Anything is possible, and of course a quarter mil to some of those Wall Street boys is chump change.
That being said, I have a close friend who owns two Phillies season tickets, good seats, and he sells a number of them on StubHub. He told me just because a ticket is listed at a particular price, doesn't mean it sells at that price. But this guy said it was "confirmed" so perhaps it did.
Based on what other tickets are selling for, I believe the guy's story.
I don't know what the base price is on these seats for the season ticket holders. But obviously if they're flipping them, they are very happy campers right now.
seen or heard of this guy before? his name is Matt Morrow -- a gambler & content creator. his son works with him, along with a couple of other guys. i like them for a few reasons. first, they document their gambling sessions from beginning to end -- win or lose. second, he keeps a running profit/loss tally (like i do). third, they are a likeable bunch. fourth, they gamble a lot of money lol. their P/L status is laid out above the comments of any vid. they predominantly play slots, but they also hit up table games like blackjack, baccarat, et al. he's wealthy by trade (real estate), but his youtube page has turned into his bread & butter -- he has over 1.5 million subscribers now. any time he hits a subscriber milestone, he bets a commensurate amount. this short vid was when he reached 1.4 mil. he celebrated it by playing one 14k hand of baccarat, and it was especially entertaining because it took place right in front of the casino owner.
i think you guys will enjoy their content.
btw, have any of you ever played baccarat? quick, fun, easy game
Never engaged in Baccarat. Blackjack has out priced my interest. It's a grinding type game. But when was a reasonable buy in, was enjoyable. Haven't played poker in years and never at a casino level. Now content with the nags,golf,the occasional Nascar bet for action.

interesting line movement for tonight's game. opened at -6 @ my book, now down to -4. no clear reason for it. injury report hasn't changed. gl to anyone who hits it.
Seems like a feeding frenzy going on with Spurs money coming in.
You'd think a championship team would be quite pumped after getting blown out in the previous game, especially coming back home? But evidently the betting public doesn't think so.
Good grief - All the props I was contemplating, using Wemby and SGA, are almost basically down the drain by the end of the first quarter. They still have time to hit, but it's quite a long shot on all of it.
Very pleased right now with my disciplined non-bets.
Still might grab something later if it jumps out at me.
The money movement towards a team has been wrong on a number of games this NBA playoff season.
and it happened again tonight
I liked the OKC ML for reasons previously mentioned. But can't complain because I was also gonna play a Wenby and SGA, PRA prop. Would have lost on Wemby by a mile, and would have gotten hooked on SGA. Would have lost money on the game.
Thursday, Spurs at -3.5, and the handicapping fun begins again.
Certainly not inconceivable at all. They've got some really nice momentum going, and at the right time.
Also they have a killer instinct. They seem to enjoy beating up on teams. Not just winning, but running up the score as well.
For sure, they're gonna give ya everything they got, and they won't quit. The first game with the Cavs proved that. When ya wager on a dog, that's what you wanna see.
here's Vegas Matt with 150k on a BJ table in celebration of 1.5 mil subscribers
he bets 25k per hand (6 total)
how much do you think he lost/won?
The video didn't exactly seem to show him cashing out now did it? LOL
But even if he did cash out, the casino owner isn't the least but worried. The owner knows this guy will come back another time, try the same thing again, lose it all back, and more. It's a mathematical certainty.

he was already rich before he started that endeavor, and his youtube channel has only bolstered that. they pump out a video on the daily. he obviously wants to win, but if not, he still wins. a dream scenario like those 6 hands are just icing on the proverbial cake for him.

