Some Crazy Fun Facts About Casinos And Gambling You Might Not Know.

[fullhdpixel]

Women do know when to steal the show, on the given link by @OP I read that the first legal Casino license is issued to a woman.  I was like wth, gambling is dominated by males during those times let alone by mobsters and gangsters.  So I was surprised when the first legal Casino is established by a woman named Mayme Stocker in 1920 for the Northern Club.  She was a wife and a mother, but her husband does not support her so she pushed its legality and opened the Casino herself.[1]

It's interesting not only on the casino/business part but also on the part where he work her way up all by herself or without the help of his husband but I think her inspiration of doing it is her kids. She knows that she needs to earn money to support them. I think she also started the in dependency of women that they can also do what usually men can do and they can stand on their own. That's a great mentality though.

The woman on the story did only started a business and she isn't the one that plays gambling. It was still men who are more prone to gambling that time while women do also have their own way to entertain themselves.

Awesome share op. Didn't know about majority of these facts. The best one among them was the one about Macau being the gambling capital of the world since I always thought that it was Vegas.

I've been to Vegas which was crazy hot(Even during the night) and observed how most gamblers only cared about slots. I can easily remember the slot machine sounds very clearly.

Some .any interesting gambling facts are so available on the internet if you want to see more of all these facts. I just need to go through them several times because it worth reading multiple times. A lots of crazy things are happening in the gambling world and we should not be oblivion of them.

Not only on gambling but also in other industries as well on which there are really things which havent been known fully but its true that whenever you do make out some in depth research then you would
eventually find lots of things which we didnt able to expect that it did really happen thats why we shouldnt really be surprised but the facts stated on OP are indeed shocking ones.We didnt even expect
that it did really happen considering that gambling is just an entertainment but peoples actions are really something that is unbelievable that it could really happen nor someone could able to do it
due to gambling addiction or any other things related to it which majority of us i do believe doesnt really even know about it.

Reading about the risky adventure of the FEDEX CEO I was pushed to imagine what will have happened fo the global shipping company if the whole money the CEO gambled with was lost.

But thank goodness he made it out and that action have to change the faith of the company for life now FedEx is a global name and all thanks to the CEO who understood the place of risk in every aspect of life and was courageous enough to take the bold step and risking everything

The money won on the casino doesn't change the fate of FEDEX, it was the motivation brought by winning.  It was stated that the FEDEX CEO took the winnings and get out of the casino having a new motivations in his mind.  So it was said that he viewed the winnings as hopeful sign that things would go up from there. [1]

The $27,000 wasn't the solution to all of their problems, but Smith viewed it as a hopeful sign that things would go up from there. He used the money as motivation to obtain more funding, and eventually raised another $11 million.

It is not really difficult to imagine what would have happened to the company in the case he had lost, most likely no one would have ever heard of FedEx and instead we will have another company doing the same function, maybe not as efficiently as FedEx does it but we will have a decent replacement, but without a doubt it is way more interesting for the founder of FedEx to have saved his company by playing blackjack, and even if this is obviously something that should not be recommended or encouraged it still makes for a hell of a story.

It serves as his motivation to continue his business and never give up. Well, he succeed and though he once tried to take a big risk through gambling, it resulted to a positive outcome. But in reality, would you dare to do the same if you're in the position? It takes a lot of guts like what the Fedex ceo did. That's why it's interesting to know this kind of story about gambling knowing there are people who managed to change their lives for trying to play the last money they have.

Of course it would have been a forgotten dream with the CEO if he didn't take to play the lucky game. I don't know how he got the courage to taste the fate of stroke of luck to hit the jackpot. My question is if he didn't get that come back, would he have given up or if he had any other artifice to build his FedEx company back ?

CEO's do take a big risk on their business but taking risk on playing a gambling with the stake of your company is pretty hardcore in my own opinion. Imagine that the all hardworking days you offer to your company would go down into one night session of playing gambling. I just hope that FedEx won't be on that kind of state again, It would be a hard decision for the CEO on what will he do especially that FedEx is a big company now. Will he resort into playing gambling again for the second time incase his company go into the same situation again?

Under normal circumstances when a gambler bets everything including decisions from desperation but luck accompanies him until he hits the jackpot, then he focuses on using those funds to grow his company. But if you ask how it was otherwise if he lost that bet then we don't know after that but I'm sure he will come back to FedEx and he keeps trying again to raise funds from other jobs. I think everyone who has the spirit of an entrepreneur should not be discouraged before his hopes will be achieved in the future.

To this maybe he would have come back after the trouble of trying to raise money because of passion for what he loved doing. Passion is a very strong factor that will push for someone who had already seen his falling business liquidating in his eyes, then taking such a risk was I guess good portion for him.

