Since we believe that there are people who become rich in gambling or they are making a living in gambling

Can you please share at least one person who made that, and please put some proof.

Why do you think gamblers should (always) become rich ? It's a normal job. Most people don't get rich with their job, they just earn enough to survive and probably some more to go on vacation and things like that.

Where does the misconception, that every (professional) gambler is filthy rich, come from ?

some information about him,.. I admire his story and he was one my inspiration when I was still new in sports betting.

Where did you get such information that we all believe that there are people who got rich by gambling? Making a living by gambling? Perhaps. But these must be experienced gamblers with years of experience and a great deal of self-control.
Of course, there are individuals who win some kind of jackpot (on the national lottery or some other game of chance), but most of them spend all the money and quickly return to their old way of life.

I just believe there are gamblers who are rich in gambling and they are inspiring.
Personally I want to become rich in gambling, that is my ultimate goal..now, let me ask you, since you are a gambler, what do you want to achieve?
you just want to consider it as your job? do it all the time? come on, we all retire and to be rich is the best achievement when you retire.

Let's exclude in the discussion this normal people who gamble and do their job because that's not what I am asking, I just want to know if you know one who are rich in gambling.


I have no idea why you ask that question, I never said that every gambler are rich or should be rich.

I didn't said all. (we means, ME +1 = WE).. check post above you, there's a member who posted proof already.

A quick search on the internet and I found this https://millionairemob.com/richest-gamblers-in-the-world/

They've been banned from playing in casinos for their abilities and because they won a lot (needless to say  ;D).
I don't know what you mean by proof but I hope the articles are good enough. You can dig deeper if you want to verify them.

The janitor that won $5 million CAD through lottery.

An Ohio teacher that won $5 million through lottery as well.

--> https://www.insideedition.com/even-after-winning-5-million-lottery-jackpot-teacher-still-plans-on-working-55845

There were many of them.

Ok, so 97% of betting/poker people lose longterm, which makes it 3% winning players. From these 3% maybe 0,01% become rich with it (what is rich in the end ?).

Poker dudes are often more open (you could say bragging) about their wealth and what they made - and it's easier to publicly track. Betting people are more cagey. To name a few, that imo got rich with betting and come to my mind: Paulo Rebelo, Caan Berry and Sammy (http://betfairtennistrader.blogspot.com/), who quit betting and is doing stock trading now or tried to do it.

As I said, gambling for a living is a normal job with a, most of the time, normal income. You don't ask a plumber, if he got rich with his profession, do you ? There are surely plumbers, that got rich (building a big company), but most plumbers do not.

The definition of rich cannot be same for all of us. Please check this PR account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1928906;sa=showPosts) of stake and primedice then you will come to know that how many people have already won bigger to biggest amount of their life time. Unfortunately, I am not seeing anyone from this forum to be claiming that winning amounts (there could be multiple reasons for hiding like they might be preferring not to make people begging to them).

I'm sorry I'm not able to answer you by directly spotting a person who made that but I believe most of our cryptocurrency based gambling houses might have made at least one person richer than how they had been leading their life financially before trying crypto gambling.

National lottery winners, to name one.  Aside from that, you can refer to this site to see these 17 Gamblers Who Got Rich (https://www.gamblingsites.org/blog/17-gamblers-who-got-rich/).

thats impossible to make a living out of gambling only not unless if these gamblers are pro or sponsored by some big companies where they earn income that they wont loose on gambling ( on thier playing sessions )  never seen one on a normal game like dice , slots , etc but ive heard several pro gamblers on poker . that was a long time ago and i already forgotten thier names  .  normal people that isnt a pro , will hardly make a living in gambling because he will likely loose if he play everyday .

Maybe, the people that become rich in gambling are in the Sports betting area.
"The Richest Gamblers in the World (https://www.bestcasinosites.net/blog/richest-gamblers.php)"

As for me, sports betting is almost the same as trading. You can analyze the result it's just that it takes serious talent and knowledge to know who will win. Better connections can also help and just because it is considered a game of skills, not a piece of luck.

But going into casinos and becoming rich is nearly impossible. That's not a good idea. The casino has been built to profit. Not to give money like charities. Well, if you really want to get rich on gambling, try spots betting. I heard a lot of people who made it. Billy Walters is one of them.

Can someone name at least one cryptocurrency gambler, that become rich (or at least famous for his bets) in gambling, but not by cryptocurrency exchange rate growth ? :)

Anything will do. Real name or nickname, or any rumor or story about becoming rich from crypto gambling.

Ryan the owner of bustabit I think we all know that he is making a huge income from it.
And the site is still running smoothly for so long so isn't it enough proof?

