What is the roulette guide and what will you find in these chapters?
The roulette is one of the most popular casino games and popular in the world, but how can you target between types of spinners, strategies and tricks? This Roulette Guide explains everything you need to start playing or perfecting your playing techniques and the specific roulette terms.
The history of roulette
We all know roulette, but few of us are really aware of its true origins: as in all ancient and traditional games, also for roulette there are several "older" versions that have helped give it the appearance and rules it has today. The first official mention of the name “roulette”, with reference to the game (which is still among the protagonists of the casino world), dates back to the beginning of the 18th century in France: roulette was called that for the first time in 1716 Bordeaux. The fact that it is of French origin is a true fact, but the games it was inspired by came from other European countries:
· The Biribissi and Hoca of Italy
· Ace of Hearts and EO : (the initials of the latter indicate “Even” and “Odd” that is, even and odd, in English) from Great Britain
· Portique of French tradition
The rules of roulette
Understanding this lively form of entertainment is covered in general and then in greater depth in this chapter of this roulette game guide: the rules of the game, the look of the table, the types of bets and the various rewards. to which you have access. To play, in fact, you need to know the wheel and its appearance before betting on roulette: there are 37 boxes, which house the numbers from 0 to 36, each of them alternately red or black, except for the number 0 that does not correspond to no color. According to the preferences of each player and the development of the game, there are different betting strategies, both internal and external:
· Odd or even numbers
· If numbers between 1 and 18 or between 19 and 36 come out
· If the red numbers or black numbers come out on the roulette wheel
There are also much more complex betting strategies for higher level players, which will be explained in the chapters dedicated to gaming systems and advanced strategies, which can be used in both live roulette and online roulette .
How do you play roulette? Clarification of the essential standards and structure of the roulette table
Before playing, it helps to familiarize yourself with the spinning wheel of roulette, as well as the basic rules of the game and roulette methods. Each wheel is isolated into 37 areas (38 in American roulette), every one of which is described by a number going from 0 to 36. Except for 0 (or, when present, double 0) which is green, all other numbers have a red or black background. The dealer throws the game ball in the opposite direction to which the wheel spins and, depending on the position where the ball will stop, the end-product of the wager itself and its last rewards can be found.
The differences between bets and payout levels
After you have learned all there is to know about the rules and appearance of roulette, before you start playing, it is essential to know the differences between the bets and the rewards for those who play roulette. Truth be told, it is conceivable to wager on various mixes, every one of which compares to an alternate cost. For example, with a "plein" type bet, that is, on a single number, you win 35 times the amount wagered. The Betsson guide will explain all types of bets and the differences between them!
Roulette rule variants: from European to American
To begin to define the differences between the different types of roulette, it is important to start from the geographical variants:
French Roulette : Also known as French roulette and European roulette, it is the most widely recognized. It has 37 boxes with numbers from 0 to 36. It is played with three dealers.
English Roulette : It shares the number of boxes, 37, with French Roulette, but in this variation of the game, the game is played by a single dealer.
American roulette : compared to European roulette, it has one more box, for a total of 38, dedicated to double 0. The odds of triumph for the player are more unpredictable, however don't be debilitated: expertise and karma are fundamental! As in English roulette, there is only one dealer
There is also another variant of roulette, known as 'double-ball' which is played with a second ball and which can double your bets if both balls land on the same square.
However, what diversifies the game of roulette is not only the rules and the type of roulette, but also the support with which you can play your games: in addition to the traditional live mode (i.e. live) in the casinos have long been possible to play online too. At the same time, online gambling differs into two categories:
· Online roulette
· Live online roulette
The first category is available at any time for each player, who will find himself in a challenge against the computer; In live online roulette, on the other hand, live dealers are used to place bets, play online and compete against other online players at the same time.
All about strategies to play roulette
If you play often, you already know: strategy is essential in order to optimize your winnings and get the most benefit from each game. This also applies to live (and electronic) roulette. Initially, there are three main types of strategies:
The fundamental procedures, (for example, reformist and non-reformist wagers)
Game systems (such as D'Alambert and Fibonacci)
Advanced strategies such as knowledge of the dealer's hand and predictive play
In order to help you get better and better, level up and maximize your earnings. The Betsson roulette guide explores all the best strategies, from the easiest to the most complex, perfect for professional players, so you can learn to play the best and most effective way.
The basic strategy of roulette
The progressive strategy is what sets the starting point for many roulette players.When playing it is in every case great to complete an arrangement for your wagers: for this situation, the procedure you can follow was formulated by John Henry Martingale, a gambling club head honcho who lived in the late nineteenth century.
The strategy of the martingale system is based on placing a bet with 2 odds on the outer sections of the wheel, which pay 1 to 1: if you lose, you must double the bet each time until that much desired victory arrives.
Roulette systems and their effectiveness
In addition to various statistical and probability suggestions, each game system brings with it some specific notions about the dynamics that should be followed during games. This guide explains how the most famous game systems work: from Martingale to Martingale backwards, from Paroli to D'Alambert, going through Fibonacci to the fixed 9 system or the James Bond system, created by the writer of the well known operator's books mystery, Ian Fleming. Actually, the essayist discloses how to succeed at roulette because of his framework, to such an extent that it has become a truly acknowledged procedure.
The advanced roulette strategy
When the going gets tough, the tough start to play: advanced game strategies for playing roulette include inside and outside bets, but also convincing and detailed elements to study with dedication. Some examples? It is possible to focus on factors such as the knowledge of the "dealer's signature" (ie the dealer's hand) and the analysis of the "wheel bias" (ie the variation / deviation of the wheel),yet in addition the utilization of the "visual ballistic", that is, the prescient game, on account of which it is conceivable to "foresee" the aftereffect of the round by considering the deceleration of the ball and different subtleties that the genuine fans handle right away.
Glossary and common questions about roulette
The game of roulette is accompanied by a series of typical expressions, of French origin, intended to guide the game and monitor the progress during the games. An example of specific roulette language: “faites vos jeux”, which corresponds to the Spanish “place your bets”, is an expression that the vendor reports to show the launch of the table and the accessibility to begin another game.

