Man loses life savings on carnival game.. Big dummy edition

isnt there a video of your mom yelling at you to get your $2600 shoes out of her hallway though?

 

How many times does he even have to try to spend all of that money?

 

If the circumstances were different I feel most of the people in this thread wouldn't poke fun at his misfortune. Like if he was held up at gun point and forced to give up his atm and pin#. Losing $2600 life savings in that scenario would garner sympathy, and understanding of the plight some people face today. However, when they read the headline that he lost it playing carnival games, rigged or not just to win an xbox kinect then the gloves come off.

If you are struggling and that truly is all your worth why would you even do something like that? The man lost 3bills, left to get the rest of his life savings and come back to the carnival. Maybe there is a reason he only has $2600 in life savings. If life was so hard for him, then maybe he would, at the very least have $2300 savings instead of $0.

I just saw the vid, and homeboy has a child. I feel bad for that kid, as a father you have to make sound choices. He should have took $300 L and not returned, he is reach douche bag for that.

 

These games are a gamble, obviously. Ever play blackjack with a gambling addict when they are losing? It gets to the point where it's not about the money at all, it's about the "competition" and it gets personal. This dude didn't drop his life savings to win a Kinect, he dropped his life savings trying to not be a loser.

 

And that's why you live in a closet.

 

Rent stabilization abuse at its finest.

But hey don't hate the player hate the game.

 

Well, if this man is debt-free, he's probably doing better than anyone with student debt

 

I just want to know. WHO came up with the idea of a large banana Rasta?

 

wish i had $2600

 

I can't even lie.. I dropped 40$ on this exact game in Seaside during my after prom senior year.. They had a black Falcons Deion Sanders jersey I wanted soo bad and being under the influence did not help. How they got me is the dude who works it literally takes your hand and shoots it practically for you during practice rounds and it goes in every time, showing you how easy it is and once I'm up there I botch every one. Atleast it wasn't my life savings..

 

Someone please explain this game.

I must know.

 

Can't lie. I want that RastaMonster mascot in my possession.

 

don't worry. i think it's clear what your point was.

dude just felt some kind of way about it i guess....but i didn't get the feeling you were trying to humble brag.

and man i have no sympathy for this dude......

if he went to get 2300 for this game...that wasn't his life savings. dude is just talking.

if it is he shouldn't have children. seriously. that's just incredibly irresponsible.

 

slurrrrrrrrrrrrrpp

 

I didnt get that from your post at all.
