Sounds like a "cool story", if you know what i mean.
27 000 dollars for such company as FedEx this is nothing. Is like 27 cent for you. Will they help you? I doubt it.
 

The amount won does not help but the psychological impact does.  It boosted his confidence in dealing with the company's problems resulting in more rational thinking which leads to an innovative way of solving the company's problems.  As a result not only did he solve the crisis but even make his company even greater.  Motivation at its finest.


And of course, Smith could lose his 5000 dollars and then jump out of the window. Much more probable outcome than such "success story".

True every story has its counterpart if the result is different.  He might end up selling his company if he goes out of that Casino empty-handed and depressed.

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 story has something positive about his winning on casino that have helped him make his business progress. If there is no hardwork after he made the $27000 out of $5000 he couldn't have turned himself to be successful in his business. So, it is all about the hard work rather than his luck. We've got more such lucky stories, where they made millions out of Casinos. But, in Smith's story hardwork have got a major role.
I agree with you, this is Smith's success story in taking advantage of the opportunities he got from gambling. The reality that happens outside is that more people lose because of gambling than those who succeed because of gambling. the positive thing we have to take from smith is that he doesn't miss the opportunities he gets (wins from gambling) and the result of his hard work is his success in growing his company.
That's true.

If it's with other people and common ones like us, we're bound to lose it. Well, we can say that he's an exceptional guy and his experience wanting him to go further which made him his fortune and success.

I don't want to sound like praising him or want. IMHO, an opportunity that can be seen in gambling is entirely different from the usual opportunities that we get that are related to business and other typical opportunities.

I've heard this story in several news and articles and it is indeed a pretty good story because with it he can start again although slowly but he can reach this point now.
Still, on the other hand, things like this can only happen to a few lucky people because sometimes gambling can change luck, but sometimes there are more losses.
Although this is a good story, it certainly cannot be used as a reference that gambling can bring more luck to some people.

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.

Stories like this is what makes people that are also in desperate need for money try their luck on gambling. Not everyone is lucky like Smith and also not greedy like him. There are people that spends all of their money, become bankrupt and still won't earn anything. There are also others who are able to earn decent amount of money from gambling but they just lose it again because of their greediness to earn more from it.

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.

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.

In my opinion, Smith's story is inspiring! 

He used his luck (winning at the casino) to start a successful business.  Business is an iterative process of generating profits.  A successful international courier business is capable of generating millions of US dollars in profit per year for its owner.  This is a great achievement! 

Smith made the right decision when he started playing roulette in Las Vegas with his last remaining money.  When Smith won, he managed to stop and not play again. 

He had a big goal in life.  He knew what he wanted.  It is important

It's an exception but never a rule, in a lottery there's only one winner out of million bettors and the house edge always has the edge, in the long run.

The guy is just extremely lucky to win that amount and get his business back again, FedEx has gone to become a big company I don't know much about the character of the owner but winning a big amount and not trying it again for more is a sign of a strong character.

Unfortunately, not everyone could hit the jackpot and it is only meant for a few people so we should not rely on our fortune on gambling. Gambling could make lives better and worse for others so we all must know how to deal with the possibilities.
The person in the story is both lucky and wise because he used his jackpot to rebuild his life. Contentment sometimes is a great move.
Hitting the jackbot to the extent a gambler will become a rich person in life is not easy, even not that this can happen to few people because it can not happen to few people, it is only happening to 1 person out of millions, so saying few people is like you are overstating it.

Few people is the correct term I guess and it is not overstating.  See, 1 is a single person 2 is more than 1 and can be group as few, in the history of gambling there are several winners of jackpot already specially in national Lotto.  So these few people already had a life-changing opportunity given by gambling activity
we should know that no money can come from gambling

So how can you explain the winnings of people from playing gambling?  Just like in this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/rocketpotio-refusing-to-pay-out-in-full-170k-in-winnings-16170k-paid-so-far-5404841

Gambling can make life worse than better because it is easy to get addicted, this is the reason we need to focus on discipline and we should not go beyond our capicity, we should know that no money can come from gambling because that is where addiction starts, we should only gamble to have fun.

Cool story bro. At first I thought he gambled that 84m dollars because it wasn't enough due to fuel hiked, xd. Then I found out that what he gamble is his last money which is 5k and then he turned that into a decent 27k.

I think the real moral of this story is to test your fortune through gambling and whatever the results come, you must accept it and never attempt to play again if your goal is to profit because if you do then you will only lose what you already won and it could make your life more miserable. Gambling help him but what truly made him successful is his attitude and knowledge. He is wise to re invest the money in his losing company and not in to gambling even if he knew that he is lucky there.
Gambling is never been a good idea for making some last resort in speaking or in talks about finances because instead on making yourself win or make the situation better it could potentially even make it even more worst.

Its never been a good thing but luckily he had made out that last 5k of his money to grow via gambling which is that you could definitely say that gambling had opened an opportunity for you to start once again.
Although it is really just totally a coincidence that he's been lucky on the time he had played out but if not then for sure he fucked up himself even more harder.

So if it do happens into your life once then dont expect that it could happen twice or anticipated that you do end up on the same result on 2nd time around.

someone who plays gambling must experience changes in their life but it's not always good and it's not always bad either. but from smith's story, what makes him lucky is that he has a strong passion to build a big company and doesn't become a gambling addict. if only smith became a gambling addict then I'm sure FedEx would never exist.

