Bendo vs dos Anjos discussion

[marzwoody]

Yeah, of course it is, but that's not the comparison. Rich in my mind is being able to stop working for money ever again, be able to buy anything you want, go anywhere you want, do anything you want. $10M invested poorly should be able to get you $500k/yr to do whatever the hell you want with.

If you had 10mill your rich. sounds like you woudent be satisfied unless you had enough to live that bill gatez lifestyle.

I'm very conservative with my bets. I hate losing money so much. I constantly underbet my bankroll. Losing hurts a million times worse than winning feels good. I've actually thought about seeing a sports psychologist to help me with it.

Interestingly Bilzerian said the same thing on his Stern interview. The pain of losing is far greater than the joy of winning.

Comparing your wealth with others is a surefire way to drive yourself crazy unless your Bill Gates or Warren Buffett.

My businesses are at a pretty high level compared to most... but then again there's tens of thousands of BIGGER businesses. So when I compare myself to them I feel inferior. Same thing goes for net worth.

I think the ultimate game is to:

A) figure out your dream life (what kind of home, where... how many homes (if that floats your boat), vacation, etc...
B) figure out the cost of the dream life
C) Build enough of a net worth where the "investment gains" more than pay for B.

I think that's what Nunya is shooting for... as I am as well.

$25,000 a month coming in for the rest of my life would do it for me...

10 million invested wisely in rental properties, business, or maybe even the stock market should accomplish that goal..

I have not arrived at those numbers yet.... Still trying though..

If you only made $275,000 off of $10,000,000 you'd be investing incredibly poorly. At the risk free rate you should be making 300k a year.

Absolutely, just thinking extreme conservative investing with little to almost no risk with also future asset growth in mind..

[FightFightFight]

Its because the zero mark for feeling good/bad is your expectations, not actual zero. Coudn't agree more with your statement. If so, probably feels about as good winning all your bets as it does bad to break even, right? To fix it, just set your sights lower...but then your motivation suffers with it. Its all mathematical...

[FightFightFight]

And then there's the beautiful threshold of pain concept. At a certain point you feel as bad as you possibly can, and losing more feels just as bad. Thats where people can do damage.

[FightFightFight]

If I were you, Id try to raise your expectations, and feel as bad as possible. Great for focus.

[FightFightFight]

Rambling now. Dont get me going.

[FightFightFight]

Maybe try changing your expectations of winning to a long term return, and repeat to yourself the fact that mathematically, you will lose during short periods. I'll send you a bill.

[FightFightFight]

Actually, thats exactly what i do in a way...when i lose, I cant go fast enough to total it to my yearly. If i win its always next day. Didn't realize it was for this. Ok...rambling still. Back to work.

[JIBBBY]

^^ That's some rapid fire posting right there FFF... Impressive

I don't think you should ever try to feel bad when losing, I think you should try to roll with the punches when they come, know that they do come, stay positive and live to play another day believing that the next will be more profitable..

Never ride the highs to high or the lows to low...

Ten mill may seem like all the money in the world today, but what will it be worth in 25 - 30 years? What happens if you live 60 more years? Ten mill sounds like a great decade or two, but to truly feel financially free for the next five or more decades I'd shoot for a unit in personal equity. My caveat being, ten mill properly invested could be grown and managed to last...but then you end up employed to your money.

Yep thats what i was thinking, make sure you still have money coming in, when it starts to dry up in many years. with the improvements in science its entirely possible they can find a way to reverse ageing cells, etc. you so you could be like 60 and have the body of a 20 year old. course this probably wont happen in our lifetimes, but might. it would probably be so expensive the 1% could only afford, then around a few hundred years later would be sold at 7/11's.

Would there be hovercraft instead of cars, and teleportation machines, and robot servants?

[marzwoody]

Hope so but not making this stuff up. Google is your friend..

Would people wear their pockets on the outside as a fashion statement? I like to think they would

I hope they don't. That shit could start a laser war between the pocket ins and the pocket outs.

Those dirty pocket out savages deserve everything that's coming to them. They're sub-human.

Is Jibby our new Gabe or is Jibby the version of two Gabers?

[MD]

Gabe lives with his parents in a two-bedroom house.
JIBBBY lives with his parents in a $5mil mansion.

Two completely different leagues of degen.

[latarianmilton]

i actually went and checked sherdog, just to see if my memory was playing tricks on me

I love my mommy.. So what did this Gabe character do to get kicked off the forum by you fools?

You and me both

He came in to the forum on a 66-0 win streak of lock plays. Was the best capper on the forum, on day one.

So he was all talk and no show and go in the end.... Gabe then ended running for the hills with his tail between his legs never to be heard from again.. Sounds like a candidate for the SBR Hall of Shame...

Got it FFF, thanks..... It happens....

[FightFightFight]

No, actually. Didn't run. Withstood epic abuse, grew on people, and then maybe got sick of the forum. Works for mmaoddsbreaker doing articles now. Don't tail.

[FightFightFight]

Hall of fame. A legend.

[JIBBBY]

Gotta tail a legend then... A writer too... My kinda guy....

Don't worry though I'm not sick of the forum or any of you guys just yet.. I have taken some abuse in this forum section but who hasn't? FFF you were just cyber attacked from Bruce on another thread and you didn't even say anything bad. It happens...

Difference between me and Gabe - I don't claim to win a million bets and then lose consistently after... I don't roll like that... I'm a bit more consistent with my win bets and calls... More show and go with Jibbby, not so much show and slow...

If I started losing consistently I probably would stop posting on this forum and concentrate more on picking the winners.. I HATE LOSING!!!! Competitive like that.... Perhaps that's what Gabe did????

Gabe had ten times better insight than this knucklehead. At least when the topic wasn't Armenian fighters. If JIBBBY applied for a job at Oddsbreakers, they'd notice that he spelled MMA wrong, and assume he was a master troll.

Maybe, but when you're busy learning new words to type out from the Websters dictionary to impress everyone on the forums, I'll continue to be capping fights and winning bets..

Don't even bring up the word "insight" either pal..
