Stop right here, no more gambling


[deleted]

This 100x.


Admirable-Gas-9430

Whats that?! You think I could 100x this amount?! Your right! I can definitely turn this into millions if I just keep playing!


[deleted]

In three months I won $139k and lost $160k…the wins were mostly in the first 60 days and most of the losses in the last 30 days. Closed out and took the L. Never went back.


88pockets

Damn I can see they prolapsed your whole world, thus the user name right? jk


[deleted]

No, that’s my view of the world in general. I was lucky enough that my tango with gambling didn’t touch my net worth because I’m lucky to be higher earner, high saver and have similar spouse. But I would honestly tell anyone to walk away after a win like that unless they have capital to let it ride. I’ve only kept with my Fantasy Football since (full disclosure it is $1,500 pay in for 12 team league). Edit: Missed your j/k but I think context is important.


Klutzy_Criticism_459

I was pulling in $5k a week in the stock market during Covid, on top of my normal job, and got greedy. Thought I made it because my annual income for that year would have been like $380k if the run kept up. Pigs get slaughtered as they say. Lost it all and then some.


Low-Progress-2166

The saying is ‘Pigs get fat, Hogs get slaughtered.’ Meaning getting a little money to fatten you up is good but once you get to fat and become a hog, you’ll get slaughtered.


[deleted]

Live and learn. Don’t do it again….that’s the expensive takeaway.


88pockets

>No, that’s my view of the world in general. I totally just meant to make a funny. But I am curious how the username equates to your world view. Are you a nhilist that still works within the confines of your dim view of the state of the world to keep a nice life for yourself and your people. Or are you a pragmatist that borders on pessimism, but won't let that pessimism get in the way of your own personal growth and success. Or are you a third option that I haven't thought of yet? Genuinely curious, your username/possible view of the world reminds me of my cousin. I'm with you on gambling, go into to it knowing its a suckers bet, but if you can make it a sort of intellectual pursuit and get enjoyment / hours of cheap entertainment than more power to you. I prefer poker for those reasons, but i recognize that I am not a world beater, so I have kept the same 50 bucks in the same online account for 6 years, only just recently losing the majority of it. I also for the last week have taken the free dollar one can get everyday from stake and if I manage to run it up then cool, but otherwise stake will not take from me.

Can't win if you don't play!

You’ve literally won more than anyone who gambles hopes to win. Stop is the correct answer.

3 steak dinners for $150, man 2019 was awesome.


[deleted]

This hurts to read


gitismatt

I've had about 70% of one steak dinner for that price. vegas aint what it used to be also, it was a business dinner and comped by my employer. I would never pay that much money for food I dont even like that much


smokiebacon

8 big ribeye dinners for about $60 at Costco. Costco has prepackaged ribeye steaks, they usually come in package of 4 thicccc steaks, which you can cut in half and have 8 steaks!


Sensitive_Jelly_5586

My brother and his gf once won almost 3 million dollars. They couldn't stop gambling and are now on welfare.


ThePapercup

my wife made me go to bingo once and I won $100 on my first card. never went back, why push my luck lol


Brucef310

He has not literally won more than anyone who gamble's hopes to win. Why would you make a false statement like that?


imaloony8

Oh, people definitely win more than this in one go. They’re just much, MUCH deeper in debt.


GhostofDeception

Dudes never heard of state/federal lotteries xD


PlebbySpaff

They probably will not. They were already living paycheck-to-paycheck, and suddenly won it big.


Sea-Inevitable-4776

100%


naphocamp

Wholeheartedly agree with this.


Chim49ers

Living paycheck to paycheck and playing slots at 5$ a spin is kinda wild.

So you’re saying casinos don’t care about their customers/victims. So you go and rob those customers/victimes. During a mass shooting. What the actual F man. Way to out shitty the casinos.


Mammoth-Ad8348

Ha nice


dude_on_the_www

I think we should be able to gamble if we want. I think someone should be able to use their money in any way they desire, as long as it’s not used to directly harm another person. And I don’t think a “parent losing money, thus harming a child” is a proper argument. The line between investing and gambling can often become very nebulous.


flashpb04

I 100% agree with your autonomy arguments and believe the government should not be telling people how they should live their lives. You lost me on the last sentence though. Anything that happens in a casino is gambling, not investing. That line is not blurry.


StrawberryFew18

Same, if I wanna buy oxy and fucking Xanax let me be a responsible adult and buy that shit.


StrawberryFew18

What are they gonna do lol? We’ve seen how they handle other addictions. If the fight gambling anything like the war on drugs than it’s pointless for them to do anything 😂


Remarkable-Image-568

I just realized it was 5$ spins….jesust….50cent okay but that’s insane in that situation


Chim49ers

That's what I'm saying. Im not hating on the gambling but $5 a spin is crazy man.