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 once read the story of a person having luck in a casino above average, you can say those who are lucky are professional bettors in gambling, their lucky tricks are kept secret, not revealed.

After I read the stories of such people, I can conclude, 1000 only 1-2 people are successful and lucky in casino, If I had also risked my $5000 in the casino, as Smith did, without strategy and luck, I might have gone home empty handed and crying all the way.



@GigaBit, what Smith did for the FedEx company, I think it was pure luck on his belief, with $5000 capital can get $27,000 in one week, in his attempt to do it in Las Vegas, I'm sure if not immediately invest the money into the FedEx company and try betting again at the casino, maybe he doesn't see FedEx anymore, luckily Smith acted quickly to save the FedEx company, He is one of the luckiest people in this world.
I believe that luck has taken him to a much higher position. Otherwise, he would not be in this position today. But I think he probably didn't come to the casino at that time after getting $27000. Because at that time he was very busy with his company. He worked to deliver all the parcels on time. In this way he worked for two consecutive years and his company earned a large amount in 1976. As contribution to all of this, I acknowledge his intellectual hard work as well as the contribution of the casino.

I have seen many gamblers that had made a Fortune from Gambling on casinos. This is mostly luck and we need to understand that this does and can happen to everybody. Some gamblers had made so much money on casinos because of their strategy and know in what they are doing. The more effort we put on what we do can change our life whether now or later. The gamblers with big bank roll will more money and become successful in gambling than those that bets with little funds.

That's an interesting story. Yes, gambling can change people's fortune, it's either changing them to become successful and luxurious or depressed and hopeless because of losses.
If that's how the story went, Smith is wise in handling his funds but he took a big risk to change his path. He must be so lucky that he was able to get back on track but as a reminder, not everyone could get lucky as him.

In gambling, this is a real-life changer but in different ways, of course, there's a gambler who wins in the game of course having huge jackpot can really gives you an urge to use that money into different ways or make another gambling which is another risk to get another wins or back to zero games and those gamblers who lose and want to take back their loses that might another towards of losing their assets. Still at the end of the day the players choices of the path they will come.

But indeed manipulation like this can happen because they are the ones who own and know the condition of the casino machines. And they are also the provider, so they certainly understand and have their own way to always get more money from the users, right? As long as it's still reasonable, maybe it's considered normal, especially if users still have chances to win. Unless there wasn't even a chance of winning, it would definitely be suspicious. Only certain manipulations are possible to some degree of victory. Yes, we don't know for sure, but it's possible it could happen.

Manipulation is natural, people improvise when it is necessary but I think reputed Casino wouldn't want to indulge in this, not that some Casinos wouldn't do it but it wouldn't be all because playing consistently in a casino without any wins will trigger an alert for players that there is indeed something wrong with where they are playing and if players find out about such corruption, they wouldn't come back.


You know the funny thing is that many people are betting on the likes of lotteries with huge jackpots because they are hoping that it could change their fortune in life. Lottery bettors must be aware that their chances of winning the jackpot is one in several millions but it doesn't discourage them. That one in several millions will win is enough for them to continue betting because that one could be them. And many of these bettors are poor people. They're only relying on luck in gambling as their ultimate savior.

They are poor, too addicted and don't think of alternatives, some of their betting techniques most of the time is based on assumption and it is too far from reality but they will always play it anyways just to cash out huge bags

He is in desperate situation and have no other choice as to where to get quick money.In that moment,he choose to gamble it and let fate decide.As it turns out,his luck showed up in that moment and the rest is history.But,this kind of people are one in a million,so if you can get a better way,don't put your hope in the casino because the risk is too high.

Casinos have the opportunity to earn more money but casinos cannot deny the luck factor that comes to a person and can only follow the rules they make.
Even though casinos have their own way of getting things like that, they can't just cheat on their users because if they did, the users would surely complain and eventually leave the casino.
Manipulation may still occur but it will not work for gamblers who have a high level of luck because they will win from the casino.
So we shouldn't have to think about things beyond our minds and we'd better play gambling as usual.

I'm not impressed with how he won in the casino but I'm impressed with how he handle his business in order for it to grow and become a multi billion dollar business. Going to the casino depressed is not a good idea, he is just lucky enough but that was $5k turn into $27k in a week, not a major success though.

I agree. Smith was only lucky that he won. But that was not a good thing to do both as a depressed man and as somebody whose company is about to go bankrupt. It is always a reminder not to gamble when one is feeling down, angry, depressed, ecstatic, etc. On the other hand it is also not responsible to waste money when your company itself is on the verge of bankruptcy.

This story shouldn't be viewed as an encouragement for people, for them to treat gambling as a way out. Gambling is never that.

This is true.This is presented as some form of relief when in fact this happens 1 in a million,meaning if you go 1 million times with that same amount of money,what happened to Smith will only happen once.Gambling should never be viewed as a savior to our financial problems.Every time someone has done that has gone bankrupt rather than to make decent winnings to improve their life or their company if they were owners of one.I would never suggest anyone look at gambling as a savior to his problems,because once he does it is a one way street most of the times which only goes south.

You know the funny thing is that many people are betting on the likes of lotteries with huge jackpots because they are hoping that it could change their fortune in life.