I know so many Poker Stars but i think that's not what you really meant :). Actually, I haven't known someone yet who really became rich mainly because of gambling. All of my friends are just winning few bucks every time they play (earning hundreds of bucks are very seldom). But well, I still take it as a good thing tho, at least I knew that they are not gambling dependent until now — a person who only relies on his skill/luck on gambling. An that was still a blessing to be thank for because I knew that all of us are still not crazy lol ;D.

I don't know personally of one, but I know one gambler operator who made it big really big and became the president of the United States and that's trump, it's very hard for a gambler to get rich but very easy for operators to make huge money and become a business mogul.

There have been several examples already given in this thread, however like in most other aspects of our lives the wealth distribution is really skewed and this is even more true in gambling, we know that most players are losers, probably above 95% of them, 4.99% are small winners, this takes into account all of those guys that went gambling once with their friends and they got lucky that night and never gambled again, then you have the 0.01% which are the rich gamblers, most of these are probably lottery or jackpot winners with just a few skilled players making enough money to be of any mention.

As I have read in the blog before, there are so many persons who became reach because of gambling, and one of which is Bill Benter. He is considered as the wealthiest gambler in the world who won on the betting of the horse race. The horse race is a game where you will put your bet on the specific horse, and if the horse gets the first place, then you would win a high prize. The higher the risks or payout, then the higher the reward in this game. Bill Benter now has an estimated net worth of 1 billion dollars. I inspired him so much before because I am a person who wants to become rich someday, so I used on gambling, but it is already done, I am now free from gambling, to share.

That is not what he wants to point out. He is not saying that if a person is a gambler, then he or she can be rich someday or in a future, He only wants to ask about persons who became wealthy from gambling, well, we can not judge him, that is what he wants to know. I think you misunderstood what he really wants to say.

I thibk there are so many people that we could tell since one jackpot in a lottery would really change anyone's life.
And there are so many lottery winner in each and every country.
Besides lottery there are also some other types of gambling that have a contest for example poker,
There are so many professional poker tournaments that have a huge prize on the pot.

Dude, this guy is in prison for insider trading. Also, in sports betting, he could bribe opposition to intentionally losing the game.

I'm more convinced with gamblers who play in skill games, like poker, blackjack, etc., that utilize card counting method. They could become rich before getting blacklisted to enter casinos.

And for the lottery, 70% went bankrupt in just a few years.

If they (the winners) don't know how to make money in the first place, they won't be able to sustain their spending. Wealth is built on the continuous stream of cash inflow.

Its much harder to be profitable gambling over the last few years with investment bankers buying up and consolidating many sportsbooks. And their influence being reflected in many sporting events trending towards becoming more shady and inconsistent. Many previously profitable gamblers are abandoning the industry as a result, making it less likely you'll find anyone who is profitable or rich through the practice.

Vegas Dave is probably the loudest personality claiming to have struck it rich via gambling. You can find him on twitter, instagram, youtube, etc. He posts pictures of himself driving expensive cars, at big parties with multiple women. He is a controversial figure. Sportsbooks have recently claimed that screenshots he's posted of his winning bets were forged. There are many who claim he made his money through selling his sports picks, rather than gambling on his own.

If there are people who got rich gambling, they're more likely the type to keep a low profile and not publicly discuss how much they made.

That said, there are many who have been documented profiting millions through fantasy sports, which is a little different from gambling but similar.

I can't give any further proof of that person I personally known for winning the local lottery in my country, long time ago maybe around 10 years. As I remembered him he won the jackpot lotto at around $320,000 luckily, but unfortunately he died after 3 years. However, as per feedback from friends at the workplace, his family is now living comfortably with business established through that money.

There are literally tens of thousands of gamblers that have become rich while gambling, you can simply search for lottery winners and you'll find hundreds of individuals that have won millions of dollars.

There are also professional gamblers in most categories that can be considered rich as a result of gambling, I don't know too much about other industries, but in Poker there's Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius and Dan Bilzerian (reportedly).

Surely there's also a huge number of wealthy sports bettors, but I'm not familiar with them.

Overall, it's easier to win large amounts when you have a large bankroll, otherwise the odds will also be against you.

Why do you think it is really important to know who the gamblers can be rich? I think it is not really important to know about it. What for? Only to ensure that playing gambling is worth? We must know that if playing gambling worthless at all, then the gambling sites will have no members there.

I am pretty sure that most gamblers hide their identities and their success. Sometimes, it will be better to hide some information that is not really needed to share with others.

To be honest, the gamblers that I know aren't rich at all they are broke. Well gambling is a good way to become rich because it can give you big winning however, people are people and when they win the jackpot they become greedy and they tend to continue gambling and most people will do all in and unfortunately they lost it and after losing the can't accept the fact that they've lost so they will continue to gamble trying to recover the losses and that's when playing recklessly and instead of recovering the loss they tend to add to it. Therefore, for me there is only very few people who become rich through gambling and actually I don't know anyone from my circle.

