Can you share at least one gambler who have become rich in gambling?

[Hydrogen]

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.

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.

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.

[jhonjhon]

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.

[Taskford]

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.

[maxreish]

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.   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.

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.

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.  . but I definitely agree with the bolded part.

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.

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.

[Strongkored]

Search on internet there will be many names that's rich (based on the amount they collect from winning in gambling) because of gambling.

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.

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

[bering]

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

[Ailmand]

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.

[swogerino]

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.

[Ucy]

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.

[dentolas]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

in Poker there's Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius and Dan Bilzerian (reportedly).

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

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.
