How do you celebrate a big win ?

[djefferis]

So had a decent size win today (15k - non gambling related).

Question is how to celebrate ?

Thinking taking 1/3 and spending on myself on something I’ve been wanting for a while (and always too cheap to buy).

1/3 on a vacation for me and the wife

1/3 “investing” in my gambling bankroll.

I know - should be putting that last 1/3 into stock market or something - but I’m already invested and have a rainy day fund/savings for the unexpected already that’s long established.

My gambling fund is just my “personal” savings that I keep stocked for gambling/bonus opportunities. Eventually as it grows I pull excess out and move it over to investments - but always keep a little dry powder in case an opportunity presents itself.

Up to you really

Congrats on that winning, DJ.

Buying something you wanted/papering yourself and a vacation really sounds nice.

Put all of it in the college fund…

College fund for Cinnamon and Desiree, that is.

What a loser

I celebrate by thanking God then asking him to help me out on the next bet.

Nobody here bets that type of money or has big wins

A few do.

Just so many “know it all $5 bettors” clogging up the board.

Some very good handicappers posting here - follow and profit. Too many people try to outsmart the book themselves chasing chalk instead of learning to trust wiser minds who have proven they are winners long term.

You sure about that little buddy?
1) up 219k combined DK/FD since 2022
2) WD over 15k since Sat while maintaining 100k
3) even won money betting on the shitty Andreeva sister & taking an outright on "Nicky" who hasn't won since 2022

emailing a former boss is always a satisfying move!

also donating to charity for karma

That's awesome Jeff! No reason not to treat yourself & the wife with a decent chunk & invest the rest. I'm slowly trying to dig my way out of that self-induced canyon in Jan when I lost 100k & reloaded 50k twice to drop to 104k. Once this $5400 WD hits my account gonna deposit another 10k into Wealthfront to get to 177k. Still not back at 204k but hopefully not much longer.

Agree on donating to charity - call it whatever you want, karma/good luck/personal belief

I try to spread around any gambling winnings or other big “found money” hits with one of several organizations.

I don’t like to focus on one or 2 places - rather would give $500 to 10 smaller places than 5k to one. I really should start volunteering more I know - but between work and home - hard to find the time.

When Dougy posts it’s like Billy Hicks coming to visit campus in St. Elmo’s Fire

Dougy’s our Billy Hicks

 

[BigJay]

A lot of times I’ll treat myself to a meal, like today I went to the seafood place I like

And I’ll buy my godson something he likes to surprise him when I pick him up from school
