I haven't really experienced a big significant win that changed my life but if I did, I think I would be able to really put it into a business like other members suggested. I would easily pay off some of the things that I have been wanting but I would put majority of it in investments.
The important thing is that you manage yourself to become more smart with money and manage it accordingly.

i have never really won a huge amount to change my life too significantly
i mean of course it was good and i got to treat my friends and family and myself as well but it wasn’t enough for me to make it into a business or build a house or buy a car of course it would be nice to do so i hope i do in the future but so far all i have gotten from more gambling is some lessons and a few losses

I have not won a significant amount of money in gambling, but if I do in the future, I have a plan on what to do with the money; some of my wins only cover a month or two budget and paying bills and I'm happy with that.
The only game that I can think of where I can make significant money that can change my life is winning on a lotto because it's cheap to bet in a lotto and I am not gambling a huge amount of money in casinos.
If ever I win a substantial amount of money I'm sure I can do similar to what OP has done with the money because I have plans with the money too.

I don't have big wins from gambling, big as in life changing amounts. I've won relatively big amounts though, perhaps around a thousand dollars but in the middle of a gambling session. Meaning, I didn't really go home bringing that amount. You know, when you're in the heat of betting, it escapes your mind to just quit and go home. The adrenaline remains high and you continue to bet. The bigger the money in your hands, the bigger your bet becomes.
I think the only way for me to win life-changing amounts in gambling is through state-sponsored lottery jackpots. When that happens, I would no longer work.
Same. Never win a large amount let alone can change the life to be richer, with a win of $1000 it is already big for us especially with that win the game will continue with the stakes increasing so greed will always be there and try to hope to win big again.I think the only way for me to win life-changing amounts in gambling is through state-sponsored lottery jackpots. When that happens, I would no longer work.
When it comes to lottery winnings I believe it can change someone's life into a billionaire. There have been many news where someone calms the lottery with the amount of millions of dollars they become rich in an instant.
There were big wins, of course, but they were spent on household chores and studies, this was back during my student days and were not lost again. Yes, I continue to play, but much less than even five years ago, because there is simply not enough time, there is there are many other worries. I’m glad for you that you were able to win the opportunity to open your own business, although not a big one, as far as I understand.
Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.
OP, you are a very lucky man to win big amount of money that you put into several businesses, that shows that you are a responsible gambler for investing the money. Gambling can be a life changer to some gamblers who had the opportunity to win big but a lof of them will not be able to invest it.I have not being that lucky to the point of winning a good amount of money that I can invest but I was able to buy something from the little that I win that I got from the casino and this is was I understand how to use the money from your wins wisely. Back days I gamble it back to the casino because i was not satisfied with it.
Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.
I never really had any. I have never been an aggressive gambler which means that I have always been moderate with my gambling activities, and never spent a lot of money on it, with that being my way of gambling, I have never had any significant or life-changing wins in my entire gambling career.
I have never chased big wins as well. Some people tend to spend a lot of money thinking that in one of these bets, they will get a big win and possibly recover their lost money and get something on top of it but that isn't how gambling works.
It's good that you made good use of the money you have won, most people wouldn't know the best way to spend such money even if they manage to withdraw it from the casino.

That's a beginner luck for you because you can wins much money and you can use that for new business venture. It's rare for beginners to wins much money as they can lose their money in the first time they playing gambling. The other luck you gets is you can generate some money from that ventures and have passive income which many people wants. That changed your life and not many people can gets that luck so you are one of the lucky person who gets that.
Although you still playing gambling but you can control yourself better so you don't lose much money. You can focus with your business and balance your life which that is difficult for many people. Well, that is a bless for you because you can changed your life better and have a passive income. You must manage that properly so you can have better life for you and family.

I wish to have such significant win that change my life but in fact I've been gambling for more than 10 years but no single win that change my life significantly.
Of course I realize it well because I'm gambling with so low amount of money so it is almost impossible for me to win a huge amount.
I may win signficant amount with low bet amount but the chance is quite low ofc, because I'll need to win so huge multiplier.
Although I wish to win significant amount but I have to be more realistic because of my own capability in gambling.

Congratulations on your big win and congratulations also on your success in generating passive income from the business you started. Carrying out financial management is very important to maintain financial stability in old age, you have succeeded in overcoming desires to prioritize needs. The money you earn from gambling has given you the capital to build a business and the brilliant ideas you have have made your desire to manage that money wisely come true.
I also have a dream of building my own business but financial limitations have prevented me from becoming a businessman. Maybe I should wait for luck like you to start all that.

I still gamble, but not as much as I did before... because time management has become an issue. This will not secure my retirement, but it gives me some freedom to experiment with more ideas. (I still need to work between 8 to 10 hours per day.... and weekends, but I have something to fall back on, if something bad happens)
Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.
People do often gambling because they want to earn a large amount of money that they will say it will change their life some players did this somehow like they use their money to build an asset so they dont back to their previous life and have a money casual generating without thinking too much where do they will get a money, but the opposite of that is those people saying they will change but after won a large of money they keep playing because they want to earn more like they experience but the outcome doesn't what they expect instead they lose more their winnings including their capital at the end they back to zero.
Assuming the story told by the OP is true, it is an exception but a very exceptional one. Good luck finding people here who tell similar stories that are not made up. The most normal thing we've seen around here is someone who makes a lot of money from gambling ends up losing it all and more.
In my case as it is about small regular and stable income it is not the same.

