Topic: Casino can play a role in changing fortune? (Read 1533 times)

It's a good read and very inspiring. Like what was mentioned in the article, it's not the million dollar that matters but what you can do with it that matters. I agree that money is just a tool and if we use it wisely, it can help us achieve our goals.

I think it's important to have a financial plan and set realistic goals for yourself, but I also think that it's equally important not to define yourself by your wealth. It's easy to get caught up in the material things and lose sight of what really matters: good health, family and friends, and having a positive impact on the world. It's important to keep in mind that money isn't everything, but it sure does help. It's also important not to be a slave to your money and not let it control you. If you're an entrepreneur, then make sure that your business doesn't consume all of your time and energy because this will prevent you from living the life you want.

That's a really interesting story.
I don't think that being successful at gambling (for once) can make a person successful in his job or life.
This guy (Smith) regained his confidence by winning money in a casino and this helped him return his motivation and ambitions.
He could've regained his confidence and motivation without playing in a casino, but the casino somewhat helped him in creating a false sense of being fortunate. That was more like a placebo effect. Many people would've failed completely.
The courier business has big potential, even though fuel prices were temporarily high. Companies like FedEx were destined to become big, because that particular niche had huge potential. Consistency in business and not giving up in times of crisis has always been the key to success.

But even if the gambler is experienced, they will still have the potential to lose control of their emotions. They can follow what other gamblers are doing and will end up losing continuously. It had happened many times and many of them had suffered that defeat. It's hard to control emotions, but we must keep trying if we don't want to lose more money. Casino systems may be different, but we have to be able to take care of ourselves and know when to stop.

That's right. By having good discipline, we can control our greed so it doesn't tell us to keep gambling. We can control greed as long as we always remember that the next round doesn't always give us a win. Many of us don't have a specific plan but as long as we can control ourselves and prevent emotions or greed from getting too big, we won't lose much money. @OP's story should motivate us to stop and get away with a win so we can enjoy the winning money.

That is the temptation of gambling that will continue to call us to always play after getting that win and make us place bets again. But if we have good self-control, it will not happen to us and even we can resist it by stopping when the winning money is in our hands. We can prevent greed from becoming big because with self-control, we will always be aware that gambling is only entertainment and nothing more.

Maybe that's the difference between experienced and inexperienced gamblers because they will have some kind of feeling that can help them decide when to stop. Maybe reaching the target will seem difficult but with the help of the feeling earlier, they will know that at this time, it is not easy to reach the target so they will prefer to stop for a while.

What happens here is that it is a circumstantial and very specific fact that we want to generalize, the fact that he won money in bets and used it for his company, is random and he should not subscribe to the fact that he was able to growt his company for that reason.

Possible results:

• The company was successful and has maintained that throughout the years.
• The company was founded with those funds, it worked well for a while but it disappeared, something normal.
• The company was founded had a success, very short.
• The company was founded, but did not reach the objectives, failure.

The above has nothing to do at all with the fact of getting that money and the consequent success, since the money for company could come from different options.

In other words, the OP's context and the question in the title of this post are like "bipolar".

Casino can play a role in changing fortune? Yes.
OP's context. No, not necessarily, do business, ventures, etc. and winning a millionaire prize do not go together as you might think.

The adrenaline rush is playing all over you and its hard to stop, but that is good that you set aside a portion of your winning that's the best idea, thinking ahead and looking at the worst scenario, we want to strike while the iron is hot and we always think that someday we will regain all our losses, but unfortunately, it's very rare to regain it in one session and pushing your luck will get you on another losing streak, we all want to hit the big jackpot but always consider how far you can go and your risk behavior, some risks are not worth taking.

Strategic type of games does need strategy and not luck alone and thats the main difference when you do deal up with those games which it would be just common sense on what would be mainly needed
and not just luck alone unlike when dealing with casino type of games which do only require luck for you to win up the game. Casinos are just giving off and provide games where people could play
and they would need up to deposit and play right away and there's no way that casino could play a role on changing up fortune because everything works on RNG for luck based
games and skills for skill based ones.

I think you have to rethink again of what you're saying because there's a game that goes with strategy only to win and luck is just a bonus if you have it. Just try the poker and see what the professional gamblers do when they have a bad card I've seen some of them flip the game just by bluffing and it goes to different games too because skills and strategy is what makes you win plus your will to win and that's matter.

What this story is really missing is where this person earned their money - if they were around for a whole week then chances are they might have been grinding it at a very skilled game which can be just as reliable as going to a job. People assume from the way you describe it, he was betting on slot machines or trying his luck at the roulette table but that's unlikely to be the case. It's possible he won the money from one of these zero skill games, but for every person that does walk out with a hansom amount of money like that - plenty more will walk out with empty pockets and even worse, hit a nice jackpot amount yet pour all the money straight back in.

