[QUOTE=mickeycrimm;151687][QUOTE=redietz;151658]I happen to know a couple hard core gambling degenerates. Both of these guys collect SDI due to being “disabled”.
On multiple occasions, they were contacted by the Social Security Administration about their W2G wins. They were told they shouldn’t be gambling if they are being paid by the government. Now, I’m not exactly sure if SS can restrict you from gambling if you are collecting SDI. But what they can do is garnish your wages for any wins above your monthly amount you receive from SSI.
Both of these guys earn money from other sources, this is how they can afford to degen it hardcore style.
They both collected numerous W2G’s and had a percentage of their wages garnished by SSA to collect the amount that was won.
So be careful if you are on permanent disability and may be at risk for a W2G!
Now these 2 guys always make sure they have someone around. They usually gamble together. They pay a friend $80 ($40 each) to drive both of these buffoons 1.5 to 2 hours to the Indian Casino. The guy that drives them is available to take their place on a W2G win. They do 20% of the win. Anything over $3k they do 10%.
Both of these guys usually take $1k to $1.5k in cash to the casino. They will play until all money is gone. So usually every other time that they go up there, 1 of the 2 guys will hit a W2G. About 5k lost every 2 trips. It is also not common for these guys to get W2G’s and give all that back as well!
The driver that gets the $80 will play that at a near by machine. If any W2G is hit by his friends, he will Degen his 20% away.
How did I meet these characters? One day the driver left one of these guys up there, after more than 24 hours of straight degening it up. I was Chatting with him at the bar, got to know the situation and ended up giving him a ride back to his house, as we lived in the same city. I Kept seeing him up there after that. Since then we became friendly/social. To much +EV in my life is not good!! I need some -EV Characters in my life to keep everything balanced out!