One thing I find interesting about this post is how you spend your money after a significant win. This shows how responsible you are. A lot of gamblers will squander such money within a twinkle of an eye and come back running to gambling because there is more where the previous one came from. An irresponsible gambler is not just one who spends so much money and time on gambling, an irresponsible gambler does not know how to utilise money. He spends recklessly and goes back to gambling almost immediately. Anyone who invests his money just like you did is wise.
Totally agreed, there’s some success story of popular company CEO like Fedex that has same pattern of using the gambling win for his company expenses.
I really like the idea of starting a business using the gambling profit so that my attention will be away for gambling to avoid losing it back to the casino. Most of the time gamblers that experience win keeps coming back because they want to earn more which the opposite results. Business passive income can be use to fund gambling without damaging finances of person because it’s a consistent source.
@OP should mention what type of business he started so that we can have picture of what he is doing right now.
I now have something that can generate some "passive" income and something that needs a lot of my time and attention, but overall it improved my quality of living and it encouraged me to follow my dreams.
Cheering you for that and I hope that you'll continue to follow your dreams freely. Compared to the others that don't have passive income and still living pay check to pay check and still gambles, that's giving them hard time to cope up with that need because it slashes a part of their salary instead of going it to something else. But as long as they're gambling consciously and moderately, they're on their own.I still gamble, but not as much as I did before... because time management has become an issue.

Freedom is already a sign that you're ready for retirement. As long as you do things lightly and you don't have to be working hardly for them and you get to gamble some and have time for it, I guess that you're living the life already and I congratulate you for that. 
I hope so too. But damn online casinos are so good at getting back all the money that we won, sometimes it is slow sometimes it's fast. Congratulations on what happened to you. You are one of the rare things that can happen in gambling, like that FedEx guy. Well, the lesson to this story is, that we must exit if we win and use it for something else, something that will keep us making money and probably not rotting. If we just go back to gambling, I don't think we can be successful here. Bet what you can but have a plan on when to stop because there will be a time that it will come but are we ready enough to run away with the money or our greed will eat us and try more? It's our own choice.
Yes, you actually spoke lots of sense in what you said above, because one thing I also noticed about O.P's story is that at least he/she was able to have full control over his/her gambling activities, as I'm sure he is not the only who may have won big from gambling, but what differentiate him from others is that at least he was able to make good use of the money, as it came for something tangible, which is one thing we all need to learn as gamblers if we are opportuned to big wins, since such rare scenarios comes just only once in a blue moon. However, I just wished I have ever won a big win, as I would have really love to share my story, but the truth is that I have always been an average winner, he usually gets plenty of loses and few wins. As I will really love to hear from O.P if he has got any trick or specific game which he plays that has potential for huge wins. Do you? 
When I started gambling a few years ago, I won a pretty big amount of money and that opened new doors for me to pursue new business ventures. Some of these ideas panned out and some flopped miserably, but I still managed to generate some money from the the ventures that were successful.

I have not gotten to that point in gambling where I can comfortably say I have made a significant win or loss that have changed my life or my perception about gambling. If I ever make such a win, I do not think I will quit gambling because even right now, my gambling habit does not interfer with my personal life and i will utilise such money so well that I'll forever be grateful for that win.I now have something that can generate some "passive" income and something that needs a lot of my time and attention, but overall it improved my quality of living and it encouraged me to follow my dreams.

That's an advantage when you've got your own passive income and that gives you more freedom to do your stuff whether it's with gambling, another hobby, or something else.I now have something that can generate some "passive" income and something that needs a lot of my time and attention, but overall it improved my quality of living and it encouraged me to follow my dreams.

And this is the literal win in life, you may be humbly saying that it's not yet securing your retirement but you're getting there.
Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.
This is a great reminder to everyone that don't secure their profits. 
Hopefully, yours as well.
It’s very rare for someone to win huge amount of money immediately in gambling before they lose first. Your case is one of the most lucky turn event for someone who gamble because you have a chance to bailout early on gambling risk and focus to your business using the profit.
There’s a high chance that your profit in gambling will be lose again in the process due to the game house edge that guarantee house win in the long run.
If ever I will win significant amount in gambling, I will probably do the same but I doubt this will happened since I only play using small bankroll and mostly bet on safe bets that is not possible to turn out to be massive win.

I have read and heard different stories of people winning big in gambling but never have I been able to hit anything good that I can classify as big win - I usually gamble with little money and then try to do some parlay and also accumulate some games to give me a big odds but at the end of the day I always end up with nothing - at most I’ll only be able to double my initial deposit or increase it to like 5 times but nothing more than that.
The only time I new I had something from gambling was when I managed to hit a NDBs (free spins) and I ended up with a little from it - it was not that much but the fact that I didn’t have to deposit anything to get it made it worth more for me but still it’s still not enough to call a life changing amount.
