Makes sense! I was definitely thinking that it was more of a sales promotion thing. Great idea! Proud Houstonian here 💙🧡

Mattress Mac is an awesome guy. I first met him as a representative for Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough. The representative that was there before me was getting ate alive by Mac. He is a straight up business man and won't be buffaloed by anyone. The boss called me in and ask me to take over the account. Me and Mac hit it off pretty quickly. I did what Mac told me to do and wallah success. If you just remember while dealing with Gallery Furniture that Mac is the boss you'll do just fine. Mac is one of the greatest people I've ever known. Thanks for all you taught me Mac.

Surprised it’s the biggest winning, you would think high rollers would bet millions all the time

Hi Forbes How does Jim get such good odds. My sports book offers such small payouts

@colinsushiboy745 Год назад

How bets on huge underdogs. Or maybe bets on 2-3 games

It quite upsetting to watch my crypto portfolio for for past 12 months it seems holding doesn't profit much as it use to. does anyone have suggestions on how I could increase my earning

@mauricelancelot2743 Год назад

When it comes to investment encrypto we usually want our money to grow at the highest rate possible. The truth is that there are no shortcuts to getting rich, but they're smart ways to go about it

@rosemarywilliams9925 Год назад

Due to the current market swings trading short is significantly more profitable dow trading long

@kindexclusive9357 Год назад

Last week I tried treading for the first time after watching some "crypto trading for beginners on RU-vid " I even combined both RSl and MACD indicators used to increase my chance of winning but by the end of my day I lost over $800 I guess my level of inexperience contribute to this and also this crazy volatile market 🤦

@johnnygreg3471 Год назад

I'm sorry to hear about that , I've been trading around the clock for the past 2 years now And based on my experience, trading is much better when you have a very good understanding of price Action and technical analysis

@charlsgrose1231 Год назад

I strongly advise you to inform a specialist for your analysis his name is Mr Gerald his very good at what his does.

Forbes is full of scammers, with generic "this person made me a lot of money" having dozens of likes and comments within minutes of a new video.

@Turnpost2552 Год назад

You know he doesnt have to gamble that much also Furniture is such lost cause.

@wanderingdaze7018 Год назад

I see you guys turn off comments on YE video,,

Forbes doesn't owe Kanye anything. And they are getting harassed by people who cannot understand that calculating the net worth of a person is harder than re-calculating it (which simply involves deducting the worth of valuated deals).