Completely agree with ya. I recall the advent of online poker. Except for the nosebleed players who played rake free and received salaries for playing on the websites to attract players wishing to try their luck against them. The big money in online poker wasn't made playing poker, it was made getting others to play, and getting them upon sign-up, to use the affiliate member's particular code number. That way the member received a constant piece of the action off every signee.
I didn't thoroughly check-out this guy's Youtube channel, and yes he makes a bundle just off the views. But it wouldn't surprise me if he also has affiliate commission links, if that is allowed on Youtube - may not be, not at all sure.
I didn't notice any affiliate links on his Youtube channel, but he's got his website posted on there. On the website are affiliate commission links galore.
one more content creator i've watched is Lady Luck. she's easy on the eyes, but she typically only shows big wins and that i do not particularly care for
I mentioned awhile back that I was going to the casino more often at that time because the jackpot at UTH was over 25k. You make a $1 side bet and if you hit the Royal, Bingo!
Well I didn’t hit but I heard the guy that won it didn’t tip the dealer anything. Kind of pissed me off because they have good, friendly dealers. They work hard, they stand all day doing their job except on breaks, I’ve seen some of them before where they shift their weight back and forth and you can tell they’re tired of standing. But they rarely complain. So no tip on a huge win like that is just pitiful. I felt bad for them, I know a lot of them on a first name basis. 😫😡🤬
The one time I got a royal flush at UTH was before Boot Hill had the progressive jackpot. I think I won between $2,500- 3,000 on the hand.
I remember it really well because I look at my cards once and then put them down and don’t look again. I take note of what suit and card they are. So that hand I had both red queens so I bet on my pocket pair right away. So after all the cards had come out on the board they included the 10, J, K, and Ace of hearts. So it was cool that there was never any self doubt about my cards, I knew I had both red queens! 🥳
It was such a great feeling.
One of these days I’m going through that entire boxing thread and making sure all of them are great photos. I mean they can’t all be great!
We should be betting on after we make a post how long it takes before that thread is at the top again. I swear my posts average 40 seconds before he has to be on top again.

"It Took 7 YEARS and IT FINALLY HAPPENED on a New Slot"
I clicked on her top video, scrolled to around ten different spots, but the highest total I saw was $3,700. If she considers that a "jackpot", especially when she's playing the high dollar slots, well then more power to her. Perhaps she hit a larger amount on another video but I didn't feel like clicking them on to try to find it.
I don't know if Vegas still offers Keno or not? But I read one time whereby in the entire history of Las Vegas, nobody has ever hit the Keno top jackpot which at the time would pay 50k. The actual odds of hitting it are 1 in 3.5 quintillion (1 in 3,535,316,142,212,174,320) Yes, you read that right, offering 50k when the odds are 1 in 3.5 quintillion.
Another thing about slot jackpots. I have read media stories about folks hitting a casino slot jackpot, and wildly jumping up and down as they should. I certainly would do the same thing. Only to find out shortly later that the jackpot was due to a computer malfunction, and therefore null and void. Some have sued the casino over this, and to my knowledge, the suits have been unsuccessful. The courts have always ruled in the casinos favor.
I forget exactly what it was, but this is close. One elderly couple after hitting one of these huge slot jackpots, which turned out to be void. The casino apologized, and offered them a free meal and room comp. Are you kidding me? Cheap beyond belief.
If you're looking for mercy, casinos sure ain't the place to find it. LOL

I do believe you are a generous tipper, I give you crap but I do believe you. I do think most gamblers know the right thing to do is tip the dealer after a nice win.
When my casino offered Texas hold ‘em poker before Covid, they had a bad beat jackpot. It was progressive and topped out when it hit 25k. I actually won it one time and received half that, 12.5k. The guy that actually beat me in that hand I think received half what I got and I think the rest of the players got to split what was left. Anyway I tipped the dealer $500 and bought the table a round of drinks and tipped the waitress $100. So pretty soon one of the players, who was a regular, told me not to tip anymore. I didn’t know why he said that so when I got a chance I asked one of the other regulars in private why that player had said that. He said it was because that player was the last one to win the 12.5k before me and he only tipped the dealer $25. And he thought I was making him look bad because the other regulars remembered how much he tipped. So the next time the waitress came around I made it a point to tip her $100 again. 🥳🥳

