- If you don't know, this guy was a referee who got busted by the FBI for betting on games
- He said the Mob were making millions of dollars piggybacking off of his bets
- However, he was only winning about $2000 for every game he won a bet on
- He said he was making $400k a year working as an NBA referee
- And that he only made total $50k from all of his bets on NBA games


So imagine, dude had a great salary, great pension, very respectable job. But lost it all so he could be a "high stakes high roller" gambler :deadrose: :dead:
Somehow being a criminal is thought to be a "more exciting" type of life
The money he won was not even close to what he was getting in salary

Somehow being a "Boring" guy who can provide for his family was not enough. It's never a bad thing to be "boring". To have a family, work a 9-5, vacation here and there, and retire at 70. Fast money always turns into Slow money. It ALWAYS does. He says he sees his colleagues still reffing games into their 50s and 60s and wishes he were them

"Boring" people always live longer and make more money in the long run

Without clicking on the video, low self esteem and insecurity is a bad combo that makes people do crazy shyt. Gotta have a strong mind. Theyll parade and promote around losers and trash trying to trick people to be that

And as an adult, at some point you have to stop worrying about being "cool" if you want to elevate in life. Its called maturity. Dont frown down on it. The smart move may not be the coolest. Looking for validation and approval from others who are still stuck worrying about being cool and all this wack shyt is useless.

Get rich or die trying.

A lot of people don’t want to just live a regular, normal, middle class type life. Most people really don’t, but people usually just settle in the middle as to not risk ending up in the bottom tier of society.

But plenty of people are willing to risk it to get to that top level and the high life. So crime makes sense for anyone actually; it’s why I understand when middle class kids sell drugs instead of just doing school and getting a corporate job. I can see the mentality.