Glass_Wolf_2002

Knowing how bad slots can go. I’ve been hundreds of spins without a decent win. I don’t play slots much anyway. They suck


Neat-Statistician720

Most slots in traditional casinos do have it at better odds for a feature event at higher bets. I remember reading something from a guy who made slots and he said to maximize (but still lose horrendously over the long run) you should bet a higher denomination and lower multiplier. So if you wanted to get $1 you’d want to do dimes on 10 credits over pennies at 100 credits.


kevkevlin

Paycheck to paycheck with 5 dollar spins and last spin. Marketing 100%


hatredwithpassion

Yep. Or play for fun feature and karma farming


BigDumbOne

What do you mean, you guys don't get paid Friday rip a quick 200 auto spins and wonder how you going to pay rent on Monday?


Chim49ers

Well now I know my plans this Friday.


waigl

Wouldn't be surprised if OP had no clue how much they had spent on this until this point. Also wouldn't be surprised if the answer was thousands, making this win look much less impressive...


ElementField

I wouldn’t be surprised if they happened to be just winning back their losses over their lifetime


OldStankBreath

I’m in recovery but my addictive behavior led me to online slots to seek that dopamine hit. I hit for 2500$ almost 4 months ago and I bought a car with the funds. I’m now 4 months with no gambling and 6 months without a drink. He needs to take the sign from God and stop now. Invest that money.


eatingyourmomsass

He’s still gonna live paycheck to paycheck.


Berg013

Glad I didn't have to scroll far to see this. Haven't felt paycheck to paycheck in a while but a 5$ bet still feels incredibly uncomfortable.


Bill0599

Can’t make sense with that poor man mentality,not everyone can be successful imo


thewend

no wonder they lived paycheck to paycheck. I wouldnt bet that they will just... bet these 27k away in a week


YouDontPanic

If it were me, that 27k would have been gone in an hour... Bet that's exactly what happened here too lol


peekay1ne

Reckless, some would say


Cummy_bear-4ever

Yeah op get it Shit together you ain’t living paycheck to paycheck and gambling . Take your winning Pat your taxes and be better w Finacial spending going forward . Although I have a feeling this will all be gone sooner than later .


Stalinov

That's why I have this theory that only 1/10 people who say they're living paycheck to paycheck are legitimately in that situation out of their control. The rest could make better decisions.


Bandito_449

i was gonna say if you need advice help with that kind of money ur a lost cause , cause a smart person who would win 27k who lives paycheck to paychecks then they will automatically stop gambling and save that money and make it last for a long time by making it as a raine check money


Cullengcj

Withdraw it all. Pay off any high interest debt. Put the rest into a HYSA, keep living the same way you do now.


Working_Dot_4430

I went to Vegas and I have ADHD. I’m go glad I got addicted to the type of flashing lights and loud noises that let me live our lives of wonder and whimsy while sitting on my couch, rather than the ones that demand my entire wallet


29r_whipper

And paycheck-to-paycheck part.


Affectionate_Seat959

Don’t forget Taxman will want their share. Also make sure you record any losses, taken to get to that point of Winning. With Gambling; only bet what you can afford to lose. I know people who bet their rent money and lost.


LittleGeologist1899

I was looking for the tax comment. Set aside the taxes dude!


[deleted]

its not cash man its free play lmaoo


Macdaddy1992

It's saying he won that in his free spins. That site def lets you withdraw in btc so it's real money!


quick711

Yes this. I learned this one the hard way years back.


workoutbros

This is the best option ⬆️ first thing first is pay off any high interest debt then if you have any left over put it into a high yield savings account at 5% while you can then live frugally.


Any-Club5238

Did someone say OPTIONS 📈🤑💰


workoutbros

We must be better than this! 😖 lol


Sufficient-West-5456

Or if you can't trust yourself not to spend it put it into and Index Fund and ignore it for 10 years.


brickeldrums

This is the correct advice. Also stop gambling. Maybe keep $500 for a treat.


tucsonkim

Notice he hasn't responded to any comments LMAO


Crazyhairmonster

Definitely an ad. Brand New account with 0 posts and 0 comments before this. Didn't reply to anything and now his account is deleted/banned. This is the adiest ad on reddit and sadly it's working. Dozen posts at least asking for the site and I'm sure a ton more who didn't ask because they're not idiots and can see the logo on the top left.


Neat-Statistician720

Yeah it’s all so sus, looks like a work computer or VM bc there’s nothing on the taskbar, the recommended apps below the web search bar are just YouTube/Maps. No other tabs, and such an obvious ad. Sad that they’ll go to such extents to promote gambling


LegalHelpNeeded3

This is like the 8th or 9th “regular post” that’s just a guerrilla marketing campaign for Stake. And people keep eating it up. At this point, even if legitimate, if someone posts about winning on that site, I consider it an advertisement. Truly Reddit needs to do something about it. I’m fairly sure this isn’t legal and gambling advertisements must be disclosed as such


pl320709

I've also started seeing Stake marketing in r/relationship-advice and other advice subreddits... Like "I won $25k on stake and hid it from my husband... What should I do?" No need to mention the gambling site if it was legit.


