I think the very idea of becoming wealthy by gambling is a dangerous mindset to have. Anything which seems extremely unlikely (like winning millions or even hundreds of thousands) should not be ideas which you should entertain by risking your money.

Gambling is and always has been just for fun, by my way of thinking.

The more hope you give yourself that something unlikely will happen, the more you keep yourself at the gambling table even during times in which you should walk away once you have made an X amount of losses.

Winning hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars of course requires quite a lot of capital too, get rich quick ideas that encourage gamblers to continue to do it until they are addicted to gambling without thinking about how much loss is experienced.
For those who only play gambling as entertainment and fill their spare time, of course they will not be so serious in betting, they will only use the minimum bet they can afford to lose.
But if they think only to get rich quick and make a lot of profit, the maximum bet will be an option and this will boomerang that will take all their money.

The story sucks to be honest. First of all because of the percentage you mention, but is there that much difference between $5,000 and $27,000? If he had said that $5,000 got him $500,000, it would seem to me to be a considerable difference.

And besides, it was the only way he could get that $22,000 difference? I don't know, maybe taking a loan to invest in his company would have made more sense.

Maybe the meaning of the story is that he took a risk in the casino and won, it gave him the courage to continue to take risks in business - instead of a reliable bankruptcy after which he would still have a lot of capital, he decided to keep the business to the very end and eventually won the jackpot. In general, it is rather silly to confuse gambling with business, but sometimes such comparisons really make sense because in business there are many external factors that are beyond our control and can be perceived as random.
Maybe he had given up on what happened with all his money so he decided to gamble.
And unexpectedly, he was finally able to win a lot in a week and was finally able to help him to continue his business even though the money was still lacking.
No one thought that his fate would change and that he could get the luck that came at the right time so this is what is called the right person at the right time to get lucky.

People who are addicted to gambling are never good.  Gambling depends entirely on luck. If your luck is good then you will see that from a gamble you can change your luck at one stage. But in the case of gambling, I blame fate the most. Many people have changed their destiny a lot by focusing on this gambling. Again there are many people who have lost all meaning of their lives due to this gambling. I mean this gambling depends entirely on luck.
And with the story that has been given as an example, that made Smith on a better track but his story is really rare.

You barely see these stories that they're actual businessmen and usually, when they're into business, the first thing they avoid is gambling.

Because they know the effect of it but on this story, it's really like the bet that he's been waiting for his life time.

he just got lucky on this one. i hope people are not being hopeful that this kind of story will also happen to them. and with his gambling winnings, he used it wisely making his company a worldwide known freight company. not many people got their luck from gambling. but let's admit the fact that without his hard work, the company won't go anywhere.
Yes, no doubt.

He was just lucky on this one and the entire story will be different if he has lost. But if he's the pursuant businessman, he'll still find a way to fund his business and will on operating.

This is just like one part of his choice and there could be other options on him being awaited when he has lost on this choice for gambling.

this is also what crossed my mind, getting luck on gambling that smith did at the casino in my opinion it was a natural thing but if it was invested in his own company it would not have a big impact especially if it was for the recovery of his company which was on the verge of bankruptcy. unless he gets a big loan to invest in his company, at least I think this makes a lot of sense. 

Regardless of the topic of this thread I agree that casinos can change a person's destiny regardless of being poor or earning really big money.

I think when you keep gambling using borrowed money it's like committing suicide because there is no guarantee you can get a profit from gambling, it's better if you still need money to gamble, then you work and look for money and as much money as possible you use it for gambling. Gambling is not based on debt or the like because when you lose you will lose and be depressed.
It is likely a suicidal attempt, it's a liability if it wouldn't make any profit unless it will turn the table and you hit a jackpot. It's good to gamble as long as you're not going all in and still thinking for yourself, the needs for everyday living and if you have family make sure it's intact until the day you've been compensated again.

His company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Smith come back to Las Vegas feeling sad. At that time Las Vegas was known as the capital of casinos. He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week. 

Wait seems I'm not understanding this properly, you mean it took him about a week to earned that much after probably risking all his funds on the bet and not even a day bet. Even though he came out successful, that was a stupid move by Smith. The board members should ask him to set down as the CEO even though he's the founder of the company as he would probably take the company back into bankruptcy if he tries this again as there's every chance he would take the company funds for gambling in attempt to recreate this luck which will fail.

In no condition should you risk it all when betting even though you're 99% sure of coming out victorious. What would he had said assumings he lost it all like the majority out there. Stupid stories like this are the few percentage gamblers been lucky (probably first timer luck) and shoudn't be shared to encourage people into trying similar steps.

<...> FedEx currently distributes about 1.2 billion parcels a year in 220 countries with an annual revenue of about 3 billion. Smith, founder of FedEx, started his business with 84 million us dollar. At that time he started operations in 35 countries with 8 planes. But at one stage, the price of plane fuel increased and that contemporary time courier service did not become very popular. His company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Smith come back to Las Vegas feeling sad. At that time Las Vegas was known as the capital of casinos. He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week. Smith come back to FedEx headquarter and invest his money on his company even though his money was not enough to run the company but with his hard work and enthusiasm he arranged to send all the parcels. in this way he established his company.

