Default Bought 4 Yankee tickets for $1,600.
It's the last regular season game at the old Yankee Stadium(9/21). I'm gambling that they're not going to make the playoffs. If they don't, the tix will be worth >$1,000 each.

There's a difference between investing and gambling. I think I'd put Yankee's tickets under the rubric of the latter.

They won't make the playoffs.

At least he's honest. Think about how entertaining it would be if everyone who did this sort of thing told us about it.

The only obscene profit that will be made reselling those tickets was made when you bought them. Enjoy the game.

Wonder if he's watching the game. Last I saw while eating TB was tied with the NYY 1-1.
