  • We had a teacher that ran a gambling club for the teachers.

    The teachers would all put into a pool at the start of the year and he would pay out the percentage at the end of the year. He had bank accounts in a few countries and would look for odds imbalances and spread the bet to gain an advantage.

    He used to give us cash and send us to the TAB to put bets down on his behalf as he was banned for winning too much. Each year a new batch of students would come who were all not banned.

    In return he taught us all how to count cards and play poker. Dude was a maths wiz.

    He one day came into a different class and asked the teacher for everything in his wallet as he had “found one”. The other teacher gave him all the cash. Turns out he had seen something along the lines of “world all-stars” vs “Tonga” at ice hockey, with 8,000:1 odds. But they messed up and had it round the wrong way. Both teachers retired at the end of the year.














  • Got a couple of hours in today of the new patch.

    First impressions:

    Less vector users. Job done there. Still lots of medics, but give it time they might try something else.

    Way less aimpunch. It’s easier to hose targets your already on instead of getting dinged by a flincher. Feels good overall. Will be interesting to see how that change progresses as everyone gets used to it.

    Got a few free rank ups right away due to conversion of the xp system. Cool.

    Barbed wire is crackup. Works well. Already seen people setup great ambushes with it on unique locations.

    Bandage healing is interesting. I find targets before you would hit and they would duck away to bandage, now they duck away to bandage and then to heal, so it means the delayed engagement takes longer. Also far less assists from this too.

    Snipers holding the sniper rifle (not DMR) seem to walk like a snail. Pulling pistol lets you go fast again. This is the only really annoying change I think
