Mahomes has a winning record in the SB Mahomes was 3-0 in SB You don't bet against trends, you bet with trends. It was a good bet that didn't pay out. Every investment is a bet...the stock market is a bet. If you have money in the stock market, you are gambling with your money. I lost 10% of my retirement $$$ on the bet You win some You lose some That's life! Life is a gamble. Some win! Some lose! Some stay the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No you're not. There is risk, same with walking out the door or driving in a car. But its a long ways from betting. If you follow sound investment practices it almost a certainty. Betting is usually a coin flip minus vig. HTH And you're poor, you can't afford to lose 10% of your retirement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Individual stocks are the bet...some win and some lose. So while it's true that the stock market goes up....not all stocks go up. That's why I bet only 10% of my retirement on the SB. Most of my stocks are safe and conservative, but I allow for 10% for BIG RISK BIG REWARD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mahommes was 100% in the SB 100% Prior History vs 46% ROI I still think it was a good risk verus reward bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have been a 91% ROI dummy. And Mahommes was 75% in the SB, now hes 60%. All QBs, and any team to win their third championship in a row were and still are 0%. 0% prior history vs 91% ROI. You can't claim to have had an edge on vegas after you lose. If you would have predicted an Eagles blowout when vegas had it as a pick'em then we'd talk about how smart you were. Instead it's the opposite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 5,316 Posted February 16 Does a constitutional crisis happen when the executive and legislative branch looks for cost savings and staffing reductions or when the lowest rungs of the judicial branch hold nationwide injunctions telling the executive and legislative branches to stop looking for cost savings, demand they pay for everything, and won't let them fire anyone? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It happens when you don’t follow the rules Cost cutting is fine but some of this has to go through Congress. If a judge rules against you and you disobey the judge that’s when the crisis starts. Up to this point Trump hasn’t disobeyed the judges. He’s talked about it but he hasn’t done it. If and when he does it then we will have a crisis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made $4k last year, and about $2800 the year before. Not a lot of money, but fun. Even if I lost I would have had fun. I haven't been to a casino over the past 5-6 years. Maybe it's time for a visit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonmx 2,429 Posted February 17 13 hours ago, HB Localboy said: Every investment is a bet...the stock market is a bet. The stock market has a long history of going up and making money for investors. Casinos and bookies have a long history of taking money from investors. Equating them is the opposite of common sense. But that is why you are $50,000 poorer. If you had put that in the stock market, it probably would have grown to $150k by the time you retire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