Don't rent a car in Europe because it's expensive, slow and a pain-in-the-ass compared to public transport. Yeah, I get it "you don't mind long drives". I grew up road-tripping as a kid and once drove from Toronto to Ottawa for lunch so I know the feeling. However, you need to approach the trip differently when you take increased fuel costs/tolls/parking and the availability of public transport.
As a general rule, driving is not a very good way to get from point A to point B in most of the itineraries that we see on travel; in France, most people will think you're insane if you say "I'm going to rent a car in Paris to go to Nice for a weekend". That's at least nine hours behind the wheel, 77 EUR in tolls and about 80 EUR in fuel instead of a direct TGV in six hours (there's a train today for 70 EUR and you can find them for as low as 20 EUR). You also don't need to rent or park the TGV upon arrival ;).
All that said, buying a car in France was one of the best decisions that I made while living in Grenoble. Road trips to/in San Sebastian/Pamplona/Bordeaux, the Algarve, Barcelona, Corsica, Lake Como, Cassis/Les Calanques/Gorge du Verdun, Belgium/Luxembourg and Slovenia/Croatia were unforgettable and having a car was an amazing way to get off the (super-well-)beaten-trail. So I would highly recommend renting a car in Europe when the trip calls for it.
Anyway, here are some things that I think people should think about while deciding to rent or not in Europe. Keep in mind that most of my driving experience was in France and Northern Italy. In countries without tolls the costs will obviously go down.
Fuel * Right now in France you're looking at about 1.40 EUR per litre (2.20 CAD per litre, or 6 USD per gallon). At that price, it would have cost me 120 CAD to fill up my car! * Highways will have the most expensive fuel, followed by brand-name gas stations. I bought almost all my fuel at the big grocery stores (Carrefour, Casino, Leclerc and the like).
Tolls * The French highway system is great, I miss the hell out of it every time I get back on a 400-series highway in Ontario * But you pay for it. Over the two years I had my car, I spent almost as much on tolls as I did on diesel. * One really rough example is Grenoble to Turin. It's under three hours but you'll rack up 16 EUR to get to the Italian border + 45 EUR for the Fréjus Tunnel + 14 EUR to get the rest of the way to Turin. Flixbus would cost 15-20 EUR. * Italy takes this a step further with ZTLs. Did you miss this sign? Now you've got a fine coming! * Some countries require you to have a sticker in order to use their highways. In Switzerland this is 40 CHF whether you use the highway for a day or a year. * Note: you can use ViaMichelin to get an idea of tolls and fuel costs
Parking * If you're used to parking in wide-open lots for free then this is the stuff of nightmares. If you're parallel parking on-street in a French city then there's a very good chance that you'll be making bumper contact with the cars in front and behind you. * unless you're in the countryside you'll probably be paying (maybe out the nose) for parking. I paid 50 EUR to park for two nights in Barcelona. * Theft of belongings is a huge problem. An unscientific poll of my friends shows like 90% of them having had a window smashed and something stolen at least once
Sometimes a rental is a great idea, sometimes it's an unbelievably poor one. The important thing to do is to actually evaluate your options and figure out what works best for you.

