What's The Biggest Risk You Ever Took?

Mine was starting this thread.
Seriously, I have taken a lot of risk. The one I will tell is.. This was in my mid 20s.. I had a bankroll of about $2300 from over 6 or 7 years of winnings playing cards (mostly poker).
One night I decided I was going to put $2000 on black. Did it.. BOOM! Hit. Normally I bounce when I am up (after all, you continuing to play is where casinos get you right?). Well I had been drinking and I was talked into putting $4000 on red. After I hit black the first time, black hit again (I wasn't playing). Knowing that has nothing to do with the next spin I still let someone convince me that the next spin had to hit red... Well.. It didn't.

It sure as shite sounds like it huh?
The thing is.. I was leaving the table.. And that person was like "Look! It just hit black again! You could leave with $8000 instead of $4000. If it doesn't hit you are losing winnings anyway. You scared?".
Then I got all "scared? what the frick I got to be scared of?". And did it.

Not me.
I hit up the small money players who didn't want to lose too much money so they played conservative and you know what they were holding..

We are moving to a new state in 3 weeks , with only one of us employed. Up and leaving. No family there or anything. And we can't wait.

Now that's a risk. What was the motivation to move?

Not writing my crimes down in a public forum

Not wanting to raise our child in this shithole city.

Letting a few people here into my life.

It'll work out. I did that when we moved here. No jobs, nothing. Everything is opportunity

Good luck to y'all HC. Wife and I with a small child did the same thing years ago and it worked out well. No regrets.
It will work out for you too.
It will work out for you too.

It will. We are at a point in our lives where it works perfectly. Can't wait for the new adventure and for my son to grow up somewhere nice.
