“More than 100 people gathered outside an affordable housing complex in the Florida Panhandle for an Easter cookout Sunday, defying social distancing measures amid the coronavirus outbreak before police arrived to break up the scene.”

“Why are we going to be scared to come outside when we don’t even know what we’re looking for?" said Wilbert McNeal, one of the party's organizers. "Corona, COVID-19 -- it ain’t coming this way.”

I wouldn't worry about how long it'll take to get it

This all reminds me of those guys who carry around pockets full of change so that they can split 25 cents evenly after cashing out the tickets from their plays.

I got an Email from my CURRENT bank telling me I could register my prepaid Bank card to the IRS for that $1200 if the IRS didn't already have my Prepaid Bank card on file(The IRS shouldn't have that card on file, especially since my CURRENT Bank Account didn't exist when I filed my 2019 Tax Returns. On a side note, shouldn't that $1200 go into my CHECKING ACCOUNT and not my PREPAID Bank Card? :/

I wouldn't worry about how long it'll take to get it kew. Just use some of that "banked EV" when you go to the grocery store the next time. It's worth a bundle.

Well Rob, you are making light of a concept you either don't understand or maybe just pretend not to understand I am not quite sure. But this is exactly what I have been doing!

Let me explain. Last year I spend about 3 months in the fall towards winter, on a different AP project, blackjack related, but it wasn't card counting. So when December rolled around, my annual numbers from card counter were down a but, because I had devoted so much time to the other project. So I decide to use the final few weeks in December, to squeeze in some final card counting play. It so happens after the rodeo leaves town the second week in December is really good card counting conditions.

So as variance (not luck) would have it, I went backwards in the final weeks instead up bumping my results for the good. So for those final few weeks, I lost roughly 10 grand, but because conditions were good, I got in a lot of good play, good strong +EV. Just the scenario you joke about. "Banked EV".

And end of year!

So the clock strikes 2020, and I get off to a good start playing blackjack. Not great, not the best start I ever experienced, but a good start, above accumulated Ev or expectation for the 2+ months until this virus disrupted all of our lives. So that 2+ months above expectation or accumulated EV....that was results catching up to last December's "banked EV". Just the way it is supposed to work. Thanks for helping me explain it, Rob.

Anyone reading that rap who didn't already know your propensity for concocting odd tales on the internet would think you're a crackpot. I can see why redietz and you like each other so much: you both come up with weird stories to try and fit the situation.

But I'd still love to be the next customer in line at the store when you tell the cashier "I'm not able to pay with cash or credit cards today but I'll be happy to offer you either some of my banked EV, or a local AP's best friend--phantom bucks!"

The “Get My Payment” is up on the IRS website. For those who filed, but did not submit a bank acct.

My brother who is on SS got $1200 deposited into his bank account yesterday. Today All I got was my regular SS amount.

Hey Mickey, I dig the flag is it a real thing?

Yep. It's the Mississippi state flag. I'm surprised it's survived all these years with political correctness being what it is. I'm also surprised the Ole Miss Rebels still have the same name. Blacks have been playing on their teams since the 70's.

I like our Rhode Island flag. Good message.

Not sure what you are complaining about?
It was only a couple weeks ago you were bashing France for shutting down their country.
I thought you were of the mindset that this was a bunch of bullshit and we need to open back up.
I thought you were about civil liberties and freedom of choice?
Do you want us to open up and take our chances or do you want more Government Control?
This idea that you can have both is not possible.
Do you really believe your tax dollars go to the minorities???
You can trust that most of everyone's tax dollars goes to politicians pockets, budgets and many other shell organizations.
The percentage of tax dollars that actually get into public hands is minuscule at best.

Looks like Rob Singers extended family got together for the holidays.

Just curious if anyone has had any luck with this portal?

I am able to get through after a few minutes, enter my information but then it says payment status unavailable or unable to determine your eligibility. Is anyone getting an actual response?

I checked with my son (who's eligible) and my daughter (who isn't) as well as us. We all get the same "unable to determine" response. So it's got obvious bugs at start-up.

[kewlJ]

so we are all in the same boat....unable to determine our eligibility.
