Is John Schmidt In Some Hot Water?

Yes that’s true. Protect yourself at all times.

However the FTC and other alphabet soup agencies protect the dumb people and therefore to tout financial biz there’s rules, regulations, licenses required to protect the ignorant from such predatory trade practices…..

You would be amazed how greed makes people get stupid. Smart people get stupid for that matter. Casino’s are a prime example of that. As is the lottery at $1.8B right now-which of course I’m playing 😂 the hypocrisy runs deep…….
A lot of wealthy people (and supposedly smart) gave millions of dollars to Bernie Madoff. My own mother (who was fairly wealthy) was touted on investing with Bernie over 30 years ago. She passed on it and stuck to investing in property that she owned. She liked to control her own investments! Smart lady. I'm the same way.
 
I hope not. I enjoyed their commentary together. I only watched the free preview match between Alex and Dee Adkins. Which was a great match btw.
Dee can play. Working mans champion. I enjoyed the commentary too. Dee plays safe, accidentally pockets a ball in the side leaving Alex a nice bank, Alex proceeds to hit it dead terrible, clips the side tit and sells out, John calls that the JS special 😂🤣

I remember well. Your mom was brilliant. I’m the same-captain if my own ship. It’s very smart.
 
I think you should play him some and teach him a lesson. :)

do have one guy on my list , can’t get him to bet like I want him to , he stalls me everytime I go through NOLA …. TIGER IS HIS NAME , he is more like a KITTY CAT . He knows how I feel so I’m not talking behind his back . Maybe one of you guys could have a talk with him / go in with him . The guy beats me everytime we play , he’s up like 20k on me but he stalls for 12 hrs and then low balls me on the bets . They say he is a good score but damn if I see it, he can get played a 500k $ set or more , that could be done at the Derby for all of Louisiana/ NOLA to see . There , my nose is wide open with this guy !!! But I’m not betting small again , I’m done!

Yeah I know some of y’all gonna say he is smart and gets the $ … I agree if that’s what he’s all about then he can have that 20k , I’ve heard different.. Heck I won that 20k at the casino 30min earlier betting on RED …… it’s time the Tiger comes out tha cave !!!!! Heck the last time I lost , I told him I’d bet 10k over whatever he bets !!!!! That’s ridiculous I know

If it's that John referred to JJ as "the Genius" during a hot mic moment I could see some of John's industry peers being the hot water and it could just be an embarrassing moment for him - worse case, if true, maybe he'd not be invited to certain commentating gigs. All very speculative.
If that's all it was, that's absolutely nothing.
 
Meh. This pales in comparison to the fact that John was pumping BitCoin on Facebook to his fans, saying it basically "couldn't lose", and "$100,000 by Christmas", around a year ago. A lot of pool fans were digging it, and said they were gonna jump in immediately.

I interjected (respectfully) and told him and the people he was pumping to, that in my professional opinion as a IT Security professional, that BitCoin price was extremely vulnerable to any major superpowers banning cryptocurrency (which China did last year), any negative news (a few months later Elon Musk stated that Tesla would no longer accept BitCoin re: environmental issues, due to high electrical cost of farming BitCoins...), and any major hacks of cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance was hacked and lost ~ 500 million dollars within a short time of my warning). Plus probably a few more reasons why investing in Bitcoin at $60,000+ was problematic..

He then got all butthurt because he said (in a private message) things insinuating I thought he was stupid, and that I was so much smarter than him, and that he just couldn't deal with my negativity any more... Then he blocked me. Let me tell you.. He is a THIN skinned dude if anyone disagrees with him.

When he was pumping BitCoin? Price was ~ $65,000 a Bitcoin. It immediately began it's fall within a month or so of my warning John he was doing his fans a disservice by pumping this "investment". Current price? ~ $20,000 a BitCoin. Which means anyone who followed his advice lost over 66% of their investment.

