Man looses life savings on carnival game

Total lozer, comes to mind, as well as the fool one.... :rolleyes:

No, surprise that $2,600 was all he had, probably P**** the rest away on horse racing?

Once he lost $300 he should have thought, maybe l should go home have a cold shower, or go sit in a cool pub, and carefully think it through, not, l will show them, or l will get my $300 back, getting emotional is the biggest no-no when you gamble.

At worst he should have taken $300 or $500 tops and tried, again, then said, it is too risky to keep going, etc. I will stop there, unless he wanted to go to court?


Falls back to the old issue that $2,600 eventhough nice, doesn't change your financial outlook, in any real way, unless you pour it into some internet business, and get lucky, there isn't a lot you can do.

So he figures, l will p*** this away on something nice?


This sort of crap happens in AU all the time, the average Australian retires on a lump sum of roughly $120,000, average female, $50-60,000.

And the majority, knowing that the interest isn't as much as the pension, and it will adversely affect what pension amount they can get, spend it all.

Or they spend it on a luxury holiday or new 4 wheel drive or money for their kids, etc. Then go on the pension.

Or they invest it into a con condo setup, and lose it that way.


least this guy got a giant banana?

Must be worth at least $30?