You mean gamblers? For sure no because the lose streak is more bigger than winnings so for sure they are just hitting some bricks to get win and this will never earn you riches, But for Gambling business owners? for sure they became so rich when there are more gamblers losing on their platforms and each wager is a profit for them.



Maybe just a little survey for his self to see if there's people earning a better life on gambling.

I knew a guy/bi, that won a lot of money by betting on the lottery. I can't say his name but let's just call in under the nickname "Rowena". A lot of people knew about it and the proof of it, well, he had a lot of stores in our town. A parlor, a shop which is selling a lot of stuff like clothes, bags, shoes but not branded, he has these stores like 4 or 5 of them and that is because he won in the lottery.

Honestly, I've  never met a gambler personally who became rich with gambling.  My friend actually gain decent profits everyday from gambling but he isn't yet that rich.  :D Also, I have read one of the gambler's story in which he won huge at gambling and manage to put up a business because of that.

Majority thinks gambling is an easy rich quick scheme but in reality, it is not and it will be the other way around. I guess OP wanted to see some proofs to inspire him to become a pro gambler and become rich, which is not guaranteed 100%. Gambling is always be gambling and we only just rely on luck.

But the fact that they became a millionaire because of gambling cannot be refuted.  We do not care whether they go bankrupt or get richer after they won the lottery.  ;D. but I definitely agree with the bolded part.

---

We cannot deny the fact that there are people who get rich because of gambling, though I agree that there are way more people who lose in it but, fact is fact and it is established with proof that these people get rich because of gambling.  So I guess your answer is quite unfounded and wrong. There are people who get rich because of gambling.

Search on internet there will be many names that's rich (based on the amount they collect from winning in gambling) because of gambling.
https://www.gamblingsites.org/blog/17-gamblers-who-got-rich/

I've read a thread that gamblers gets 200BTC from betking, that number should make he rich, but most gamblers will return to gamble with the results obtained.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1371541.0

I have never met or known someone who is rich from gambling.

my neighbor several years ago buy some lottery with only $10 and at that time he won the main prize with over than $10000 and he rich suddently from won the jackpot because in my country those amount of money was so huge but unfortunately since he can't managing the money and cannot stopped gamble so it took only several months since get the jackpot he was spend his money and being poor again

Most of the people I know who are addicted to gambling or not really rich, most are just average people. None of them got rich because of gambling. I know some rich people who got addicted to casino games who became poor because of gambling. Gambling should not be viewed as a way to get instantly rich. People who got instantly rich without hard work end up mismanaging their finance and goes back to being poor again.

My aunt won a raffle jackpot in a casino worth $20,000 and had spent it in just 1 week. Most of the money was spent on gambling too. So if you are a problem gambler, winning a jackpot won't benefit you, it will make you even more addicted to it.

I think there is only one correct answer to this.The answer is that all the persons in Las Vegas who have won multi million dollars jackpots have become rich from gambling.The problem is these person compared to all the gamblers in the world are 0.00000000000000000001% or less.

I guess the right question should be "Can you share at least one gambler who earned consistently from gambling". I bet there are many who became rich from gambling... if not, who then won/wins the big prizes(that could make anyone rich) staked by gambling centers/sites? I have heard stories of people winning large sums of money in sport-betting alone. Could those be fake? Perhaps, shills are "winning" gambling prizes allover the world? Well, I don't know.
Earning consistently from skill-based "gambling" is possible too. Probably smaller amount of people succeed in this.

Well, there are the lotteries and jackpots, where you buy a weekly or monthly ticket and wait... these have made several normal people rich, but this is not true gambling...
Professional gamblers usually make a living (otherwise they would have to change profession), but are they rich? I believe that most of them are not...
Those guys that have become filthy rich and are excluded from casinos have excepcional brain skills that allow them to win most times... regular people will loose more than win most times

Check the account and story of betcoin.ag and see the reason why they have negative trust.

The winner won huge amount despite of the issue.

Here's their account --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=202115

Just last year the winner of the Eurojackpot went home with 90 million Euros. The player is from the Czech Republic but of course his name is unknown. The Eurojackpot often pays out huge winnings. Someone from Finland won over 60 Million Euros back in 2014.
https://www.multilotto.com/en/lotterynews/we-have-a-eurojackpot-winner-90-000-000-eur

Those who like lotto, this is the biggest on in Europe

Can you disclose how much he has won in the lottery? looks like Rowena was wise with the money that he has won. And I think the majority that have won and became rich with gambling was through luck and that's with the lottery.

So here's some of those poker players that made money through their professional poker career.

Phil was included to last year's world's top 10 richest poker players base on this article.