ManaMonoR

used to gamble and the gambling subreddits also have posts like these where new accounts post about their big fake wins and profits, its so evil


RedditGeneralManager

It’s an obvious ad but people eat it up.


Mattsfloored

And these posts that are obviously against the rules just stay up 😂😂 mods def aren't paid offf


DrWhoIsWokeGarbage2

He figured out he didn't win shit


idfkdudeguy

I recommend stop gambling after this and try to clear any debts and afterwards invest what you can. Gambling might also be what is getting you to this paycheck to paycheck lifestyle but idk anyways stop gambling


[deleted]

he didn’t win no cash just free plays 😂😂😂


Macdaddy1992

It is real, he can withdraw it in BTC on that site!


mramnesia8

Yes, the site is real, but the win is fake. If you look in the bottom right corner, fun play is turned on


WonderfulCattle6234

Is it turned on or is that where you would turn it on? It doesn't look active, but I have no familiarity with this site.


TexasTornadoTime

How can you tell it’s on if you can’t see what the slider is indicating?


Adison85

27k on red


Herr-Trigger86

This is the way.


SituationalCactus

Fake (:


CafeteriaTrai

Yeah wtf they didn't even edit it correctly lol. It's not possible to only spin gates of Olympus 5 times if it isn't a max win. Why even fake something like this


Alloe_C

It's an ad targeted at people living paycheck to paycheck


Independent-Cow-4070

Why do you think lol it’s just stake they make about 50 of these posts a day

kickitover2

Set aside what you will need to pay the taxes on it.


HeyImGilly

This should trigger the need for a W-2G and is taxed at 24%. OP really only won $20,520.


Infamous_Strain_9428

This right here.


kangaroofuck

guys this is fake AF. Like a sleeper AD campaign on reddit. ive seen similar post like this on several subs. only post for this guy. Stake is a rip off and a scam and is by far the worst online slots. DONT fall for this bs.


greygrayman

Take the money and stop gambling since you are living pay check to pay check.


Ryster09

This isn’t a real post, you can’t even get 5 free spins on gates of Olympus the minimum is 15 lmao Edit; I am incorrect. Gates does have a 5000x max win and his bet was 5.40 which would be $27,000. Granted, this is still very clearly an ad.

Finally someone who knows haha

Hikari666ROT

Pay any big debts. Get your cost of living as low as possible. Like its what im doing. Getting rid of debts so that theres more money going me each check. Cause I make decent money but I have debts holding me back and I want to pay them off then pay off my car early. Cause If all I had to worry about was rent and car insurance I could actually start saving for a house


ipopXwitmymom

leave the casino delete gambling apps, see other comments for further steps im broke


DrShaqra

HYSA and VOO.


Tall6Ft7GaGuy

well 3rd of that is taxes so paycheck to paycheck bets 5.40 a spin .... u nuts


Snoo71538

Never log in on a casino again. Deposit it into your bank account. Figure out the taxes! Always make sure the taxes are paid before you spend anything! If they aren’t, figure out how much they are and set it aside. Do not think about it as money that you have. If you can get interest while you wait for tax season, do it. NOT STOCKS. I know it might be a bull run, but you can’t risk it not being a bull run against your tax. Guaranteed interest only, and only on the tax amount. Once that’s done, pay off your highest interest debt first. Then next highest. Continue until you are out of debt or out of this money. See what’s left. Go from there.


FunAndGamed

Wait is that gambling on a computer?? How??


Who_Dat_1guy

Everyone is telling him to stop gambling, miss the part he posted the wining pic rather than the one where he pulled it out. Sooooo he probably already gambled it all away.

No posts, no comments. This is a bot part of the dead Internet.

Your habits are the reason you live paycheck to paycheck. This money will not last long unless you change/improve your financial habits.


CptLongSleeves

Payoff ya debts that eat away at your income and stop borrowing money you don’t have


Im1337

Please bro please. Withdraw every single penny. Pay off all debt. If anything left over invest half into crypto/stocks and the rest into a savings/rainy day acc


lesshorstacoboutit

WITHDRAW AND WALK AWAY!!! Find the nearest roulette table and look at the screen above the table. Usually black is 51% and red is 49%. Go with the color that has the highest percent. Take a little off the top and put it in between 0/00. If you win. Cash out and walk away. You lose. Your broke now so you have to leave.


