A guy from my town won over €35.000 a few weeks ago on sports betting. A few local sites and forums talked about it back then. Someone even posted a picture of him in an online article but it was removed for his own safety. Turns out that we often go out in the same bars, and I remember seeing him many times but I don't know him in real life except a few occasional 'Hi, How are you doing?' type of greeting here and there.
I don't know anyone close to me who has had much success in gambling though.
Waoh that is so interesting, I think most of this major wins are more common with spot bettors, I have also head of a similar huge win, can’t remember the amount precisely but it was huge, and I learnt the guy won it from a local casino center, it’s possible is the same winner I read about but this one has happened over 4 years ago, the news went viral and it pushed a lot of young people into betting because they thought it was so easy.
I have never seen anyone I know win in gambling, in short I am surrounded more with gambling losers, my friend lost very big money just last month so I’m been careful in playing to avoid mistakes. I recently read on the forum of a guy that won over 51BTC in primedice. How do these guys do it.
I have seen so many winners, in short very big winners and its surprising when I see people say they have never seen one. In my country people win very well especially in offline casino , I met one last year and he won over 100,000 dollars, according to him, that is not even his first time of winning and apart from that I have also read how a lot of people win online.
Gambling is smartness, there are plenty winners, its just that the losers are more because normally once it has to do with money, people tend to become so greedy . Try and have interview with winners and you will realize that they are all not greedy people.