It is very difficult to stay calm when you are winning,yesterday I was playing a slot machine and I was just playing little money and didn't expect a big win but the slot machine kept giving me big wins on regular basis,I got from 69 dollars to 1200 but only withdrew 500 in the end because I thought to myself why not risk 700 dollars by playing with a higher bet and hopefully to hit the maximum pay line.I didn't and lost them really soon but I ended up with a 400 dollar profit in the end.I could not stop at 1200 because I thought why not go for that big prize and that is what hit most gamblers.

From 5000$ to 17,000$ I consider an impressive achievement already. It's not everyday gamblers manage to grow their bankroll above x3 with success. In unlucky days it's not possible to make a slight 5%-10% profit due to constant losses. Therefore gamblers shouldn't neglect x3 winnings. It's the perfect time to stop and to use this money smartly, growing it through another methods without involving gambling anymore until they have increased their income, so they can continue using part of it for gambling activity as hobby, but keeping in mind the lightning is unlikely to strike twice!

Those who earned million by just using few dollars are very rare for sure and they are very skilled because of how the result of their gamble turned out. For me winning 100x from the starting capital is big enough and I can consider it as a big win but doing 10000x from your current amount is outrageous and I'm imagining to be nerve racking because it can turn out to be a disappointment if bad things happened. It certainly need good amount of luck, skills and experience to achieve those kind of winnings.

Winning small amount of money in gambling should not be compared to other large winnings because it takes a bigger risks and large fund to win big earnings. For those gamblers we know now that are having big winning in gambling is as a result of the built confidence and experience so far. This is worth could trigger us to take bigger risk to gamble since we have enough fund to back ourselves up if in case any thing happens. Gambling is luck also and for those who had been taking risks, one day there luck might shine.

Not everyone could boast about their winnings because, to be honest, most of us walk away from gambling because we don't have any capital to use since we've already lost everything we had. There will only be a few people who can succeed and reach their target goals in gambling because, to be honest, gambling is a game of luck and it is not strategic.

Yes, gambling will make us have a high curiosity which is actually a trap, I mean many gamblers don't think when getting a win is luck and instead turn luck into defeat and even lose everything.
when we get a win that's where the real luck and the action that must be taken is to stop when we get a victory, in order to get a complete victory. But most of them continue to play out of curiosity and hope to keep on winning which is actually greed that will cost them.

Yes, most of the gamblers who experienced a good win will continue to come back and try to win more, but chances is not the same
one day they will be busted and all those wins that they've gained will return to the house. Sad true, but without good control
of your greed, it will end up nothing.


Experienced gamblers who have this kind of mentality are the ones who can quit with a decent amount of money. They will also be back
but still have good judgement and know when to quit when they already reached their targets.


This is true, gambler who know how to handle their emotions can continue enjoying while earning from these activities.

True, it doesn't usually happen. It is totally on luck. However, it is not unusual to win small amounts of money here. As happened to Smith. But he gambled with $5,000 for about a week and won $17,000. This amount is not very high in gambling where many people have records of winning millions of dollars with keeping very few dollars.

We will never know what happens behind the scenes but we will definitely lose for anything that will bet on gambling but not for consecutive/instant losses, I am not directing you to assume "manipulation" or "cheated" due to the fact that I do not dissect the source of gambling games and cannot measure the chances of winning in each bet. But every game update, the team will update/improve the game source and hope the team is committed to fair play for gamblers.

That's exactly where most of the gamblers tend to make a mistake. They don't quit while they are in profits.
They keep playing and eventually lose. If at all most of them start to quit when they are in profits then casinos will turn out to make losses instead.

Nowadays, maybe not so much, but in the past, there were a lot more online casinos that weren't provably fair. So, it wasn't just the house's advantage but there's always the chance that casino could screw you out of a good hand if they wanted to. And no one would ever be the wiser about it. You wouldn't know if they were doing something that would tip the odds in their favor.

The accessibility that we now have to casinos and other such platforms that people have nowadays is helpful and also scary at times. It is way easier to lose your money on casinos nowadays and easier to get addicted. Control and moderation is the key, and it is hard to do especially if you don't have any other things to do most of the time.


I don't think casinos are deliberately manipulating things on their platform, or they're doing it whenever they feel like it. The house edge is implemented so as to give an advantage to the casino over the players in the long run. Not that they can't change that whenever they feel like, but if they did then they will be subject to scrutiny and may even lose players because of it. Some of the games they have are designed to give out jackpot at a certain amount of games played (slot machines) and in a way, it is manipulation but again, they do not control these things whenever they want to.
