 2 nice ones. 4) Don't tell the family about the bonus, tell them I have a business trip, and spend the money in vegas on strippers, booze and gambling. I'm just really not sure what the right thing to do is here. I don't keep a balance on the credit cards. I pay them off each month. Doesn't everyone? I am a responsible person. And #4 was supposed to be silly. I would never go every the way to Vegas just to receive strippers. There are plenty here :)
