Good Question. I should have known that was coming, and now I realize why they make it so difficult to make a huge bet.

To be honest, I really don't have a specific game picked out yet, nor do I think I will probably end up betting on a game after these responses, nor do I know if I have the balls to do this. But after busting my ass in Real Estate for a long time, I am at a point in my life where I can take a little risk. I am by no means a rich guy, and $100K is a LOT of money to me.

But........I am considering taking a "big shot" or two, and am exploring my options:

1. Stock Market
2. Bond Market
3. Casino
4. Lots of other options, none of which are sane

I know the smart thing to do with the money. But I'm at the point where if I lose it, it really won't change my day-to-day life. It will hurt bad, but I will be fine. However, if I am willing to take some serious risk, I may be able to change my life substantially.

So I'm considering options. I may leave it in a mutal fund and be a wuss. But it's fun to think.

It just needs to be legal. By changing my life, I do not intend to change into being someone's bitch in the Federal Pen. That isn't the kind of change I'm looking for.