Here Are The 10 Richest Poker Players In The World Today (https://moneyinc.com/richest-poker-players-in-the-world/)

Guess you're just asking this question for asking sake since googling can provide you with all the answers you need. I could call names of people I know but you meant not know them since their success story aren't as global as other and they mainly are people from my geographical location (country men).

Rich as a word is also subjective to individual interpretation since $1000 could make me rich in some country while that's pocket money in other countries. If we haven't recorded any success story of individuals who have become rich respectively in their country then I doubt the industry would have been this big since majority of its patronizers are only after becoming rich.

There were many people who got ultra-rich on playing gambling, I have one poker player who I watch and idolize him for having winning on different matches that let him earn millions and makes him my idol on playing poker. His name is David Peters from the US.

A person like him does have an intensive focus on playing poker and I try imitating that as his follower, I don't expect to earn what he earn cause I think it's impossible to me, Playing on a low bet is my thing.

I know someone but I don't she counts since he is not that really of a gambler but just won in the lottery.

I can share a lot of people here that I watched online and some of the people that are featured in the news but most of them did not continuously become rich. Maybe because of what we call curse in winning them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GCO9k1FKaE

Playing a gamble didn't have a higher chance that you will certainly become rich, it's all about luck in the game. But after doing some research, I found out that there is really people who becomes rich in playing gamble. Bill Benter is one of those people. He uses his knowledge in mathematics to play count cards and black jack. For more info, go to this website. https://www.bestcasinosites.net/blog/richest-gamblers.php

I don't have any of my friends and I guess many of  those who really made gambling their job will not divulge information about their trade secret and how much they are earning, they should protect their assets of course and their love ones, but there are rich tycoon who owns casinos who made a lot of money from operating these gambling casinos.

He was a smart guy but his way of making money in gambling was very clever, actually I don't know that he was in prison for such offense, I just watch the video shared by status and it was really interesting.

I am now reading more about his cased and why he was in prison- https://tv5.espn.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/22946649/world-best-most-feared-sports-gambler-game-us-supreme-court-considers-legalizing-craft-espn

              Well that certainly tell us all. There are times that you are lucky while sometimes not. I don't have lots of friends who plays gambling but i am quiet sure that it is due to your luck or your own analysis(maybe sometimes it applies), and not due to someones guidance. As far as i know the higher the stakes the lesser the percentage of winning the prize poll.

I dont know whose player become rich in gambling because honestly no one can tell they become rich except those speaking too highly about oneself. But those humble people they will reman silent and do thier best to reach their goal. Also for me no need to be boastful how rich you are because not all the time you will remain what you have.

I don't personally know any person who has made his riches from gambling, but I do know there are public personalities like Daniel Negreanu who has made its fortune from playing poker at tournaments. But that's not pure gambling - in poker tournaments you can actually turn the edge on your side by learning certain skills.

When you look at it, there a tons of people who became rich while gambling but maybe not the way you assume they did. For example there are tons of poker players who are millionaires because they know how to gamble and constantly gamble against other people online which helps them make a ton of money because they know what they are doing while others do not (or at least not a professional level) and these professionals also join tournaments that they make millions from as well.

Lottery winners are another example, they spend peanuts compared to lottery amount and one person always wins and they make a ton of money from it, not a systematical talent thing and pure luck but it is still gambling. Sure maybe not many dice gamblers who are rich but it is still gambling that other ones made their money from.

Lol, so you don't think there are people out there who became rich gambling? From time to time I see people winning lotteries and getting rich real quick. I have also heard stories of those people spending lavishly and ends up being broke again. It is really weird that you haven't come across any news where people got quite lucky and rich over night. You might consider visiting different casinos and check the stats of top users who made profit. You will be surprised.

To be honest I don't know the exact amount. In our country, we have this lottery called PCSO lotto where we predict a combination of numbers. There are also modes like ez2, swertres, 4 digits, 6 digits, and others. As far as I know, he won at the 6/42 or the digits, nowadays the prize money for that is 9 million pesos or $176,850.90. As you said, I think he did not really become rich because of gambling but because he handled that winnings very well.

It's still a lot of money honestly.

I've heard many success stories of gamblers that became rich but the next act would be the most interesting part of their lives. It's how they will handle the money that they've won.

And usually, many that came from gambling or quick profits can easily be spent in trivial things. But that person is one of the few that spent it which will change his life forever.

Don Johnson is one of those who made fortune out of gambling, winning $15m playing Blackjack. He is only one of those who were lucky enough to make millions out of such activity so we cannot really say that no one is winning in gambling. It all depends on your luck and decision-making, but the bottomline is luck. But for sure, only few people are lucky enough to win and majority are losing.
Winning hundreds of thousand dollars is enough I think, of a winning, to call a gambler winning big time in from gambling and those who would be called "rich" are those who reached millions of dollars from gambling. There's no basis with this, but I think such value is valid enough. Having a business out of the profit earned from gambling is another thing because that depends on the gambler. Not all people would engage to business upon winning, some people would stick with gambling.
I don't know but i think, he is pointing out those who won "big time" and that's it. There's no need to focus on his choice of words, to be honest.