Nice story,I didn't know this one.There are very few persons on earth compared to the earth population which in percentage is less than 0.0000001% that have experienced a life changing event by going to a casino.

All gamblers have luck but most of the time, it doesn't use for good. Most of the time, when gamblers feel lucky, they will push more for longer playing not realizing that the big profits that come out from their luck are now slowly depleting. Until everything is now zero. Regret and disappointment will follow. After recovering from that problem, they will come back again and plan to stop now if ever they will hit a big profit again. Here now comes their luck and they are now in profit but their plan on stopping didn't happen because of the mindset that they are lucky, why should they stop?

It's good to see that someone like the story shared OP learn to take advantage of his winnings and didn't fall into gambling addiction. But even though the story ended in a good and happy ending, don't ever think of gambling your last money thru risking at gambling casinos. Not all have the same destiny.

If he can use his amount of winnings to start a business, that way it could grow and become even more profitable. The amount is definitely huge and can be a good start to have his own source of income.
We have to pay attention to the latest update of the $170k winner and Rocketpot has only paid $16k so far, whatever the reason Rocketpot is totally unreasonable to delay the payout or maybe they don't have that much money, because the minimum payout has already been paid, so it's impossible to use that much money to start a new business unless Rocketpot gives full payouts to users who have won $170k from their casino.

Depends on luck definitely and what if that man had lost out that $5k he had left on gambling and never able to gain that 27k instead? For sure we would really be seeing once again that gambling would be blamed for that which it wont really be just that right because gambling is for entertainment and no one had really forced you to play on the first place and its up into your own will on spending the money whether if its your
last drop or not or simply been hoping for some recovery at least but we know that this is the baddest idea to have on considering or on making gambling as your last resort for your money to grow.
Dont live or believe with these kind of means because it would really just fucked you up most of the time but this one is an exemption once luck would really set in.

If you ever hit the jackpot and have the self-control to call it quits from there, you could easily turn your life around. It is embedded on the human psychology to aspire more of what they receive, even though what they have right now is more of what they previously had before. People will still chase jackpots even though they already won it once, and that right there is the start of Man's pursuit to greediness and hunger for things that they don't have. I know some people who managed to win big on casinos but still end up being in debt, usually because they still believe that the luck that they have will continue even though they are already met with a series of bad streaks.

Gambling the remaining money is not the ideal way but it's still one of the few cases of winnings spent wisely.

I'm following the story of this user who won $170K at Rocketpot. While there is still uncertainty that he/she will get them all due to the casino's withdrawal limits and liquidity, that amount is already life changing to many people. We don't know for sure how he'll use it but it will certainly help his/her family. It would be great if he/she could make that money grow and come back here to share the story.
If he can use his amount of winnings to start a business, that way it could grow and become even more profitable. The amount is definitely huge and can be a good start to have his own source of income. Just like Smith, not only his gains in crypto that made him successful now, but having positive mindset and being persistent brought him to where he is now. Its okay to gamble your money in casinos, but always set limits. If you feel lucky and won huge amount, don't try to chase your luck and just go home or you may regret and feel sorry in the end.

Many of us who play casinos, suffer more or less. Many are blaming it again that it is a money-losing machine. In this regard I would like to share a success history by playing casino game. It is only for knowing the truth especially those are don't know the fact.

Many of us may know the name of an international courier service known as FedEx. This courier service company headquarter is in Tennessee, USA. FedEx currently distributes about 1.2 billion parcels a year in 220 countries with an annual revenue of about 3 billion. Smith, founder of FedEx, started his business with 84 million us dollar. At that time he started operations in 35 countries with 8 planes. But at one stage, the price of plane fuel increased and that contemporary time courier service did not become very popular. His company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Smith come back to Las Vegas feeling sad. At that time Las Vegas was known as the capital of casinos. He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week. Smith come back to FedEx headquarter and invest his money on his company even though his money was not enough to run the company but with his hard work and enthusiasm he arranged to send all the parcels. in this way he established his company.

This is really a good success of smith as well as FedEx with the favor of Casino. By the way, i am not sharing it to encourage anyone to the casino.
I only thought about his luck and how to revive the company. He doesn't look like a businessman who is greedy for the money he won from gambling because he managed to invest his winnings to run the wheels of his company. I don't think the story is particularly surprising because there are actually a lot of success gamblers out there after winning something big, but really not everyone can be like them.

Casinos basically didn't help him but I think he was lucky enough at gambling that he was able to invest those winnings in the company he manages. The positive thing I think about him is, he doesn't forget that his company needs money to keep moving. Good.

I thought Smith was destined to be a successful man, and the bankruptcy problem that befell him was a test. Because of his hard work and not giving up easily, he made a lot of money from the casino and made it rise and become successful again.
and I think many people are successful or make money from gambling because they gamble for a good cause and after that is achieved they focus on their business, this story is similar to my friend's that distinguishes he is just a small businessman and capitalizes on gambling winnings.
He was not an active gambler and after achieving his goal he stopped gambling and focused on his business.
