This guy gambles and wins a total amount of £400,000 and quits while ahead.

[aakashsangwan]

Josh Spurling decided to gamble out of sheer boredom since he was locked at home due to the current lockdown situation, and he gambled on two different occasions and on both he won big amounts totalling to £400,000.

It’s also pertinent to note that he’s decided not to gamble anymore as he believes to quit while he’s ahead, but something tells me he’s going to gamble again.

Now I know many will ask me why I feel this, so the answer is simple he’s already spending his fortune away quickly, and he’ll have more confidence in his luck so it’s only a matter of days before he gambles again.

Lastly there’re two important lessons we all can learn from him, 1) quit while you’re ahead and 2) don’t splurge your winning fortune quickly spend it slowly and wisely.

A SALESMAN won more than £400,000 in online casinos when he was bored during lockdown.

Josh Spurling struck lucky in two games just a few days apart.

The window and door salesman has already spent £50,000 on a house deposit, as well as presents for himself and his family including his daughters aged eight and three. A holiday is also on the cards.

But Josh is now giving up online gambling. He said: “I feel I’ve had my luck and I’ve done really well. If I carried on I’d jinx it.”

I bet he has spent his fortune wisely as he have brought a home from that money and now he can have something of his own out of nothing from that gambling money. This again proves that luck is most of the percentage when it comes in gambling and your strategy is only of a fractional amount. He seems to be a wise man to do such a daring task of not gambling again as after winning such huge amount anyone would be tempted to gamble again.

Yes, that is proving to us that the lucky factor is the most important in gambling. I hope that he doesn't spend all of the win money to buy many things but he also safe the money for his future as he doesn't know if he can win much money again or not. Besides that, I hope he doesn't come back to the casino for a long time because he still has a lot of money to spend. I guess maybe that winning will hardly happen again in the future, so he needs to remember that is the best thing that he can get from gambling.

He's indeed a wise man because he do directly buy out something out of that winning rather than losing those money into thin
air by playing gambling again.Normally when you do won jackpots or big sum, then you would do ask for more but
people who are aware into their doings and sensible enough will surely make these steps where we do buy up our needs
yet this kind of opportunity do comes one in a lifetime and cherishing it will be the most worthy thing that should be done.

At first congratulations to winner, it's an amazing amount, especially during current situation and upcoming economic crisis. This is a time when people really have to hardly spend any money in unnecessary things.
Well, OP, he may gamble again because of the reason that you stated but there is another factor too: What you got out of thin air is easy to let go but when you did hard work just to get something, then it's very hard to let it go.
But hope he will be smart, especially right now.

Actually I have mixed feelings about his situation. On the one hand he was smart enough to spend £50,000 on a house deposit right away. On the other hand, he won £110,000 on a roulette game just a week later, which means, considering that the max payout on roulette is 35x, that he was betting with more £3,000 at once, betting on a single number. Not the safest betting strategy, if you ask me. With that kind of betting he could lose the remaining money, £200k+, the same day. So, it's kind of hard to believe that he will stop gambling completely.

His family is lucky to have him who is not tempted to strike more while the iron is hot, it's very rare usually gamble half of their earnings and hoping that the winnings continue and they have nothing to lose since they are holding to half of their winnings his family he never came back to try more.

[smyslov]

That's a huge amount it's worth a fortune here in our country honestly I could not stop gambling because that's where my fortune came if I am in that situation, I will still allocate maybe 20% of my winning but this time I will just have some fun and just be entertained.

[panganib999]

It his own choice and will if ever he will already stop playing gambling after winning such big rewards with just out of his boredom. He was really that lucky enough to win great rewards from two games that reach £400,000. Well, maybe it his gut feel that since he have already won such large amount with two tries, it will be good to seize the moment to already stop gambling for he might think that the moment he won is his luckiest time and he do not want to loose all his winnings for another one because the win is purely due to luck. It seems that he have already thought that if he will continue testing his luck if he continue gambling, instead of experiencing wins, he might get into the other way which he have already prevented to happen while he can still manage to quit. With the amount he have gained, he can already start his own business in which way he might make his money grow rather than playing gambling again. Let us just see if he would play gambling once again because there are cases that once a people experience win on gambling, he will surely give another shot to test his luck of winning again.

On most countries then well this amount is really a big one which is already enough for you to have a decent life.Allocating 20%
back or budgeting on gambling is not bad but you cant still be sure if you wont go over that limit.The more time you engage
with gambling the higher the possibility of spending those funds back is high and might even cause for breaking it all even
to the gambling house.The decision has been made on whats being mentioned on op was really a good choice where
he do buy up something more important.

[bct_ail]

That  is awesome. I really hope he does not challenge his luck again. But that is pretty possible. People think, it can happen again. That Is nearly the same in trading. Many people wants more and more and then the train has already leaving the train station.

[robelneo]

The guy who does this is not really hooked in gambling, because if he is he will continue gambling, he is educated enough to know the many pitfalls and traps brought by gambling to people who don't know how to gamble and how to stop, this is rare and he should be congratulated because that was such a feat.