Very nice score! And a very nice tip indeed!
If I was running hot at blackjack or craps, I'd usually tip in the form of a live bet. And I would have the same bet, but for a higher amount. For example at craps, I'd throw out a hard six bet, say a quarter chip, and right after the chip was placed on the board, I'd sometimes quickly follow-up by throwing out a nickel chip, and say, "Hard six for the boys." So if I won, they also won.
Outside of a casino, which I haven't been to one in well over 20 years. For example my barber who is a woman, and employs all women. Whoever cuts my hair, I pay the standard fee, and then hand the barber a $20 bill which I think is a good tip.
I tip at restaurants, and everything else tippable, in a similar manner, the amount depending on the situation. But always a good tip. In my view, it's just the right thing to do.
153k - not bad at all. But the way she bets, that won't last very long.
For me, I'd much rather watch high stakes poker, whereby a 153k pot is sometimes not all that uncommon, depending on the game buy-in.
Don't know if you watched this one or not? It was a million dollar buy-in game. At one point in the game, it was Alan Keating and another player. They had their own side pot, nothing to do with playing the hand against the rest of the table. Whereby they were betting against each other on the flop cards, red or black, 100k each per bet. Of course there has to be a winner on each flop. Madness - LOL

Yes Franny is pretty hot but I doubt her whole platform is 100% legit since you never see her lose like you said.
I pretty much stopped watching all these people, I just don't feel like contributing to their gambling money.
just showing you one of her bigger wins, which she no doubt spent more than to make happen. but that part you don't see, which is why i don't like her as much as others we have mentioned who provide no misconceptions of gambling life. someone who has never wagered a dime before yet watches all of her videos would think it's the most glamorous lifestyle imaginable. until they try to do what she does.
As the days have rolled by has it gotten any easier to follow your plan?
i can't speak for perk, but it has been 16 days since my last bet and this 2+ week period has been nothing short of cathartic. highly recommended for anyone who gambles. it gives you a chance to remove yourself from that magnetic field, clear your head, and allow your brain to breathe freely. as i type this, i do not feel the pull.

but it's a breath of fresh air compared to what was happening with him prior to the creation of that thread. he's just minding his own business & doing his thing now. i could never pour in the time and effort to do something similar, nor would i even want to. but i certainly have an appreciation for it.

One thing I did find a bit strange, and don't need a response. But it seems like the casino paid her the full amount. I thought for a hit such as this, the IRS requires casinos to withhold 24%? Admittedly, I may have a misunderstanding of the IRS rules.
As the days have rolled by has it gotten any easier to follow your plan?
Been real easy honestly
I had 2 speed bumps where my buddies had a big group text about some games they liked and another day where a group of friends were going to the local casino for the Preakness, I held strong other than that it's been completely easy.
Thanks for asking and thank you for some of your other comments as well, I appreciate it bro 🍻
There are so many "theories" out there about addictive behavior, and I'm not about to begin any lengthy discussion about that here. Suffice to say that in my opinion, no matter what is the addiction, a person may not stop until they are completely and totally sick and tried of doing it. They've had quite enough of the painful consequences. Getting to that end point could include any number of events or circumstances.
I really hate to say this, but I know someone who is grotesquely overweight. An obvious eating disorder, or addiction it could be called. She's been overweight her entire life, however the past five years or so it's gotten out of control. She is closest to her sister, and I've had some conversations over the years with that sister, and her sister has tried every type of persuasion known to mankind. But her sister still refuses to do anything about it. The part I most hate to say is that some don't ever stop their addiction until they are dead.
The sad fact is gambling addiction has the highest rate of suicide of any other addiction. True story - there was a guy at the track who everybody liked. He always hollered at the horses during a race, and berated the jockeys for bad rides. But was always cordial and friendly to his fellow handicappers. Never tried mooching for money or anything like that. I'm guessing he was around 30 years old, and one day the story spread quickly around the track, that I think it was over a weekend, he went down to a railroad station. Walked over to a railroad track, and laid down over it. Of course an oncoming train killed him instantly. The vision of that sometimes still haunts me to this day.

It definitely makes other things much easier without the incessant need to check scores in the middle of whatever you might be doing
On the 3rd day of my self imposed time out my girl and I were watching a movie and she asked me with a confused look on her face "How come you haven't been checking scores?" 😂😂😂

Had a 50% profit boost on MLB so I had to take it. I swear if I lose this game, I will immediately join a monastery and take a vow of chastity. 😂
Couldn't pull the trigger on anything in the OKC game. May keep an eye out for some live opportunities.

