Most of my money is in things like funds and Quest Wealth robo accounts. Sorry, how is this relevant? Are you next going to compare my investment returns with gambling returns? Because maybe then we should ask who's making money on Bet360 too. Or how the last trip to Vegas went.

I asked because I'm curious. I don't know exactly what a robo adviser is (I can guess by the name) does it auto suggest what stocks to buy and how much?

Dude, it's Bet365 and I "invested" in the Oilers, Leafs, Lightning and Canucks last night and I made $10!

I may have lost $6 along with the $10 I made but I made $10 so I made $10!, not $4 you animals! It's not about the losses! It's only about the profits! I'm an expert you see.

So you are concerned about it hitting 1M Canadian?

Shouldn't matter to you since it's pretty much dead now

No, it's basically a "know your client" done automatically that then recommends their managed portfolios based on your risks/goals.

The portfolios are baskets of ETF's for the most part, but managed by people. These are the various portfolios and how they have performed, along with asset mixes and holdings:

Okay dino, I'll take your avatar bet so that you don't have to worry that the $1,000 loss will wipe out your portfolio. Knowing that you've lost money on crypto since 2021, I should have been more respectful of your financial situation. Forgive me for taking your assertions of wealth at face value and not realizing that they were a front for your real circumstances.

Crypto was dead in 2018 according to you and you told me so

Having money doesn't mean making stupid bets and giving it away. Avatar bet on but do you even post on CP other than this thread?

Also, if you want to make a fair $1000 bet with reasonable odds I will do it

You say Crypto is dying and will be worthless

BTC hits 100k USD before $100, $1000...let's go big talker

I actually enjoy witnessing the arguments unfold when dino is involved due to how relentless he is and overall willingness to continue. When it comes to the Flames, 8 can't think of a bigger die-hard fan who will go to battle with anyone, any time, on any Flames-related topic and you can bet will have a generally good argument mostly every time!

I think what you mean by this, although it is, as usual, almost incomprehensible due to you preferring to post in a stream of consciousness rather than using English as a method of communication, is that you want to bet that Bitcoin will eventually reach $100,000 in value whereas I bet that it will one day go below $100 in value. However, what if it does neither? We just each leave $1,000 with someone indefinitely?

That sounds like a very poorly considered bet. I prefer the original idea that I put forward, that, I should remind you, was based on *your* prediction that Bitcoin would reach an all-time high in 2024 and not anything that I said. Either you stand by your prediction, or I'm not interested.

As far as an avatar bet goes, and your disinclination to follow up on that, too -you were the one who suggested it. Apparently you stand by neither your predictions nor your words. Impressive.