• Ask yourself if you really need it? You may only need a rental for a few days in the middle of the trip, especially if doing so can help you avoid one-way drop-off fees. You certainly don't need the car because you want to be flexible during your week in Venice-Rome-Florence!
• Use ViaMichelin (website or app) to get an idea of tolls. Occasionally choosing one highway over another can save you a fair amount.
• Use online aggregates to find the best deal
• Keep the parking situation in mind when you're planning something. AirBnB's are notorious for saying "free parking" when really they mean "you can park somewhere in the neighbourhood" that may-or-may-not be free.
• Learn how to drive a manual. Even if you reserve an automatic, it's not a 100% guarantee that they'll have one when you get to the desk.

What have your experiences with rental cars been like?
Have you rented a car and wished you didn't need to find parking in Amsterdam and Brussels? Or have you tried to visit a chain of far-flung villages before wishing you'd taken a rental?

Welcome to this post fellow redditors! With the Euro 2016 less than 6 months away, it is time to introduce the stadiums that will host the fixtures of this tournament. For each city, you will find an in-depth description of the stadium, a photo album and a link to the city guide made by UEFA. Let me know if I made some mistakes or oversights. I hope you enjoy the reading!
Nota Bene:

• All kick-off times of the fixtures are CET.
  
• The names of the stadiums have been standardized for the Euro 2016 if their name is from a naming deal (this is the case for Bordeaux and Nice stadiums). The current names of the stadium can be found in brackets.
  
• All inauguration dates of the renovated stadiums are for the renovation for the Euro 2016 except for the Parc des Princes where the renovations were too minor to consider an inauguration date.

Spend some of your happiest days here on United States’ very own Latin American island in the Caribbean Sea. Puerto Rico is not only stunning all around, there are so many things to do and the food simply can not be beat. We always reminisce about our Puerto Rican food encounters because it truly is indescribable. You shouldn’t sleep on the mofongos (mashed plantain dish) here… my mouth is watering as I am typing this. Check out what we think is a time well spent in Puerto Rico below and plan your trip itinerary planner.

Old San Juan

Old San Juan is by far the most important part of the city because it is the oldest settlement of the island being established in 1521 and is located on the Isleta de San Juan. Come and admire the colorful buildings that have been beautifully restored to keep their charm and the original cobblestone streets. Enjoy a typical Puerto Rican meal at any of the delicious restaurants or open air cafes.
​
San Juan National Historic Site & Castillo San Felipe del Morro
https://preview.redd.it/84i57q9tz0421.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c03dc75c94a9dbcf6268cc47d6457914dad318a
For the sole fact that this Citadel and National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you should pay a visit here and learn how the Spanish built this MASSIVE fort in the 16th century and how they defended themselves against their enemies for hundreds of years to come.
​
Castillo San Cristobal
https://preview.redd.it/ubyhnr2201421.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23ad62ab481ee801187a36c96ed920779c21bc88
This fort is located close by the San Juan Historic Site and is considered to be part of the Site’s package. The purpose of this fort was to prevent land attacks from intruders and for this reason, 27 acres that wrapped around San Juan have been preoccupied since 1783. Castillo San Cristobal is known for being the largest fort built by the Spanish in the New World so stop by to complete the defense trifecta that has helped Puerto Rico stay safe.
​
Paseo Tablado La Guancha
On the other side of the island in the city of Ponce, is where you can find the Paseo Tablado La Guancha, which is a boardwalk overlooking the Club Nautico de Ponce. This boardwalk is known for its many restaurants serving local foods and it’s beautiful night strolls that can lead right onto the beach. Come and enjoy the delicious foods and second most visited city of Ponce next time you visit Puerto Rico.
​
Museo de Las Américas
On of the most historical buildings in San Juan now houses the Museo de Las Américas. Prior to being converted into a museum in 1992 the building had many uses. Built in the 1800’s by the Spanish army, the buildings original purpose was to house soldiers and their families. But, not only did it serve as a residence, but also storage, jail cells, stables, once bombed and even turned into a hospital. Now after all that history it have fittingly been converted into a museum showcasing the developmental influences of the Americas.
​
Puerta de San Juan
Puerta De San Juan is a large gate what was used as the main entry into the city during the colonial era that dates back to the mid 1600’s. This isn’t just some gate that you’ll take a picture of and forget. It’s a 20+ foot passageway that used to be only one of five ways to enter the walled off city. But before getting there and snapping photos and selfies immediately, take time to immerse yourself in the moment. Take yourself back into to what it must’ve been like to enter or exit the gate. From the city outward you’ll be greeted with a breathtaking view of the bay and notice the significance of the large red gate. From the bay inward it’s a welcoming to a vibrant city ready to welcome you with open arms. This truly is one of the hidden gems of Puerto Rico which had an extremely deep impact for us!
​
Casa Bacardi
https://preview.redd.it/exhmldd901421.jpg?width=825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d55e779ba1448f0417cfb99e2a9293c5e2a2d812
Everywhere in the world is known for having a go to alcohol, whether its having a nice bordeaux in Bordeaux, France or a Sweetwater 420 in Atlanta, Georgia, Puerto Rico is the land of Bacardi! Although it wasn’t founded or headquartered in Puerto Rico, the largest rum distillery in the world is here and that calls for a visit! Take a tour, have a taste, and grab a bottle to bring home! If in San Juan you have the choice to drive around Bahia de San Juan or you can take a ferry across the bay to get there.
​
El Yunque National Forest
​
On the east side of the island the El Yunque National Forest is waiting to be explored by the inner adventurer in you! This tropical rainforest offers breathtaking sights with plenty of waterfalls, rivers, trails and treetop walkways to venture off into. Around 30 miles (45km) outside of San Juan makes it easily accessible for a day trip out of the city. Our recommendation, rent a car for the day, explore the National Forest and then continue to go around the surrounding towns or to the east coast of the island.
​
Isla Verde
​
Isla Verde is located on the Northern Coast of the island just outside of San Juan. Know for its luxurious hotels that line it’s beautiful beach front make it the perfect place to stay outside of the city. Being right next to the airport, 15 minutes from San Juan, and only 3o minutes from El Yunque National Forest makes it the perfect place to be to enjoy all that Puerto Rico has to offer! On the beach there are plenty of water sport rentals for a reasonable price and if you like to test your luck the El San Juan Hotel and Casino isn’t far. If you’re looking for a more natural beach area and want to get away from all the beachfront high rises, head down to Piñoneswhere you can be surrounded by plenty of mangroves and vegetation. And finally while in Puerto Rico there will never be a shortage of delicious, to die for food. Just keep and ear out for where the locals love to dine, that’s always a good bet!

