Gambling success stories

[Eternad]

It's normal there are few successful stories of gamblers who made big profit, because as we know, few gamblers manage to profit on long run. So, you can expect to see many more stories about recovering gamblers and addicted gamblers, as their proportion is superior when compared to the winners' group. Moreover, there is one more aspect which makes it harder for us to find successful stories: the fact jackpot winners still face a hard time managing their prize. There are lucky winners who end wasting all the earned prize on further bets or on superfluous things and bad companions.

Just to not end this post in a melancholic format, let's share some recent news:

Gambler bets $9 on popular slot machine — then wins life-changing prize in Las Vegas

If it's going to be a successful story, only time will tell, though!

You’re right, aside from this known successful story being shared on mainstream. There’s a lot of daily, weekly and monthly winner on powerball that has a huge jackpot prize greater than most of the casino big win.

Successful story rare being broadcast since gambling loss story is much easier to find because people that experience bad on gambling is always open on admitting their experience for improvement in the future.

I guess this happens very rarely. That person was probably lucky, a real lucky one. But I think there are so few people who can win 30,000 euros from just three euros that the odds are probably one in several million. Well, this is already a success story, and it will inspire people who might want to play sometimes for a few dollars to win a big prize. And if you play a few days a week for 3 dollars, it doesn’t seem like that much.

If you learn something from your mistakes, you've won in life!
I know him personally, a great worker, he had debt problems for his former partner, he left the company and all the problems with the banks.
As a non-gambler (certainly also desperate for his situation) he tried, he still risked 3 euros, which for a person with debts is still extra money in something that trivially seems useless.
He maintained his coherence as a person with his head on his shoulders, he paid off all the debt and now starting from scratch he has built up a nice business! For me this is what happened! In gambling, however, it's just luck, which when it comes if you are a determined person and you take advantage of the opportunity, even a decent win changes your life.

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 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?

There are very few success stories of gamblers taking very big wins from casinos and bookmakers, or maybe they are just under publicized. If you look at the biggest winners from bookmakers, you'll find the majority we're related to horse racing which can provide some huge odds in comparison to the upfront bet. There are people who dropped a dollar and on 6 to 20 leg mutlibets that  ended up paying over a million. I'd say the best return you're going to find without being pulled into highly addictive betting activity, is to participate on a national lottery if your country offers it and just refrain from betting until the draw gets over a landmark number - like $100 million. That should be enough to scratch a gambling itch and buy you a dream of being a millionaire for a night.

It usually seems like gambling stories are mere recovery testimonials but in reality I have meet someone who is so successful in my opinion through gambling, infact sport betting specifically. I usually used to underestimate this man for being so passionate trying to get a big hit from spot betting but after all that happened I realised I shouldn't judge anyone. This young man gambled untill he had his major hit that give him the opportunity to open several business, even build houses and hotels from this money and now he is living a happy life. I see him everyday and I can really say gambling paid him off. Truly success stories happen in gambling.

When you win in gambling, it will be like the greatest thing to experience, since winning is very rare, so you don't have a choice. Gambling can be risky, but the joy that comes when you win is just extremely amazing. And when it comes to betting, it's especially in sports where you have to select good odds, and after selecting, there is another thing to place a bet, and it is another thing to make a win, because I don't think anyone could have imagined how interesting it can be.

And people always assume that gambling is difficult and risky, but if you look at the way things are going, you might think you won't make a good win, but consistency might just eventually pay off someday, because I have also heard of stories where people are making an exceptional win. And when there is a win, it is always good to use the money for something more meaningful so that even before you get the next win, you can use the money wisely.

Success stories are rare to find because it's more common to lose in gambling than to win and the little that won doesn't make it to big win they could share their story behind the success, having this understanding alone will enable every gambler to know what they should expect the more as they are into gambling, despite ball these information, there you will still be seeing some running after gambling fortune to make their own story.

Of course there assumptions are very much correct, it could be easy to loss but difficult to win as the possibility of lossing is 70%+ while wining is just around 30% or less. If gambling to win is certain but requires consistency I would agree with you but gambling nothing is guaranteed hence consistency in my opinion doesn't work with gambling as you can end up regretting your life after that, even though one might want to keep coming back with hopes to win it's best to do that win only amounts that are garbage from what you earn.

Aren't the success stories we read here mostly about gamblers who have experienced big winnings in gambling? These are the success stories I read most of the time.

But I have seen success stories where even though they have not experienced a winning jackpot in gambling, they can still be considered successful because despite being regular players in online casinos, they do not become addicted to gambling because they know how to handle themselves as gamblers.

