Turn $50 into $40M --- Then go to jail

[Sam Odom]

Anargyros Karabourniotis known as Archie Karas will be sentenced today

Guy was marking cards at Barona Indian Casino... Found guilty in San Diego

Back in 1995 he ran 50 bucks into $40M BUT lost it all in less than 12 months

JJ, leave Vegas and go back home

How many of us across Forumville have said 'man if I could only get on a heater and make a big score I would quit gambling.'

Just imagine ... if the dumb fuk had only invested $1M of the 40 in 1995 say in tech stock

Such as Lycos or Pets.com?

[Sam Odom]

Someone do research on the top 10 tech stocks in 1995

Put $100K in each... where would one be in 2014 ?

Whatever... couldnt be any worse than where Karas is now

If JJ won a million bucks, I bet he would just retire.

Should we have a number where we quit. Say 10 million? How much do you really need.

More than what you got...

But in truth it isnt the $$$... it is the 'rush' our brain needs

If I won the powerball, I would never gamble again. I do need more money though. I'm working on that.

[warbux]

A true gambler just like that other lady you posted sammy. True gamblers, they don't care for money they care for the rush it gives them. I'm cut from their cloth, its the rush that excites me and as my bet increases so does my rush. It's a strong addiction stronger then black tar heroin and I can't shake it only death will release me from this burden.