[MFahad]

Most likely he will come back after spending his winnings. If we already experience how to win we are thinking that the next time we gamble the chances to win again is high its on our mindset. But it depends on our luck we cant rely to our past experience or strategies because if you're not lucky then your chance to win is slim.

Stop gambling and enjoy the winnings but spend it wisely. But they say the money you acquire easily is very easy to spend compared to the money you earn from hard work because you will value every cent of it.

I think the same, quitting while you are ahead is very difficult because most gamblers at that point are going to think on all the profits they are leaving behind if they quit, and while we know that is not true that is the way many gamblers think, so once the money begins to run out he is most likely going to try to gamble once again and most likely he is not going to be as lucky next time and that is going to put him in an even worse situation than the one he was at the beginning of all of this.

He is brave enough to quit at a right time. Many gamblers after winning such big amounts become greedy and take wrong decision or keep on playing more until they lose all. £400,000 is a big amount and he is one of the few persons for whom the lock down is a blessing.

^ This should be good news here is that somebody won a huge amount and decided to quit while still ahead. He won twice because of luck and decided to quit for now because of what he already has but for how long he can stand on his decision for people has a mindset of once they were able to do it then they can do it again. Hopefully, he has all the guts to stand on his decision because it comes back and gambles again to try his luck he probably ends up losing everything.  And one more idea that I want to point out on this is, wouldn't it be another form of advertisement to entice everyone in playing online casinos especially this time of lockdown when we all have plenty of time that we may spend in gambling.

[BitcoinsGreat]

I also wish he remain firm in his decision and do not gamble again. Many a times when people won something big, they make big commitment with themselves but with the passage of time, they forget their words. He is very lucky to win this amount and he should do business with it, and not gambling.

[Natsuu]

If he has that gambling mindset, definitely, he can still fall for that thought that he can extend his luck and go chase for another windfall. I myself won big in a land based casino and in less than 24 hours I'm back again and hoping that I will get lucky. Not the best thing to do!!

Lightening only strikes once, if you get lucky and win big then the best solution is to get out when you can, there is nothing wrong in gambling with a limited budget but once you go in with the mentality to win big again and again then once you start loosing your adrenaline will carve you to chase down the loss and once that happen you end up loosing everything you won, if that guy can stay away then he is well and good if not he will end up loosing.

Gambling isn't just a game for some people. Might in people who have a lot of cash in there hands. Gambling is a one way ticket to being a millionaire and at the same time for being a poor one. We don't know gambling outcomes because it is a game where you can't control because for me it has a 50-50 chance of winning always. Large amount of earnings in gambling is a major success because not all people who gamble doesn't win yet end up being broke on their budget.

This man who won a large amiunt of money did the right thing for the best interest for himself. He can start with that money and do some other businesses. But of course he will not stop yet he have some earnings. For me gambling is a series of hsrd and dangerous decisions to make not just because it involves money but your life also.

Getting out of the game if you already won isn't bad if possible because you just only secure your earnings and you have a better strategy in order for you to enjoy playing it while ofcourse doing your main purpose which is earning. Sometimes greediness doesn't making any good outcomes more in gambling. It's all about winning, earning, losing and being broke.

In some people, gambling are their past time but for some they are considering it as a job like what others do here. But for me it is indeed a leisure and cannot be considered as a job because as long as you are continuesly playing as time passes by, it will lead to addiction and admit it or not the is the sad reality.

I don't think gambling is like a job, because we all know that it totally depends on our luck. If you take it seriously, then there is no doubt that you will be addicted on it. Look, Josh Spurling   won a large amount of money and he decided he would never gamble again. why? That doesn't mean he won't come back for fear of getting addicted, actually he is afraid of losing money. Truly he is very lucky person, his gambling luck is pretty good.  For Josh my suggestion is if he afraid of losing money, he can bet less money. I think lucky people like him should be in the gambling world. Hope he will come back again.

I don't know if he could spend it quickly since there is a lockdown

I don't think it is a necessary thing to discuss. He can spend it as fast as he wants, why not?
There are a lot of ways to spend money only in a day. But I think it is not a wise decision to spend all.

he can just spend it on food supplies.

NO. Do you think it is a must to spend all the money as soon as possible?
Indeed, he can use the money for food supplies. Or he can use some for charity or donation. At least, he can transfer the money, then he can use the money for various purposes, right? So, why the option is only food supplies? It's a big NO, mate. 

But his decision to stop while ahead means he thinks wisely.

That decision is a wise thing. But who knows he will return to gamble again in the near future. He may feel bored during this lockdown, and may decide to gamble again even he will limit the funds. 

[DarkDays]

Well, I wouldn't say that this guy is much of a regular.

He played a couple times, he hardly needed to kick a habit or anything to quit.

Him winning £400k and quitting is similar to saying a lottery winner never went back to playing the lottery, as if they were playing all the time beforehand...

Still, anybody who bets a large amount and wins is smart if they're able to quit while they're ahead. The odds are increasingly against players the more they bet, since they'll eventually lose to the house.

[Clark05]

Winning that amount of money is very high and I think once we get that winning prize I thinl better for us to quit you know why they have people who gonna get a huge amount of money are continue playing and in the end they lose the money they won they add again money from their pocket I think we really need to think when we stop playing.
