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.
Someone close to me was/is a chronic sport gamblers. I do not understand what keeps him gambling. Probably the hope of winning big or just addiction?
Sometimes it breaks me seeing him regularly with POS receipts from betting centers , playing and hoping he wins big one day.
He wins once in awhile though but they are little wins
