Topic: A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette - page 4. (Read 1410 times)

Yeah, and it's like glorifying this gamblers, as they have been followed, then recorded and show to the world that maybe, just maybe if you bet your life saving, you can be this guy and win and double your money in a casino. But it's very wrong.


We will not do that if we are in the right frame of mind. Yes, most of the time we take big risk, but I don't think that I can take the risk what this man this, his whole life savings. Nah, I will think of my family first before I can do that. And 100% the answer will be is that my family is more important I wouldn't go that far because once the result is not in my favor, not only me, but my wife, kids will also suffer and I don't want that to happen.

It seems like the dream was from the demons whisper, LOL
From the OP's discussion above, he once experienced depression due to unacceptable gambling losses so that at the last point he decided to risk everything he had, his emotional condition had pushed him to commit stupid actions because not all gamblers would choose that choice, but he had made a decision. which is wrong and he ignored the risk of more serious psychological effects or ending in suicide like many factual reports about it. However, fortunately he was still lucky and I can't imagine what he would do after he lost that bet.

If it's like a reality show, then we can think of almost every angle that we want to think about it.

But never in my whole life that I am going to bet to something that will change my life forever negatively with my life savings. If it's the opposite then that I'd bet for it if the conditions are favorable to me and if they're going to give me that benefit.

Lucky for the guy that made it and I don't think that there's another story behind the reel but I'd lean on the story about it being a "reality" show.

That's excellent advice, and it's a good reminder that gambling may be extremely addictive and financially disastrous. Even if someone begins with the goal of betting a little sum of money, it is easy to become engrossed in the excitement and wind up betting more than they can afford to lose. In addition to financial hazards, gambling addiction can cause sadness, anxiety, and social isolation.
This is why it's very important to always remember and have it mind always that gambling should be only for fun and recreational purpose and not a way to multiply your fortune or gain more wealth, always having these in mind would help one make the right decisions while gambling.

I see that some of those who look at it from a winning perspective actually become addicts who don't know their limits, because their brains have been washed by the hope of winning and winning, while they never think about the risks of the gambling they do, yes, they don't see what they should be. they see.

just like you, I'm just commenting and giving a little advice here, even if they can't accept it, it's not a problem for me, because we're just sharing a point of view here. They are fully responsible for what they do, I agree with that. The reason is that everything they do is not due to coercion from other people but it comes from within themselves. Likewise with me, whatever I do is my responsibility, I cannot possibly blame other people for what I do, but I always listen to suggestions from other people which I will then consider to determine what is better for me to do.

It is really that hard to determine whether these stories are true or not because if we do talk about life savings or the fund he do all have then this is a personal kind of matter on which this is something that cant be known publicly and this is why it wont really be that too easy to tell whether this man had put it all or really just that telling lies or just for the show. Well, whatever the truth is then betting your life savings is really that a suicide. No one on their right minds would really be definitely be betting up all of his life savings but if we do really tend to look around into those people or gamblers who had messed up their lives because of too much gambling spending or involvement then i could really say that there are really people who are really that still believing in unicorns. lol

One all in bet would really be putting up your life miserable and i dont know on where these people minds been thinking that they could be able to pull it through.
Gambling should be just that for fun and not something that you could be able to make your fate rely on.

Interesting, the most interesting thing is where this man bet all his savings in 1 spin of the roulette. yeah, like the title of this thread. The matter of winning or losing, for us is a common thing that gamblers should know. but what is interesting to me, is what made this man risk all his money on one spin. reckless actions like this were commonplace for us, but not as reckless as risking everything on a single spin. The problem is, the information you shared doesn't tell the story of why this man did it. so that's why I say interesting, because there are many factors that caused this man to do it. It's not just an addiction problem, even if you are an addict, it's not certain that you will be as determined as this man to risk his entire savings in one round.

Uniquely, this man was successful and managed to win what he bet on. well, after that we don't have any other information on how it goes. because in the link you shared, it only says a man won the bet in one round with all the money he had. luckily, this guy won and let's just say he went home after winning. but if the opposite happens, if this man loses. Just imagine, there are many possibilities that could happen. in fact, it can have an impact on something beyond his control which is detrimental to him getting deeper into the situation. however, stories like this, are possible for us.

All I'm gonna say about this is ; that dude was damn lucky and it doesn't guarantee that it'd be the same outcome should he ever try that again...the problem isn't usually about winning before trying to quit, its usually about getting enticed by the major wins you had..(including the minor ones)
Oh brooo!! That's exactly what makes alot of people enticed... "I once met someone that vowed to try their luck on gambling"... They've done a whole lot of businesses and it isn't just working out.

I really think this is more common than what we may believe, it is just that it was not recorded or it was never shared as the person lost everything, it is because of this that even if I like to gamble we need to encourage others to do so responsibly, since a single mistaken decision is more than enough to turn your life around, and I am sure that even casino owners do not like this, as even if this can bring them some easy money, this can discourage other people that may have liked to gamble but that are scared this could happen to them.

When someone is addicted to gambling, then it means they can’t do without gambling, and they do weird things just for the sake of gambling, as long as someone is addicted to gambling, that means they can’t control their gambling behavior, and they will end up gambling with the amount they can’t afford to lose, and after losing, they will end up trying to win back all their losses, in the process of trying to win back their losses, they will lose more. Most addicted gamblers always end up regretting, and it’s always late by then. They will have sold their properties and gamble with the money, they will have lost everything they have before they do come back to their right senses.

Why will you even gamble with your savings, it’s not reasonable to be, why will you save money, and at the end you will end up using the money to gamble, that’s crazy to me, but as we all know, addicted gamblers do always do crazy things.

