crockett Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) While that was a bug in the broker platform, I see screenshots with real numbers like the one below all the time. Noobs like the guy in the story hear about stocks and cryptos, see some fake mentors that try to sell courses with a flashy Lambo shown on YouTube or Instagram, buy the bullshit course, throw 30k at a broker account, make some lucky wins in the first few weeks, think they mastered the game, go yolo (all-in) on a hyped stock when its already way up, based on fomo (fear of missing out), see the stock price go against them, don't sell in time with a small loss, and turn into dumb bag holders, making a huge loss. On a hype stock, you can lose those 69% within an hour. Edited June 23, 2021 by crockett 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go to a casino I buy a roll of whatever denomination buys a handle pull on a slot machine - nickel, dime, quarter - and when that’s gone so am I. Got an evening’s entertainment for the cost of a first run movie ticket or less. When I buy a stock I plan to hold it indefinitely. I’m quite aware that my personality isn’t suited for day trading. Or gambling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I was a multi millionaire once. But in Poland in the days after the wall fell that wasn’t hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troof. The house always wins, and I'm glad I didn't stay! ETA: Those were some shitty squares to say the least.

I was running low and it was the first gas station I had seen in awhile. I saw it was attached to a bigger building but didn't know what it was. Found out when I went in to pee. They had this older black lady in a suit jacket near the door as security. I thought it was kind of odd till I looked down the hallway to the casino part. They did have nice foam cups though. Seemed a bit better quality than most convenience stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand it well enough to gamble big money away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an evening’s entertainment for the cost of a first run movie ticket or less. I know the rules to all the games, but I'm just not good at them. (I have a friend that was professional. He could win at everything. Most of the time.) I'll play with $50 / $100, that might actually last all night, but when it's gone, I am too. I like the old "pull" slots. You have to actually learn the new video ones. And they are all different. Ain't nobody got time for that. The last time I was at a casino, every stool had a video slots built into the bar. I played penny, nickle, quarter, mostly single line. I quickly noticed that every single time I got down to 4 cents, I'd hit for $20. Every. Time. It just wanted me to get really hammered and never leave. Sneaky Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 More than once, I saw my buddy win 30K / 50K (usually roulette) (he could win any poker, too). And I'd say, "Let's go eat lobster! (he'd often use my money for starters) And buy some gold trinkets! Buy guns! You can buy a truck!" But he'd never stop. He'd often keep going until we broke even. I never understood that part. I guess it's the addiction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
