Ever bet or invest your whole bankroll on something?

Ballsy. I like the Vikings’ odds so long as Case Keenum doesn’t screw it up. Skol.

You're an idiot.

I just put 85k down on the Vikings to win the super bowl YOLO. 4-1 odds baby. As a side note I make 220k a year. The rest of my money (about 35k) is currently invested in TD Bank stocks. I already have my car and house paid off so I'll be more than okay even if I lose. But I'm confident I'll come out way ahead here.

3/10 because you egged me to say this much:

You won't be ok. You might even be worse off if the Vikings win.

I just ran your post through the Typical Letsrun Poster BS Remover:

I just put 8 dollars down on the Vikings to win the super bowl YOLO. 4-1 odds baby. As a side note I make 22k a year. The rest of my money (about 35 bucks) is currently invested in my piggy bank. I already have my bicycle and live rent free in my mom's basement so I'll be more than okay even if I lose. But I'm confident I'll come out way ahead here.

No, Kelly criterion for the win.

Put the remaining $35K into Bitcoin. You'll thank me later

My friend put all his liquid assets into Ethereum a month ago. Right now he looks like a genius. To me it's like gambling and I never put in more than I'm willing to lose, so I only get small gains. But at least I've never lost it all. If you're betting the farm, you can't really afford to ever be wrong once.

Everyday, I bet everything I have on myself.

Once when I had nothing, I borrowed money to go to law school.

What does "I can break you off" mean to you? Because I can think of only one meaning and it isn't something I would want to be associated with.

If you want an insider tip here it is: go all in on Vlasic Dill. Dill Pickles are projected to be the 'food of choice' in 2018. You would be a Fool, Fool I tell you, to NOT put your money into the Dill franchise. Dill all the way BABY!!!!!

I put everything I had into Apple when it was at $11/share, twenty-plus years ago. It wasn't much, but it worked out pretty well.

Bad troll. Do your research first. Vikings are not 4-1.

4/1 is certainly available, although it's not great value and most likely the return would be greater by simply rolling over the wager via money line three consecutive times.

Yes, I have done this, albeit a long time ago when I wasn't far out of college and my bankroll wasn't particularly impressive. I had just over 10 dimes and bet $770 on 14 different college games on Saturday. I went 1-13 and the only winner was Colorado +26 at home against Oklahoma. They lost 42-17. That's how close I was to a clean 0-14 rout. That was the day Miami blew the 31 point home halftime lead to Maryland. I had Canes -6. Several other brutal beats.

The next day I began the first of 2 all-in wagers. I took Winnipeg in the CFL playoffs for roughly $1500. It was actually some odd amount, like $1502. I left just enough in my pocket for gas money back to Los Angeles, and a Stardust buffet. That was in case I lost.

Winnipeg took care of business. I think they played British Columbia. It was fairly easy.

I was tempted to play all-in again the following night on the Monday Night game but I couldn't decipher it. It was Seattle vs. Raiders and figured to be low scoring.

So I patiently waited all week and bet on Winnipeg again in the Grey Cup, for the 3 dimes I had. Fortunately that was a rocking chair game. The Blue Bombers obliterated Hamilton as small favorite. I never had to sweat.

It took 8 days but I had recouped more than half the losses from that 1-13 disaster. Then I took that $5500ish bankroll and did terrific in early college basketball season. It was my first year living in Las Vegas full time. I got a quick glimpse at the highs and lows.

And yes, I've always had a fondness for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers based on 1984 alone.

THE END

With the strong support of the current administration it seems that the smart money is in Coal. Coal, my friends, is a can't miss investment. You know what they are saying 'Coal is the new Solar!'.

Great story. How long did you live in Vegas for and if you continued to gamble for a living or to supplement income, how did you do?

I spent a month or so in Vegas seeing how I could fare playing poker (no other gambling, no sports, just cards) and left knowing I would need to find a regular day job. Simply could not handle the idea of going to work for the day (or week, or month) and not only failing to make $, but losing it!

age 60, 170,000 (life savings)was in a stable fund (paying 1.5 %), last January after the election took it all out and put it on Trump(not figuratively), now it's over 200,000 and growing.