I do not think that the FEDEX CEO is gambling with the stake of his company.  What he gambled is his own money and luckily he won.  He didn't sell any share of the company and gambled.  The CEO probably just wanted to take a breather after an intoxicating event on the company.  And he get what he wanted, with bonuses ..  additional cash and new motivation to solve the problem of his company.

at least you give time reading the OP? if not then I will share this part for you to understand how and what does it mean.

1. The Founder Of FedEx Saved The Company By Gambling In Vegas.



        Here's an inspiring story for aspiring gamblers and small business owners: the founder of FedEx saved his floundering company by gambling in Vegas, earning $27,000 in blackjack! The company only had $5,000 in its coffers when Frederick Smith decided to fly to Vegas in 1973 and risk it all. Though this isn't good investment or business advice in general, Smith's gamble paid off, allowing the company to last long enough to raise $11 million and eventually earn its first profits in 1976.

Look at that, the company's money in the coffers in which the only fund that company has back then , so its clear that it was the company's fund in which he tries and risk to gamble.

Well, to tell the truth, what this being did was from another world, and the truth is that it is to have them well placed, I wonder now, what will happen to current businessmen if they find themselves in trouble? I think that now it is much more focused on camaraderie and they should help each other, right? because really risking everything in a casino is something very crazy, well I see it that way, maybe there are people who consider this relevant to what they were going through, but something must be clear, that with those $5k they were not going to raise absolutely nothing, a company of this caliber is currently still one of the world leaders, good for that being who did that!

Hmm peeing is crazy, but it's not fun at all.

If you ever worked as a cleaner or just at any restaurant or fast food especially where you will for sure have to do some cleaning, you'll definitely agree with me.

This is the part of gambling I don't enjoy, where people are no longer having fun and already addicted and people just stand by and feed off them.

This is definitely crazy and very inappropriate. Just imagine how the whole casino smells when all the gamblers just keep on peeing on the floor. This is too much addiction that they can’t even leave their tables just to urinate for a second. Although there are cleaners assigned but I think this is still too much. I wonder how the operator of this casino deals with this and tolerate their gamblers actions.

They shouldnt tolerate those users or gamblers who do commit out those kind of messy behavior on where peeing or defecating on the said venue or building which they should really be banned and wont be allowed

to go inside because its not really that right on having those kind of acts.Cant be denied that they are making huge money or revenue with those gambling addicts but its not tolerable into those people who just

crossed the border line yet those establishments does have comfort rooms whenever you do feel that you do need to pee or something else.Its not bad on having some pause on doing the right thing.

[bitterguy28]

 with those $5k they were not going to raise absolutely nothing, a company of this caliber is currently still one of the world leaders, good for that being who did that!

Well that is back in 1976 when I think 5k is really a Money , if we will going to compare that amount these days yeah it may do nothing but back then  this is absolutely a big amount.
But Yeah I must admit that the person who did this made a successful life out of gambling.
yet still wont going to advise people in similar situation to do what FEDEX owner did .

That is really what will be a game changer , if they did not manage to even double the money and the worst scenario is if they lose all that money , Fedex would be dead by then.

I think that now it is much more focused on camaraderie and they should help each other, right?

agree totally , no doubt about that.

because really risking everything in a casino is something very crazy, well I see it that way, maybe there are people who consider this relevant to what they were going through, but something must be clear, that with those $5k they were not going to raise absolutely nothing, a company of this caliber is currently still one of the world leaders, good for that being who did that!

Well that craziness brings them to success , so it means both the team and company benefits from this crazy action

dont worry about that because if the FED EX did not made it there? then surely there will be other shipping company that will serve us or much better than what fedex did.

But thank goodness he made it out and that action have to change the faith of the company for life now FedEx is a global name and all thanks to the CEO who understood the place of risk in every aspect of life and was courageous enough to take the bold step and risking everything

I don't know what would be the faith of shipping business if the trend changes to fedex , but for me? i will not deal with that same action if giving a chance to decide .

If they want to maintain their casino's orderliness and cleanliness, they should have zero tolerance to misconduct and unpleasant behaviors. This clearly disrespects the establishments as well as the owner's effort to build a place for them to play. Even if the players are the reason why a casino is running, it doesn't give them the right to make a mess out of someone's property and business. People who act like wild animal should receive a punishment such as temporary restriction from entering the casino's premises or outright and permanent ban from the establishments.

It's just so gross to even think about a smelly casino. It's horrible to even be in one because the addiction of the players is just too much to the point that getting up their seat for a minute just to satisfy their call of nature can't be done and instead just pees on the floor like an uncultured and ignorant swine. I hope there would be no establishment and gambling owner to allow such things from happening in their property because it will appear that they are tolerating and enabling them from acting as such which is not really a good example and will definitely harm the players in the long run.
