RE: Freewrite Day 492 Double Crossed
I'm not sure if it is good or bad that I am not playing any of those games. I don't have the time right now, but, people are truly addicted to some of them!
Which, of course, means I will have to look at them some time soon. :)
Hope all is well with you.

I don't think it is wise to look into things that suck people in LOL. Better run the other way. Steem is a timesuck already :)
OMG!! You are so funny! Steem is a timesuck!!! Big time! LOL I haven't played any of the games and I am sure I won't be able to, even if I wanted to. I am not a huge tv person or things of addictive nature, so it probably wouldn't hang on to my attention.
But, you are right!
I go in to magic dice once or twice a day. It is so boring and I am never bored. You, set a parameter, click once, win or lose, and then do it again if you want to. I only do it one time for each of three blogs to be "active" in there in order to get a chance for the fat votes they give. During this 2 minute event, I see others on the feed who do it 10 times and lose, lose, lose. It's really amazing to see. They were there before I got there and still there when I leave.
Oh, my!! No thank you!! You have to lose something, right? SD? $$ Can you smell my ignorance?
Consistently losing and playing again?
Sounds like a habit that went rampant! Yikes! :)
I usually win. I am betting .25 steem and get .26 steem back. I am betting that the dice will be 1-93. If it goes to 94-100, I lose the whole .25.
But I have only lost once or twice and the votes I have so far are about $9, I think. And I get dividends from some offer they did a few weeks ago.
I've read posts about people losing ALL their liquid steem in minutes.
Wow! You will probably laugh at this, but, I never have .25 steem left over. Silly, right? Well, I don't have much SP, but, I don't grow very much or fast because all of my available cash goes into tip money. Especially on #MarketFriday, if I have 25 people post, which sometimes there is more, I tip them on my post and theirs so that is 50 tips alone and then there are always comments on it, so that may be another small bunch.. it adds up and then I usually post every single day and yes, it has become habit to tip everyone.
I sometimes wonder if that small tip means anything or am I just wasting my money?
That is a tough one to answer. I don't know. It feels good to do it, but, if it is a waste of $$ - I don't want to do that either. Right?
Oh, decisions, decisions!!
You are one of a few people who tips me, and I totally appreciate it each time. I have on my list to look into it for myself since my vote also is not worth much.
At the moment, I lease delegated sp with steem and also power down each week to live off the cash. I also post a lot more than you on two blogs, so we have different paradigms here.
But wow! That is a lot of tipping!
Well, that is actually nice to hear. I know people thank me, but, I never knew if it was the gesture of if they really liked tips.
I have no actual dollars to work with to do anything like leasing but, I am okay with that. You do post a lot more and I used to post a couple of times a day, but, found that working full time and posting is hard, especially if I cannot tend to steeming while at work. (phones are in lockers) Anyway... I found that people would only ever vote on my top post, it didn't matter if I posted twenty times a day.
So, I cut it down to one. I needed a bit of balance in life and I still had so many obligations here and still had other sites to tend to, but have since cut down on them to allow more steemit time. ;)
Tipping is a good tool, but, I can see that what happens is we all start tipping everyone when I started out, it was to reward the above and beyonders. LOL
Oh, well, I love doing it anyway.
I love your tips!! It feels nice. That said, if you burn all your earnings and more, it is not very sustainable. My strategy has been to power up as much as I can so I can give out bigger and bigger votes...
To me, that was the more sustainable options since until very recently, I really couldn't afford to invest any fiat into the Steemverse and with all the freewriters I want to award, I couldn't have tipped very often.
So, know that every one of your tips has indirectly voted on a freewriter 😄
Haha! Well, that makes me feel good.
I say I use it all, Marianne, @mariannewest but, I actually use less than half because the other is powered right up. I am moving slower perhaps is what I mean. But, yes, the upvote would be nice a little bigger.
I am hardly ever with a lot of SP - if you don't upvote, some see it as an insult, but, using SP when you only have 30 or 40% is the kiss of death. It has been difficult to find a good balance, but, someday, I will have enough SP to not worry about it. ;)
Wish in one hand....
And I am happy to hear you love tips! I love giving them! ❤️

🎁 Hi @mariannewest! You have received 0.1 STEEM tip from @dswigle!
@dswigle wrote lately about: The Love That Illuminated My Heart Feel free to follow @dswigle if you like it :)
Sending tips with @tipU - how to guide :)
Just feels like a waste of time to me. If I play cards, I want to do that with people in the room... Just an RL person in many ways. 🤪
I have never done any of those, but we do have a game night here at the house! ;)
Come on over!
I love to!! Next trip LOL
Game night is so fun! All of my family still loves it and the ones who don't live home, but, close enough come home for it. We try to make it on a telecommuting day (Yes! We have those here, courtesy of Uncle Sam and the Washington, DC commute!)
One night I crushed them in scrabble (okay, I always do) and now nobody will play with me. Pfffft. Babies! Mama needs to feel like a winner! LOL
I hear this week is going to be Apples to Apples... I haven't played that in a while. We do have poker night when my brothers come in bands of two or three. :)
You too, Denise, @dswigle. I had on my list to go check on you. I hope everything is going good with you now. We missed you!
Well, you know I really missed doing #MarketFriday, but, it just wasn't meant to be last week. That never happens.
It will be up and running next week.
