Poker guys.

I know plenty of full time professionals but I also know people with serious gambling problems costing them mid 5 figures+ yearly.

People buying $1,000+ packs of hockey cards hoping to find the “special” one. So much wasted paper, packaging, and money, all for a 2.5” x 3.5” piece of cardboard with someone’s name and picture on it.

They can gamble with just as much voracity as the poker guys. $100,000 is not out of the question for a lot of guys.

Hell, I just saw at the coin mint, they offered a mintage of 50 x 1kg gold coins for $100k each, even though they only contain about $65k CAD worth of gold. How does one finance that? What about the other empty $35k?!

I could go on… just saw the other day, hockey cards with diamonds mounted in them. Real, lab grown diamonds, and they’re asking up to $5k. What a bunch of bullshit.
