If you won let's say 120 million would you continue to gamble?

        nope

        plus you'll have no cash flow afterwards. plus you have no connections with power brokers, so your team will probably end up like the detroit lions

                          It's always fun to wonder what we would do with so much money.

                          But if I was 100% financially secure, I would lose interest in it to be honest. If I was worth $100+ million, why would I give a shit about $1,000 riding on Steven Strasburg to win $900? And don't just say you would bet millions per game, because there is not 1 single book out there that would accept the bet. I'd probably just buy a nice house, a few nice cars, some expensive toys, and live off the interest for the rest of my life.

                          I'd probably put some $$$$ down on big games like the Super Bowl, NBA finals, and such. But I wouldn't be a degenerate at a sportsbook at 2:45pm on a Tuesday in early June betting baseball.

                            If you're a gambler you gamble with any amount of money. Be it $1 or several million. It's not about the amount it's about action. If you think anything else you're just a tourist. It's a sickness inside all of us. Some control it better than others but you need to feed the beast. The beast doesn't take a break.

                            And it's not even about +EV or -EV. They are one in the same when it comes to motivation. Nothing wrong with tourists but don't kid yourself about what you are.

                                    maybe play BJ for $100 a hand but I'd have to count and vary up to $1,000 a hand to try to win. It would be no fun without at least thinking you could win.

                                    Maybe baccarat, craps, poker ?

                                    I'd get bored quick on a once a year trip.

                                        I think a big factor would be how you won the money.... Win 120 mil gambling? im sure alot of people would throw it right back to the books/ casinos / whatever...

                                        Hit the Lotto? ... you really going to stop buying tickets then? lol

                                        As for me gambling isnt about the money its about the action. Though having some extra cash is nice. It usually gets thrown right back though rather then spent on other things. So i probably would not stop

                                                I would gamle even more I think. The stakes would def increase a lot, but you need that for the kick. why wouldn't you keep gambling - you're already set for life.
