i dont see why flipping is bad if it's (almost) a freeroll... Seems like he undermined his own point. Doesn't negate his being the man, though.

Stinger should have kept the money, then taken pictures of him spending your $920. Shoving twenties in some strippers cooch, buying an sledge hammer from home depot, buying an Xbox 360 from best buy, then smashing the **** out of it with a sledge hammer, buying a chipotle burrito and giving it to a homeless man, then buying a nice cigar and then lighting whatever bills were leftover on fire to light his cigar.....then sent you all those pictures in an email with the caption "see why flipping is bad?"

I agree if true

Not that I know what Brian does with his money, but if I ever have a decision like this I think of the people who need money. That's the same reason I would never waste a ton of money buying flashy stuff unless I really could afford it. The day I do something like detailed in OP is the day I am a billionaire and all of my family and loved ones are rich beyond anything they could need. That's the same reason I would never tip excessively unless deserved. I'm not cheap and enjoy splurging and throwing around money to do things that I enjoy but I like to keep things in perspective as well.

Very nice gesture from stinger. Since he decided to be nice and send you back the monies, I think ìt`s ok to keep it. Hope you learned the lesson.

lol Stinger can never flip again. Everyone will expect 80% back on losses.

nh Stinger- real cool to represent CR with class. Much better than some "other" teaching sites who have people signing on as UB pros after UB ripped off so many people.

Brian,

Don't be a moron. Don't flip money imo.
