"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

For the experts out there..

What is the best type of gambling for someone patient and disciplined looking to build up some extra cash. Gambling that involves some skill/instinct/technique rather than just plain fun/luck. Because i know there are some good options like Forex and commodities (if you can call that gambling). But i'm thinking something more of a conventional sense to match a fairly low budget.

Share some ideas....

Thanks.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Poker. Definitely. I've made a small fortune playing poker.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

In that case get a job that teaches you something, use what funds you have to buy a bunch of books, and search for some inspiration. If you don't do this now, then when you decide its time to build your Empire you'll still be in the same spot, and kicking yourself for wasting all that time taking the easy road. Playing for the short term is what kills dreams, and no man is rich enough to buy back his past. I wouldn't advise trying to becoming a hustler unless you take it as seriously as any other professional treats their line of work.

Some form of poker. Unless you know how to count cards and can find a casino with single deck blackjack.

You could learn how to bet on horses too, but I imagine you don't have the time or patients for the research involved in that.

Sit N Go-- Single Table Tournament Poker--

This form of poker is PURE math and game theory, but realize that poker isn't for people that want to make an EASY living. The best players that I know of spend more time studying than playing, and that is what I plan on doing for the next month.

Learn ICM and proper push/ fold strategy.

Poker is the wrong answer although close. The most lucrative type of betting is sports betting. The 2nd most lucrative is poker.

There's this company that takes on investors much like a stock broker would, but instead of investing your money in stocks they bet NBA basketball. The minimum investment is 10k, and from what I've read most people realize a profit.


I would love to learn how to bet sports.. off to te 2+2 sports betting forum...

Here is what Mark Cuban has to say about sports betting vs wallstreet:

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yeah unfortunately I dont know of a place such as 2+2 that could teach you to bet on sports. I guess its like any other thing. You have to learn by losing a small fortune. It took me 8 years to play poker "professionally" and even now its still a very hard living. Im going back to school because I dont want to have to rely on 70 hours a week of poker to live. Its been 1.5 years since i quit my 40 a week hour job and started playing poker for a living. Im already having...I dont know how to describe it but, lets just say physical and mental problems that related from the stress and long hours.

Ive been telling people on these boards for over a year. I dont recommend poker to anyone looking for extra income.

Skel, aren't you a fixed limit player??? I swear that the NL guys have it so much easier than trying to grind out some dough playing FL.

I started as a NL holdem player and quickly found that playing fixed limit was easier for the "system" players. By that I mean the players that play the odds and dont really play the other players as much as you are use to seeing on TV or in the movies. Those being the players that bluff at 100k dollar pots with nothing or as I call them, actors.

Anways fixed limit is mind numbingly boring and I found another way to grind which wasnt so boring. I started playing the Omaha Hi low games. I realized that only the players who truly knew what they were doing could win there and you reall, really have to know your odds and outs to be a successful omaha player. Not only that but Omaha at the time had the only limits that were 75/150. At present time I play a bit of everything depending on whos playing and where.

I find NL and Limit to both be challenging in their own way. I couldnt say who has it harder.

lucrative for who? I would have thought something that takes more skill than luck would be a better option than sports. I don't see how anyone can make steadier money with sports than with poker. Unless your playing horses maybe.. i don't know.

Gambling and investment are two ends of the same thing. The less skill the worse the chance of a return. You don't have enough for stocks, I assume.
Otherwise that is my suggestion. You may not get rich quick, but you might get rich slow.

There is the old joke "You can make a small fortune out of the futures market, only trouble is you have to start with a large fortune."

I opened a futures account in the 80s. I never had the guts to trade it. Eventually, they made me close it because I didn't trade it. But you know what, those bastards had my money in the short term money market and they were making me about 20% per annum on my account, which they credited to it. So, with that kind of return, you were better off just leaving your money in your account and not trading. Ironic yes?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Well obviously best for the people that know sports really well. I really dont know much about sports betting but this is what I have been told by people in the gambling profession. I have no facts to back it up though so take my comment with a grain of salt.

Any last ideas before i put this thing to sleep?

..
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
