      A 4-Week T-Bill is at 4.25%… How much would he have made putting the money there?

        5k.

        So he would have had to roll it over once and received his 11k in a few weeks

            I would love to watch video of that guy watching the second half… I would pay for that… The smugness and bravado slowly melting away… The smile that starts to develop a little twitch at the corner of the mouth… The eye tick that develops… And then the sheer agony of the final drive…

            Yeah, i’m not ashamed to say I would watch that.

                • The largest reported pregame bet of the weekend at Caesars Sportsbook was $880,000 on the Baltimore Ravens +6.5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was placed early in the week, before Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was officially ruled out. The line closed at Bengals -8.

                "It was the first time this customer has had a bet that size," Craig Mucklow, vice president of trading for Caesars Sportsbook, said. "We figured they were betting on Lamar playing."

                The Bengals won 24-17..

                  I’ve said this before but I’m not cut out to gamble. I simply won’t risk enough to make the winnings all that interesting. At least on games where the risk and payout isn’t too lopsided (ie not the powerball).

                      @Jolly Risks are quite low on my time horizon.

                      What I don’t do is buy leveraged futures, etc. I don’t even speculate on single stocks.

                        I'm the same way. I hate risk. Even buying the new house 2 months before we sold our last one caused me unbelievable stress, as I was convinced the housing market was going to crash. It drives Mrs. Phibes nuts.

                          I work on commission with performance based bonuses. Every day is a gamble. I honestly don’t know if I could adjust to a completely salaried job. I don’t think I could stomach knowing exactly how much money I was going to make each and every month this year.

                            Hanging on the precipice of financial ruin is a good way to take your mind off your own mortality.

                            Education is extremely important.