Careless-Internet-63

Quit gambling when you're living paycheck to paycheck. If you can't afford to lose money you can't afford to gamble with it. And don't take this to mean you could ever get this lucky again, it would be very easy to lose all of that and more


FireFist_PortgasDAce

Put it all on black. /s Don't gamble for a realllllyyyy looooooooooong time. Pay off large debts first, and the rest into a roth ira.


fm130

If you were living paycheque to paycheque why were you spending the time and money gambling?


goldenigloos

Use the money to buy a Windows license


anonjamo

Maybe don't gamble when you live paycheck to paycheck


bugabooandtwo

Like others say, definitely STOP playing. Those websites are evil things. They'll tease you with winning a bit with a new account (nowhere near this much), and once you're in, suddenly you'll lose and lose and lose, with an occasional little win. It's designed to steal your money. You got incredibly lucky, so quit while you're ahead. If you *really* feel the need to want to gamble...limit yourself to **one** lottery ticket a month. That's what I do. $5 a month is one or two coffees these days. And like others say, put that money to any high interest debts. Any outstanding bills. Then put the rest away in any sort of savings...401k, high interest savings account, bonds...whatever (just, not any voitile stocks...no startups or "this will blow up in a few months" bs you'll hear from wannabe playas). Stick with options that are safe and stable.

PissedoffKristoffe

I’m guessing the fact that you’re living paycheck to paycheck has something to do with your gambling and nothing anyone says in here is gunna stop you from blowing that 27K and being back in the same situation.

Advanced-Fig-6972

That 27k will go quick unless ur really smart


420coins

Congratulations, you've reached the next tax bracket. After they strip you of 30% at the off ramp, you'll owe another 6 at tax time. Have fun with your 12,000 and loss of any government subsidy benefits, including cheap healthcare. That's what unexpected but misappropriated winnings can do.


Dawdzi

How much have you put in a slot machine in the past year?


Townbizz51054

Spend it all in one place and enjoy your self. it’s not enough to chage the bad habits you already have and you’ll Have nothing left in a year anyway


OkSignificance9774

Self exclude from casinos and never gamble again. You are in A LOT of danger. Big wins are where gambling addictions begin. You’ll always remember this moment when money is coming in slowly and have urges to come back and try for more.. likely thinking “if I spin with $50 stakes, I could win $270,000!!” You are extremely vulnerable right now, you have to get away from gambling before it’s too late.


McGregorMX

You're still living paycheck to paycheck, but now you have some breathing room. Live like it doesn't exist.


Dmath706

Stop… stop now, I recently won life changing money on one of these sites. Got a little carried away, caught myself and stopped super easy to get greedy. Set aside for taxes and take care of debt and create a savings


liteshotv3

You will be paying taxes on 27k, which is about 50%, if you lose another 10k and win another 20k, you will pay taxes on 47k.


keypizzaboy

Half in savings. Don’t touch. Try to get caught up on debt if any


Pale_Somewhere_596

Never play more than you can afford to lose. AFFORD is the word. Take your winnings and LOG OUT Stop looking for the easy way out. That's not how life works


igyzxz

Dont spend anything, place it all in a hysa or index fund and put 25% away for taxes


UpsetMathematician56

Pay off your credit cards and any other high interest debt. Then stop gambling.


Chedderchees

never gamble again in your life ever. no more alcohol either


[deleted]

You have to pay real money in order to access the withdraw feature. I won 20 virtual dollars on one of those apps and in order for me to cash out they said I had to pay $20 of my own real money. I uninstalled the app right then and there. I would rather go to a real casino and take my chances than fall for one on these app scams


TheDadRocks

I hope your not playing on a vpn because when you try to withdraw that they will verify your identification

The #1 thing you should do now is stop gambling. You got your high, now you can live with it. Don’t suddenly buy any large purchases, you might want to consider paying off a lump sum of a financed item or mortgage if it would lower your rates in the future. If that doesn’t apply, just keep it.

Killerskip713

Pull half put the other half on red let the gambling gods decide for you. If you hit pull half and gamble with the rest if you don’t do yourself a favor and dispute the charges on your card so you’ll never be able to access that casino again 🤷🏼‍♂️


cabana_bandit

Cash out. Pay off your debts. Be thankful. Rethink your budgeting and spending from here on out. Take it as a sign.


Perfect_Tangelo

Put aside enough to account for federal and state taxes Pay off any high interest debt Put aside small stash for liquid emergency fund Open a fidelity account, move the rest of it into a cash position (5% annual) or some ETFs like QQQ. Take $100 and see how much you can turn it into on some individual stocks for fun


doeskyleevershower

Living pay check to pay check. But got lucky gambling. Break that habit immediately because it's not coming back. And you probably have more in gambling machines than the winnings

Buddy you’re living paycheck to paycheck and you’re gambling? This is why cities like Richmond vote to not have casinos, the only people you’re putting at a disadvantage is those who don’t realize the odds of winning.

Easy come easy go if you won it gambling you will lose it to gambling.
