Bill E. 703 Posted January 12, 2024 I took the Steelers for $200 at +11500 so when they get in I will go to Vegas to hedge the bet just in case they do not win the Superbowl. Should I book my airline ticket now or wait? I can save a couple hundred if I book it early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeachGuy23 642 Posted January 12, 2024 Your $23k is all but guaranteed. I say you get a cash advance from your credit card, hit Vegas early, and use that free cash to really make this life changing money. Congratulations friend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take an advance on the $23k and put it on the Steelers at +11500. That is like $2.5M and if I lose I am only out my original $200!!! You would think I would have thought of that since I used to be an Accountant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking more of you in one of those high stakes black jack or poker rooms, but hey if you want to double down on the Stillers that's a great idea too. You my friend will be able to retire early or buy some fancy vacation house or just go to some strip club and make it rain like some baller rapper or athlete. You are about to live the life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was not judging myself I was judging you. And why the Nevada food bank? People in Nevada do not need my money, I already sent them $200. (Actually $100. A friend wanted in on the action and so I sold him half my bet. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
