Sadly this is like watching “Titanic”

You know how it’s going to end but you have to watch it anyway
It’s unreal if he didn’t cash out it would be 0 balance. I said it before and I know I am in the minority but humanity and the care for others needs to be addressed. He said 30+k now. That is more than most people have saved up. He should put that money away and go back to work. I really worry about him , he has already referenced suicide a few times in the past. I wish nothing but the best for him and others here. But what I said had to be said, regardless if anyone agrees or not. If he loses it all , he will be back to work with 0x, 30k is a lot of money and would give him a safety net for unexpected things that come up in life.

Agree

I’ve told Doug precisely that many steps along the ladder with good strategies to maintain that wealth and better his lifestyle. At both the peak of the $$ figure and on its way back down.

But he always knew better unfortunately

Whatever the peak was , I think around 400k correct? It was cold hard cash. That is more $ than most people will ever see in their lifetime. It’s rough to see this.

Yes. About that. I suggested come to a town like mine, one of the best in the state, and buy a 3 bedroom, 2 bath garden-home type house like mine for $280-300k, invest $100-120k, and do a couple of side hustles you enjoy to cover your monthly nut. Dozens of similar towns across the country where this is possible too

Would have been a nice life

Dougy won the game of life but didn’t realize it. Didn’t need $2 million or whatever it was. Far from it

Unless he hits his Super Bowl futures it’s going to be very hard to ever get back to the amount ever again. I always told myself with 400k he could own a home outright the rest of his life and still have more $ than most. I haven’t been watching any games or following anything. What is the possibility of his futures hitting ? Are they both in the playoffs for sure ?

Only way 1 to realistically get it all back & I'm SERIOUSLY considering this. I'll reload 3k & try to win another 3k to get it to 33k to do this. BUFF worries me cuz they might have to win 3 road games cuz I don't see them winning the division even if they win out. NE would have to lose at BALT & home to MIA in wk 18 for that to happen. Can't see them losing at NYJ in wk 18

Definitely Rams or Packers would be my bet against the Bills, I like it.

Yeah I kinda do LG. WTF is 10k to 15k gonna accomplish if it hits knowing I'd have to wait 40 days until it's decided. Dream scenario would be BUF winning the the early CCG & DET at LAR in the late game to guarantee either 400k or 800k but that's not happening

WTF is 15k going to accomplish... you have GOTTA be kidding me.

This thread, and your whole epic story, only became possible because a) you are a crazy son of a gun and b) you put work in, for a couple of years, to get where you were at the high point.

I don't think you realistically have a chance to make this happen, unless you're grinding. What's the point of trying to hit a 450 yard home run if you strike out 80 times before even hitting a double? You gotta include the cost of living into your calculation. Didn't you say you're never going back to work?

Double up your 30k to 50-60k, put a half aside and do what you did to build it up in the first place. Wait, you don't have your 'good fan duel account' any more? Find someone to partner with. Forget you had 300k already, think about winning the next game. You have to be obsessed to have a shot.

I'm rooting for you. It was a lot more fun when you were winning. Please go back to that!

You don’t understand he’s down in the rabbit hole as a gambler, and if he can’t get back to his previous all time high it’s not even worth it for him. I’m not saying that is logical thinking, but it’s too late for him to change strategies at this point from his POV.
