Quoted from ElectricCircuit:I don't need help lmao I love it it's my favorite hobby. I don't mind losing a few thousand here and there the losses are nothing compared to the wins. I just love playing. Hit 50k on ohio state moneyline vs Oregon this year. When you have money to spend you don't need help. It's when you don't have money and spend it that's where you have a problem. Floyd may weather bets 1 million on games does he have a problem? Yes, too much money is his problem.
50k on Ohio, 50k on maryland, 10k on Indiana=110k gambled, even if you made 2 million dollars pre tax last year that would mean that you willingly gambled over 10% of your yearly income this year within just those 3 games. It seems a bit compulsive, whether winning or not. To put this into perspective, Floyd Mayweather is looking at about 180 million of his paquiao fight and probably another 100 million in endorsements. Assuming he didn't schedule another fight this year he'd take home about 130 million after taxes, a 1 million dollar bet by Floyd would be 1.3% of his yearly income. He would need to bet 11.7 million dollars to bet the same amount of yearly income on 3 games
