WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO TAKE A FLYER LIKE THAT??????

Recent lottery winners? Crypto millionaires? Drug fueled maniacs? Without being in any way disrespectful, someone with a serious mental incapacity but lots of money and a gambling problem?

I am a bit of gambler and risk taker by nature, and have participated in breaks at times, but sometimes you have to step back and reconsider. I'd be despondent blowing that kind of money with basically nothing to show for it. For that kind of money he could have bough a real nice heavily desired card and sat on it. Or a car.

It’s gamblers. My friends who were previously only sports gamblers shifted into cards during the pandemic and have put insane amounts of cash into breaks.
