2008 - Hit HUGE!!!! on a Chargers @ Colts Divisional playoffs - Payed off all credit cards and we had 2 great vacations that year.

Later in the summer I hit on the Celtics to win the title! Used that money to put into my Scottrade account. Its been there ever since

In 2009, Kobe Bryant and Co. bought me a PS3 and we took another trip at the end of the summer. 2010, used the (Lakers)money to pay a chunk off the car note.

2011 Devastating loss by the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals hurt really really bad. My initial investment was not what hurt, it was the largest opportunity loss of my gambling life.

Its been about a year since I won anything significant, but the goal for this season is to win enough to cover any closing costs on our upcoming housing purchase. The money I'd hope to save by my gambling earnings will go towards any repairs and whats left over a Surf and Turf dinner.

Drugs.  When Uconn won the NCAA tourny, I later purchased lots and lots of drugs with my winnings.  A problem-forming amount of drugs.

Quality Single Malt Scotch&#xD;&#xA;Golf clubs&#xD;&#xA;Laptop&#xD;&#xA;Cigars&#xD;&#xA;I&#x27;ve bought all these before, but I&#x27;m talking about serious upgrades on the above items. Something you wouldn&#x27;t ordinarily do for yourself. That&#x27;s why it feels like Xmas&#xD;&#xA;Hopefully, more than once a year......

I always bought sh*t that I normally wouldn't. It's sooo much easier to not analyze a purchase with gambling winnings then with money earned.

The dumbest purchase probably a boat after the saints won the Super Bowl. It was nothing big just a 19' bay liner for like 8 grand. The biggest waste of money ever. I barely had time to go out, storage was $100 a month and the maintenance was hell since I'm really not mechanically inclined. The Jeep never ran right after from all the towing just an overall dumb*ss purchase. I learned my lesson though just rent the f*cking thing.

Air fare from CT to AZ to visit friends. Rented a Lincoln for a week. Took the remaining 2K into that Indian Casino in Scottsdale and doubled it on a blackjack table. Drove north on I-17 to Sedona. Let Wifey and her girlfriend do some shopping. Sedona is amazing scenery. If you've never seen Sedona, make it a must on your travel list. We had planned a Grand Canyon helicopter trip but the weather wouldn't cooperate. So we ended up going to another Indian Casino and kicked behind once again on the blackjack table for $1500. Had an amazing dinner in this restaurant with a cave-like setting. Somebody help me out with the name of this place!!! Drove back down to Phoenix and it was time for the annual neighborhood block party. The neighbors waterfall pool was the bomb. Got sick as a dog on Tequila shots. Had to replace the rugs in my friends bathroom. By the time we got back to CT, still had $1K in profit. Trip of a lifetime.
