    All of it. Go large or go home.

    There's no bigger rush than having your livelihood hanging in the balance on 3rd and goal from the one. It's like skydiving from the comfort of your living room sofa.

    Last time I deposited was in January to hedge SBR's Bowl contest.

    Couldn't tell you before that. Ideally, you get to a point where it's more about the withdrawals than deposits.

    I would say the more the better. It's like paying tuition fee for an ivey league college when you're lucky you end up well at the end or you still believe in that bullsh#t 'work hard and you will become rich' philosophy, yeah good luck with that.

    Zero right now. I'm out the grind until NCAAFB starts back up.

    I have gone too long without a stocked account at both my online books.
