What's your biggest or best score?

[The Boys]

Maybe a sports wager, or you bought and sold something? I have so many I should make a list. But one of my best scores at least % wise was in the mid 70's when I bought 35 Louis I'Cart lithographs for $50 a piece and sold just one of them for $25,000 a few years later to a Japanese dealer.

Do you have a story to tell, please do.

I won a boat a few times, $50K and a truck, but that was a competition not gambling.

That's awesome. Did you keep the boats or sell them? Do you have to pay tax when you win a boat, I assume you do.

 

[fatdaddycool]

You get a certificate for at the time $38K towards a new boat. I sold the certificates for $30K. Whomever uses the certificate has to pay the taxes. I didn't keep any of them, I already had a long standing boat deal with Ranger

This was years ago, probably 2005-2006 timeframe. Won at least $5K, it was probably more. I gave it to my wife to spend on clothes and home furnishings. She was happy

Happy Wife = Happy Life

Crazy Wife = Crazy Life

Seems like I now have a mix of the two above.....lol

Interesting topic...

you know I've never said much for various reasons but you always talk like such a big shot about your upscale lifestyle it make me nuts.. So fuck it... I'm dunk at 2:30am so let's talk biggest scores

The short hand version

About ten years ago a young Oklahoman gentlemen comes to you and your family and asks for a 50,000 dollar investment in a start up company in exchange for stock

You agree..The Okie entrepreneur finds other investors and starts a company. He calls it PayCom

You an your family now have 850,000 shares in a worthless stock. but you keep your fingers crossed and go about your business..

Fast forward.
At the start of 2015 Paycom goes public.. It's stock handle is PAYC, currently trading at over 37 bucks a share.
I'll let youd do the math... But a decent "score" even by Madjackers standards.


Prada is garbage... enjoy your "Alfresco Itallian Dinner"

I got a Snickers bar from a machine in 1986, and the one behind it fell out, too!

I enjoyed one, and gave the other to my camel.

I never gambled big like a lot here. My biggest was turning $50 into $3k at party poker.

My best score was my wife and kids.

Now that they are gone, I wish I would have realized it sooner.
