    I don't get it bro. The guy sounds so cheap its unreal and he's a millionaire? He won 150 points once from paco and said "thanks for the $15."

    He also makes "Special Lines" where he offers -150 and 5 dimes has like -155 and Pinny -153 and he thinks he is offering "value"

                          i agree I don't think fishhead is broke. Not sure if he's a millionaire, but why is someone that's loaded obsessed with measly SBR points? There's a difference with utilizing something because its there and being infatuated with it.

                          Even if you manage to collect 10,000 sbr points after all your hard work, that is only about 1k. What is 1k to a millionaire?

                            Why are you saying how do I think Fishhead is rich? I do not know if Fishead is rich because I don't know the guy. I just go by what is written on this board.

                            Being a grinder has nothin to do with being cheap JJ. Let's start thinking outside the box for a change.

                                  exactly

                                  in these troubled times people rely on SBR points for some essentials

                                  that's why there's an uproar every time there's a change to the points system

                                  because in many cases they are taking food off of the tables of posters' families

                                  someone like FH may not need SBR points for the necessities in life, but you can bet your a** they are part of his broader financial picture

                                    There is a difference between taking advantage of an opportunity and being obsessed with it.

                                    I grew up poor so I fully understand the value of $200. A millionaire being cheap (yes he is cheap because he offers -152 on a "special line" when its -154 at the majority of books, like 1 SBR point makes a difference to people.

                                              Some millionaires are dirt cheap.

                                              My uncle was a electrical engineer through the Military for 4 years got out and opened his own business. Invested all his money in retail and franchise opportunities. Primarily weinerschetzel and subway when they first started up. Long story short he retired by the age of 32 and lives with his aunt. He currently has about 12 rentals and owns about 15 commercial properties. The guy still makes over 30,000 a month profit and has a pickup truck that 20 years old and probably buys 1 new shirt every year.

                                              Ask any teller the people who walk in looking beat up as shit are the ones who have 100k in there savings accounts. Not every millionaire lives extravagant.

                                                At my old job This asain lady who was a cashier at target for 10 years was 82 years old. The healthyest old woman ive ever seen. Anyways her husband used to own like 8 restaurants and she did nothing but watch hte stock market all day on her breaks. Long story short she was rich as hell. She has 4 kids and all of em are doctors or surgeons. This lady wud run to pick up pennies. Again not all millionaires waste money and go broke like NBA players.

                                                    He also makes "Special Lines" where he offers -150 and 5 dimes has like -155 and Pinny -153 and he thinks he is offering "value"
                                                    this is nothing...there's a guy called pavvy-something...he raised hell when SBR "cheated" him with 1 point...LOLZ.

                                                      Millionaire isn't really a term that implies richness anymore.

                                                      Fishhead is over 50, if he is only worth ~1M, he is FAR from rich.

                                                        if your 50 own your home and you no longer support any children and you have 1 million dollars you will live very comfortably the rest of your life.

                                                          Give me a million ill put 100k towards a business and make 32k+ a year interest along with making 70k+ working and owning a business. You can still do a lot with 1 million.
