Played 3/5/9 in college. Nickle, dime, quarter 9 ball. The deal is, with this amount even the non players had fun losing and hanging out. We always tried to get the kids on scholarships to play. They seemed to have a little looser money in the late 60's.
Even better. They don't see their pockets dwindle. With apple pay or any money transfer services you can win more off them. There is no value in money except for some digits. You can immediately get a deposit to your money transfer account.
I agree. They are more likely to chase their money than to stop when they see their wallets empty.I've noticed the younger generation is so comfortable to cashapp or zelle you the money. I've done it many times. sure it sucks to have to have all these different apps but it is the time were in. I'll even accept bitcoin.
Using cash is very inefficient. You have to wait for the cashier to count the money and then count it back to you as they give it you. When you are in line and everyone is using cash it wastes a lot of time.
Card use over cash is another Americanized thing. In areas with European, Caribbean and South American cultural influences like in parts of New England, cash is still traditional and preferred. Cards full of cash as wedding gifts like in Wise Guys is still very much alive for those Americans where English is a second language (Portuguese for example). Small venders prefer cash because there is no credit card service fee per transaction. But in the mainstream cash is being eliminated, probably for CC profit agendas.
If cash registers don't work then they won't accept your cash. Can't get you change. I'm not worried because if everything crashes then cash would be the first thing to become worthless.
In that ‘Armageddon‘ scenario, gold/silver would be just as worthless as greenbacks (anything you can’t eat/shoot/burn/etc.). I use plastic strictly for convenience, at a few select locations (thus minimizing the # of businesses where my personal data can be hacked/stolen).
Yea I understand.
Ummmmm ok if you say so…..
Clever name line, not myin
There was a time I had 15 credit cards and bounced dollars around for a couple years w/o any interest. When the cards first came out, they signed up pretty much anyone with good credit.
That's cool. It's a skill. Maybe save up some money. Set aside $5 or $10 a week. Then after you have done that for 5 or 6 weeks. Go find someone to play a race to 10 for the whole thing. (Like $50). Then you will develop your nerve of steel for tournaments and other competition. It really only cost ya $5 per week. Just don't spend money you don't have set aside for playing with. Soon you won't lose every time. But it may be a while before you figure all the lessons out about playing under pressure. Be smart. Protect your wallet and only play with money you have set aside.
