Starting off with a semi-regular reminder. The idea of having a system that is foolproof for gambling winnings has been around FOREVER. The casinos love that, since other than a few cases where things like a lottery payout being mathed incorrectly and someone buying a butt ton of tickets taking advantage of that, “foolproof” schemes never work. They always end up being a variation of the pay me for my secret knowledge by buying my book kind of deal.
With all apologies to Donald lovers, there does seem to be a bit of a problem with his financial statements. And we’ll wait and see if he gets off the hook with a slap on the wrist or completely scot-free. Or heaven forbid actually held accountable for leaving. If you didn’t know “accountable” and “accounting” are etymologically related. Other than that things like oaths of office or the Hippocratic Oath being a bad joke that scammers are allowed to ignore the idea of accounting is to show via financial statements that an entity is financially healthy. And it’s pretty easy to find an unscrupulous accountant to look the other way and not pay attention to your Enron. That Enron that’s paying you a big fee for your seal of approval.
This isn’t about unscrupulous accountants though, other than how it applies to scrupulous accountants (both of them) and how Trump got a benefit by alternating between how super valuable things were when it comes to insurance and loan issues. Then being super poor when it comes time to pay taxes. When people get a choice between paying someone else money and getting a benefit and not paying money, unsurprisingly they choose the latter.
There is no doubt Hubbard fits the definition of a tout. I’m especially fond of the term used there, scamdicapper, and will endeavor to work it into everyday conversation as much as possible. Calling Hubbard’s marketing tactics as aggressive is an understated insult to the word aggressive. The shameless self-promotion can be a huge turn off for some, but some is not all. And even if only short term people can and do fall for the, “You too can live the thug lifestyle!” content. And nothing is cooler and more thug than verbally assaulting your enemies.
That is, when with zero accounting oversight your valuation is all over the map. We have this site proclaiming that Zach is worth a ludicrous amount of money - https://gematriacalculator.org/gematria-effect-news/. And this site that indicates he’s wasting his time and energy on YouTube - https://tz.youtubers.me/gematria-effect-news/youtube-estimated-earnings/en.amp. Neither of the two remaining scrupulous accountants have weighed in on the actual income. Like a defendant that can’t get a lawyer since previous lawyers weren’t paid, all we have to go on is Zach’s good word.
And calling Zach’s words on his personal valuation “all over the map”, is an insult to that phrase. One day he’s begging for new subscribers because not enough people support the work. Acting like he’d gladly clean your windshield for a nickel, he’s so desperate. And as it suits him, he’ll remind you of the house, the car, the girlfriend, the being the bestest truther ever, the bestest sports scamdicapper ever, whatever it takes to gain the admiring thug wannabe to pay attention. Long enough to get a Patreon subscription.
The list of detractors seems to be growing each week of the NFL season. Luck has not been kind to him with several strange upsets happening, and the more natural somewhere around 50% of picks being correct. The detractors are mentioning all the important talking points. The after the fact decodes. Picking both teams. Lying to cover up incorrect picks. Counterattacking the detractors. And the manner of those counterattacks is extremely juvenile and uncalled for. It’s hard to believe, but his current crew of “believers” seems to include black people that apparently don’t mind the historical nasty, racist comments, religious folks that don’t mind that according to him “all Christians are stupid”, and who knows how many unseen faceless YouTube accounts are owned by overweight, nerdy, cat owning people. All of which have had the misfortune of standing up for themselves because Zach’s marketing plan is to be a sociopath above and beyond meaningful content.
Fortunately I have an excuse to end this here. My dog alternates between being super cool and the saddest thing ever when he wants a cookie. And it’s that time now, but I’m not going to tell you which reason he’s using to get that cookie.
