Dana thought he lost $80k one night and his advice for gamblers

[crwth]

Saying that "it's just $80K" shows that they really have all the money in the world and it's just a drop in the bucket, you know? I agree in some ways that if you get depressed, it's definitely not for you. You need to get checked because it's YOU who decided to gamble and YOU decided to risk an X amount of money. It's all part of the risk when you are gambling.

Yeah, but he is multi millionaire so he might think that he could have just spend that $80k as if nothing. But wait, it's millions when he come to his senses. Nevertheless, he knows that he can come back and win that money again as the competitive inside of Dana is fueling him to get back at the casinos. It's all goes down to our emotions and control of ourselves. If by every emotions we feel, our reaction is to gamble, then yes definitely it's not for us. But for those people like Dana who has a lot of money to burn and then at the same time believes that they can recoup everything because that is their motivation, then most likely money is not going to be a concern for this individuals but the determination to recapture their losses and win some.

Dana is a professional Blackjack player. He usually won millions of dollar in a casino that’s why he is confident for that amount because he knew that he can recover it when he play in full capacity since he admit defeat due to his drunk state while playing that time.

Besides of having a huge bankroll, He is confident to his skills that he can recover it easily through playing again or through his salary from UFC.

He is a god of Blackjack for me. He probably have a good sense of predicting possible cards through the use of different version of card count.

However, it is not just $80k that he has lost. Uncle Dana lost $3 million American dollars of his own money! If you watched the video, he drank too much alcohol and he cannot control himself. This also appears to have caused why he thought he only lost just $80k heheheeh. The alcohol caused him to forget $2.92 million hehe.

It also appears that uncle Dana has a problem with alcohol. He might also have forgotten his power slap on his wife's face after looking at her with a very red face next morning.



UFC president Dana White admitted on Monday to slapping his wife on New Year's Eve.

White acknowledged the incident while speaking with TMZ after video surfaced of White slapping a woman in the face. In the video obtained by TMZ, White is seen at a night club standing with a woman on a balcony. The woman is seen with her head in her hands before turning to slap White in the face. White then slaps the woman in the face before the situation appears to settle. The footage cuts off a few moments later.

He was interviewed on Lex Fridman's channel just today. Funny how he thought it was just $80K but it's actually $3M. Rich men lose more when they get drunk playing blackjack.

seriously "thought it was JUST 80k$" 

this would be my Life savings mate but for them this is just nothing but a piece of cake and that is what you can see in their Eyes and how they are talking .

He advises about winning and losing in gambling and if you get depressed because of it, gambling is not for you. He meant winning and losing are part of the game where great things and bad things happen.

that is a cool advise from a person that have just lose 3 million dollars without him not knowing and yeah if this is someone that is not that riches than them? for sure they will even commit suicide after knowing this mistake.

One mistake I can point out from this picture is mixing gambling with alcohol, this is the worst combination for success and hope non of us fall into this trap!!

Btw, I like this interview and the honestly of this guy as this shows gambling is not really about having fun but primarily making some extra money on what you have regardless of one's financial status.

He advises about winning and losing in gambling and if you get depressed because of it, gambling is not for you. He meant winning and losing are part of the game where great things and bad things happen.

I wonder when does the depression kick in, when you calculate how much is lost or when you chasing your losses and you aren't winning  

Btw, do winning gamblers ever feel depressed or this is only for losers

It makes sense when you have such an abundance of money that $80,000 doesn't seem like a big deal. This video demonstrates how careless some rich people can become with their money when alcohol and possibly drugs are involved. This can also apply to anyone else, except we don't have three million dollars to lose. But the sure thing is that this combination is bound to make you lose money; it's practically making you dumber by impairing your ability to think straight, which often results in taking unnecessary risks you otherwise wouldn't take. It may not happen every time, but it'll eventually happen.

It makes sense when you have such an abundance of money that $80,000 doesn't seem like a big deal.

It is a big deal, not a huge one but a big deal indeed.

I just looked it up and according to Wikipedia he has a net worth of $500 million, so he can afford to lose that $3 million, although it is 6% of his total net worth and it must have hurt. Imagine your net worth is $100,000 and going in drunk, you thought you lost $160 when you actually lost $6,000, something like that.

Really that impossible that they cant really be able to think off well specially if its a percentage of your overall networth and making up those huge bets does really shows that you dont have that control
but this is actually something not that shocking when it comes to this because people would really be that trying out to go past beyond their limits specially if they do have that kind of approach on things that they could actually be able to win up the next bet. Once you do have that kind of mindset then you would really be pushing up yourself on trying to attain it.

When it comes to loses in gambling then it is something that could be sky on the limit, no matter how rich or wealthy you are on which damage could really be something significant
on which no matter how rich you are, you would really be able to feel up the pain.