Are you aware about the owner of FedEx company? They are near in bankruptcy but the owner go to Vegas with pocket money of $5000 which is the last money of the company and he bet it in blackjack then he won $27000 where he saved the company from bankruptcy. Story of people who became rich from gambling is now common, they are lucky I think but they also have good gambling skill that helps them to make money from it.

Poker is not gambling.
Poker is one of the few games where skill matters.

If you keep taking +EV (mathematically correct) choices you will win in the long run.

You need to learn how to use the mathematical process and how much to invest in every game (bankroll management) to beat the system.

Is not easy and since math is envolved this is why "bots" are banned on the poker rooms or they can easily beat the game.

Pardon me but I would disagree with this, ever since I already believe that poker is gambling and in fact to verify that I made some search online.

per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker


There's a gambling on it, I understand you mentioned about skills but this form of gambling maybe belong in a skilled based type of gambling, the other type is what we called the luck based type which is games like dice, roulette, lottery, and etc.

Yes, you right a better choice words could be, a game where gambling is also present but not dominant.

If you play for example "sit and go" with a perfect ICM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Chip_Model you can beat the game.
It is very hard but doable from some people, they can beat the game or go even and earn with the Rakeback.

Also, luck and unluck are only common words for a good or bad variance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance

That's why bots are banned cause they can easily calculate the "right " decision and win in the long term.

I did not know even 1 person who win millions of dollars or turn their life to become rich, but for sure many players of the gambling are really become rich but there is also more people who lost more money and from rich they become poor because they addicting in playing.

But for the players who win and become rich I hope I can become like that someday so I can get what ever I want.

Remember that a person can become rich by their hardwork and gambling is not the way but it's your choice if you want to believe that.

The problem with those poor people that won the lottery is that they can't manage their winnings well. Even before they won the lottery, they would always imagine themselves having this and this and this and when the time comes that they actually win and spend their money into anything, speaking of winning, we actually forget this guy, this janitor that won in Canada from our country. What happened to him now?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5149091.0

I only see some "very rare" cases that I watch on TV or Internet, and they do sports gamble, nothing related to gamble in casinos or luck games
I know some people on another forum that I use, and they are good to gain money with soccer gamble, but they lost a lot of money too, it's barely impossible to become rich doing this, unless you are the house  ;D

What they do is to have a consistance, trying to gain more bets than lose

I know some people who wins some huge amount of money, but they put a lot of money into it, and I don't know if counts, because the person is already rich before

I think a lot of gambler have experienced winning a millions of dollars in gambling because it is really their lucky day, but unfortunately they also lose that money in the same day, that is why no gambler have stayed becoming rich in gambling because the only people who can be rich from gambling are dealers and casino owners because all of our losses are their income.

Indeed. Only dealers and owners of a casino are the only ones who can be rich with gambling because all of our losses are their source of income. Gamblers can really be rich from gambling, but most gamblers don't have any control to themselves, that is why they easily lose all of their winnings in gambling.

Ko Jun from the movie God Of Gambler he never lose in gambling because he is the god of gambler, and of course the most of them all Trump, he is now a billionaire and he got his huge wealth from running casinos very few gamblers get rich from gambling, you will need to be a loan shark or a gambling operator to get rich from gambling.
 

More often you will notice and experience that those who win big from gambling will not share their winnings and details as much as those who lost more in gambling. I don't know the reason for this behavior but we see more people who lose from gambling complaining here and those who won prefer to remain silent.
I could not remember anyone becoming rich from gambling and especially I am not that lucky one.

There are too many of them I have known here in my country. Those people who have won in mega jackpot lotto.
But after hearing their names I did not know where they are and maybe they are hiding after have won a huge amount. They become a multi-billionaire, of course, they want to protect their lives. That's why most people are now hoping to hit the jackpot in the lottery and they buy tickets daily for that hopes.

In my country we have a lot of professional poker players and most of them are making a killing on the tournaments and they also get millions from sponsorships.  ;)  I also know of a lot of people that are betting on Sports that know their stuff and they also make more money that they are losing.

A friend of mine are gambling on horse racing for a living and he is doing this as a full-time job. He has been doing this since the age of 16, so he knows his stuff and he is make a lot of money.  :o

We also have a National Lottery and there are winners every day now, so many people are making a lot of money and even becoming multi-millionaires from gambling on the Lottery.  ;)

The only people who have gotten rich in gambling are the casino owners. Very very few people can actually make themselves rich with a constant gambling addiction. However, they aren't like the average gambler, they know how their addiction is harmful to them and take controlling measures like psychological control training and fixed deposit direct debit methods to control their spendings and savings.

