My gambling life is so glamorous… I’m sitting alone at a state border, sweating a $30k TXAM hoops bet, tailgating solo with cold, day old pizza in my trunk.
When I was 27, I was broke, stuttered terribly, and couldn’t find a job. My dad died that year and I found his copy of Beat The Dealer, by @EdwardOThorp. It’s been one of my most prized possessions ever since and recently became even more special to me. So grateful. 🥹🙏
Successful heart surgery and moved out of ICU 20 hours later. I just cashed the ultimate bridge jumper bet.
I’ll have to wait a lot longer to see if my trip to the afterlife is coded as travel or justice.
I’m going to need surgery to repair a heart valve in Oct./Nov. It’s the ultimate bridge jumper with a big edge. Until I’ve recovered, beat casinos, earn credit card points, hack free gas, but, most importantly, have fun and make friends while you do it. That’s winning.
I am exactly three weeks from heart surgery. I’ve lost 34.0lbs, in 101 days and taken Vo2 max from 34.4 to 39.9. I am mentally and physically ready.
Live line:
Full Recovery: -2500
Lay the favorite.
I’m ok with books limiting players, it’s part of the hustle. However, @BetRivers offers me a $500 free bet for $5k in NBA handle and now my limits are too low to redeem the free bet with even horrendous efficiency. That should be illegal, at least honor the spirit of the promo.
GWAE has been the soundtrack to my life as an advantage player. It entertained me, educated me, and offered a valuable sense of community. Every episode and every guest gave me perspective, optimism, and motivation. It quite literally changed my life.
Chase Freedom Flex is offering 15k points + 10% up to $12k on grocery spend in year 1. It’s the best no annual fee sign up deal I’ve ever seen at Chase & strengthens any Sapphire portfolio. Disable ad blockers and try a few different incognito browsers until you find it.
I was shopping for a rental car, but fares are consistently $400+. However, I’m not driving very far, so MPG doesn’t really matter and parking won’t be an issue. Box truck is a great value!
Was talking to my buddy tonight… Fees matter… $100k invested at 6.5%, compounded annually, in pricey funds with a 1.25% management fee versus and indexed portfolio with all-in costs of 1/10 of 1%. The tyranny of compounding fees destroys the miracle of compound interest.
