I honestly think it's highly unlikely that Berger has half a mill to bet on a football game. He would have to have had amazing investments to have that much to blow.
Well thats a funny thing to say when youre the one with no evidence of him picking up a bet slip thats not his
I'm making the most logical and sensibly assumption: He's not worth that kind of money so he wont be gambling w that kind of money
You have no idea what hes worth. You just know the income hes received from the UFC. If you're going to assume he found a ticket and picked it up, why cant I assume hes a trust fund baby. There are plenty of variables, but you seem very stuck on the conclusion you've come to.
I'm not... I actually think its more likely he knows someone who made the bet and he took a picture of it. But at least you admit your assumptions are much more far fetched than mine lol
I never admitted that? I think its kind of silly you refuse to acknowledge everything i'm saying as a possibility, actually. Thats all i'm really acknowledging
Occam's razor. The explanation with the least assumptions trumps. For instance, if you left your pen on your desk, went to pee, and came back to see it on the floor, what's more likely?
Thats a little easier to assume than Ellenberger picking up a ticket off the ground as common sense, but ok
It's easier to assume that he invested his disposable income into great investments then went and bet a VERY large sum on a football game, without any evidence of said investments or proof that he even gambles to begin with, rather than he found a losing ticket on the floor or that the ticket wasn't his? okay...
Why do you keep talking about proof when you have literally none to back what you are saying? Its like its impossible for you to see past what hes made in the UFC and all doors to further revenue are completely dismissed lol
The whole point of this conversation is that you're making grand assumptions. You even brought up the idea of him being a trust fund child. Why don't you go ahead and assume he won the lottery while you're at it?
The assumptions i'm making are pretty damn reasonable. These guys don't have pensions, 401k, healthcare. You hear every media member known to man say these guys have to make their money work for them and not rely solely on UFC income or go on Cowboy Cerrone spending sprees. Not to mention, the 2.5m Jake has made in the UFC is only whats disclosed.
The assumption that he invests his money for the future bc of what you just said, but then he goes and places a giant bet is illogical and incosistent. If you don't see how or why that is, then IDK what to tell you. I really can't spoon feed it any more than I already have. Unless he is worth upwards of 10 M, gambling $460,000 is a huge chunk of money. And don't try and ignore the scenario that he posted the picture of someone else's ticket. I literally just posted a picture of a ticket that I found on the casino floor like 2 posts above. And that was a winning ticket (worth $50 dollars more than the one he posted). I've found other tickets upwards of $10,000 being discarded after a loss, also, so it's not unlikely to happen.
Its illogical and inconsistent to you, someone who literally knows nothing about his finances. Whos to say he doesn't make bank from betting? But apparently thats a crazy assumption, and yours aren't. Idk man, too much bullshit about this. If you really are so sure of yourself that what youre saying is true and everything else can't be possible, than thats that. Ive talked about Ellenberger's finances enough for a day lol
LOL because you have no proof that he gambles to begin with, let alone "making bank" through gambling. This is what I mean by you making grand assumptions. They literally have no foundation and its equivalent to you spouting the first thing that comes into your mind without thinking about how likely it may be. If he were making so much bank gambling, why would he ONLY post his big loser? How much money do you think this guy is worth where he can go around gambling $460,000? I can agree w/ that dude who posted earlier saying he could be betting with a group of 10 guys or something of that nature, that makes a lot more sense than he's somehow increased his net worth by 10x and decided to gamble about half a million on a football game. BUT, I do stay firm in my stance that he probably doesn't have anything to do w/ that ticket. He is more likely to have found it or knows someone who bet that much and just took a picture of it himself. It's easy to poke fun at losing bets when it's not really yours. Look at our betting threads, how many people post pics of giant losers? hmm....
Dude you have no proof of any of what youre saying idk why you keep resorting to that line lol its assumptions either way. You assume no way he could've made the bet, i'm a little more open minded about it.
