![]() ![]() Playing another game is exactly what you're supposed to do. It's an ugly kind of thing, like subscription MMOs.Īnd yeah, anything will get old after you've input hundreds of hours into it. It's like paying money to make and keep friends. If you're not there solely for the gambling, then you're there for face to face human interaction. It's easy to joke about a MTG tournament looks like the nerd stereotype: scrawny nerds with tiny arms or debuman sized. The white male nerd with disposable income thing has always been something we've been very, VERY uncomfortable talking about. And that currency MUST constantly change, since should you ever reach the day every nerd that plays the game has four copies of everything, that currency becomes worthless. (Especially if you draw a "You lose the game" and have to instantly resign.) All of the game part happens while making a deck.įundamentally, it is gambling using a surrogate nerd currency. That implies you have control, but once you're in a game there are very few decisions to make. Right, I think it's fundamentally wrong to think of MTG as a "game". ![]() (magic sucks because: only wizards makes magic) To say that the games storied history is a detrimental aspect to it when the game is evolving and changing every day is absurd. Magic sets come out once every 3 months, so the newest set (which is self contained for limited) is probably going to be newer than the most recent video game you bought. There have been immense changes front to back and new elements are introduced several times a year. Richard Garfield who created magic all those years back is notoriously bad at playing the game itself. Any card game is going to have an economy and you don't have follow it closely to enjoy the game. (magic sucks because: it’s a collectable) The reality is you can get a good standard deck for the price of an iphone, and if you want to play other formats you can do so on MTGO for less money. Anyone with a normal paying job can afford to play magic. Maybe if you're a student or impoverished that's the case. (magic sucks because: it’s horrifically expensive) (magic sucks because: mana variance isn’t fun) If you can't make a land base that provides you with playable hands the majority of the time or can't mulligan properly, its a problem with you not the game. ![]() Tournament structure is pure gambling.ĭid not see one convincing reason on his list, regardless of whether he was being facetious or playing devils adcovate or whatever. As much as you're correct about the ludicrous value of money cards, at least there is something there and a resale potential. This hurt my perception of Magic as an affordable hobby. Congratulations, you win a job as a retailer. But it had to get juiced up to attract the money-drafting gamblers, to take more money in at the front end.Īnd if you DO win, much of the prize for a lot of tournaments is product. It doesn't feed anything and no one would travel far to play. That's not ideal for everything, but "State Champs" should be the epitome of this. I'll pay a small fee for overhead and then the prize should be a certificate. I don't care to pay $40-50 to find out, no matter how big the prize pool is. I would like to know how far I can pilot my constructed deck in a large tournament. Not only are we spinning for a random jackpot every time we open a pack, but it's synonymous with competitive play. As a corollary to your financial points, Magic really taps into a gambling vibe. ![]()

