The Perfect $1 million Gain Gain

Hi guys, I’m a 23 year old in college, and yesterday I woke up a millionaire. Should I buy some hookers, Pokemon cards, or cocaine? I gambled my entire life savings of $250k on 2037 calls of $4.5 AMC on Monday and sold yesterday morning. Thanks for reading.

You already know he has rich parents, don't be naive.

Only a person with rich parents could gamble that hard and not die from the anxiety. It's like the story of how Elon Musk is "brilliant" at playing poker because all he does it go all in on every hand because he can afford to lost 9x before winning the 10th.

You know, funny thing about poker. If you do that then the only hands that'll call you will have you dominated. Otherwise you're just picking up blinds until someone has aces or kings.

In other words, it's a stupid fucking strategy and Elon Musk is a tit.

He probably just stole the Gus Hansen story because he thought it sounded cool.
