Trip Report & Confession of a Fake High-Roller - Page 5 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

Diamond rings make poor investments but that was not his intention. If the ring stays with her, then passes on to children and so forth he’ll have gotten tremendous value from it.

Lol okay yes I agree. But he was mostly just trying to get the money out of his own reach.

I fear that in the near future we will read a story where the OP yells "RAISE!" and throws his wife's handbag on to the poker table.....

Hey man, you got a bunch of haters, but they just jealous!!!!! I am quite jealous that you sometimes gamble an amount in one day, that took me 15 years of playing $2/5nl to build up to. Personally I rarely ever bring more than $1,500 to a poker game, cause if I lose more than that in a day, it is mentally rough on me.

My Degen of the Day

Signed 10 year lease on water heater today cuz I did not want to fork out $1680 with another plumber

I'm living like a boss with all this extra cash

"Extra bullets" the degen couple screamed when they saw me hit a Royal a few months ago

So you're the exGM of the Mets that signed Barry Bo to that 25 year deal...
Good job.

Good job.

The best part of the Bonilla deal was the greed. They were making so much money off Madoff they would have structured every deal that way. They were clearing 20 percent plus returns in bad years, after paying him. then..they weren't

The whole point of the post is said in the title of it. Confessions of a "fake" high-roller. We have all been trolled and I have some serious doubts as to the validity of these TR reports.

Good thing this isn't an English lit class.

He used it as a metaphor, hence why he went into great detail describing his life roll not being a high roller amount.

The title is meant to convey that he isn't rolled to be a high roller, which is why it's so utterly degen to put so much of his life roll into this.

I remained quiet for the first couple instances of people mentioning but ffs guys this isn't very complicated.

If this story is really just fictional, then i truly don't understand the motivation. Do people get off on fooling a bunch of strangers that they will never meet? If i have been fooled, i honestly don't feel upset at all! Just mystified.

Yes, this is how trolling works. Attention is a really powerful motivator for humans in general, even if it's negative.

Why anyone would spend that kinda time & effort is insane.
Don't people have Netflix movies to watch? Books to read? Poker games to play in? Women to sleep with? Women to fantasize sleeping with? How about just catching up on sleep?

People are nuts.

You want to talk about metaphors, the guy said he is a fake. I believe him to be one. You want to quibble over whether his gambling or his ability to afford it is the "fake" referenced. I think it matters little whidh is the fake element.

However well done the stories.... the end will not be pretty if it has any fact base..... and the shylock loan looked genuine.

water heaters are like $400 and install with two connectors. no wonder you don't have any money.
