Casino can play a role in changing fortune?

[lionheart78]

Unfortunately, not everyone could hit the jackpot and it is only meant for a few people so we should not rely on our fortune on gambling. Gambling could make lives better and worse for others so we all must know how to deal with the possibilities.
The person in the story is both lucky and wise because he used his jackpot to rebuild his life. Contentment sometimes is a great move.

Hitting the jackbot to the extent a gambler will become a rich person in life is not easy, even not that this can happen to few people because it can not happen to few people, it is only happening to 1 person out of millions, so saying few people is like you are overstating it.

Few people is the correct term I guess and it is not overstating.  See, 1 is a single person 2 is more than 1 and can be group as few, in the history of gambling there are several winners of jackpot already specially in national Lotto.  So these few people already had a life-changing opportunity given by gambling activity

While many would agree that few means three or more, the dictionary definition is, “not many but more than one.” So, a few cannot be one, but it can be as low as two.

we should know that no money can come from gambling

So how can you explain the winnings of people from playing gambling?  Just like in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5404841.0

It's an exception but never a rule, in a lottery there's only one winner out of million bettors and the house edge always has the edge, in the long run.

The guy is just extremely lucky to win that amount and get his business back again, FedEx has gone to become a big company I don't know much about the character of the owner but winning a big amount and not trying it again for more is a sign of a strong character.

[Smartprofit]

Many of us who play casinos, suffer more or less. Many are blaming it again that it is a money-losing machine. In this regard I would like to share a success history by playing casino game. It is only for knowing the truth especially those are don't know the fact.

Many of us may know the name of an international courier service known as FedEx. This courier service company headquarter is in Tennessee, USA. FedEx currently distributes about 1.2 billion parcels a year in 220 countries with an annual revenue of about 3 billion. Smith, founder of FedEx, started his business with 84 million us dollar. At that time he started operations in 35 countries with 8 planes. But at one stage, the price of plane fuel increased and that contemporary time courier service did not become very popular. His company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Smith come back to Las Vegas feeling sad. At that time Las Vegas was known as the capital of casinos. He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week. Smith come back to FedEx headquarter and invest his money on his company even though his money was not enough to run the company but with his hard work and enthusiasm he arranged to send all the parcels. in this way he established his company.

This is really a good success of smith as well as FedEx with the favor of Casino. By the way, i am not sharing it to encourage anyone to the casino.

In my opinion, Smith's story is inspiring! 

He used his luck (winning at the casino) to start a successful business.  Business is an iterative process of generating profits.  A successful international courier business is capable of generating millions of US dollars in profit per year for its owner.  This is a great achievement! 

Smith made the right decision when he started playing roulette in Las Vegas with his last remaining money.  When Smith won, he managed to stop and not play again. 

He had a big goal in life.  He knew what he wanted.  It is important

His company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Smith come back to Las Vegas feeling sad. At that time Las Vegas was known as the capital of casinos. He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week.

Stories like this is what makes people that are also in desperate need for money try their luck on gambling. Not everyone is lucky like Smith and also not greedy like him. There are people that spends all of their money, become bankrupt and still won't earn anything. There are also others who are able to earn decent amount of money from gambling but they just lose it again because of their greediness to earn more from it.

[Sirait]

This story has something positive about his winning on casino that have helped him make his business progress. If there is no hardwork after he made the $27000 out of $5000 he couldn't have turned himself to be successful in his business. So, it is all about the hard work rather than his luck. We've got more such lucky stories, where they made millions out of Casinos. But, in Smith's story hardwork have got a major role.

I agree with you, this is Smith's success story in taking advantage of the opportunities he got from gambling. The reality that happens outside is that more people lose because of gambling than those who succeed because of gambling. the positive thing we have to take from smith is that he doesn't miss the opportunities he gets (wins from gambling) and the result of his hard work is his success in growing his company.

[bekti3]

I've heard this story in several news and articles and it is indeed a pretty good story because with it he can start again although slowly but he can reach this point now.
Still, on the other hand, things like this can only happen to a few lucky people because sometimes gambling can change luck, but sometimes there are more losses.
Although this is a good story, it certainly cannot be used as a reference that gambling can bring more luck to some people.

That's true.

If it's with other people and common ones like us, we're bound to lose it. Well, we can say that he's an exceptional guy and his experience wanting him to go further which made him his fortune and success.

I don't want to sound like praising him or want. IMHO, an opportunity that can be seen in gambling is entirely different from the usual opportunities that we get that are related to business and other typical opportunities.

Sounds like a "cool story", if you know what i mean.
27 000 dollars for such company as FedEx this is nothing. Is like 27 cent for you. Will they help you? I doubt it.

And of course, Smith could lose his 5000 dollars and then jump out of the window. Much more probable outcome than such "success story".

The amount won does not help but the psychological impact does.  It boosted his confidence in dealing with the company's problems resulting in more rational thinking which leads to an innovative way of solving the company's problems.  As a result not only did he solve the crisis but even make his company even greater.  Motivation at its finest.

And of course, Smith could lose his 5000 dollars and then jump out of the window. Much more probable outcome than such "success story".