Sure, there are plenty of examples (mostly in movies) where a bet of a lifetime can work, but that's a movie. In real life, you have to think many times whether it's worth risking everything for one bet. It has to be super-confidence, and even then it's not enough. Decisions are hard to make - and often made at random (or maybe based on a dream - but who sent you that dream, angels or demons?).

A person that'll stake all his life's savings just for a spin of roulette is either crazy or the video is staged to promote irresponsibility, because no sane gambler who has responsibilities will risk all his money to gamble , which which depends on luck. It's said that he that is down fears no fall, so if a gambler is very poor that he wants to use his last cash to gamble, then it can be understood that afterall if he doesn't gamble the money that it'll all still be spent on the next meal, but for someone that has a substantial savings and wants to gamble it all at once is nothing short of insanity.

We never know though but anything we can see online might not be real, so it's good that you have doubts on this one as it will not influence you to follow what he did, actually twice since there was an old and new video. Personally, I think it's just for a promotion or just a show as no one in with the right mind who risk his life savings that he saved for his future (whatever his plans) to gambling that in just a blink of an eye it could be gone forever.

I am sure that is not his life savings because no one would ever do that. If he ever loses, what will happen to his life? Even if he has a second plan if he loses that bet, it is still hard for him to recover since all of his life savings are gone because of one bet. Maybe it is his only gambling budget; no one would risk putting all of his savings on one bet unless you are a crazy person.

Looking at the context of the video, it was a reality show, so maybe there is a chance that is part of the "script" where he would double all of his money. But if not, good for him; he has some balls of steel for doing that. I hope that he did not gamble again after that win.

That's a very big and costly mistake which personally I can never try or advice someone I know to do that, reason being that in my country, there's nothing like social services, or home Care for the aged. Every retired senior citizen know better than betting with his entire life savings. Because a loss will end you up in abject poverty and a beggar, with much hatred from anybody that heard the story of your foolishness.

I think this man can count himself lucky for life, he took his gambling habits too far and is not advisable for anyone to imitate him. That's not responsible gambling at all. He won actually and congrats to him, but he never showed good example to those looking up to him if he has any.

This is a very particular case, and when a person makes a decision like this they have to know what is at stake, they cannot leave things like that just for a chance, that is something very dangerous, the mere fact of saving means the effort that It had to be done in order to reach a considerable amount, because if you lose, how will you survive? with empty hands and like a real fool, because before doing something like that what I would do is buy BITCOIN and wait as long as necessary to see many profits, but the truth is I wouldn't put it on a roulette wheel, it is something that is very irresponsible , which for me is not something viable, it is a very irresponsible act.

But since there are many people who have another type of thinking, well, one respects it and everyone takes their risk as they want, if they are a rich person they will simply be very calm if they lose money, it will not affect their daily life, they will have a way to respond to your needs sooner.

In the case of the majority of people who unfortunately do not have that monetary capacity, they have to take care of themselves, because many times addiction occurs due to lack of money or the decapitalization of money.

Yes, that is also my question about whether it is true that that amount is the entire savings for his life or he still has money elsewhere such as other assets, I cannot know the truth because what the OP said he only said that someone risked all his life savings, but it could be true or false. But on the other hand, there is nothing wrong for us to believe it, and if it is true, then of course this is one of the worst decisions ever made by someone and I am sure that this action was not based on any previous thinking or consideration, which means that most likely he did this action based on emotions due to previous defeats that he could not accept.

On the other hand I would not care even though they basically managed to get a very large win in the bet, because of course what should be the main concern is the way and actions that are too careless in choosing decisions, because the reason is clear as you say that even though you are lucky today by getting a win but luck is not something that can always happen, meaning that it can never be known when luck will come and go, and also yes what is worried is that there is a possibility for him to do the same action someday because today he managed to get a win.

Yes it is true that publicizing events like this can actually lead a person into a positive and negative mindset, which I think there must be some people who see this incident to imitate the actions taken by the man mentioned by the OP where they risked all their life savings in one chance and there are also those who see the other side where they take lessons and lessons from this horror-inducing incident, and my advice to anyone here is to try to think rationally in viewing and addressing gambling, with this I am sure you will know what to do and what to avoid.

Did someone verified that it was his total life savings he used to bet? Because in my point of view, he's ready to throw his life away. I did not watch the video, but by just reading I could definitely tell he's life is about to go to the wrong direction.
He might be lucky this time for being able to get the win, but luck doesn't always favors us. If he's done it today, there will be a huge chance that he'll do it again the next time.
This is just one of the example of bad gambling habit. Showing this in public might only encourage some desperate gamblers to do the same way. I once witnessed someone who put his whole month of paycheck in one shot and that guy was very unfortunate because he lost. That for sure taught him a lesson, if he ever thought of doing that again, then there's no doubt he's got addicted with gambling.

Yeah it is what it is, when it comes to gambling, the house always wins and almost 90% of those that take such risks ends in loses just that this guy was extremely lucky to have won his bet in that nature if not he could have ended in big regrets if he hard lost the bet, I don't know what his motivations was to have taken such step of giving up all that he saved up on one bets which places him on a deadline or win it all jackpot.

Any ways this is not the first time I read about gamblers taking such risks, but the good aspects is that, when gamblers takesuch one shoot risk they end up winning the bets which make them better off after all and this is one of such scenerios.

Majority got a sad ending since they didn't manage well their expenses and expectation on gambling then they do excessive things that cause them harm that's why some of them end up in miserable way. That's why its important for gambler to know their priorities and reflect on bad incidents happen to those addicted gamblers so that they can avoid the negative complications brought by uncontrolled or abusive actions they have done and they can still continue to gamble with moderation and can able to enjoy each game they are participating on.