The most spontaneous option is this:

1. Book a flight to Nice.
2. Leave tomorrow at 6:45, switch in brussels, land in nice at 15. or 3PM.
3. Book a hostel bunk bed in nice, and
4. Start commuting to Monaco for jobs and networking.

Since I am danish I am part of EU. I don't need visa, and even if Denmark was out of eu, it would still be on the top 5 of least visas required to visit other countries. Some 195 is countries I don't need a visa for. and I have visited before.
I did have 3 years middle school french, 300+ hours spent in duolingo in 2017-2018 also the stories which is technically beta but good for comprehension. I would say I lie on CEFR-level A2 or B1. though duolingo helped me climb up to B2 at times. I highly doubt my pronounciation and comprehension and fluidity in forming sentences and paragraphs is that great.
​
Sometimes you learn the best by going to the places right?
Unless of course, you end up stuck with a janitor job.
​
I am 27. there is no way IUM, Monaco is going to accept me to their university. students have to finish masters before age 25 to be attractive for the work environnement. that is just how it is. It is a shame, because the curriculum is in english and I fee lfairly confident in my english abilities.
I want a higher education. I dropped out of molecular biology pretty quickly because I just wasn't that academically strong. I had forgotten the foundations of chemistry. now I am trying to get into something like business /portefolio mangement or the like . Equally as challenging but more rewardign in terms of money and future possibilities. I hear.
​
​
last time I was there, I had to sleep in a bunk bed in a hostel in Nice. the part of the city was dirty, the train station super rusty. not what you would expect when thinking of france. I still saw the occasional jetsetter bordeaux suits takign the farily well kept trains.
​
right now, living in a heavily refurbished barn( on okay house actually), with my father seems abit more advantageous. I can get my educationfor free here in Denmark. paid by taxes. EXCEPT: The chances of me gettign into the the prestigeous educations are equally as slim, if not worse: when nobody has to pay, grades are what matters most. and my gpa on the third year sucked. I can still try to get some educations to become an accountant or financial controller. the y still pay well and are challenging and tough. But I would likely still feel thatI was wastign my life away here in Denmark.
​
I noticed in myself and others, sometimes, when people want to "get away" it is really more a matter of "getting out of poverty" / middle class life.
​
But monaco does have a 0% tax as long as 80% of the money are earned within the principality. I can't open up a casino obviously. But maybe I can accelerate my earnign power better over 20 years, than over 20 years in Denmark.
​
right now, it feels like there is a 70-90% chance I would jsut end up homeless within a year. I don't speak the language-.> I might as well be speaking in tongues. I have $17k saved up which could be stretched to a year.
​
I just hate the thought of me getting stuck in some middle class life where the best cse scenario is that I would probably be able to buy a slightly nicer briefcase, but I still wouldn't ever be able to send my kids to boarding school, nor have my own serious airplane or yacht. And this is what Monaco symbolizes for me. here in Denmark, with our taxes, I would feel strangled by vines.
​
not to say that I don'tthink taxes are great. they are. its just that I want more out of life than others. at least I hope so.
​
I have in the past made drastic attemots at reinventing myself. in LA, and in Bangkok. with serious projects in mind. which was only partially successful.
And I don't want to be partially successful.

