Also there's nothing thrilling about surprising your girlfriend with the cabin you bought. That'd probably only creep her out because cabins are scary. Buy a house boat though, and boy howdy that's a real treat to show off.


He'll show her a great time out on the high lakes.

Think about it. She’s out in the middle of nowhere with some dude she barely knows. She looks around her, what does she see? Nothing but open ocean. “Oh, there’s nowhere for me to run, what am I gonna do, say no?”

I think it's a reference to one of the stage dancers loving up at last year's half-time show. I'm pretty sure that person got fired and probably won't show up to this super bowel. OP, please keep making more frivolous bets to save money

Presumably OP made the bet on bovada which is currently offering that as a prop paying out 10 to 1. So hopefully he is going to make like 10k once left shark shows up.

I budget $300 each year for gambling. I typically spend $100 on baseball season prop bets, a $100 during the NFL season and then the last $100 on the Super Bowl. Last year I won big and came out about $500 ahead. This year I'm only up $50 and will probably lose it all during the Super Bowl but whatever its all good fun. I love the crazy NFL prop bets. Got some money on Lady Gaga national anthem going over 2 minutes too. But my big money is on Left Shark, that guy is awesome.

Well Bovada isn't exactly legal, so I am guessing he is not planning on filing the massive amounts of money he is going to win from Lady Gaga and Left Shark.

He still needs to report it, especially once they submit the W-2g to the IRS. And he can deduct his losses up to gambling winnings on the schedule A. And he'll be itemizing since the loan securing his houseboat is deductible.

Since when are personal loans deductible? He can't get a houseboat loan.

From what I guess people thought it was funny that the shark was very uncoordinated. I don't find it that funny either.

NancyPants you are going to be the first person I invite on board when I make this happen. You've been on my rear end about how stupid this is from day one! Also I'd like to point out to you that I didnt mess up my personal business tax I've saved that knowing I would owe and/or payed it quarterly to the state. The only tax thing messed up was my withholding from my day job.

Still I think I'm going to just let this thread fade away. It'll be months until I have news one way or the other. I've got two months left to find a boat or a new apartment. Maybe by then I'll get a different loan rate or come into some money or just get lucky and find a good cheap boat with a willing seller. Who knows, the sea works in mysterious ways.

This thread got me researching some boat living, and I very much like to give it try. By renting one for a week, in the summer, at some scenic location.

I can get one through Airbnb for like $80/night. That is of course just to stay, not drive it around lake/river

Cut the ropes at night, overwhelm the crew, and the boat is yours to sail! You'll also probably be able to get your $80 back when you make the owner walk the plank.

Left shark making an appearance is a 15:1 bet. Hey BaseballPCHiker I was playing video lottery last night and won $210 off of $10 so maybe you should cross state lines and partake in South Dakota's VLC and/or pull tabs since you'll get more out of your burnt cash.

Sure, sure, he was kidding. He isn't really banking on that money, just having a reasonable bit of fun, and being tongue-in-cheek about it. Meanwhile, his serious plans include getting a fraudulent personal loan to buy a house boat on a river in Minnesota so he has somewhere to live when his self-inflicted eviction comes through.
