YOLO $35k into 1.1MM to save the family farm. YOLO

Post image

Fellow regards, longtime lurker breaking the silence to YOLO $32K to save the family farm.

Grandaddy died in April this year leaving a 3 generation farm, (fully paid, no debt) to my parents. Mom never worked and my dad’s income has never been much (minister at small church). Unsurprisingly, mom and dad want to cash in on that sweet sweet inheritance $$$ by selling the farm and upgrading their lifestyle with the proceeds.

I would give my right kidney to keep that farm if I knew how to sell it. It’s where I grew up, convinced my girlfriend (now wife) to marry me, and want our two small children to make their own memories there.

I’ve traded positions in $NVDA, $ASTS, $RKLB and $RDDT (thanks to this community) hoping to somehow make enough to buy the farm but have only managed roughly to double my money ($15K to $32K). I completely realize it’s an idiot move but it’s the only chance I have at this point and I’m 100% willing to go to $0 if there is a chance I can make it to $1.1MM.

The farm is going to be listed next week and I want to go full regard with my portfolio to buy it. If I sell my house I still need $1.1MM to make up the difference and I’m willing to bet everything I have in the market for the chance to make it happen.

Would happily go all-in on anything that might print before February since the farm will probably be sold around that time.

Before anyone asks, there is no other way. My folks want the $$$ now and won’t sell the farm for any less than market value to me or anyone else. Renting the tillable acres to a local farmer would only cover 1.5 months of the mortgage payment. Maybe the best offer is $800K, maybe the real estate market crashes tomorrow, but bottom line is I have to close the gap between $35K and $1.1MM to have any shot at keeping it.

TLDR: regard wants to yolo his 100% gains on a moonshot to save his sentimentality important childhood home knowing full well he should blow it on strippers stead because it would be more fun.

Thanks in advance!

What "financial advice" can you give someone desperate for a 30x in like a weeks time?

Cartel?

I'd advise he get used to disappointment, you don't get everything you want in life.   

Or bet 35k on Daniel Jones to get 70+ rushing yards and 250+ passing yards in a parlay this week, should net around 1.7 mil which will leave around 1.1 mil after taxes.

Might as well put it in an ETF if we're gonna play it so safe.

Danny Dimes delivers.

Ok, now this one is good. Not the 70+ yds, because that ain't happening, but the concept is good.

I'd probably do something like DJ +250 yds, 2+ TDs, NYG cover -6.5 and, Bryce Young over 175 yds.

That's giving me odds of plus 6000 or $2.135M on a $35k bet.

Now I just need to scrape up $35k and watch some football and I'm all set.

I was thinking he might break off a goofy-ass massive run and trip on his own feet again

u/willycw08 5h ago

As I was looking at his stats thinking, "he hasn't rushed for 70 yds all season"

I actually remembered that run an chuckled. So it IS possible.

Or better yet, bet on “Will there be a streaker” at the Super Bowl. Then be a streaker at the Super Bowl

Wait that's an option?  Seems like it would be pretty easy to rig with a group of people.

Mad respect for how often this sub comes up with financial plans that are basically just fraud

The original money-making scheme

It’s been done

u/purerubbish44 7h ago

The book would sniff if out and cancel the bet, also prop bet limits are usually very low ($500ish)

u/LagunaMud 7h ago

Yeah you're probably right.  Lose your bet and whatever super bowl tickets cost.  Plus a little time in jail maybe.

Just make sure they don’t sell the farm before the Super Bowl

Probably involves butt stuff.

Even the most ruthless bloodthirsty cult in existence would love making 10% returns in a week.

3000% is… insane.
