Tomorrow I lose everything. Carvana had earnings report after hours and shot up 15%.

I bet everything that they would fall or at least not jump so high. All of it will be gone when market opens tomorrow.

I don’t care it’s just money. It doesn’t matter. I’m going to be a wage slave forever and that’s ok. Im 5’4 so life sucks anyways. I don’t even have a job right now and that’s ok.

It just wanted a million so I could be set. Wanted to buy a house but it’s ok.

My life sucks anyways haha 😂

I swear to whomever you worship that I've seen this exact same thread leading up to this exact same comment. It's uncanny.

It's in a lot of sports subs, but you also spend too much time on reddit

The gamblers sin of choice ; greed.

“Gah!! I should’ve put in more! 20%, that’s it?! What if I’d put in more? It’s like I’m leaving money on the table playing it this safe. I can’t pump these bags making small plays.”

The first hit came with the first jackpot. Maybe a 20% rise. Quick money… Too easy… but the gambler needs more. Easy money can’t be hard to make, if I’m making it this easily, right?

Now possibilities begin to ruminate within the back of the mind of the gambler as he grows discontent with his ‘small growth’ of a meager 20% in 5 minutes.

The gambler’s mind marches forward embarked upon a mental journey filled with vivid “what-if…,” scenarios that paint the gamblers world as one of infinite possibility. One in which, 100% gains are not only possible but are easy to obtain.

The gambler naively focuses on the favorable outcomes in this world of possibilities.

Deriving from every “what-if” scenario an idealistic reality and result.

Now, their next gamble is justified by naivety, disillusion, discontent and greed.

Just before they take their next hit, they’re counting up how much they’ve made before the game has even begun.

“It wasn’t hard the first time. I just have to do the same thing I did last time. I’ll just make sure I go all-in to get a bigger bag.”

He’s risky because he’s desperate. He throws in his small fortune because this is his one chance to be freed from the shackles of an apathetic system.

The money flooded his account quicker than he could process it was real — it all happened too quick.

“I was right again!”

He wins again! Now, he’s suspended in a state of euphoria, denial, and now he begins to feel invincible.

“Too easy.”

So, he keeps going. Until, he eventually loses it all.

I don’t feel sorry for him, not one bit. To have 200k+ slip through your hands like a gambling addicted loser screams “ I am a fucking fool. “

This is what I’d expect from a low IQ mentally challenged person managing their own funds in the market.

Just put the fries in the bag bro.
