$8,000 on the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup in 2011, and $29,000 during January 2012 during the NFL playoffs, but the $29,000 took a big hit during the NBA playoffs.

Found 300 bucks at Dennys, turned it in to the front attendant, place was empty it was like 6 am and I had just got off from my night shift job.. she took the and didn't say shyt, I called and reported her ass because she seemed grimy for that and I picked it up on camera and gave it to her on camera. Turns out she didn't tell anyone about it, so she had stolen it...Turns out I got the bytch fired, homeboy used to work there and he told me she was fired

On many occasions i get between 50$-100$ tip, this always make my day
JUST A 20 SPOT ON MANY DIFFERENT CASES. I DON'T REMEMBER FINDING MORE THAN THAT AT ONCE. I DON'T GAMBLE SO NO WINNINGS.
My broke ass uncle won $2 million on a scratch off for Christmas given to him by his broke ass sister as a cheap Christmas gift. That was about 15 years ago. I think he was back to broke and working 60 hour weeks in a factory again within 5 years.
I'm a cheap dude, but I have a lot of money. I still shop at the 99 Cents Only store for a lot of stuff. I saw $3 sitting on top of the baby wipes the other day. I know I've grown up because I would have taken that back in the day, even if it's not shyt. Now, my grown up rich brain was thinking, damn, someone else needs that.

This year, I bought a $400 phone online and the retailer forgot to charge me so I guess that counts.
More importantly though, a few years back, I made a random $200 stock option bet on Heinz (ticker: HNZ). A couple weeks/months later, Warren Buffet's company made an offer and bought out the company. They paid a premium for the stock and my $200 bet turned into $28,000 overnight. I remember shaking and wondering if I should quit my job at the time (was close to a year's salary at the time).
Funny story, it turns out that this chick I recently started fukking with was working for Heinz at the time and got laid off due to the buyout. Really puts things in perspective...

1. Congratulations
2. Can I get a link to that phone?
3. Did you short it or did you bet $200 that it would go up a certain amount? You got off Lucky. Had it gone the other way you wouldve been stuck with the $28,000 bill probably
Thanks
It is the Alcatel Idol 4S. Here is the link here
Options actually work the opposite way. Whenever you make one-sided directional bets, if your profits are theoretically unlimited, then your losses are capped. If your profits are capped, then your losses are theoretically unlimited (until a stock goes to $0).
Prips.
I gotta brush up on my trading skills as I remember options working a bit differently....especially on the shorting end
You are correct still though. I didn't go short calls, I went long on some Calls.
Long Calls = Profits are theoretically unlimited, and your losses are capped at your initial investment.
Long Puts = Profits are theoretically unlimited (until a stock goes to $0), and your losses are capped at your initial investment.
Short Calls = Your profits are capped, and your losses are theoretically unlimited
Short Puts = Your profits are capped, and your losses are theoretically unlimited (until a stock goes to $0)
