1st the bad:
Atrocious live 3k Bears ML bet followed by 2 even worse Jets pregame bets. (down 20k)

Now the ugly:
Might as well chase that 20k with Jets alt. 2H parlay (+14.5/o46.5) Just needed Jets to score 11 points once ARI scored 7 but of course they get shutout. (lose 23.4k)

At this point I'm down to $6658 from 50k & already in the process of transferring $94,020 from my HYSA to Citi to reload & restart with 100k (already transferred 50k, the rest tmrw)

Now the lucky: (ALL IN parlay)

Just a little more context: had 0 intention of trying to win this back until I saw the Lions were down big. Was this close 👌 to placing this alt. 2H parlay but was worried about the total in case the Lions shut them out in the 2H (which shockingly happened). Instead I just randomly threw in the hockey live bet to get the payout to over 50k down 3-1 with 6 minutes left. Luckily CLB cut it to 3-2 so the ANA empty netter kept it a winner.

Here was the truly scary part. Watched the Lions game until they tied it at 23 & then turned it off & waited for the result. Cashout was decent at that point (23.8k) with HOU driving for a GW FG.

Figured I was fucked at that point but it was either win & have 52.2k or lose & reload 100k: nothing in between. Obv I lucked out big time yet again (like with the Jets beating the Texans on TNF), transferred that 50k back to my HYSA, but anybody saying it's just a matter of time before I lose everything doing this dumb shit over & over: I most certainly don't blame you. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Gotta play big to win big - sometimes you lose - but a sharp gambler always finds a way to recover.

Congrats on the win - I’ve been on some roller coaster rides in Sundays but nothing like this. Key of course is worst case you could have walked away from it with a positive balance in your bank account and played Monday on the books money - only difference is now you can do it with an extra $2200 of their money:

Your DK host has got to love watching your account - hopefully they are taking good care of you.

Dougy isn’t great you’re not on a graveyard shift right about now. How do you sleep these days ? High stakes gambling for me hindered that for sure it sucked.

Definitely a bit of an adjustment being home all the time but I have 0 desire to ever go back to work (esp security). A lot easier to 😴 after recovery bets like these.

He’s won nearly a quarter of a million dollars this year gambling. That’s a problem I would like to have.

Not quite that much jerky: around 210k combined
DK: 104.6k
FD: 105.3k

Thanks dj..the whole key for me was WD a lot in order to feel relatively secure going ALL IN this much knowing I could always reload. Without that safety net, I'd never be taking these shots. These were 3 other AII IN parlays that if they didn't hit, I'd be in a bad way right about now. Would've obv reloaded if they lost, but I just know that would eventually lead to losing everything.

DK host offered some sports outing perks (Jets box seats for DEN game, US Open hitting session with Andre Agassi that I regretfully turned down at the time) but I'm not being moved up to ONYX (invite only) for whatever reason even though I had the 175k Tier Credits for a while now.

Likely because you have won money from them.

DK loves big bettors - right up until they win a 2nd or 3rd time.

I ran quite a bit through them on scalps and they loved me - right up until when I started winning on them and suddenly the text from my host stopped. They at least gave me some decent promos and reup bonuses - but even those stopped this NFL season and I have zero use for them. Pissed me off on that $100 soccer wager they mis-graded and refused to correct and now with the whole tax reporting thing set to take effect soon.

Of course my wager size was a 10th of yours. They should be doing something for any bettor - win or lose who generates that kind of volume at their markups.