Thursday 04/02/2016, 19:00, France Ligue 1 Round 24 Rennes vs St Etienne Preview Rennes had the great opportunity to win on the road against Bordeaux, as the home side was plagued by injuries. They failed miserably and allowed four goals without scoring ones, so they need to pick up the points on Thursday when they take on St. Etienne. The visitors were definitely frustrating to drop points against PSG after playing pretty well for the first 45 minutes, but there's very little anyone can do against the reigning champions. Rennes vs St Etienne Odds At Boylesports Rennes 2.20, Draw 3.30, St Etienne 3.50 Rennes vs St Etienne Tips St. Etienne is famous for its ability to keep clean sheets both at home and on the road, but home pitch advantage is essential for this team. This season they continue this trend and most of the points were secured in front of their fans, while their performance on the road has been mediocre at best. Splitting points used to be the rule for St. Etienne when they were visiting other stadiums, but in 2015 they were not that successful. Overall, just one game ended undecided while the team was defeated on seven occasions and picked just 10 points away from home. It's going to be even more difficult for them to prevail at Rennes now that they have six players mending injuries and unfit to play. The hosts are hoping to recuperate most of the players still doubtful, but three of them are guaranteed not to featuring the starting formation. One defender, one midfielder and one striker will be watching the game from the stands, including Gourcuff. Other players are expected to step up and hopefully make his absence go unnoticed and the good news is that the offensive is virtually intact. The last couple of years were pretty good for Rennes and they used to win most of the games at home, but this season things took a turn for the worse. In 11 games played in front of their fans, they only managed to win on three occasions, while five games ended undecided. Luckily for them, their fortunes changed on the road, but by the end of the season they need to finish with the positive record at home as well. Key Facts The 4-0 defeat to Bordeaux was a wake-up call for Rennes and will prompt him to go for all three points. St. Etienne has won very few games on the road and draws are increasingly difficult to secure. Rennes vs St Etienne Prediction Under normal circumstances, this match will be a good candidate for a draw, but given St. Etienne's performance this season, this result seems unlikely. Since they only won three times away from home, it makes perfect sense to trust Rennes once again, especially now when Boylesports offers odds of 2.20 on them to prevail. Bet: Rennes @ 2.20 with Boylesports

Friday 26/02/2016, 20:30, France Ligue 1, Round 16 Nice vs Bastia Preview It's been a while since Nice managed to win a game and their only victory in February was a narrow margin win over Toulouse. The home side should have another great opportunity of adding three more points on Friday when they take on Bastia, a team that has serious problems in playing on the road. Nice vs Bastia Odds At Ladbrokes Nice 1.80, Draw 3.50, Bastia 5.00 Nice vs Bastia Tips Nice was unlucky to lose against Monaco and then split points in the Derby of the South against Marseille and then were held scoreless on the road at Bordeaux. Scoring goals has been a major problem for tonight's hosts, but the good news is that some of their key players have returned to fitness. The injury list still includes for footballers, but most of them playing defensive roles and their absence can be dealt with. The fact that they sit in the third-place is reassuring, but the chances of moving up the ladder are slim to none. Nice will be glad to finish in the third-place because this will present the team with a chance of playing the qualification round of the Champions League. The thing is that four other teams are within striking distance and a single false that could allow any of them to overtake Nice. Home pitch advantage has been vital for Nice throughout the season and Bastia can surely relate to this situation. On the road they managed to win just one game, by far the worst performance of all French teams this season. They don't travel to southern France trying to win all points and would gladly settle for one, as this would help them put some distance between them and the teams threatened with relegation. Bastia managed to win back-to-back games for the second time this season and the most important thing is that they kept a clean sheet on both occasions. One month ago, they also defeated Lyon at home, only to be defeated by Monaco one week later. A defensive starting formation will travel to Nice and the top priority will be to avoid conceding a goal. Key Facts Nice will come out firing on all cylinders, while Bastia will try to break their rhythm and push the match to a draw. The two teams are perfectly matched, with each of them winning seven games so far and drawing five. Nice vs Bastia Prediction Nice is highly motivated to win this match, because unless they managed to accumulate a lot of points at home, their chances of securing a Champions League berth are extremely low. Ladbrokes offers odds of 1.80 for a home win, which is decent value under these circumstances and just enough to warrant a bet. Bet: Nice @ 1.80 with Ladbrokes

