Most money you have ever won

[Bank of Hawk]

I recall college coming home for a holiday , getting plastererd at the bar... back home, around 3a, I made the wise decision to put $100 into an online casino.. (at this time I was playing online poker on and off but this night was not in mood for poker).. I ran that $100 up to $6k in 20 minutes... lost it all back in the next 10 minutes. I felt like a I couldn’t lose and then bam! a complete 180

Im actually thinking about starting virtual handicapping course. Something like $25 a head. Three levels. Beginner through advanced. Something like $65 for all three.

Too much sketchy shit on the horse track.

After thinking this through I've made a drastic change.

First, I want a team I LIKE and won't be upset with not having if they go off and play great. Secondly, I want guys who can go real low at any time and have done so this year. Lastly I want people who can win from behind. DJ starts at minus 10. You either have to pick him and end up with a bunch of Lanto Griffins hoping they can make charges. So I wanted a good mix of that. Also, you can't worry about money left on the table with 30 players. After the top 5 they're all the same, so luck is definitely involved.

So...that all said, here's my lineup.

JT
Bryson
English
Finau
Horschel
Palmer

I'm not playing much this week - a big engle entry pool, and a handful in the $500k and the $5 entry pool.

Most teams have 4 from this core 6:

Simpson
Morikawa
Finau
Hatton
Niemann
Hughes

Mix-ins - Rahm, Reed, Hovland, Palmer, Griffin, Ancer, Munoz.

Full fade on DJ, DeC, and Thomas.

Too much for what?

$350 at the Tropicana in February. I took KU to cover a 17 pt spread with ISU. Won and then played roulette and lost $170 right away. Won it back.

Won 500 bucks with a scratch off lottery card in the early days of the Georgia lottery. Have spent many times more than that buying tickets trying to retire earlier.

Too much for what?

To gamble.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

To gamble.

Nah. Been good to me.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Don’t gamble. Why waste money on it? A lot better things to do with the money.

Like hookers and blow?

Mine is fairly modest. Played blackjack at the Hard Rock Casino in Sioux City on my birthday about 5-6 years ago now. Even though I was pretty conservative betting most of the time, I still walked out about $120 ahead. Just about the only time I've had any success at the casinos in the few times I've played.

The problem isn't that I'm not good or can never find the time...........the problem is that I'm not very good at having the appropriate amount of money to do the "fun things" in life............................but that is a story for another alternate universe where I actually told it.

I won $250 playing blackjack. Played 3 hands and walked away.
