Some people had doubts but so long as I never admitted it then they couldnt prove anything, despite how illogical my story was. I would admit to it this day but no one has bothered to bring it up again(over 25 years ago it happened.)

Latest Bikeking video really lays it down. He' basically broke and not even really winning in poker at all.

Its been an interesting vlog run at least.

At least he is realizing he may have to go back to the working world, or even that the working world is not that bad in comparison.

Looks like he is responding directly to this thread here regarding food comments.

I thought he originally said he was crushing 1/2 to the tune of ~$20/hr and that's how he built up his $40k bankroll?

Thanks to this thread I went online and completed a Jack in the Box survey. Took the receipt with the confirmation code back to the restaurant, dined on two Jumbo Jacks for $3.25 after taking off the disgusting pieces of scrap leather they call onions.

Did not fall for the upsell of drink or fries. Fed half of one to my dog. She liked it.

Bikeking reporting constant car troubles. Battery cells out now.

"Fix one thing with the car, another one breaks. Hybrid battery warning light now that can't be looked at until tomorrow. "

Gl bikeking. If you need a new battery it's RIP your liferoll.

Edit: Ah, I read your tweets. Got it fixed for $350. Nice

And if your life roll really is <$2k, then I would advise at least working a part time job while you grind poker. 20 hrs of a job + 20 hrs of poker a week is doable and gives you a bit of a financial cushion. Or hopefully you're getting enough hours in with that balloon gig.

Strange for a Prius. I wonder if it's because he leaves it on all night.

Leaving a car running all night in park has to have some sort of negative effects on the car. It just seems that the car wasn't designed for that.

He needs to snatch up some credit cards for a cushion. Just open up like $10k in credit cards to use for living expenses.

Bikeking should sell Go Gamble hats for the Trooper on a consignment basis. No use starting his own brand. Maybe, Trooper can give him 5 bucks per hat sold.

Two hats per month covers his gym membership. 30 hats per month equals 150 bucks. That's more than enough for gas money and groceries. Go Gamble equals gas and food, Bikeking. Are you listening?

What's Uber/Lyft for most people is AirBnB for BikeKing.

Can you imagine an AirBnB ad for his Prius in the Paris Parking Garage? Can't beat this location! Free wifi! "Compact Studio on Wheels"! Comes with a bucket to pee in!

LOL

But where does Bikeking sleep while his Prius is being occupied for the night by a renter?

They have shared rooms on Airbnb.

You guys are ruthless. You're supposed to "punch up" not "punch down"

I get it though, with the story about the money, etc.

Does one sleep in a bathroom stall at Excalibur when the Prius is in the shop?

Love the new vlogs, painful honesty is what people will follow and when Trooper was doing that in the beginning his vlog was growing like crazy.

One thing I don’t understand though is how if he graduated top of his class and had one of the best aviation jobs around out of school why after a 20k online score did he only move to Vegas with 20k? So you mean with all that money he was earning he was dead broke and could only move with the money he won in the tournament? Doesn’t add up, either he had major life leaks or is terrible at saving money.

Also let the bank account western union story go and stop talking about it, we are all going to agree to disagree on whether it actually happened or not so bringing it up when we don’t believe you only stops everyone from moving on.

Love the new vlogs man, keep it up