I agree those casino owner are one who become rich even morw because many player lose everyday, but those players become rich are the professional gambler and have a lot money to gamble but they not telling it to others they still become humble all the time which for me its good because I think there's no point to tell to somebody that youre rich, if you really want to help them then teach them the proper way to manage money than being boastful.

I think being humble is not the main reason why they are not telling others that they earned a lot of money by playing gambling but the greatest factor of it is their security. They might be targetted by somebody knowing they are holding such a big gambling profit.

If a certain gambler want's to make himself famous for his wins, telling people on the wins he got from the gambling site will make him a bit popular but the risk on his life will be high, The reason why lotto winners aren't told to the public is because of security matter.

Probably for the same reason why most jackpot lottery winners choose to remain anonymous. I can only imagine how many leeches would gather around me and my family.
The problem is, how to spend so much money without the neighbourhood noticing? Perhaps the best solution is to move to a new surroundings and forsake all your relatives and old friends. ;D

i heard a lottery winner before that being threatened and they actually moved on new place using the money that they won  . that is why its better if we dont  talk about our gains when winning big especially if its offline becuase its easy for people to spot on you and do unwanted things but on offline , you are anonymous and no one knows if you win  if you dont tell them exactly your real infos    . also i think  the owner of the gambling business is i think not consider on this as an aswer because he isnt a gambler anyway but he his an onwer  ;p

In online gambling I haven't heard someone became rich, maybe the owner of gambling website? If sweepstakes is considered as gambling I heard a lot that won in our local lotto sweepstakes, they can be rich if they manage their money properly.

I guess, the bigger the capacity to of wage and taking risk in gambling the bigger the chances a gambler might probably win. Although there are some small time gamblers who wins in games but, I think it don't lasts because, mostly without self-control they would still want to gamble their wins for hope to earn more money until they are left again with nothing in their pocket. This could be the scenarios that mostly happening inside the casinos and gambling sites because, it is embedded in our nature on wanting something more from what we have and it isn't a good character a gambler should have. Instead, a gambler should be very thankful for wins, even if it is only small.

There are tons of people winning in lottery and they are considered to become Rich because of gambling right?so we don't need to name them because that is very confidential yet true .

so the reality there are already many people that turns richer in gambling,not unless you are pointing to specific gambling games that people risk betting before winning big?

Yes gambling has been around for ages so there are already so many people who have become rich by it.
There are so many people who won in lottery, There are some who won in tournaments like poker.
And let's not forget those who make money by becoming the owner of a gambling site or a local casino?
Those who own's the house are making a huge profit because of the gamblers.
Just imagine how much they are earning monthly or yearly.

It's hard to identify on online gambling especially if the gambling sites don't apply KYC in their gambling site, It's hard to identify the real name of a player if he is only using a username to represent himself unless he talks all about his winning on the internet.  Sweepstakes don't usually reveals the winners because of their security measures, Also there are different tiers of prizes that to be won on a lottery, Big winnings are the one who is really confidential and can't show into the public.

It is hard to find or heard someone became rich from online gambling because I don't think most of them who won will share their winning to the public. They will keep their winning in secret, or they will withdraw their money to another wallet. When it came to online gambling, we will hard to find who was the winner because sometimes we will see some people admit that they win in the gambling games but the fact that they don't win anything.

But if that comes in the offline gambling, perhaps we have heard some people who can win in the gambling games especially in the lottery games because this game is one of the popular gambling games in the city.

Gambling operators and loan sharks are the prime people who made money from gambling and gamblers, and if we have to name one big name in gambling that will have to be Donald Trump of Las Vegas, but every gambling casino in every country has their own gambling taipan, but in the case of gambler I don't there's not much who made big, but if there are, they prefer not to divulge it.

Every lottery winner, every poker tournament winner, every slot jackpor winner etc. There's a lot of individual that become rich by gambling by hitting the jackpot or simply winning the tournament. Getting rich through gambling is hard and your chance is close to none on hitting the jackpot. I highly suggest that you shouldn't treat gambling as a quick to rich scheme conaidering that, only few of people making it. Just enjoy gambling and become happy to win some.

Let's put it this way, it's like earning a big salary with their works. In this case, gambling is their profession or work.

And I think you are asking too much since you also want to see some proofs on their claims? I mean, for what purpose? If you see someone claims that they become rich from gambling, do they really need to provide proof in public?

No need to bother if that's true or not as we can determine if those claims are true or just a made-up story.

Yes, I do believe that someone already became rich in doing gambling. But for who are they, is that really necessary? If we read stuff like this, I think we don't need to dig much deeper to the point that we need to know here who are those and provide supporting proof that they really won.

