An open thank you letter to Stunna and Primedice.
My name is Montalslog.
FIRSTLY, to anyone who disbelieves this story, it was witnessed live by many regulars, and you are free to check the stats of account 1326474.
I am a stay at home dad of two children, with a bedridden wife who suffers from some major health issues.
I frequent the PD site for the good company and to play with the free faucet money.
Recently, I lent my mother-in-law ~$700 to get an emergency car repair, and she failed to repay me by the 1st of the month.
As I am writing this, it is the 12th of May. I hold in my hand an eviction notice stating I need to come up with the difference by midnight tonight.
I had no real recourse, having been unsuccessful selling my household items, and having no family who would assist me.
However, I have always provided for my family regardless of the circumstances.
Last night, I could not sleep. I turned to PD to chat with the regulars, my main form of social interaction.
I decided that I had one shot, to take a chance and play the site with real motivation, to get enough money to keep a roof over my family's head.
I had no BTC to start with, and used the free faucet funds to start a bankroll.
I started with 250 satoshis, knowing I could not give up, no matter how ridiculous the odds.
As of now, ~10AM PDT, I have turned that free faucet money into over 3btc, in a 10+ hour betting session.
I can pay my rent, and even have some left over for other expenses.
Somehow, starting with fractions of a penny and the knowledge that losing was not an option, I bailed my family out of our predicament.
I am literally crying with joy.
So this is a thank you to Stunna and the Primedice crew, because without this site, I would be facing eviction tonight, and have failed as a provider.
Sincerely,
--Montalslog, from Portland, OR
Awesome story, wish you could've recorded your run from faucet to 3 btc, that's insane! The highest I ever got to was from 1000sat to 0.017 before I lost it all.
