Gambling success stories

[YOSHIE]

It got me thinking whether people think that gambling success stories can only be if you recover from gambling? Is that really the end goal? To rid of gambling as an activity?

It seems that it applies to those who are not addictive, in reality for those who I see and succeed in gambling, they remain Gambling endlessly, even though they won millions of dollars and until the end of the story they suffered a big loss.

Yes, it can be for those who are not addicted, success may be the end of them involved in gambling, not much request for them once wins in large quantities stopped completely in gambling.
That fact has happened in my environment, where indeed once in a large number of business the main goal of stopping gambling the final destination now he lives happy with the business.

I tried searching for the best gambling stories and the ones that popped up were full of gambling recoveries. A lot of them highlighted of how gambling ruined their life but for some reason, usually one involving religion, they got better. I was expecting more of stories where a gambler won a significant amount. Extreme lucky kind of stories.

It's good to hear stories about people that hit a jackpot but the most inspiring stories are the people that went through gambling addiction and were able to pull through, Inspite of how hard it is to tackle this habit. To me this is the real success story. We all know that stopping any type of addiction isn't easy most especially gambling addiction.The real win comes the day you stop being an addict

There are tons of gambling success stories, and many of them are not posted here in Bitcointalk. There were lotto winners, there were those who made jackpot bets on underdogs and won huge, and they were not posted online for security reasons, if you're only looking at what's posted here in Bitcointalk its extracted from outside sources or our members experiences. Still, the fact remains that some of the best success stories are not posted online.

I don't think so, but it's worth sharing because it's a big struggle battling addiction, it's a demon within that you have to beat, and you alone can win it, which is why it's a success story.

If you recover from gambling addiction, it's enough to call it a success story. When you also made a large win after years of winning peanuts and steady losses in gambling, it could also be considered a gambling success story.

If there is any user which I can recall about his or her gambling success story, it should be @GxSTxV.  I have read a story about the user here in the forum shared by himself and how he was able to handle and come out of addiction; such a story is a success story. Once you pull off from something which is as rough as stable losing and addiction, it should be celebrated.

Imho, I think the greatest of all times gambling success stories shouldn't be reckoned to be of people who made some huge jackpots but about those who were able to against all odds rediscover themselve and bounce out of gambling addiction to becoming responsible and well disciplined gamblers instead.  It's something that's remarkable than some huge wins. Anyone can be lucky to win a jackpot but not everyone survives or escapes from  the web of gambling addiction.

It is not easy to really find such stories in common. Most will have to be recovery stories because when a gambler mindset focus on wining and they did win at their first trial, they’re not giving up but will still comeback to bet again hoping to win again. If they win or lose, they will continue in that manner until they get addicted, meanwhile they would have lose more than they won. So whenever they get a big recovery, they term is as success story. The first win won’t move them to be termed as success story because at that time, they have not really gotten use to it or know the pain of loss in order to celebrate a worthy win.

Recovery is a great success story because when you compare it to trading; after series of loss, in the end when the trader becomes profitable, he tell his success story from that big win which is also a big recovery on his path. Success stories are beyond just this but mostly found within happenings like this ones.

The story of winning in gambling is a lot --- the media has reported this from moderate wins to tens of millions of dollars, these stories go viral because of the crazy wins, only does the story of winning gambling make them better or stop? We don't know the next story.

In gambling, you won't see many stories about its success, it would be too sweet to be true, especially for those who have never felt it, but for those who win a large amount then stop and switch to another business, then that great person can leave gambling.

The gambling is full of surprises there’s some of people that will win huge amounts of money in gambling, but it will be very hard to see them share stories online or with their friends and the reason why they some people are doing that kind of thing is that just for security purposes. Because if some people huge amounts of money, they will be afraid to make it loud so that they can be safe with arrogant people.

The gambling is not about that the success can be achieved not till a person recovery from the gambling, but some of people are sharing their stories after they recovered big winners. Because most of people are battling a lot before they can win in a gambling; and that’s why some get easily to get addicted to the gambling.

Well it depends on how people tend to see gambling, most success stories differs ranging from different aspects it could be a win, a recovery, a loss, an addiction but what's important that one could be able to come out successful in that gambling acts, so it doesn't mean that one recovering from addiction isn't a success stories. It simply depends on how you see it though cause being able to be successful in gambling activities involves a whole lot.

Naaah... maybe it's only lottery winners who become a lot of stories, just by buying 1 ticket and then getting a million dollar jackpot it makes a splash in the media, but we never know how much he lost in gambling?

Because the odds of winning lottery are out of the odds given by any casino and odd providers, it's one in millions chances, thats why its always on the news. Knowing those average earner or low middle earner only or say mostly bet on lotteries, their wins is still so huge compare to what they spend on tickets or consider as lost on gambling.

The winning ratio in the lottery is (probably) 1:1000000.

