Topic: Casino can play a role in changing fortune? - page 9. (Read 1599 times)
Lol. This story sounds like a folklore. This is because OP didn't put a source. Well, let's assume that Smith actually turned his $5,000 to $27,000 within a week at a Las Vegas casino. That's like a one in a million occurrence and it's a good thing that he wasn't a gambling addict and was able to invest it in his business. Well I would conclude that he was responsible for changing his own fortune and not the casino. Because he may have just decided to blow the $27,000 on wine, women and cars but he didn't.
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.
That was indeed luck which did really help him on at least making some recovery and pursuing his dream or goal on establishing the company once again even on a small amount of money.Many of us may know the name of an international courier service known as FedEx.

This is a good success story i would say which playing in casino is somewhat relevant particularly on his life or condition but we know that this wont be applicable to everybody as we do know that
luck isnt on our side all the time which does means that it will really be totally in random and the person of the story above did really not have that intent on making that 5k turns out to 27k in a week
but turns out that he was lucky and opens up again an opportunity in going back into the business.

I think this is one of those instances where a gambler gets lucky in his casino run.
The fact that the person came into the gambling establishment with $5,000 and left with $27,000 is proof that he was indeed lucky that day. The fact that you were able at to at least double your money in gambling is lucky enough, let alone earning a x5 profit on your end. Though this story may be inspiring, this can be awfully deceiving in a way that it somehow encourages gambling whenever you hit rock-bottom.

You don't really give enough information on this to make it a wow story. If he went into a casino with poker or card counting skills before it was heavily tracked, then it is very possible that he used many years of practice to accumulate those funds with a starting bankroll - that would bring the element of risk involved right down. You could truly say he "earned" it in that scenario. However if he went wild on three games of roulette and managed to double his money by fluke, then he is probably the one out of a thousand, hundred thousand or maybe even a million who beat the casino at their own game. These casinos are masters at what they do and earn big money year after year, it's not impossible but it's extremely rare for people to walk out of them on a regular basis with more money than they started.
Great story. What you can take out of it is that he knew when to stop. Many people win money like Smith, but not many can stand up from the table and walk away with the money. Some will walk away just to come back the next day and lose it all. Some will celebrate, buy an expensive watch, a new suit, pick up some girls and party. The most important thing is to be smart and know what you came for to the casino. Be happy with what you got and never regret anything.
This story is undoubtedly an amazing road to success, but one can imagine thousands of completely opposite events. For example, when a man is on the verge of bankruptcy and carries money into a casino, hoping for a miracle, but ends up with nothing. Or an addicted gambler who bets his monthly salary on red or black, and his family is left without food and in debt until his next paycheck.
Wow. I didn't know that story but now I do.
If I am in his place I may not do that though. If my business will fall or not is relying on my luck from betting then I may not be a good businessman at all.
It's a good story but it should stop there.
Gambling for me should be entertainment and not be a savior of a debt, a company's life, bills payment, (yes, I have heard stories they do that) mortgage, or anything that has to do with daily or monthly necessities. What if it's a loss? That's when people get crazy thoughts.

If you are destined to live a wonderfully wealthy life, you will do that eventually. Your efforts will bear fruits. But if you are destined otherwise, you will live a very different life. Since no one knows their destiny, we all have to keep on trying.
Surely so that we can't take away the aspect of destiny in our lives and the role that luck also plays. Destiny, luck and effort are really better match. Example if he was not destined to come back and succeed, the money reinvested would have also gone with the wind. There are numerous of people that have failed after reinvesting casino winning into their business and yet didn't come out of it. It is a nice story however and his decision worked for him too.
People who had studied business, are usually aware of this story of FedEx. However, if Smith had lost that week, the story would have been a lot different. Casino can change the fortune of fortunate people. I am not sure if you believe in destiny or not, but I am a strong believer of destiny.

Smith, founder of FedEx, started his business with 84 million us dollar.
If he started this business with 84 million US dollars then he was a very rich guy, I don't believe he didn't have other businesses because if he didn't have other businesses then how did he get 84 million US dollars?
He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week.
In this part there is something I need to understand, did he have 5000$ to play for fun or was it the last 5000$ he had? I can't believe the guy was so broke that he only got 5000$, he played managed to get 27000$ by luck and from what I can see he didn't play again, or did he?
How true is the story?
I honestly don't believe this story either.
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.

A business man wouldn't really be that stupid to gamble his money knowing there is no assurance to win. But perhaps luck had helped him.
He has millions when he start FedEx, of course he has strategic plans. He didnt even stop there for the company strategically made a placement thru a bluckbuster movie "Cast Away" making FedEx very popular.

An interesting story, but I would not agree with the conclusions that are suggested here. It seems to me that the main figure here is the founder of the company, and circumstances may not have played any role at all - for example, if he had lost these 5,000 dollars, then I think he would not have been upset. On the contrary, he would clear his mind of doubts and stupid ideas about winning at the casino and in the same way would work with tripled energy and still succeed.
Ofcourse they can but the probability of that happening is closer to none, therefore at the end of the day some people might not even try, I know a few uncle of mine who have been buying lottery tickets and for them the best part of their life would be winning one, but unfortunately her is now 55 and doing that since he was a child as well.
I do think the way to proceed with these things would be to accept and understand that you might not win and therefore in an event that you have a positive outcome, you would be able to enjoy it, I know negative thinking might turn some faces but at the end of the day I do believe, it's the best way to go about in terms of gambling.

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.
This is the bad side of online casino, if you win very big than your aggregate losses or didn't wager a lot, most of the cases the casino wouldn't pay the winning amount since they're trying to find your fault to confiscate your winning. It's true house edge make the casino will always win in the future, but no one can control the luck. So if it's a day for that's gambler, he could beat the house edge.
Betting the last money. Just thinking about it gives me the chills.
It may be a success but not everyone will have the same luck as he did. It should not be recommended to anyone whose company is in the verge of bankruptcy. There are other options like bank loans to save the business and I would rather add that remaining $5k to save it. So I would need just $22k more.
I am glad it all worked out for him though.

He was just lucky i suppose, but how many users are this lucky? what if he had lost the money, he was already depressed if he had lost more possibly he may have ended his life. There are many other scenarios that could have played out if not for luck. I agree that casinos can play a role in changing fortunes when one is lucky, but how do you know when you look will play out or not, is the big question?Analysing how Mr Smith entered the casino, I am setting he had no intentions whatsoever to win, he most probably just came to play and have some fun maybe as a solution to his depression. in my opinion I think our intentions when playing in casinos matter a lot. if you play with an intent to win you might over analyse situations and make mistakes in the process. but when you play more freely, maybe just for fun, luck may shine on you.
Great story and that's part of his history now.
But as a businessman, going with the casino with your last capital or money isn't really ideal. Many he just got really lucky and we can tell that it has changed his life then after that.
Although it's not just all about gambling but mainly his way of managing his business and that's why it has grown. Having that said, it's a very rare occassion to have the same story as his.

Some interesting information about this guy
- He was indicted in 1975 for faking his sister's signature to gain unauthorized access to their family's trust fund[1].
And it is clear that he in it for the money. I was thinking that perhaps, it has something to do with his business during that time or he has personal gambling issues.
