    Taking time off to live in VEGAS! - Former Investment Banker
    Hey all,

    My name is Todd and I was formerly an investment banking associate at Goldman Sachs covering telecommunications on the west coast.

    The hours were fukkin grueling and I was getting crushed; so instead of going to private equity or the corporate side (where the hours are still penetrating grueling); I decided to take some time off and live in Vegas for my immediate future. I thinking I'm staying here at least 6 months, if not more.

    Made a ton of cash at Goldman, but didn't spend much of it besides paying 1.7K/month for an apt. in the city that I never saw anyway.

    Anyhow, I'm heading to Vegas with a sizeable "bankroll" (about ~300K); and I'm looking to see how "lucky" I can get.

    If anything, I'm sure I'll come out of this experience with some crazy stories to tell.

    First bet:

    New England Patriots -6.5 - $3,000

    Green Bay +7.5 - $2.000

    If you guys have any questions about me or the industry, or whatever, feel free to ask.

            why aren't some of you jerkoffs in prison?

            when did you know you wanted to be a parasite, leeching your 'vig' of the working stiffs of this country?

            and god damn, 300k roll for, just for vegas and you're betting my sized bets, when my net worth is half that?

            see what nits they are with their own money????? give them a taxpayer subsidized trip to vegas and he'd put the whole lot on New England.

                How are you going about selecting your plays?

                Are you modeling? An advantage player? Line shopping? Do you only play sides? What will you do to circumvent limits when you being winning?

                Good luck

                  Don't model sh1t. If its one thing I know its that models are bullsh1t made to fit the desired outcome.

                    I doubt I will get capped, don't see myself betting more than 10k a game.

                    Know a few people who do bizz Dev for new england and they're saying Brady is going all out because front office is leaning garapollo sooner rather than later.

                    Brady knows His time is coming and won't lose to colts.

                        so a model made to fit the desired outcome of making money is bullsh1t?

                        So you're chucking darts

                        Either way, good luck!

                        One doesn't have to model or line shop to enjoy sports betting

                        Now days, I do neither. My income, probably like yours, is secure. I do it for entertainment.

                                    I don't know why people think bankers are stock pickers. In fact, most bankers don't even own single stocks because of the red tape around securities. Just park your cash in an index and forgetttt about it. Trust me bro, save the gambling for sports, not stocks.

                                                Dude, Sachs is the cream of the crop. You certainly don't seem very educated in your communication! And why would a RICH man just join this forum and get personal?????? Smell like bullshit too me.

                                                  Cream of the crop indeed. But nobody gets rich off banking, I started off pulling 150k after bonus as analyst and ended at 350k last year. Half goes to uncle Sam.

                                                  I'm telling.you this right here boys, you don't need to be smart to be a banker. You just gotta know people.and how to triple check your work. All the "smart" people are engineers doing their own startups.