[This is effectively the history of my longest term character, Echo, who I played from 2051 to the 70's]
Ok, so you want to know the story of an old hand in the shadows? Fine. I won’t bother much with anything that happened before the 50’s, save that I was born and bred to a working-class family in Everett in ’27. Like many kids of blue collar stiffs in the metroxplex, life didn’t work out too well. I was pulling jobs before I finished school. Turns out I was ok at it because I had a key advantage – patience. After my first few runs I realised that confidence and arrogance gets you killed. So I built a process and for the next few years I worked it religiously. I took small time runs, kept my head down and out of trouble, worked the streets and my contacts like a job, made hay while I could and waited for an opportunity, which for me came in 2051.
That year was a watershed - fashion was awesome, music was good, and I was starting to pull jobs that left me with a lot of nuyen and access to people willing to do obscene acts to get it. My big break came when the big hitters like Fuchi finally got the idea that their corp spies and street agents stuck out like sore thumbs when trying to track down people that had done a run against them. Their solution? Hiring runners permanently to act as covert hit squads. Bloody business, but it came with guaranteed cash plus huge bonuses for timely kills. So when my crew got approached by a Johnson some time in a seedy club in uptown, how could we refuse? For the first few years it was easy money. No one knew who was bumping off runners, and no one suspected legit teams to be in on the deal. We spent most of our time setting up fake runs against Fuchi to maintain cover, while quickly tracing and putting down those who do it for real.
That didn't last long though. In 2055 someone hit a teleporting SAN into the Fuchi North America PLTG and ID'ed my teammate Arkady (Freebaser, on account of his prodigious novacoke habit) as a hitter through an internal memo. For the next 5 years it was all about damage control. People soon worked out that I (Echo) along with Hannah (Scarlet), Akiko (Adders) and Rie (Primetime) had all been working against the very people we were supposed to be down with. Life in the shadows became lonely after that, and we were forced to take on new faces and new ID's to get by and had to rebuild street reps for new streetnames. We did okay, and managed to make a few choice hits over the next few years, but things were never the same. Everyone was all 'once bitten, twice shy.'
Things between Hannah and me, which had gotten quite good after a few years, abruptly ended when she took on with a fellow mage. My lack of astral sensitivity was too big a barrier between us, but I suspect my newly reconstructed face was also too hard to deal with. By 2057 we were relegated to just another black ops squad performing runs against Fuchi's enemies. The work was good, but abruptly became more difficult during the Corp War. From June 6 2059 an undeclared war reigned in the shadows, with black squads from various corps hitting each other to gain some form of advantage in an increasingly erratic market. I killed a lot of people in those engagements. Fortunately for me, they were a lot of the people that resented me for hitting against 'the code' so long ago. The work got more and more dangerous, and our various corporate handlers got more and more desperate. The result? increased payments. We were working like dogs but living like kings. It was too good to be true.
How right I was. June 2060 happened and then it all went to hell for a second time. What a fucking mess. The numbered corp we worked for got picked up in the Fuchi buyout. So, like all good company men, we present ourselves on the Matrix to our new masters at Shiawase MIFD. Things did not go according to plan, at least for me. Being Gaijin, of questionable loyalties and often used by Novatech aligned Fuchi subsidiaries, I was considered a liability, along with Arkady and Hannah. Akiko and Rie, despite being female were at least of Japanese ancestry. While our orders were to stay put, Akiko and Rie were ordered via their private communicators to eliminate us. Coolly, they walked into the living room of our safehouse and told us to disappear, that if they saw us again they would kill us themselves. At least the numbered corp didn't hold our corporate citizenship or bank accounts - they had been transferred (by whom? No idea) to Jintao O'Gorman Pan-Pacific Investment Fund, which became part of Novatech. I still have citizenship apparently, though given I was a Shiawase employee, albeit for about an hour, I'm most likely persona non-grata.