Score two-point conversions after every touchdown? That's a half-decade ago, an entire generation in NFL terms, but it still feels like Allen should be higher. * Includes -5 DYAR for one incomplete target as a receiverĪllen finishes in 12th place in this table with the best game since Tom Brady's performance in a 41-33 loss to Philadelphia in Super Bowl LII. Best QB Playoff Games, Total DYAR, 1983-2021 So where did he end up in the list of all-time great playoff games? Very high indeed, but not at the top. Of those, only three averaged more yards per play (combining runs and passes) than Allen did against New England: Peyton Manning in a 41-10 win over Denver in the 2003 playoffs Mark Rypien in a 56-17 win over Atlanta in 1991 and Deshaun Watson in a 53-32 win over Atlanta (yes, again) in 2019.Īllen was efficient, and he was explosive, and he was playing against a defense that ranked fourth in defensive DVOA during the regular season. This was the 17th time since the merger that a quarterback amassed at least 350 yards of total offense with five touchdowns and no sacks or interceptions. Oh, and he ran six times for 66 more yards too. Let's begin with Allen's raw totals: 21-of-25 passing for 308 yards and five touchdowns, with no interceptions, no sacks, and no fumbles. Aaron Schatz will have more about the Bills' team numbers in his DVOA analysis column later today, but here we're going to look at Josh Allen, and I'm going to try to explain why his game against New England was not the most valuable we have ever measured. They're not the best we have ever seen, but they are the best we have seen in years. The key word there is "more," because-and let's be clear about this-Buffalo's numbers are very impressive. So … why aren't Josh Allen's advanced numbers more impressive? It was about as close to perfection as an NFL offense can get. ![]() They took a knee on the game's final drive to run out the clock, but every time they actually tried to score, they got a touchdown. They also finished the game with no punts, no turnovers, and no failed fourth-down plays. The Bills reached their point total without a single field goal attempt. NFL Wild Card - The Buffalo Bills defeated the New England Patriots 47-17 on Saturday night, and somehow the game was even more of a blowout than the final score would suggest. ![]() ![]() SWING TRADER RESOURCES Swing Trading Software It takes some finesse to be a scalper, but unlike the ticket scalpers you find trying to make a quick buck, stock market scalpers can make a lot of money. Essentially, there is a small difference between the highest price one is willing to pay and the lowest price for which a seller is willing to sell it. This strategy is effective because of what’s called the bid-ask spread. A scalper will make hundreds of trades a day, but only make a small gain each time. Instead, they are in it for the small gain. These traders aren’t selling their stocks last minute outside the arena. Fundamental trading is similar to regular trading, but taking place in an extremely short time frame. While good news might be assumed to be met with a rise in stock price, you never quite know how the market will react to any news – use caution. The analysis comes in when a trader examines the expected effect of changes like stock splits, acquisitions and earnings reports. Fundamentals are the building blocks of a business and their stock price can be related to its activities. The crux of fundamental trading is analysis. ![]() A happy medium is to set a desired profit and stop there, think of the children. Careful though, stay too long and momentum could swing in the opposite direction, but jump too soon and you could miss out on potential profit. ![]() This strategy requires the trader to jump on board soon after the momentum starts and then ride the wave for a while. Here are some of the most popular strategies employed by swing traders Momentum TradingĪ stock is said to have momentum when the stock price starts to move in one direction and is accompanied by a high amount of trading volume. There’s a little bit of luck in there too, sometimes you just have to feel it out. These charts are used to filter out the noise – all the random trading – and identify what is likely to happen based on statistical analysis. In order to predict and analyze these patterns, swing traders use what’s called a swing chart. The only thing a swing trader cares about are trends and patterns. In swing trading, investing essentials like intrinsic value and company assets go out the window. So what is Market Cap? Take the number of total shares and multiply it by the share price. The tech companies that were just listed all have caps of over $200 billion. Referred to as “large cap” stocks, these titans have a market capitalization of at least $10 billion. Some examples are tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google. These companies are well known around the world. High volume stocks are whales – the biggest companies on Wall Street. ![]() Also, because there are always people buying and selling, they will have no problem filling orders. Swing traders focus on these stocks because their prices fluctuate, even if by a small amount, nearly constantly. When we say volume, we mean the amount of stocks that change hands each day. The best companies to swing trade have extremely high trade volume. This principle of squeezing out the big players allows traders to have an even playing field – whereas they would normally be outclassed by superior capital, manpower and experience. This is because most investment companies do their trading in large quantities that are too big and slow to keep up with swing trading. It works because individual investors are able to better capitalize on the short term movements of securities better than trading institutions can. Simply put, swing trading is a short-term strategy that traders use to capitalize on the price “swings” of stocks, usually over the period of a few days. ![]() ![]() We also took note of safety features, the nosiness of cocking mechanisms, and each crossbow’s manual of arms.

![]() ![]() It's difficult to predict where the genre will go next, but given the huge impact it's had in such a short time, it seems the only way is up. In a matter of years, UK drill has moved from the peripheries of urban music to a central UK sound. Meanwhile, Drake's December 2019 drill track " War" and Travis Scott and Pop Smoke's " GATTI" were both produced by London drill producer AXL Beats, showing UK drill's burgeoning worldwide appeal. New track "Y Pree" is a sign of one direction UK drill might take as it extends its global reach, with M1llionz leaning into his Caribbean roots, using Jamaican patois in his lyrics and shooting the video in sunny Kingston – a far cry from the inner estates of early drill videos. Birmingham's M1llionz is a great example – he's already established himself as one of 2020's most exciting drill talents. Once confined within the M25, the drill sound has now spread nationwide. Considering the genre's current trajectory, it'd be no surprise if collaborations like these become a regular occurrence. Distorted vocals and slowed-down samples on singles "GANG" and "Charades" pushed the genre into new territory, while the features on the project – FKA twigs, Sampha and Jamie xx – are symbolic of drill's integration into the wider UK scene. On April mixtape GANG, Headie One shifted the parameters of the sound. ![]() For bars, “Already” and “Match Day.By 2020, the genre was ready to move forward. ![]() “Drill, trap, rap I’m doin’ it all.”įor his hit-making ability, “Know Better” and “Both,” the latter of which is a huge hit (and not a Drill song at all).

The five artists below are not my exact choices for the five best UK Drill artists, but they all have skill sets and personas that make them great. I’m late to the party, but I’ve listened to enough artists to know who I really admire in the UK Drill scene. Forceful rappers like V9 and Burner exist, but most of the UK scene’s top rappers, Drillers included, place a heavy emphasis on sneaky wordplay and tightly-patterned flows. The UK Drill sound is also influenced by Grime and UK garage music. While UK Drill is still raw and violent, instrumentals are made to be chilling and sparse more than they are explosive. Chief Keef embodied this, and Drill rappers like the late Fredo Santana, King L, and Lil Bibby represented the sound well. While Chicago Drill has evolved to include more reflective and lyrical talent such as Polo G, King Von, and FBG Duck, its main appeal is raw, chaotic sounds and rappers who get their point across with aggression and raw melodies.
