What do I do Veeky Forums? I saw it as an easy buck, I really didn't anticipate this. I feel so fucking stupid...

>Never gamble against your instincts

You are doing it wrong

Should be

>Just gamble for fun with spare money

Why did you do this? Didn't you see Brexit? The odds on Hillary were crap anyways, and you put all of this. You could have literally but half the money on Trump, and if he loses, fine, but if he wins, you would have cashed out even harder.

Why didn't you at least split your bet? Lose 9k, and with the 9k you bet on Trump you probably could have broke even, or more depending on when you placed the bet.

God you fucks depress me.

You don't gamble. You take calculated risks based upon careful consideration and the best information you can get. If you take no risks good luck ever seeing any reward, if you take no major risks then maybe you will piece together wealth in 3 generations.

If you want to be wealthy you MUST take large risks and you MUST be right. You can mitigate risk with intelligence but chaos (luck) will always be a factor so you must consider carefully what you are personally willing to risk to get what you want.

if you know what you are doing it is investing

fuck up is what you did

>You don't gamble. You take calculated risks based upon careful consideration and the best information you can get
That's gambling you retard. Gambling doesn't mean 50/50 odds, it means putting your investment up for a potential loss based on events outside of your control for the chance of a quick return.

This is actually an important less of EV. Your bet here didn't make sense.

>would've had 90k if you bet it on trump

HAHAHA, why the fuck would you risk that much for a measly 4 thousand

I recommend suicide, what an idiotic bet

>risking 18k for a 3k profit
hillary supporters, everyone

>is a student
>gambled 2/3rds of his entire life savings just to make $4,000
>gambled his life savings
>is a student
>for $4,000

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA how can someone be so fucking stupid HAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHA HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD!!!!

>I'll probably drop out now or look for aid
Try to salvage what you can this semester. Don't ever drop out but try to find a way to take a leave of absence due to financial reasons if you absolutely have to.

Honestly, it's better that he learns it now vs when he actually has money.

there were people on /pol/ doing the same shit on the night of Brexit. It sucks OP but just think of it as an expensive life lesson. When you're 70 years old 18k won't mean much to you, but you'll have lived a full life in which this painful memory had influenced many of your decisions for the better.

son, you just paid for your education, all right.

Kill yourself for doubting Trump

This

/pol/lock here made a few thousand for betting a small amount on Trump. You deserve it you cuck.

Use the rest of your money to buy waves

This is great advice. Look at this user, made a killing betting on Trump, and he had no money, he was 60k in debt, borrowed money, and cleared 250k. It looks like overnight success but he ran up debt loaning it to people and from having a failed business, so this shit isn't overnight, it takes time and you can make it.

This bet, risking 18k to get 2k, makes no sense. Not to mention, if you were going to bet 18k, why weren't you following the election like a hawk? Going on Pol, the donald, /r/politics, watching the news, etc, getting a real feel for what was happening.

You win or you learn. This time you learn, next time you win...hopefully :P.

I'm just pissed I didn't bet at all. I should have, I was all over /pol/ for months. I saw the momentum and movement first hand. I don't know shit about sports but I could have gained with this. Oh well.

Gotta admit, I'm glad I didn't bet.
I totally would have put money on Hillary too winning, by the time I even started to seriously consider it though I was too late

Was actually planning to go to /pol/ to laugh at the retards who bet all their money Trump after he lost, who I guess weren't retards after all.

I'm right there with you, hell, I was responsible for a few social media items that really damaged Hillary.

I did, truly, expect a Trump victory despite all the doomsayers bombarding us since his candidacy was announced. I've been a faithful supporter since ~feb, but I thought Trump COULD squeak out a NARROW victory...

I didn't know that he WOULD pull off an absolute shitstomping. I feel accomplished because I predicted it correctly, and for what I believe to be the right reasons, but I feel bad because I misread the magnitude of the situation and I believed that it would be on small margins. (Although in fairness I expected voter fraud to be more prevalent, then again, in all my electioneering, I hadn't met a single enthusiastic Hillary supporter in real life, so maybe her pathetic showing was the result of mostly fraud.)

What are odds on bets that Trump will build the wall out of salt extracted from liberal tears? We've got more than enough to encase the coastline of the entire US at this point.

>M A G A
>A

Ok I will admit I was pulling everyone's legs here. That's not me in the OP I got it from a /pol/ thread during the election m. Great advice anyways guys

Sorry op that sucks.

Never gamble again. No such thing as a sure thing in gambling.

you shoulda bought TrumpCoin instead, at least double your money. Recoup your losses by buying more for the inauguration pump

whats the point of betting to break even. what kind of stupid shit is that

Are you me?

satoshidice?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA I remember that thread you complete moron

>you would have had $100k if you bet on Trump, but this is the fate you chose

I put £5 on ferret races at the town hall what you gonna do about it

You should off yourself

Live and learn. You may have lost 2/3 of your savings but at least there's always the chance you can make it back somehow.

This is a photoshop. The real picture bet on Trump.

>This bet, risking 18k to get 2k, makes no sense
u shud educate yourself on casinos

Not in 2008 and 2012

user betting is best done in situations where everyone else is wrong.

>user betting is best done in situations where everyone else is wrong.
Oh right you were that everyone else. Rip.

Hahahahahahahahaha

[spoiler]HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA[/spoiler]

Even at the end I only figured it was a 50/50, but clearly that meant I should have bet on Trump given the existing betting odds.

Sadly, no such bets possible in Spain. :(

Anyway, I honestly cannot understand what people were thinking when making a Hillary bet for +15% profit if win and 100% loss if lose.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I did the same thing but only lost $4k. I feel like a retard but seeing the shit show of the past few days unfold has more than made up for it.

>when he actually has money.
like never?

Not strictly. Starting a business is a risk but with good planning and execution is isn't a gamble.

>tfw I was so confident in a Trump victory I sold half my guns and put the money on Trump two days after the pussy video
Lmao'ing at your life kid, I made 57,000 dollars off you low energy cucks.

>Wakemeup.jpeg

>Opens himself for 100% risk
>To make less than a 20% return

Honestly if you were this much of a stupid faggot you could have bet on options and earnings this week and made 10x as much with the same risk profile.

...

ALWAYS bet on Trump

I did a $300 bet on predict it. Won 1k. Coulda bet more, but it wasn't worth the risk. Happy with my winnings using throwaway money. Goning buy a nice gun thanks to Hillarycucks.

KEK

You are a flailing retard. How could you actually believe she'd win? Do you live in Seattle or something?

oh man... I voted for Trump, but I still feel for you... poor Veeky Forumstard

mmmmhmmmmmm, damn right Jerome.

Just be thankful you finally learned about
risk Vs reward.

Sadly for you, it was lot later than any normal person, but not everyone can be at or above average IQ.