How do you define "rich"? We have different views on that. I have known personally who win big in gambling but I didn't know if they pursue their goal of becoming rich, if they become rich after that or if they make a living out of gambling.

If this is about curiosity, I think reading articles or discussions around the gambling-related forum at any discussion platform can somehow answer your concerns. Might be there is someone who shared their story and yours to decide if it's true or not.

If we only expect the jackpot from gambling to get rich I think it will be difficult only people who are very lucky who get it and who win only one person while gambling there are millions of people stop thinking about thinking about the jackpot to get rich I think it will be difficult.

I'm here to play gambling just to enjoy and my pleasure is not more to expect a jackpot that is not certain.

i can vouch of the legitimacy of someone can be richer because of gambling.

i have a Neighbor 3 years ago that won a Lottery,actually there are two of them that need to share the win but enough to make them both a Millionaire because the Prize?is $4million so yeah He is a 2 million dollar richer that day and now?they are not living here they migrated in Hawaii since they have enough money to spend the and live there.

as you can see, her story is that of someone well successful. Of course, this does not happen to everyone and for this reason, governments and many civil society organizations advise people to never make loans to participate in gamble, they advise people never to sell their assets to participate in gamble


when people listen on TV: "person X won 30 million dollars in the lottery..." what do you think people who listen to these kinds of things will do? when they play the lottery they will have high expectations of winning 30 million dollars too

Being a gambling site owner is counted yes? well if you count them in I knew one, It si Bary/Baryom who is the owner of bitsler.com.
I was there from the start of that website and the development it had just shows he indeed became rich from that site. Also the other owners of the biggest gambling sites like primedice and bustabit.

That is not counted as far as I understands on OPs post, this is for a simple reason that casinos wins all the time, therefore the owners have the edge over its gamblers. It's more challenging if we gamblers will become rich as most gamblers are losing money, reason why casinos are booming.

No one become rich in Gambling because even they rich because of gambling this will easily lose again because of addiction.  And maybe thier some gambler become rich and not try to gamble again and the money they earn use for good like buying a house and having a bussines.

If you'll check the previous posts, you'll read that there are people who actually become rich in gambling.
And personally I believe on that since we can win in gambling but the reality here is that most gambler are losers so only few become rich.

You made a good point because being rich suddenly comes with a lot of problems because you suddenly get rich in such lotteries you first of all are never used to of such life where you will be always on the stalkers who will harass you through various channels.

I do know a guy who has got rich from gambling but his story is a bit different and he belongs to the crypto world, actually he was fascinated by the gambling of crypto and bought around 2k USD worth of bitcoins for gambling, while he never took too seriously the gambling now that the price has gone bonkers and around 100 times of what he purchased at, he is now quite rich. So, while it is technically an investment but actually he bought bitcoins for sole purpose of gambling only.

I can mention dozens of poker players names here who have made tons of money by just playing poker . Poker comes under gambling too isn't it ?

As someone already mentioned , earning some extra money is also aim of some gamblers like me. I bet on 1.02 odds matches ( sports ) to get some extra money . I don't get on some random match though , I analyze carefully even for 1.02 bet because well it's 2% interest .

I can't state a name who become rich just because on gambling because I believe that the percentage of winning in a gambling session is very low so meaning the chance of having a people who become rich is very low that's why i can't state a name of a people to become rich just because on gambling or playing.
but who knows if there are some people who really become rich just because on playing and gambling on some casinos.

Gamblers who become rich from gambling are not lacking but I cannot say the names of those people when exactly as you say, the winning rate is not long lasting and quite low, they may be lucky today and tomorrow, even the next few days but these names will soon be replaced by other names, wealth is only a temporary aura in gambling. And this is an illegal game, very easy to get into jail with the gambling, I saw many people succeed with gambling but soon they were arrested by the police, it's hard to see someone gambling and rich in the long run

Having a lot of money to gamble does not make someone a professional gambler and actually there should be nothing termed as professional gambler because even if you are well experienced you will still face loss and need luck.

I am not really sure what you want to convey here because I do understand the part that no on should be boasting and bragging about their wins but I don't see anything wrong either if anyone does so. And you said they should help people manage money. How is it it even relevant in the context of the discussion going on? Maybe you meant to say that they should offer such services where they guide others about wealth management but it does not coincide with gambling.

I suggest you stop doing that, it's not wise as there's no guarantee that you'll win every time.
Actually I tried the same technique before but I was not successful, and you know what, you need a decent amount of bet on enjoy a 2% winning, that's not viable in the long run.

Being in this gambling industry for so long I have noticed that gamblers can win but only through wrong ways, let me explain a few methods I personally seen gamblers taking advantage of and how they use it for their benefits.

1- Sports Betting: Wrong Markets is a common mistake that often happens on sports betting and some people take advantage of such markets for example a a betting event has finished but for some glitch the casino offers odds on it.