Outside of a casino, which I haven't been to one in well over 20 years. For example my barber who is a woman, and employs all women. Whoever cuts my hair, I pay the standard fee, and then hand the barber a $20 bill which I think is a good tip.
I tip at restaurants, and everything else tippable, in a similar manner, the amount depending on the situation. But always a good tip. In my view, it's just the right thing to do.

153k - not bad at all. But the way she bets, that won't last very long.
For me, I'd much rather watch high stakes poker, whereby a 153k pot is sometimes not all that uncommon, depending on the game buy-in.
Don't know if you watched this one or not? It was a million dollar buy-in game. At one point in the game, it was Alan Keating and another player. They had their own side pot, nothing to do with playing the hand against the rest of the table. Whereby they were betting against each other on the flop cards, red or black, 100k each per bet. Of course there has to be a winner on each flop. Madness - LOL
Yes Franny is pretty hot but I doubt her whole platform is 100% legit since you never see her lose like you said.
I pretty much stopped watching all these people, I just don't feel like contributing to their gambling money.
Day 21
No action
As the days have rolled by has it gotten any easier to follow your plan?
@stevek
just showing you one of her bigger wins, which she no doubt spent more than to make happen. but that part you don't see, which is why i don't like her as much as others we have mentioned who provide no misconceptions of gambling life. someone who has never wagered a dime before yet watches all of her videos would think it's the most glamorous lifestyle imaginable. until they try to do what she does.
i can't speak for perk, but it has been 16 days since my last bet and this 2+ week period has been nothing short of cathartic. highly recommended for anyone who gambles. it gives you a chance to remove yourself from that magnetic field, clear your head, and allow your brain to breathe freely. as i type this, i do not feel the pull.
but it's a breath of fresh air compared to what was happening with him prior to the creation of that thread. he's just minding his own business & doing his thing now. i could never pour in the time and effort to do something similar, nor would i even want to. but i certainly have an appreciation for it.
One thing I did find a bit strange, and don't need a response. But it seems like the casino paid her the full amount. I thought for a hit such as this, the IRS requires casinos to withhold 24%? Admittedly, I may have a misunderstanding of the IRS rules.
I think he may be going for some Guinness book of world record for posting boxing pics in one thread is concerned. 😉
Been real easy honestly
I had 2 speed bumps where my buddies had a big group text about some games they liked and another day where a group of friends were going to the local casino for the Preakness, I held strong other than that it's been completely easy.
Thanks for asking and thank you for some of your other comments as well, I appreciate it bro 🍻
There are so many "theories" out there about addictive behavior, and I'm not about to begin any lengthy discussion about that here. Suffice to say that in my opinion, no matter what is the addiction, a person may not stop until they are completely and totally sick and tried of doing it. They've had quite enough of the painful consequences. Getting to that end point could include any number of events or circumstances.
I really hate to say this, but I know someone who is grotesquely overweight. An obvious eating disorder, or addiction it could be called. She's been overweight her entire life, however the past five years or so it's gotten out of control. She is closest to her sister, and I've had some conversations over the years with that sister, and her sister has tried every type of persuasion known to mankind. But her sister still refuses to do anything about it. The part I most hate to say is that some don't ever stop their addiction until they are dead.
The sad fact is gambling addiction has the highest rate of suicide of any other addiction. True story - there was a guy at the track who everybody liked. He always hollered at the horses during a race, and berated the jockeys for bad rides. But was always cordial and friendly to his fellow handicappers. Never tried mooching for money or anything like that. I'm guessing he was around 30 years old, and one day the story spread quickly around the track, that I think it was over a weekend, he went down to a railroad station. Walked over to a railroad track, and laid down over it. Of course an oncoming train killed him instantly. The vision of that sometimes still haunts me to this day.
It definitely makes other things much easier without the incessant need to check scores in the middle of whatever you might be doing
On the 3rd day of my self imposed time out my girl and I were watching a movie and she asked me with a confused look on her face "How come you haven't been checking scores?" 😂😂😂