Let's not talk about the numbers here, it's only a big deal if he feels it's a big deal for him. And also, we don't know what is history in gambling, what if Dana despite being reach have won a lot of money in gambling prior to that lost, so he won't feel the pain or anything.. We easily react and we know part of the story yet, but if we compared that to our lives, of course it's a real big deal as we don't have that kind of money.

Everyone basically know this but the problem is that most people like to win more than they like to lose and as such they cannot understand clearly that if they cannot withstand loses then it is much better for them to stop gambling as if they continue accumulated sadness can transform into depression making things much worse for them.

As for millionaires I never understand why they need to gamble in the first place.

For someone that has a net worth of $500 million, $80,000 doesn't sound like a big deal to me, and probably neither to him. $3 million however, is a considerably large amount of money, even for someone with that kind of net worth. Still, it's not like he'll spiral into a depression for the lost money, it's not someone who won't quickly recoup his losses or who's not making ends meet by any means.

Well, for someone with his net worth, it's quite reasonable to not feel like a big deal to him. On the other hand, you're right, someone else, even as wealthy could possibly make it a big deal because that doesn't negate the fact that it's still a huge amount of money. Anyway, these are amounts that we'll possibly never see in our lives, and on the one hand, that's okay, you don't need huge amounts of money in order to be happy.

[peter0425]

This person is a literal gambler and yeah  he may not see this coming that he have to lose 3 millions instead of 800k but this is something that he can recover in short time because Dana is a big time gambler and yes have been losing and winning millions each time and like what he says if you cannot accept losing then you should not gamble .

Actually, Dana only bet 80k dollars but the alcohol has made the bet to 3 million dollars. This is absolutely crazy. Dana says alcohol is free but someone could take advantage of it. That's an absolutely insane amount. Dana lost more than 25x the intended bet. This is a lesson for everyone not to get drunk when playing cards. You can't enjoy the game if you are drunk.

3 million dollars is a big money. The money should be used to pay some of the elite fighters at UFC Fight week.  

[bbc.reporter]

@Rampagoe004. However, similar to what @Cointrader has mentioned, uncle Dana is a professional blackjack player. He earned the millions that he lost on the blackjack games he has played. This is not something similar to someone who took money from his company to lose everything in the casino hehehehe. If he is very good in blackjack, we can also be quite certain that he has earned back the money and earned more after this. You reckon he should support and donate to fighters from his blackjack earnings hehehehe?

Totally not shocking that there are really indeed people who are presuming that this is really actually happening on which they would really be mixing up his own personal funds and company funds and assuming that the funds that been used into his gambling session or activity do came from the company on which it isnt really just right to make out some conclusions. We dont know about his history in gambling plus
what if he do make use only his personal money or came from his own wallet? People are really that love to judge directly and telling or saying that asking to donate into this and that. loool

As for the advise then its pretty basic on which it would really be just that normal that you should really be that only making use of the amount which you can afford to lose.
Dont make yourself go beyond limits when it comes to spending because it will really be just that messing up your life totally if you wont really be
that responsible into the actions that you are making.

That's a separate budget, Dana's money is his personal, I think  he also have money from the company he is managing and that is when promoting games in UFC. 3 million is big but with his capacity, he can afford to lose that amount, good thing not more than because he was drunk and he could have lose more. I don't know if he regrets his losses, but if he is a gambler, it's not the first time for him to lose that amount and I am also thinking maybe he won a bigger than that also as a gambler.

He lose money and he makes money, as long as he makes more than he lose, regardless on the source of income, he'll be fine. After all, he wouldn't be here in his situation now if he isn't a risk taker.

He will be fine as he is in the business where he makes lucrative income. But $3 million is still a huge some of money, I'm sure he learn a lesson from that loss that he'll not get make himself drunk too much that he forget how much he lose already. That's why casinos loves to serve free drinks because they are investing on us, LOL.. just imagine, with free drinks, casino made $3 million on just a single night, without the dink they'll only get $80k, huge difference.

When it comes to gambling, the mixture of money, drugs, and alcohol is undoubtedly dangerous. It can impair our judgment, resulting in bad decisions and even dangerous situations. Even if people don't have millions of dollars to lose, they can still make rash decisions and lose more money than they can afford. It's like an endless loop: the more we lose, the more we feel compelled to recover our losses, which can lead to even more rash decisions.

[dothebeats]

This is why it's important to keep track of your bets and be sober when gambling. This is not an isolated case. There are lots of gamblers out there that experienced the same thing at least once because they are under the influence of alcohol. I can't really accept it if this happens to me, and perhaps that might make me stop betting if I become too careless in the future.

Anyway, that $3m is nothing to a man like Dana White. Dude's just living every man's dream at this point, and he's got a lot of business and things going on for him to enable such a lifestyle. He could easily make that money back in just a few fights and sponsorship deals. But to us common folk, even a thousand might hurt the bank too much.