And with that the gravy train ended. We couldn't take any of our possessions, as it would arouse too much suspicion. To make matters worse, we had to provide bodies for them to display as proof of kill. To this day I've wondered which family never got to ID their son at the morgue. At least for once it wasn't me that put him there. I didn't ask Arkady and Hannah who they used and in fact I never spoke to the four of them again – at the time it was too difficult and now too long ago. I heard that Arkady ate pavement from upon high in ‘62 running guns in the Cascades, though my source wasn't 100% tight. Had a drink to his name in a bar in Tangier just to be on the safe side. Scarlet is, according to some of the folk still willing to chat on Shadowland, working out of Los Angeles as a film consultant. She's black now, really went all in on the ID change. Me? I tried to go back to work, but there was nothing for Echo, at least nothing that paid decent. Since I started hitting for the corps, my name was mud. I took on a new alias and a new market while the West Coast scene cooled down.
Trying to get across the Atlantic without a visa and a respectable ID is tough, and with no cash available to me I had to risk taking on with a ship’s crew for room and board as no T-bird runner would do it on credit, at least for me. I made port at Dakar. First night I paid a cab driver in little bottles of whiskey to take me from my flophouse to the pitfights. I signed up for the open division and within first week had killed half a dozen opponents at the cost of the better part of my right ear. Over time I built enough cash and street cred to move onto better things. I took on work for one a petty warlord that ran Nouakchott with delusions of a kingdom. The pay wasn't what I was used to, but it cost nothing to live and I was going to need to learn the lingo - a dialected French, but it would do - if I was going to make it as a prime runner in multilingual Europe. It was easy work, but some of the things we did… nightmare fuel. Out there, life was cheap and I was determined to make my way to a place where my ass was worth a drekload more currency.
After 6 months I split, along with about 100 grand in uncut diamonds, one of the warlord's girls and his Jeep. Apparently there used to be a cross country race that went from Dakar towards Morocco in the 2000's and, battered though the old map was, it got us to the straits of Gibraltar in one piece. I'd hoped things would be different with Jaineba, but she split about 4 days after I got to the straits along with the jeep about 30 grand worth of stones I'd hidden under the dash. I guess railing one of the girls of a violent sociopath in the back room of a makeshift casino doesn't make for a long-term relationship. I managed to buy passage on a boat shipping hash bound for Marseilles. From there, I made my way to Calais. It is in Calais that I would coin my new nom de guerre, Sands. I would spend the next decade making a name for myself in the Eurozone, mainly in France.
I focused on leveraging my contacts down south and did a brisk trade running magical reagents and stones out of Africa for a grey-market merchant collective out of Bordeaux. I had become moderately successful there, building a solid rep, network of contracts and had even started working regular side jobs with a couple of French brothers and a British expat page 3 girl. Then once again, my life went to shit when I found a message in my matrix drop box. It was from my brother, who must have spent a small fortune to track me down. Apparently he’s successful and married. Also turns out I have a niece, Keeley. She's very talented, and apparently she's gone missing. He asked to meet me, back in the old stomping ground, Seattle. At first I said "Fuck it, why should I drop this new life on account of him?" But then I realised I didn’t even know why I’d built this new life in the first place. I’d been living my life trusting the process – work the streets, make hay, be a good little saver, wait for things to go it drek, get out and start again. Family was as good a reason as any to get out and start again, again. So once more, life bails on me just as it turns good. Once more, I'm riding my luck on a last-minute fake ID hack job at customs for a suborbital to throw my ass in a parabolic arc west. Once more I'm hiding in a bolt hole that has somehow remained undisturbed for the better part of a decade and worrying about whether my beautiful life (and expensive gear) in France will be there when I get back. But that’s ok. I’ll survive – just got to trust the process.

