    Usually I always bet on green at the roulette tables in Vegas or Macau. This time I bet the wasabi farm on Risktaker's humanitarian private banking services. Best way to lose all your money by far. I highly recommend him. So what do you guys do to lose heaps of money? LOL

    This one time, my partner, Mortimer, bet me a dollar that we could take any schlub of my choosing off the street and replace our top trader with him. I took that bet. Turns out, our trader didn't like being put in the poor house, and the homeless guy was a lot smarter than we thought. They tricked us, through a phony Florida orange harvest report, into betting the farm on frozen orange juice concentrate futures.

    I lost my fortune, but I won that dollar from Mortimer.

    When I was 19 I loaned $350 to a friend to help him buy a car. A 1985 Peugeot 505 4 door sedan riding on cut springs and with a straight through exhaust.

    Shockingly I lost 100% of my investment!!! I did learn a lot about why Peugeot left the US market though.

    I bet big money on cytokine inhibitors. I lost everything because the FDA called my product ''backwards and moraly outrageous''. I cant figure out why. :(

    Gold and Girls. Both in the '80's.

    The divorces cost me NOTHING.

    The marriages cost me EVERYTHING.

    No Joke. :(

    I did High Yield Private Banking. It was supposed to net me a 94% profit each month. Instead, some shyster took 94% each month of the 100% I gave him. I can't figure out how it all went wrong...
