Dumb Niners Fan on reddit puts all his money on niners parlay bet with bengals

224k in winnings on a 65k bet? So he will be taxed on 159k of income and assuming he makes 81k a year (which is likely a given since he saved up 65k to gamble with) he will pay appx 43% tax on it so his 159k winnings turns into 90.63k.  Not exactly enough to buy a place in "The bay area" and PSLs for the new SF stadium.  

 

Just dumb.

I'm so pumped for this. ALL of my friends are fuggin niner fans. They are everywhere here on the west coast since they started winning.

The Seahawks/Niners bandwagon fans could be the worst I've ever seen.

If we win, I will probably lose some friends and get in some fights at candlestick. I don't even care.

But if we lose I'm hiding and drinking myself to death.

There are bets, there are dumb bets, then there is this bet.

 

Even if you have enough faith in the 49ers to take them -6 over the Panthers (who should not lose by more than 6 if we do lose given our defense...) your 2nd action is on the Bengals / Ravens?  The Bengals might come out and rip the Ravens a new one but there's an equal chance they come out flat and get stomped.  I don't get it.

 

I keep looking at it hoping, for that guy's sake, it's fake.

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