2- Dice: There have been numerous cases where the gambler would find a flaw in the code and utilize it. Even primedice has been victim of such hackers.

Apart from malpractice there is no way a gambler can win money in long term.

Because of this we should fix mindset about gambling it self. People gambling for money and " fun ", not always success but the main part is they not use loan money and enjoy the journey. Many people success with gambling tournament because dedication and disciplines, that's more important than become rich, I totally agree with you.

I don't bet everyday , I have 12-13 LTC which I won in some contest , now I have turned that into 27 LTC , I won't bet all of them too on a single match and I don't actually care if I lose the bet .

Which gambling tournament are you referring to ? Because according to me only dedication and discipline isn't enough , they need luck too.

I'm pretty sure that they are doing tutorials or doing a course on how to succeed in gambling, winning continuously in gambling is a gift and you must possess a good skill to do it many times, these people are one in a million but if they can disguise themselves or go to other countries I'm sure they can extend their winning or cover more territories.

There are many people who have won the lottery jackpots by the millions. This does not need much proof as many of these winnings are even published in national newspapers. Even local lotteries in my place are offering jackpot prizes that would make any winner instant rich, even richer than many businessmen.

But if you refer to those gamblers who are playing casino games, then I guess the huge majority are not creating much wealth out of their winnings. In fact, on the contrary, they are losing. More than 90% of them are not netting positive.

I guess we can certainly say that gambling has manage to make some gamblers rich. Even i had read some gambler won a jackpot price in Freebitcoin the reward was a car with the rewards and jackpots then giveaways that most gambling site are offering right now. We could say that someone has got rich by it.

But i've never heard that someone is making it as a source of income that would be pretty risky in my opinion.

In PH, we have a television game show wherein people in legal age can play and win million peso everyday if you are lucky enough. I know there are people who are studying if there is a pattern in numbers so that they can easily hit the grand prize and become instant millionaires.
The winners of this game are confidential since he/she can be a target of bad people but it is still in the news that someone got the prize in a particular place.

mind to Give Name or title of this "Television Show"? if you are referring to Mega Jackpot Lotto that is not a show instead that is a gambling that is run by the government or PCSO Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
there are one topic Here that discussed about a gambler and Bright man that Get the combination of lottery for many times or i mean have idea about what combination will comes out so he bets on closest one.

would like to know the name of the show as well
it's curious how people are usually interested on earning money fast.

"get rich slow" is not so popular, even though super effective.

There's no doubt that there are people who are treating gambling as professions and they are not playing to be rich but instead they are playing to survive and make a living. Those so called professional gamblers are people who are good in controlling their mindsets while playing, they don't have any emotions that can lead them to greediness and forget about goals that they've set up.
Don't have specific name that can be an example for whoever doing this and become rich as they will hide their identity for security purposes.

Just last week here in our country, there's a lone winner of over 70 million in lotto but of course, his name was not mentioned because they want to protect their bettors or clients, there are people who get rich in gambling like lottery but I do not have a friend who won the jackpot so far
but there are already thousands who won on lottery than getting rich in gambling casinos.

As you said, for few smart people gambling is not just a game rather it is a profession. They gamble not to enjoy or become rich in short time, they gamble smartly in order to make maximum money. These are the people who have fixed goals and they stick to them rather than going with their instincts.

Uhm, not at all will believed that gambling is the solution to become rich someday, because many those gamblers are plunged into huge debt, because they want to recover they assets so that they play gambling again and again not knowing that it has a bad results.
Being a rich by just playing gambling is a lucky,  so that if you don't find lucky in playing gambling it is time for you to stop, because if don't it is possible to recover again your assets. The person i've know is Edward E. Thorp has a net worth of $800 Million. He is not a gambler only because he had finished a PhD in mathematics and worked as a math professor. For more information about him and other successful gambler you may check this link https://www.bestcasinosites.net/blog/richest-gamblers.php (https://www.bestcasinosites.net/blog/richest-gamblers.php).

Game show and gambling have huge differences you must know that :D. I'm from PH and I don't see any similarities between the 2 of them aside from the fact that you will compete with other players to win the jackpot which is 1 million. Yes these exists in our country but there are no patterns in it and if there is then more people should have won compare to the numbers of people who won.

Are you talking about the game show?? It is being televised on a television and many people are watching so how can the winner's information be confidential?? I assume that you aren't watching at all :D.

Why should a state a name or a person who made that just because on gambling all i know is there is no people or person that is becoming rich because of gambling are playing because we all know that gambling is more on losing the for example if you complete all of your earnings versus your own losses would probably that your losses are more greater than your profit or earnings that you have been get because to be honest gambling is just a vices no one could really looking rich on this field just maybe if you are so lucky that you are winning every time or whenever you play then you are becoming rich by doing that.
