I sold my Lincoln Continental this morning for 10K. These days 10K is a decent amount of money to me but I figure you only live once and I've always wanted to do this. I'm going to Lake Tahoe tomorrow for the Superbowl and I will be placing the entire amount on one spin of the Roulette wheel. I'm puting it all on black. To be continued..... :champagne:

When I just turned 21 I was on a ski trip to South Lake. I took the only hundred I had along with a buddy's hundred and put it on black.

And we :champagne:F'ING WON!!!:champagne:

If we would have lost I don't know how we would have made it home or ate. It was a very intense moment for us. It's not about the dollar amount but what the Dollar is worth to you. Good luck and have fun in South Lake!

Let's put it this way...If I lose, more than likely the Jesse James boat will be up for sale by the end of next week.

My financial planner seems to use the same techniques as you, Grads. :thumbsup



Tell you what, rather than risk a 50/50 chance of losing it all, I'll give you $5000.00 right now for your $10,000. At least you will walk away with something :D

lmao! :D

I'll give you 5000K for your boat as is ,then you only have to spend 5000 of the proceeds from the sale of your Conti . It's a win win :rotflmao:

Your $5K together with RvRrat's $5K puts him right back at $10K.

If you each throw in an extra 50 cents, he'll be playing on house money. :thumbsup

Increase your chances to 100%: Bet it on the Steelers to win (take the points!)

It's times like this I hate having a partially functional conscience.

Grands, if you are serious about gambling $10K, I feel compelled to urge you to reconsider. $10K toward a debt will give you 100% chance of saving considerable interest every month as well as cutting your amortization time.

I'm someone who's lived like a pauper for years while I retired debt at best speed and I found myself in a pretty strong position when the economy crashed. Even before the crash, low debt load wasn't a bad situation to be on. To be fair, not everyone can live that way. Consider this some friendly advice that is, ironically, coming from this shark tank of a web site.

Sounds like my luck, the only thing a 50 50 chance means to me is the probability of being 100% fucked:D

As it stands right now I am $0 in debt, thats why I am doing this. Thank you for the advice.

There is absolutely not a chance on this earth I would even consider what you are doing, but good luck.

When I saw this thread title I though it was about something else. Like betting on the steelers or blowing it on hookers:)

BTW check out Brown trying to bring reason into a ridiculous thread. Talk about Irony :D

I plan on doing this tomorow around 4 p.m. I will post proof tomorrow night one way or another, good or bad.

For $10K, why not drive to Vegas? Put $10K on black at the Bellagio. The drop in street price on $10K chips will probably cover your fuel.

Good luck Grads!! Remember it isn't a 50/50 odds...it is 47.368% in your favor (gotta account for the greens). You have to stream it live so we can watch.

Sit down at the Pai Gow table & play 1K per hand until your up 10K or down 10K. Do not play the bonus.

Hell, even a hand of blackjack is better than that wheel. Roulette is fixed, especially with 10K on black

My guess is you will have to make arrangements for this single wager the limits on roullette are fairly low- if you win you should be able to work the pit out of some nice comps I would play at Harveys then eat at the Sage room. You will have to fill out tax forms for your winnings...Good Luck

After you win on black, throw it back out there on red. You might be able to buy the HotBoat magazine too.

$10K on a bet is a helluva lot safer than betting $600K on a house :D

I wish I'd known that 5 yrs ago.......

This sounds like a great plan, for somebody else to do.:champagne:

Before you put your money down watch a bunch of spins first and track the colors that come up. When you see some reds in a row put your chips on black before the next spin that way your chances will be better.





:D :D :D :D :D


Good luck!

The statisticians say statistically you have the same odds of hitting red or black every spin regardless of what the last 1 or 10 or 100 spins were. But I would probably do the same and wait till you have had a bunch of reds in a row, then go for it.
