How has a significant win in gambling changed your life?

[topbitcoin]

The big win made me more addicted to gambling in the past, it made me addicted and always hope to experience the same thing again in gambling, yes it may be true that the big win changed my life but unfortunately I became more interested in gambling because of the big win and gambled blindly at other times after running out of money that had been won.

Maybe this kind of thing didn't only happen to me in the past, some people in my neighborhood also got a big win so they could buy cars and all kinds of things from gambling which in the end he also sold back what he had bought for gambling, haha this is very funny but such incidents did not happen to one person, I think Op is a pretty great person because he used the money he won to build a business and could control himself not to go further in gambling, and his gambling remained regular despite getting a big win.

I have won some nice prizes here thanks to a bookmaker (DirectBet) (I was the second player in their rank as "best gambler").
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1234109.0
Their competitions allow to maximize my expertise in betting and in some specific live events.
Well, these amounts received have not changed my life (or at least not what I think is a real "change of life") but provide some chance for other investements and other activities/collaborations and so on...

The thun is that some people has make well through gambling and some people also have lose many things through gambling, so that is why I always emphasize that gambling is all about opportunity or luck because you may participate in gambling like seriously over a two years or three years constantly and you have not benefits anything in gambling, so therefore I believe that gambling is something you can gamble and obtain profit when you manage your winning with gambling, many people who lucky enough to win a reasonable amount of fund's in gambling have become somebody now, because I could remember someone who has use gambling money to build a renting apartment and till date it still fetching the person more fund's.

One thing you must understand is that many people has their plans of gambling and if they wins they established themselves through the money they have gotten from their winnings, meaning these sets of people are opportunist waiting for to secure winning from gambling to established themselves. While there are people who already made it big time for themselves and just decides to gamble to make themselves happy not necessarily mean that they are believing on gambling to make money, so when the money comes like any little winning they got it and could be used to fuel back their gambling exercise.

When I started gambling a few years ago, I won a pretty big amount of money and that opened new doors for me to pursue new business ventures. Some of these ideas panned out and some flopped miserably, but I still managed to generate some money from the the ventures that were successful.

I now have something that can generate some "passive" income and something that needs a lot of my time and attention, but overall it improved my quality of living and it encouraged me to follow my dreams.

I still gamble, but not as much as I did before... because time management has become an issue. This will not secure my retirement, but it gives me some freedom to experiment with more ideas. (I still need to work between 8 to 10 hours per day.... and weekends, but I have something to fall back on, if something bad happens)

Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.  

Your experience seems like you got a very big win from gambling that could change your life to where you are today, unfortunately I never got a big win that could make me change my life for the better or could be used to open a new business.

Maybe from some winnings I don't go back to gambling, but from all that nothing can change my life at all, it sucks until I almost give up, and think it's better to work on what I have to work on, what do you think about people like me sir who have never experienced big wins during their gambling experience, should I keep gambling or focus on my business?

Good for you and this is usually happens into those people who do have that kind of sensibility or awareness into their actions on which it would really be causing up for them to have that actions on the moment that they would be able to encounter such condition. If you are someone whose really that mindful about your future and doesnt really want to mess up your financial status or condition then pretty sure you would really be mainly thinking about those other things on which you do know that it could give out that potential profits or passive income on which you wont really be that trying out to be that depending into your 8-5 job. We are really that thriving or doing our very best on trying to achieve such success because passive income could really be the pinnacle of success or on the moment that you could provide everything without doing much work.

This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be securing up some wins if ever you have win up some significant amount on which putting up into that much more worth
rather than on losing it back again in o the house. This is why you should really be that sensible on the things or actions you would really be that making.

Since I started gambling for more so many years now, I have not recorded any huge wins that can be enough to invest in any asset that can generate more income. As a matter of fact, I have even said I spent a lot of money in gambling compared to what I have benefited from it, because if you win and don't stop gambling, you will still be losing the money gradually until you have lost all the winnings you made initially without realizing it. Although I normally use my winnings for important things,  the money might not be significant, but it serves a good purpose most of the of the time.

[Juse14]

Until now I have never found my big luck in gambling. When gambling I spend more money than I win. Some of the small wins that I got were just sweeteners given by gambling sites, perhaps with the aim of making me always curious about gambling and continuing to bet.

Being able to win big at gambling is something I have dreamed of since I first entered the world of gambling. Because through this big win, it might be able to change my life and financial situation instantly. However, this is just a daydream, because being able to get a big win is not just one thing; which is quite easy, and could even be said to be impossible, considering that the possibility of getting it is very small. Therefore, personally I cannot rely on gambling to change my life and financial condition. To get a better life and have financial freedom, we have to take real and rational steps. However, if we get our luck in gambling, then never waste this opportunity.

I have nut really make such a significant money from gambling but I am always ready and waiting for when that time will commenced. Gambling is fun and I have learn from the hard way to always bet on games that could earn me profits not trying random games at the same time just to make money from gambling. Addiction is one thing we might keep getting from gambling if we are not smart and vigilant enough to know when to bet and when not to bet. I can make money from gambling and keep the record if I feel like especially when the money is big and I can't just keep it to myself.

Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.  

I'm one of those who expect little to almost nothing from a casino winning. I don't place bets with large amounts, so I don't even expect a life-changing win from it as well, but if that happens, it will be an added advantage to achieving my dream real quick.
 
and I won't even mess around with the winnings as I have always learned how to take profit from whatever I involve myself in, be it crypto or gambling, no matter how small, so my big wins have not gone back to the casino because I have not had one and won't even go back if I ever have one.

[Doan9269]

I still want to believe that not all gamblers have experienced the so called significant win, because by the way of interpretation, a significant win could be in having a huge win like for someone to win a jackpot, but not everyone of us might have been privilege in this category, despite in which we might have been winning over time but not in a significant figure, either of the case, we can still record a successful achievement even with the little we may have won from gambling.

The thing is some times we would try possible best to predict multiple games and when we finally placed the bets all of a sudden we mange to get some lucky winning but those wins are little compared to what we want. And the truth is we can not will a million dollars of we don't predict to win a million dollars. Am only trying to say that only the amount we predict that we can win. Unless the jackpot his out tickets, and the chance of jackpots is just 1% and we are not even sure about. Even if we haven't won a big cash from gamble the thing is a gambler will always have hope that one day he will win big amounts, but one can't win big amounts when he's not betting on higger odds.

For the title OP How has a significant win in gambling changed your life? , this is my answer;

There is no circumstance that can change my life when I get a big victory in gambling. On average, every victory obtained from gambling only feels the usual because the money from gambling victory is also intended to gamble again even though I have used several opportunities to pay electricity bills and the internet and buy cigarettes or other snacks.
Hope the feelings that can change my life from gambling do not exist.

Gambling! It's a coin of two different faces and as a gambler your story about gambling majorly depends on which face of the coin your experience lies. Gambling as I know has made some people, changed their quality of life with just one huge lucky win and simultaneously it has also mar and destroy the quality of life of others too.
Just as you've rightly said, every gambler just have to manage to ensure they stay in control of how they gamble not to get ruined by it and in pleasant situations where you get a chance of earning a win, be it a reasonable amount or not what should be is that you make good use of the money to add value to your affairs.

Seriously, I am surprised to see someone win a good amount of money from gambling and decide to divert the money into other things. Most people that I know who are gamblers, after winning from gambling, they do end up losing the money back on gambling all in the name of trying to win more amounts, and some do end up spending the money on things that are not really necessary.
 
But even if you have the mindset of diverting the money won from gambling to other businesses, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t gamble responsibly, because don’t be surprised that you might not even win a big amount of money from gambling, which will be enough for the business that you are planning to do.

Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.  

During the pandemic, many companies were not able to pay salaries and it affected many families. The government had announced a lockdown that would last for a few weeks and there was no money to buy foodstuffs that will last this three weeks. I had to risk some money I took from someone to gamble. It was a day I will never forget in my life. I was just so lucky that I won big after a few games. I immediately called one of my family members to come around the betting shop and I withdrew all the money I won and gave her part of it to rush to the market to buy foodstuffs. I used the other part of my win as backup funds for the period of the lockdown. That was how gambling saved my family from trouble.

It did go back into the casino honestly. All my life gambling I have only two significant wins and the first time was when I started gambling. So along the line, I noticed it was a bad idea to leave money in my casino account when I had a big win and I regretted if I had removed the money there wouldn't have been any temptation to gamble more with the money.

When I had my second big win I immediately removed the money so that I won't make the same mistake twice. Only left a few dollars in case I needed to gamble later on. Yes, it did work so well because it is better when you win to take your profits, and when you lose you accept it as well.

You actually have a good advantage of your big win in gambling since you were able to achieve a business with it, unlike me, where the biggest win I had in gambling and what I used it for ended up crashing due to some minor unexpected. Even with the biggest win I got in gambling, I was able to use the money to buy some stocks so that I can sell them in the future, but unfortunately, the plans that I saved the stocks for were totally burned down by fire.
 
I was very sad when the incident happened, but I still continue to gamble, and up until now I have not been able to win anything big, so I sometimes feel like maybe I was not meant to be a gambler, but I just keep gambling and am not still addicted to it. That is why I think I will get lucky one day if I don’t give up.

Congratulations on your win, and especially that you managed to turn it into something lucrative instead of blowing them away in gambling, something that a large number of gamblers would have done. I highly doubt there are many users here who have won a life-changing amount of money. I personally haven't had any significant wins that could alter my daily life, and I doubt I'll ever have due to my gambling style. The most I've won is approximately $130 to $150; I don't remember exactly, and it was through sports betting.

It is good to use money won from gambling to start up something that can generate good income. The mistake people make is that is after they might have won big from gambling they alway have this mentality that if they gamble they will always have the chance to win big again. Winning is good but some gamblers who don't understand gambling very well always allow their big win to be a trap for them by chasing more wins which can also lead to more lose. Gambling is a game of luck which gamblers needs to understand it very well and never be carried away and still maintain the limit of their gambling style .