The possibility of losing in gambling is high, no one can deny this, and if someone does not want to accept this fact, then no one can save him from major losses. Because the one who cannot accept this fact, he can definitely gamble uncontrollably, due to which he can lose a much larger amount of money than he can afford without knowing it. It is never possible to achieve consistent wins in gambling, rather playing repeatedly can ultimately lead to regret. Therefore, instead of always hoping to win, try to understand the reality.

This is actually a success story and most people don't realize this, they think it's all about winning a significant amount of money from that makes a person successful with it...but it's a win if you are someone that has stopped after losing for a long time, the only way to win is to stop, this is something that a recovered gambler would say but an addicted gambler wouldn't see it that way, they would continue to push their luck

The truth is, most people believe that winning is the actual thing when talking about success stories in gambling, I almost believed it to be true not until I first saw an article that talked about the success story of a gambling addict who became free of the addiction after battling with it for a long timetime,  but when a responsible gambler is talking about their own success story, I believe they could be referring to their winning.

Winning is secondary when it comes to success stories because that can be achieved by anyone. The most difficult thing is overcoming gambling addiction and self improvement. People only get interested in stories that have to do with gamblers winning huge amounts of money forgetting that those wins can still be lost in a day. The most important thing is to stop losing totally and this can happen when you quit

Maybe you didn't put in the correct keywords when you were searching about the gambling success stories. The web searcher might have thought you were searching about people that recovered from their gambling addictions since that's what many people are searching as gambling addiction is becoming a big problem in the society. Why I think so is because there are many gambling success stories of people winning lots of money online. In the nation league finals that Spain lost to Portugal. There was a story of people betting on Ronaldo to win and to score and their best came in positive that made them to make money. In other games too, people have been winning big from gambling and this isn't happening only in football games but when playing casino games too

I admit that winning sometimes isn't the priority for some gamblers. Those gamblers who gamble for fun only, they are more focused on enjoying the games. They know when they decide to play the gambling games, it means they are ready for spending money. However, I believe everyone can't deny that when winning the games, it will be more fun.

Well, to deal with the addiction, gamblers need to be disciplined. Gamblers must stick with their plans, they don't try to gambler excessively. If they can do this, I think they can avoid addictions. Regarding the "self improvement", what do you refer to? If gamblers should improve their knowledge to win the games, I'm sure this is something impossible since gambling mostly relies on the luck.

By the way, it is very true that we can't avoid losses. Even though we can win in a row today surely it is very possible to lose in a row in the next days. However, we can avoid severe losses if we can stick with our gambling plans. That's why we must have a certain allocation for gambling, we don't try to break the limits.

Gamblers can be consistently lost as a result of uncontrollable gambling and they may not be ready for their catastrophic situation. Someone focus negatively to others and blames their luck to but the reality is that they are not controlled gambling. Even though the chances of losing are higwh you should be strategic in order to increase your chances. In fact your ability and responsibilities to gamble is relative and a matter of perspective. You should stop gambling as soon as you decide what strategy is best for you to avoid losses.

In fact, most gamblers do not have the ability to control this emotion, emotion and greed always lead people to destruction, but this is something a gambler cannot realize in the first place. If you suffer a big loss, it is not your misfortune but it is a result of your karma. If you cannot control yourself, you can certainly suffer a big loss, but you should not blame your fate for it. So in the end, only those who can control themselves can protect themselves from big losses, if there is no self-control, losses are certain.

It depends on the situation you are in. Overcoming gambling is a success for people who want to get over it. Those who want to quit but had a hard time doing so due to addiction. Hence if you finally change what you used to, that's considered as your success journey.

On the other side, the usual goal of gamblers are to win huge. Hitting it and became rich is of course a success of a gambler, that probably all of us are dreaming to be. Anyway, as I have said, it depends on the situation since we have different journey that we go through.

[giorgione]

I think there are no stories of such exorbitant earnings in the world of gambling, I think you have to take the game as a game and play the right amount, of course there will always be days when you will want to play more and spend everything, but you have to use your head and not always play a lot, I have never heard of a player winning so much at gambling, or at least figures that change his life

[Crypto Library]

That's not the end goal if it's about success stories in gambling. The most of it is about the huge jackpot prizes that a gambler have won, I believe this should also be one to be considered as a success story. But I cannot deny that those who have once lost, addicted and then recovered should also be highlighted as a success story because of how they have went through and how they've overcome the odds that they've faced when they've gambled. It's not only all about money but also can be with everything that can have a happy ending for the story teller or the person who's shared their gambling success story.

I would say not to approach gambling in such a way that a specific win here will make you successful in gambling. Becuase there is lots of stories about that people get the jackpot in casino but he wasted all of his jactpot prizes in bar and casino again so this shouldn't be a successful exam.

I would like to say gambling is just for fun, and yes, the word successful doesn't really match with the fun i.e. entertainment.

It will only be successful if it simply entertains you instead of giving you any other bad feelings while you are betting huge amount for wining huge amount.
