Why gamble on something with a 0.00000001% chance of a jackpot when you could gamble on something with a 0% chance? Think, man, think.
WWE Champions General - Despite his claims, DSP is still spending thousands of dollars on the WWE Champions mobile game

That $1,100 is gonna be gone by the time the night's done. Dude's probably itching his neck like a crack fiend as he preps to blow all that money on pulls. He might save $50 for tomorrow's Doordash dinner, but other than that that money was gone the second it entered Phil's account. And the best part is he'll be right back to begging tomorrow and banning anyone who points out he literally just got over $1,000 tonight.

Jumping this over to the Champions thread because it prompts a good question: how fast can you spend money on Champions?
Let's assume that he doesn't just mash the $110.09 button on his phone, but actually plays out the gambling to the fullest each time he buys credit. How long does it take to do $110.09 worth of pulls? On that fateful occasion when he did $2100 worth of pulls in a single day, how long was that in terms of actual frantic phone tapping?

The first would be how has the in game purchase system works. Like, what is the biggest interval of currency per purchase? How long are loading screens. How long to skip animations? Is Phil so into this that he needs the feel goods of the Rare Pull animation every time? How buggy is the app?
Then, how much before some anti fraud/theft sensor is tripped because of the sheer volume of cash dissolving into nothingness? Those can take 5 to 30 minutes to resolve.
I'd say under two hours, with genuine arousal the entire time, even with said road blocks.

God, his addiction is so lame. At least with hardcore drugs you can make gritty, gut wrenching documentaries or movies like 'The Basketball Diaries'. What can you do with a retarded, droopy faced volcel who taps on his phone to 'win' jpegs of sweaty men in underwear? Even his addictions are bland as fuck, just like his content.

Not sure what you mean, he can just go to the in game store and buy a bunch of stuff like normal.
I haven't even touched anything in the store section that costs money, so I don't know how fast can he do it, but I don't imagine it taking much.
If it's opening the packs, 10-25 second per card being extremely generous, but he can just select "Skip All" and be done in a second.
Maybe I missed something, not sure if that's what you're talking about.

Yeah, that's what I mean, just how long it takes to play all the animations and whatnot. Can you really just "Skip All" and blow $100 in a second? Is it possible that Phil's most epic WWE binge lasted less than a minute?

So to go into detail why Champions is extremely exploitative, for those that aren't familiar with Gacha, they display the "rarity" rates. They do this only to not get sued by countries and areas with gambling laws.
HOWEVER, they have a malicious "stars" system as well. This is NOT normal in an overwhelming amount of Gacha games and a second tiering of rarity, meaning you can get the rarest dude in the game and he will be absolute unplayable hot garbage until you pull a higher star value of him or pay for enough "pity resources" (shards) to upgrade him.
That is why these people drop thousands and thousands of dollars. It's not enough to just pull your favorite guy, if you want to actually PLAY your favorite guy youd better spend until you have enough shards to upgrade him.
Fuck scopely.

Yes, and from my experience if he does choose to see all the animations and keep tapping the screen, it should be around 10 seconds per card on average (if it's shards or already has the character), or 25 seconds if he gets a new wrestler and watches the short animation of them entering the stage.
Factor in possible loading/freeze screens depending on his connection speed.
You know Champions has support characters. Every wrestler has a "trainer" or "coach" ability that takes effect once you equip them to someone, the higher their level, the better their ability is (goes in batches).
This is an example, if you have this Hogan at 20000 talent, when you equip him to someone they'll do 15% more gem damage:
This is an extreme case, other characters max out their ability at around half the talent, but that still takes an insane amount of resources. He's not at 3.5 million for nothing, I bet he has all the important support wrestlers maxed out for their purpose.
On top of all, if you want to re equip them to someone else, you have to "break their contract", which uses coins too. Not that many, but it adds up.
Let's not go into the straps and medals, you can also use them to make the game even more boring. Champions is a minefield when it comes to blowing your money on whatever token they come up with.

And how many cards would, say, $110.09 get you?

I think it depends on the contest, if he buys the special coins for the new loot, these are some examples from TJ's posts:

He can also do it like in my previous comment and spend "cash" for the pulls, but that's for older loot.
Here you have a video with someone opening the Hogan ones, might be faster than what I've posted:

Yeah, looks like about 10 seconds end-to-end for your typical pull.
So: let's be generous and say Phil was getting 40 pulls for each $110.09. That's 6 minutes and 40 seconds in the Gambling Zone. And his ruinous $2000 bender would have translated to about 2 hours.

I just noticed that the guy in the video above has the same sound effects as DSP.
At 1:28 the one he uses when he announces something important, and 1:45 when he fails.

What they're probably using, I remember DSP showing a red box like this one time.
It's like they make these guys in a factory.

I am skeptical of this because of just how long the ultra high grocery bills go back. The Snort Fort is on the smaller side so whatever else they are buying has to be fairly small, still expensive, and something they can keep buying for months on end. Furniture is out due to its size while jewelry and vidya are out because there is only so much one can buy. I admit I can't explain how Catherine doesn't realize Phil is spending a small fortune on gift cards for himself but the other explanations make even less sense in my opinion.
From what I can tell the bank leaks account for all or nearly all of his income: He is spending about $10,000 a month which lines up very well with our estimates that he makes $120,000 a year.
BoA also recently released an app that lets the user manage his PayPal and BoA accounts concurrently so the two are effectively "lumped" from the user's perspective. I think that is what we are seeing here and the leaks are a near-exhaustive list of spending because the alternative is that Phil overdrafted his account by thousands-tens of thousands of dollars without BoA stepping in and flagging his account.

BoA will let you get seriously wrecked as a client of their financial institution because the bottom line is charging DSP fees costs them nothing to do and they make money if he pays it back and that he keeps topping off his account and paying their fees means they'll let him be as much of a stupid fuck as he wants to be with his finances because it's not a loss for them at all. Banks are not in the business of making sure you're fiscally responsible.

I'm willing to bet the ultra high grocery bills are just legit grocery bills. If Phil normally uses PayPal throughout the rest of the week, I don't know why he'd have to buy physical gift cards on his day off. We've seen in the past Phil will waste money and impulse buy when he shops. We've also seen him throw out perfectly good food. He complains about how much trash they have, so it seems likely at least some of that is him throwing away all the groceries he doesn't eat. And, we also know Phil refuses to shop at cheaper places because his ego won't let him/he's afraid of getting stabbed. That last one isn't even a joke.

It's obvious he wants to. He wants to prove he has to spend as much as he does but knows that he can't. He used to "flex" (god I hate that word) his wealth with all the shit he bought.
But now, with him crying poor for years at this point, he knows he can't flex anymore. And without the receipts, he has to just sit there, unable to take pride in his life
