BOS/MIN Finals (-147) 30k to win 20.6k

[Doug tushyterror]

Somewhat on tilt after losing 6k on a dumb tennis live bet. Even putting BOS @ -1600 in there is dumb adding a little over 3k but psychologically I need to see a 50k payout to justify this. Obv DAL scares me with Kyrie/Luka potentially in a g7 so if worst comes to worst I do have the luxury of reloading 40k. Without that safety net, I never make this bet.

How stressed do you get watching your events with this amount of loot on the line? Serious question.

Do you drink to take the edge off or just skip the contests altogether and wait for the result?

Last time I was truly fukking stressed was 4 months ago when I literally had less than a quarter to my name with Sinner down 2 sets & serving down MP in s4. Since then 0 stress. As long as I have money in the bank, I'm more than willing to take these calculated risks. Did the same thing 2 months ago, but I really don't want to make a habit of this otherwise it's a short trip back to brokeville.
*specifically with this bet, I won't be watching any of the games but will get the result after each game. Not about to bury my head in the sand for the next 10 to 14 days.

That's a made for movie type last second escape from the jaws of death, or in this case, poverty. Indiana Jones level.

What's your current roll, with bank and betting accounts combined?

[Thefix13]

Well yeah if you don't win 50k it's not even worth the trouble...

Bank balance in initial post 74.2k & this is ALL IN so either 0 or 50.6k

All due respect, but why do you do this to yourself?

[Eddy Munny]

So with a 104K roll you could literally adhere to a 1% unit system and risk a dime a game, occasionally upping units here and there as you see fit. It's more of a grind I suppose but could be a lot less heartache in the long run. To each their own. Good luck.

Thanks but it would be 125k+ if this hits but the goal is to have 100k in DK & bank account. Then I'd WD 10k after each 20k incremental increase. I outlined it "across the street" last yr.

This is doable if you can get to $120k. I think the challenge you will have like most of us is the discipline. I could never do it myself because I’d at some point go heavy on a game or bust out chasing. Let’s be real- the slow grind not as fun! Good luck- I like the play.

I could explain how you could turn this discretionary money into a million and more with no risk but I see no sense.

If you were interested, you would have responded to my previous post,

I do wish you all good luck Doug. But I think deep down you already know that if your plan was truly achievable, everybody would be doing it.

Seriously though, good luck. I guess it does happen sometimes.

Well you're still allowed to tell the rest of us how to do so... We're money hungry humans too, ya know.

He's a defensive stalwart.

Teams have made the Finals with Ron Artest, Bruce Bowen, Dennis Rodman, Udonis Haslem etc.

Gotta have those elbow greasers.

The answers are easily found when it comes to investing in the stock market about this subject but I am not a stocks guy. I am also not a guy who pays fees and commissions along the way while investing to advisors. And while investments are risks, I said no risk and I should have said no risk IMO. Heck life is a risk.

That said, I honestly do not consider long term real estate as a risk. If it goes down it has always gone back up and over a 10 year span for instance and has gone up 400% to 1500% over the last 75 years in the east portion of the US. Where? I don't know where you live but plenty along the eastern portion of the U.S. this has been the trend.

Why? As long as people continue to multiply, more and more housing will be needed. I know, people are having less babies than 50 years ago but all those people are living longer and let's face it, it's not going to stop.

It's supply and demand. With the costs of building so crazy high, those costs drive up older homes prices because there is, for instance, a new million dollar house just down the street from a group of 400-500k houses in the surrounding area. By the time those are built and bought for 1 million a piece, those 500k houses are now worth closer to 650 or 700k and rising as the demand grows. Only because the new ones cost as much as they did. And that was because of the construction costs and rising labor prices. It improved the neighborhood and all the neighbors benefited from that. Better zip code, more taxes being paid for better schools, etc.

Now we all know anyone can post and try and tear what I just said to shreds, and maybe you are right. But Real Estate is as simple as owning your own house. The aim after that IMO would be to own one rental property. It can be a townhouse or whatever. Location is the key to this. Not going to work in a low income area. That risk is very high. Shop by zip code and county of the state you are in or can identify. It needs to make sense. High paying jobs near by, schools that are well rated but not the best necessarily. A lot of that is BS anyway. The curriculum is all the same per county. It goes to state, county and zip code. I think you can get what I am saying without all the explanation.
There are also master plans that are projections for counties for the next 10-20 years that are free to view. Check out the county you have chosen or might choose and see what is coming and where and when. Zoning for each county will have that and you can see for yourself what the future should look like in that particular county.
If it takes 10 years to save that money for the rental, that's ok. A town house will not appreciate as fast as a single family anyway but... they will most likely be 1/2 the price or thereabouts. So, you are 10 years in, you now have a self sufficient rental property that the rent covers all payments, taxes, bills and saving of a fund for repairs. That's it.

Sure. You might have to scale back on the jersey buying at insane prices or ticket prices but by a big screen with high def and know your money is working for you and not Jerry Jones.

Stop betting parlays and gimmicks offered and yes, you can still make a bet. But make it make sense not because it's the big game or it's on that night. Focus on trying to beat the game. Even if you profit 100.00 per season, that was free entertainment and you did not lose. And, your property is most likely worth a little more with each of those passing seasons.
If you are 30, you can do a 30 year fixed in the high 6's right now. Those will drop in time and refinance at 2.5 or 3 or whatever.

Live your life, payoff your house over time, let the townhouse be self sufficient with the rent paying for everything or real close (within 100.00 a month or so) and when you hit retirement age your net worth is well over 1,000,000.00. You will have a fixed social security coming in and no mortgage.

Doug is flashing around the kind of money that with proper guidance, it could really build up. I hope it does for him. But we have watched this stuff on SBR for years. It rarely ends well. I hope for him it does.
But putting your money to work like I suggested will work out very well for you young and even middle aged guys.

Good Luck.

You are committed to this as your full time job. That has to be the move to really do it right. You also have really solid discipline. Without- it could be painful for many. Keep going pal.

Yeah, they just recently did that to my account, but luckily I knew better that they were capable of doing this so I would always cash them out on a daily basis almost.

Mine were locked up about a year ago... Like Jerky said, I always felt that little extra sugar to sweeten the pot could be taken away at anytime without notice so I cashed them in fairly regularly, not daily or even weekly, but regularly enough that I didn't leave a boatload on the table once they pulled the rug out.

Smart. I’d run it up and then cash them in so I got burned. Didn’t read the fine print either so it’s on me.