True every story has its counterpart if the result is different.  He might end up selling his company if he goes out of that Casino empty-handed and depressed.

[bitzizzix]

I thought Smith was destined to be a successful man, and the bankruptcy problem that befell him was a test. Because of his hard work and not giving up easily, he made a lot of money from the casino and made it rise and become successful again.
and I think many people are successful or make money from gambling because they gamble for a good cause and after that is achieved they focus on their business, this story is similar to my friend's that distinguishes he is just a small businessman and capitalizes on gambling winnings.
He was not an active gambler and after achieving his goal he stopped gambling and focused on his business.

I only thought about his luck and how to revive the company. He doesn't look like a businessman who is greedy for the money he won from gambling because he managed to invest his winnings to run the wheels of his company. I don't think the story is particularly surprising because there are actually a lot of success gamblers out there after winning something big, but really not everyone can be like them.

Casinos basically didn't help him but I think he was lucky enough at gambling that he was able to invest those winnings in the company he manages. The positive thing I think about him is, he doesn't forget that his company needs money to keep moving. Good.

[Finestream]

Gambling the remaining money is not the ideal way but it's still one of the few cases of winnings spent wisely.

I'm following the story of this user who won $170K at Rocketpot. While there is still uncertainty that he/she will get them all due to the casino's withdrawal limits and liquidity, that amount is already life changing to many people. We don't know for sure how he'll use it but it will certainly help his/her family. It would be great if he/she could make that money grow and come back here to share the story.

If he can use his amount of winnings to start a business, that way it could grow and become even more profitable. The amount is definitely huge and can be a good start to have his own source of income. Just like Smith, not only his gains in crypto that made him successful now, but having positive mindset and being persistent brought him to where he is now. Its okay to gamble your money in casinos, but always set limits. If you feel lucky and won huge amount, don't try to chase your luck and just go home or you may regret and feel sorry in the end.

People who are addicted to gambling are never good.  Gambling depends entirely on luck. If your luck is good then you will see that from a gamble you can change your luck at one stage. But in the case of gambling, I blame fate the most. Many people have changed their destiny a lot by focusing on this gambling. Again there are many people who have lost all meaning of their lives due to this gambling. I mean this gambling depends entirely on luck.

[dothebeats]

If you ever hit the jackpot and have the self-control to call it quits from there, you could easily turn your life around. It is embedded on the human psychology to aspire more of what they receive, even though what they have right now is more of what they previously had before. People will still chase jackpots even though they already won it once, and that right there is the start of Man's pursuit to greediness and hunger for things that they don't have. I know some people who managed to win big on casinos but still end up being in debt, usually because they still believe that the luck that they have will continue even though they are already met with a series of bad streaks.

Depends on luck definitely and what if that man had lost out that $5k he had left on gambling and never able to gain that 27k instead? For sure we would really be seeing once again that gambling would be blamed for that which it wont really be just that right because gambling is for entertainment and no one had really forced you to play on the first place and its up into your own will on spending the money whether if its your
last drop or not or simply been hoping for some recovery at least but we know that this is the baddest idea to have on considering or on making gambling as your last resort for your money to grow.
Dont live or believe with these kind of means because it would really just fucked you up most of the time but this one is an exemption once luck would really set in.

We have to pay attention to the latest update of the $170k winner and Rocketpot has only paid $16k so far, whatever the reason Rocketpot is totally unreasonable to delay the payout or maybe they don't have that much money, because the minimum payout has already been paid, so it's impossible to use that much money to start a new business unless Rocketpot gives full payouts to users who have won $170k from their casino.

And with the story that has been given as an example, that made Smith on a better track but his story is really rare.

You barely see these stories that they're actual businessmen and usually, when they're into business, the first thing they avoid is gambling.

Because they know the effect of it but on this story, it's really like the bet that he's been waiting for his life time.

All gamblers have luck but most of the time, it doesn't use for good. Most of the time, when gamblers feel lucky, they will push more for longer playing not realizing that the big profits that come out from their luck are now slowly depleting. Until everything is now zero. Regret and disappointment will follow. After recovering from that problem, they will come back again and plan to stop now if ever they will hit a big profit again. Here now comes their luck and they are now in profit but their plan on stopping didn't happen because of the mindset that they are lucky, why should they stop?

It's good to see that someone like the story shared OP learn to take advantage of his winnings and didn't fall into gambling addiction. But even though the story ended in a good and happy ending, don't ever think of gambling your last money thru risking at gambling casinos. Not all have the same destiny.

he just got lucky on this one. i hope people are not being hopeful that this kind of story will also happen to them. and with his gambling winnings, he used it wisely making his company a worldwide known freight company. not many people got their luck from gambling. but let's admit the fact that without his hard work, the company won't go anywhere.

Nice story,I didn't know this one.There are very few persons on earth compared to the earth population which in percentage is less than 0.0000001% that have experienced a life changing event by going to a casino.

The story sucks to be honest. First of all because of the percentage you mention, but is there that much difference between $5,000 and $27,000? If he had said that $5,000 got him $500,000, it would seem to me to be a considerable difference.

And besides, it was the only way he could get that $22,000 difference? I don't know, maybe taking a loan to invest in his company would have made more sense.
