Just moved recently and got everything hooked up—tower, monitor, both plugged in. Lights are on everywhere: tower, screen, keyboard, mouse... everything looks powered up, but I'm getting zero image on the monitor.

When I hit the power button, the indicator light goes green for a second, then flips to orange.

I tried unplugging the video cable from the tower, and the screen says NO SIGNAL, so at least I know the monitor itself isn't dead.

What am I missing here?

Christian Hernandez11 said:You’ve got to wager five times the amount to clear those withdrawal fees. In your case, that's $100.

Any idea what the actual fee is? I saw somewhere they mention 3%. If it’s just 3%, I can live with that.

Andrew Howard14 said:Las Vegas doesn't have much depth and lacks half-time markets. They stick to moneyline, Asian handicap, totals, corners, and basic props like correct score or odd/even. If you want actual variety, go with Bet365; otherwise, Las Vegas is your best bet.

@James Thomas80/">@@James Thomas80, backing is what the regular bettor does; laying is playing the house. Right now, the blue and red colors show the best odds, while gray is the next tier down. Try clicking a back bet and putting $10 in the stake box on the right—you'll see how the payouts shift based on the outcome. Same goes for laying. Just watch out with lays; if you lay at 3.0 odds with a $10 stake and lose, you aren't just out ten bucks—you're out twenty, because you're acting as the bookie against someone else's $10 bet. Betfair also has a standard sportsbook option, but honestly, the odds there are trash...

Thanks for breaking that down. That "sportbook" section actually looks like exactly what I was hunting for; I probably wouldn't have found it on my own.

One more thing: I put $20 into my Las Vegas account, but now I realize I don't actually want to gamble there. When I try to withdraw, they're giving me some runaround about needing to place five bets first.

Can I just place a tiny minimum bet—what even is the minimum?—on something with 1.05 odds just to clear the requirement and get my cash back?

DraftKings has half-time/full-time markets, but it’s pretty confusing...http://www.draftkings.com/exchange/plus...et/1.117566520 Why are the odds all over the place? That part underneath is supposedly about the stake, but the math between the stake and the odds makes zero sense... plus, what the hell does "back all" and "lay all" even mean?

Post a screenshot instead of copy-pasting. This mess is unreadable.

Here’s the match and the breakdown: http://www.pinnaclesports.com/Contes...ain/Lines.aspx

From what I know, BetMGM isn't exactly top-tier when it comes to breakdowns.

I tried, but I couldn't figure out how. It’s basically just as confusing as my copy-paste, except the headers at the top shift right and line up weirdly with the numbers below... it looks fine on the main matches page, so I don't know how you landed on this specific view. What you posted actually looks decent enough now.

Whatever, they don't even have halftime/fulltime betting here. The selection is weak.

Just signed up for BetMGM, but the layout is a mess. I can't even find basic stuff like halftime or full-time markets; honestly, half the menu makes zero sense. For example, they show it like this:

HDP HOME AWAY O/U OVER UNDER

FIFA - UEFA Champions League

12:45 Chelsea-vs-Paris 1 3.130 1.409 1.5-2 1.497 2.730 +3

12:45 Chelsea-vs-Paris 0-0.5 1.775 2.200 2.5 2.250 1.719 +3
03/11
12:45 Chelsea-vs-Paris 0.0 1.471 2.880 2.5-3 2.650 1.526 +3

Their notation is total gibberish to me. Anyone can explain what this means, or better yet, suggest a sportsbook that actually uses common sense?

Fixed it.
I'm designing some flyers, and I set everything up in Microsoft Word so the contact info sits right at the bottom edge. But every time I hit print, the software pushes those lines up, leaving this massive gap of dead space at the bottom.

Starting a small business in Business, Accounting & Taxes ·
I’m looking to jump into online reselling, but I’m a complete novice here. What am I actually looking at? Do I need to keep every single receipt? How much tax am I going to get hit with, and how does that work? Also, does my inventory need official documentation, or can I just ship small packages through the mail like people do on Craigslist? One more thing—will I be getting slapped with extra customs fees on stuff I order from overseas, similar to how it works when you buy something for yourself personally?