Soooooo, apologies to all and especially to u/Sandi_flick. I must have overlooked the write-up for AS Monaco and put together a crappy wikipedia preview when there was one already made. I will admit that we used the same Stade Louis II picture, but u/sandi_flick has outdone me with the photo of the ridiculous training facility. And of course, more knowledge than i can get from francefootball and wiki.
So, with full apologies but without further ado .....

AS Monaco

History
AS Monaco was founded in 1919 when local clubs from France and Monaco combined to make a team in the French amateur division. In 1933 they were promoted to a professional league by the FFF, but they were relegated after the first season. In 1948 they made it back to the professional divisions, and in 1953 made it up to Ligue 1.
The first trophy was the Coupe de France, won in 1960 and the next season, 1961, Monaco won their first Ligue 1 championship. In the next season they also won the championship and the Coupe de France. All these trophies were won by manager Lucien Leduc who won again in 1978 and then left the club in 1979. There was a lot of domestic wins in this time period, but there was not much success in Europe and Monaco never made it into the knockout round of any European competitions. In 1985 Ștefan Kovács became manager in hopes he could find European success by using the tactics he used at Ajax in the 70's for a lot of success, but they didn't work and then Arsène Wegner was appointed manager from AS Nancy. He brought in and developed many great players such as Klinsmann, Weah, Henry, and Petit. He won the championship in his debut season. He was released after he negotiated to become the manager of Bayern, but he did not get the job and was then hired by a J-league team. Monaco won Ligue 1 in 1997 and 2000 and was then relegated due to a financial debt, even though they were runner up in the league. After promoted back to Ligue 1, Didier Deschamps was appointed manager but left after more financial issues. The mid-2000's was a dark time with the team being an average Ligue 1 team. In 2008 Jérôme de Bontin became head of the club and bought in young players such as /soccer favorite Freddy Adu but there was no success in these years. The club was relegated in 2011 after an 18th place finish.
In 2012 the team was bought by Dmitry Rybovlev who is a Russian billionaire from chemical companies. He invested a lot of money into the team after Claudio Ranieri led the team to a Ligue 2 championship and promotion in 2013. After the promotion, Rybovlev spend a lot of money to buy Falcao, James Rodriguez, and Joao Moutinho and to push for a league title in the first season back in Ligue 1, however the team finished second to PSG by 9 points.
Today the investment in big name players has dropped and the club focuses on developing young players and selling them at a profit. Rybovlev likes the club to be like a business and self-sustaining in finances. The big rivaly match is "Le Derby de la Côte d'Azur" against Nice, who are just a 20km drive away.
The City
Monaco is located in the south of France on the Côte d'Azur along the Mediterranean and close the the Italian border. It is its own country (technically a principality led by Prince Albert II who is a fan of the club and is frequently at matches) famous for the Grand Prix of Monaco where the drivers race on the city streets and near the yacht harbor. It is also famous for the casino and the tax haven status of the country.
Stadium
Monaco plays their matches in the Stade Louis II located in the Fontvielle district and was renovated in 1985. It also hosts track and field events. It is named for Louis II who was the prince when the stadium was built in 1939. The pitch is not a good quality pitch, as it is built over an underground car park. The stade is usually very empty for Ligue 1 matches, as there isn't a large following from people in the principality and the travel to the city is hard. Champions league matches and important matches such as against PSG, Lyon, and Marseille will fill the stadium.
As a bonus, Monaco also has a spectacular training facility located in La Turbie, in France, north of Monaco.
Last Few Seasons
Since ASM rejoined Ligue 1, the aspiration is to be the champion, but with PSG's current policy, it will take a miracle to win.
After the amazing Champions League run in 2014 and 2015 making it to the quarterfinals beating Arsenal (Video of the goals and commentary, I have never been this happy before I saw this live) in the first knockout round and then losing to Juventus 1-0 on aggregate from a penalty kick. This made a lot of our star players known to the big teams in Europe and the summer afterwards players like Anthony Martial, Yannick Carrasco, Geoffrey Kondogbia, and Aymen Abdennour were bought by big teams for big money. The money was then re-invested in young players, such as Ivan Cavaliero, Bernardo Silva, and Thomas Lemar.
2015-2016 season was marked by a slow start and failure to make it through the CL qualifying rounds and a slow start to the Ligue 1 campaign which ended in a 3rd place finish behind Lyon and the champions, PSG. This summer we have bought Djibril Sidibé (Lille), Benjamin Mendy (Marseille), and Glik (Torino), and De Sanctis (Roma), as well as Falcao and Germain back from loans. We have released Carvalho, Coentrao (loan), Traoré (on loan to CSKA), and Toulalan (to Bordeaux). They are the big signings and losses.

Player to watch
Keep an eye on Bernardo Silva this season. He can play many positions (as a winger or as a 10) and is very creative and can make a play out of nothing. He came from Benfica B and has stunned everyone. He connects well with his compatriot Moutinho. He will be a future star and I expect him to leave in the winter or next summer. Here's a video with some highlights (beware of the typical electronic music).
Why should you follow the club?
If you want to see the future stars of European football develop and put on a good show this team is for you. The youth development is a big part of the team and youngsters like Kylian Mbappé, Thomas Lemar, and Loïc Badiashile could become important players in the future.
Why should Messi come here?
He will not have to avoid taxes in the principality and we might need him because maybe he can provide his compatriot Guido Carillo with some service for goals because he really needs it. We did "reportedly" have an interest in Ronaldo a few years ago (but it was a Daily Mail source so it probably was not true).
Why would we be relegated to Ligue 2?
If we lose Falcao and Germain to injury, we only have youth players and Carillo left at strikers and Carillo is about as effective as a one of these at striker. The defense also is having some problems now as they are all new players playing together. I think this season we will fight for 3rd place.