Still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

(For the record, I don't believe one word coming out of Elon's mouth about why he shut down accepting BitCoin. I doubt it had anything at all to do with environmental concerns, and was likely him trying to weaken BitCoin's luster as he was trying to foist his meme DogeCoin on a gullible public.. Either that, or just did not want Tesla associated with some of the more shady ways people use BitCoin..)
I have never touched bitcoin, and never will, with a 10 foot pole. But JS pumping it is nothing bad at all. Anyone dumb enough to buy xyz due to a pool player (or anyone, really) pumping it, deserves their fate. Another thing is JS put his money where his mouth is and was buying it himself. That right there is worth a lot.

I've done the same with everyone I know personally in the stock market with regards to AAPL. Saying to buy it for the past 20 years. I have put my money where my mouth is. Of course, no one listens. But if anyone did listen, and the stock went bankrupt, that is not on me. Just like bitcoin bursting its bubble is 1000% not on John. I've taken stock tips from peers that I lost 80% on, before dumping it. I'm not mad at the people who gave the tips at all, and still talk stocks with them all the time.
 
It is sad that someone who knows what they are actually talking about gets drowned out these days in a sea of "Google Warriors". I literally ran down the list of potential hazards to cryptocoin investments, and ALL of them came true within six months. And I have no doubt I did not sway a single person.
LOL... Considering I made about 19K on a 4K investment in about 9 months with little to no risk, eh...I'll take my own advice thank you very much...

I don't know that I'm following anything here. Bitcoin is still 21K per coin. That's 100% over what it was 2 years ago...Sure it's fallen from its height, but when I started mining ethereum and traded it for some bitcoin and other coins, ethereum was less $400 a coin and is now $1600.

Just like with any investment, you've got to know when to get in and when to get out. I sold my ethereum and other altcoins just past when they were at their height.

When the value is there, or is going to be there, I'll mine and/or trade. I do my own analyses and make up my own mind.

But the people who were saying it's a dumb investment proved to be dumb. AFTER the crash it's still WAY up over what it was.

Ethereum has made the transition to 2.0 and is no longer POW so mining isn't what it was, but so what. I made the money I made and my investment still has a higher intrinsic value than it did when I made the purchase (physical mining hardware).

I had seen where mining was going right before the big blow up and got in before GPU prices flew through the roof and had started mining before the huge bull run on crypto.

no sooner this thread comes up then i see pat diviney on fb pimping crypto and that hes helped some dude get 28k in 2 weeks lol
 
Schmidt will not be doing anymore commentating. The dinner shows showing a EDITED 626 run are all done.Bitcoin in the dumps.
Why not make an unedited or even edited video of the 626 and make 10k- 30k.?
Makes everyone kinda wonder why the video has not been released. I guess he hates money.

the winning ticket was sold in cali...did WE win???
 
the winning ticket was sold in cali...did WE win???
I was so sad

When I heard Ca I thought we had the best of it. I figured, ok 80% of the ticket sales were not in Ca so the equity was up strong for us to have the winning ticket. I’d have hedged right then for $200,000,000- sadly that wasn’t an option.

I had savers with 4 guys and promised one guy that I’d give him all my cues-I wanted to jinx myself into winning. There’s a couple cues that would be hard to give away-not a $ thing. But I’d fully come to terms with being cueless for the first time in 40+ years. Didn’t work.

We won $13 and I lost $300 in 2 draws. Was a free roll as I won $650 the weekend before on pool side bets.

Let’s do a save again when it runs up over a billion.

Did my best
Fatboy <——-sad I didn’t win the lottery for many reasons. If I won it-I’d pass out $ like candy to some people-not the fake friends. But people I know and respect. When I was making loads I gave away so much stuff. What’s the fun if you can’t share? Seriously
 
People who play pull-tabs (rippies) crack me up. The house cut on them is around 25 to 30%.
They feel like winners when they spend like $300 over the course of a few visits to finally "win" $250...
On the bright side, I guess, pull-tabs are a safer bet than crypto😂
