Lol.
Good luck winning that amount that pushes you into retirement.
Unrealistic.
Just stupidity that people believe paying off a mortgage isnt a big deal.
My brain is numb from the amount of gamblers on here who continue to be blinded by stupidity.

Most dudes on here are red continuously but claim 70k wouldnt mean shit.
My Lord please help these fools get their heads out of their asses.

Who said 70K doesn't mean shit?
Did I, or did I not say it makes annoying things in life go away?
Did I, or did I not say it clears my mortgage and makes things easier?
All I am saying is 70K does not change my lifestyle, I still have to go to a job I love to do, but not enough to make me retire from it.

Get your head out of your ass.
Somebody gives you a check for 70K, first pay the taxes, now, you going to retire with that?

[Fishhead]

The median price for a home in the USA is currently over 200k and a few here believe 70k is a life changer.




Oh my fuking Gawd

[THam12]

Nash, not trying to argue.
Just saying every poster on this site is lying IF they think 70k isnt a nice amount.

And fishhead. Youre a moron.
I bet your chuck out red numbers monthly.
The median price for a house is 200k, therefore 70k is damn near a 40% down payment. Lowering payments (estimated taxes 3k, ins 1500 yearly) from 1442 to 1000.
442 dollars saved for the next 30 years... thats about 5 grand a year, ~150k over 30 years.

If I win 70K I'm doing a jig for a week, with a smile on my face, and yes, it's a very nice amount, just not enough of a nice amount.

I won a grand in daily fantasy baseball contest last month, I was pleased as punch.

OK, as long as you see my point, I see your point crystal clear.

Peace

You could live comfortably with that money for 2 to 5 years (depending on your lifestyle) in Thailand while gambling with the rest of 10k for fun. Not life changing but a nice vacation.

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

A certain sbr poster who will remain anonymous unless they want to... Let it known...won $55,000 yesterday and over 70k in the last month. Lets keep in mind this person is not rich and this is life changing money.

GREAT JOB, tt

So by your math - a little over $100 a week is life changing to you? It is to some - it wouldn't be to me, to my sister who makes $40k a year - yea - that would really help her out - but even her - who is living pay check to paycheck - likely not life changing.

For anyone who thinks that amount is life changing - I would be willing to bet 5 years from now you would be in the same position you are in today - just had a better life for a few years. If that amount is life changing for you - you likely aren't good with money. Just my personal opinion

[Dollars2Donuts]

I think it all depends of your own definition of life changing. It changes my life because my car payment disappears, it changes my life because I have an extra $50k in my retirement fund....I think of life-changing insofar as 'it changes my life' not defined as 'my entire life will change from this day forward, I will retire and move to the Bahamas, drink fruity drinks and CIM all day long'.

I think we are all arguing semantics here.

Also, I live in Vancouver, literally the most expensive city in the world to live in when factoring in average income. For a guy living in Detroit this could literally be LIFE CHANGING money. A new crib, a new 2003 Sunbird, a couch (used but comfortable) and a lifetime of low track hookers.

Saving yourself that much money each year is enough money for a really nice vacation each year. Something people normally have to budget for and save for.
You telling me if someone said "hey for the next 30 years, you get 5000 dollars for vacation." Youre gonna think thats petty?

People need to get off their fukkin hating ass high horses and realize that acting as if youre some big bad ass who doesn't need 70k doesnt make you seem cool on the internet. Honestly it makes me positive that you have no sense of real it and/or are a dumbass.

[TheMoneyShot]

Any extra money is life changing.

[jjgold]

yes most guys that say no do not even have 2,000 in bank go figure

My guess is that everyone has a different definition of life changing - which is what D2D said too - and that is right. Of course it means something to everyone - even Gates would say that $70k would be nice - even if its just to throw it all at a charity. I am not saying it wouldn't be awesome to have just won that. My thing was - life-changing to me is something that means I never have to work again - or at a minimum I could change what I am doing - leave corp life and coach high school football full time. That is life changing to me. Being able to take a nice vacation every year - that is awesome for sure - but not what I would call life changing as it doesn't allow me to really change my life. $50k per year - that is closer to life-changing for me. annuity paying out $100k a year - that allows me to change my life. $5k per year - just makes my life a little better as it does for most I would assume.

Likely arguing semantics here.

[THam12]

Agreed. Lets just all not sit here and act like winning 70k isnt bad ass.

[MoneyIsWater]

70k is life changing for everyone.

It makes life simplier.

If 70k means nothing to these posters.

Then why are you gambling?

[The Giant]

Was it Moyal?

[Boner_18]

Prior to the hit you had x dollars, following the hit you have x+70k. It is by definition, life changing. However, the marginal increases in happiness from added wealth DECREASES as wealth increases ($10 means less to a millionaire than a poor man). Congrats to the poster that hit it!

[laclippers504]

70 k is very nice great job

and i would argue that at some point along the spectrum, additional wealth results in less happiness on an absolute basis. the wealthy clients i know have multiple houses, boats, etc which provide more stress and irritation than happiness.

probably right..money does not make you healthy and happy

It never has and never will

[I/O]

Ok, while $70k may not be 'exactly' life changing, my thoughts are that it would still have an effect on most poster's lives in some way.

I owe on the Beemer, that would be gone (saving me $700 a month), plus I would take a killer trip or two and throw the rest into my retirement savings. So, would this effect my life? I would say yes, in a small way.

That being said, I think that it would change 99% of people that post at SBR's lives.....even though that may just be for a short time....in fact it may change those people's lives lots for a short time.

[I/O]

Agreed. Lets just all not sit here and act like winning 70k isnt bad ass.

especially when it goes to pay off the debt riding from the previous negative $200,000 run

[Albert Pujols]

70K makes a $100 grinder a dime player overnight. If someone is sharp and has a minimal bankroll, it just made their career.

70k is nice but nobody ever plays the $70,000 lottery

[Albert Pujols]

I don't know why this is funny to you. Nevermind having the 70K in your pocket, that guy now makes $75 every wager instead of $7.50 by hitting 55% at -105.

[Cuse0323]

Only at SBR we're gonna argue whether 70K is life changing while people bet 50-100 dollar units. 70K would certainly change my life for the better right away but if it wouldn't for you, feel free to send me it.

[Albert Pujols]

I'm not saying the guy who won 70K is not going to piss it away in the next year. But if someone had a tiny bankroll and now all of sudden has 70K.......if they become sharp it will completely change their life.

But at SBR, people lose $80 on a "bad beat" and quit forever. Errr.......for a week. Then they are back crying about bad beats and saying winning 70K is nothing. LOL.

[raydog]

ap, the kid hit a tennis future at 4 different prices and was paid 55k.. it was as luckbox as vyomguy hitting that huge parlay for 250k...

i promise you, any guy that hits a luckbox prop and starts overbetting a 70k roll, is WELCOME to max bet at every book he pleases and will go broke... moyal goes broke every few weeks because he overbets... he is talking about betting 2k a game with this current roll... he will, again, be broke soon.

the win is life changing to moyal because he makes a few hundred bucks a week at his job... but its nothing he wont lose soon... he loses every few weeks and always has... having a bigger bankroll and betting more isnt going to change the inevitable outcome

the money is only life changing if you do something with it that actually changes your life... new shit, pay shit off, bucket list stuff, save it ..etc... letting it sit at pinny doesnt make it life changing

[opie1988]

2k a game with a 70k roll.

Not quite.

I did have a client give me a $100 Saltgrass gift card last week. Took all 3 of us out to dinner last Saturday nite and still have $32 left.

I ain't bigtime?

[Dirty Sanchez]

Not me.

That's obvious