It's certain... especially those with average middle incomes, so when they win the Lottery Jackpot, it changes their lives drastically, it becomes the talk of the town if someone wins the lottery.

From the many tickets they buy, even hundreds of tickets, if they win, it covers all their losses.

Hardly gamblers share successful stories like a huge win mainly because they still enjoy the fun alongside betting although we see different kinds of win online yet the best advice anyone could share is gamble wisely. Definitely getting rid of gambling activity can be someone’s goal and it’s considered as a success story most especially if the person has struggled a lot to change yet no progress, like I said earlier gambling activity is not meant to stress our mental health and if anyone should go through this they should take a break, if anyone decides to share how they dealt with the situation it’s great because they might be helping others.

To be honest, for me. As long as the gambler considers it as a gambling success story but how they are telling it to us, I will not argue.

We have some standards that we're keeping to ourselves but I won't cutting the consideration why they're telling it as a success story.

A recovery story or someone that's able to hit a jackpot, if the story teller tells them that either of them is they've been through, I'll be glad to listen.

It's good to hear stories about people that hit a jackpot but the most inspiring stories are the people that went through gambling addiction and were able to pull through, Inspite of how hard it is to tackle this habit. To me this is the real success story. We all know that stopping any type of addiction isn't easy most especially gambling addiction.The real win comes the day you stop being an addict

i guess it is also good since it doesn’t show that you can work your way through success when it comes to gambling

if people are being reported for getting rich in gambling all the time, others may believe that it is so easy and would try it themselves with the hopes of getting rich

This is the reality, you don't need to go far, just go through threads in the gambling forum, you will see reports of gambling success stories.  I believe these stories are not made up because they come with proof, sometimes they are posted not because they want to draw attention towards their victory but it comes with much excitement that they make the bets go public.

The rule of maintaining proper gambling courtesy is to gamble according to your bankroll, if you do excess, then you have a bad gambling approach that needs to be fixed.

Similar to what you said. The most aspiring stories to me are those claimed they can never be addicted but slowly got addicted and at the end admit they are addicted while trying a way to recover from it and they did at last. These people are always against others that are addicted but one way or another got addicted in the process of claiming they wont. After passing through all the ups and down and finally scale through addiction, they have more to share to people who just started gambling so they don't have that initial feeling, and they could periodically share the signs of how getting addicted can look like you are not near addiction.

Success means different things to people, for someone who is addicted, having the courage and ability to recover from that addiction and become a better person for themselves and their family is success. However, for a gambler who is not an addict and who does not gamble more than they can afford to lose, then success would be hitting a huge amount of money that would change their life and there are a few stories like that you can find.

If you want to see gamblers being successful and getting money out their sessions, then all you have to do is logging into Twitter/X and follow accounts of lotteries and some casinos. They tend to highlight when some gambler using their services is having a very lucky session, pocketing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars at the time.
That is specially true with lotteries, it is a very good advertisement for lotteries to let people know they actually okey those who are extremely lucky.

I believe you simply are looking for gambling success stories in the wrong place OP, as the internet is full of them. They are rarer than stories about people losing all their money and regretting betting into gambling, but success stories do indeed exist.

I enjoy hearing gambling success stories, how a gambling punter grow from the very grass to the top. The path they walk is not an easy one and in the face of other oppositions, they walk and succeed. Although not everyone make it out to the top in gambling, we have the vast numbers that have been ruined by gambling.

Slow down with the greatness, it gotta take time. Success can not be achieve overnight but with immense consistent handwork, it will pay off. Yea yea, I concord with your points when it comes to two entire perspectives. There are more I to dot and T to cross. Gambling is for the strong and not for the weak. There are more recommendations coming in to hear more about gambling success stories and X is definitely one platform.

Success isn’t made in an instant, as it may take consistent failures first prior to hitting the goal of success. Now for example those who won on lottery betting may not be considered real success if it only passed through one or two losses, but if you mean to say you have been betting for almost 25 years and consistently losing, and surprisingly you hit the jackpot prize today, that’s a real story of success in gambling. It’s not just luck alone, but a combination of patience and determination to win as well.

Poker as an activity generates many good and bad stories; perhaps you haven't looked there, since traditional games are a different story.

A very respectable poker player mentioned that the goal in poker is the long term, and maintaining a bankroll that allows for that is the key to success. This doesn't necessarily mean becoming a millionaire, as it ends up turning your passion for the game into a job that pays the bills, and that, for him, is success as a poker player.

A lottery is a bit different, when you start playing you already know that the chances of winning are very low. But at the same time you know that if you do win you will instantly get a big prize. In betting it works differently, you place a bet and expect results right away. You will not have a situation where you lose for 25 years and then one day hit the jackpot. In betting you keep track of your stats and you can have several wins and losses even in a single day. But when you win you do not get a jackpot so everything is calculated differently here.
