Topic: How has a significant win in gambling changed your life? - page 7. (Read 1726 times)

I didn't know about your story Kakmakr, it's nice that you shared it with us. There are also positive gambling stories and it's always nice to hear one, I'm glad for you.

I have had a lot of nice wins, but I have never won a life-changing amount. Like you, I don't gamble like I used to, I don't have as much free time and now most of the money goes to the family, so I can't relax like I used to. But I'm still playing, and who knows... maybe I will hit a jackpot one day, something really significant. As long as we are trying we have some chances...

Huge win could really change your life or instantly flip your life upside down, the thing is that on how the person or gambler manages its win, I mean if you are a responsible gambler and know how to handle money then surely you could change your life completely but if you are a gambler that isn't responsible then expect that your winning money could perish instantly and there will be no changes in your life, so choose, if you really want to make your life better then if you win make it worth or you could stay away in gambling because hoping to much could also not be good.

The difference is from some people who have said it here related to the victory of the casino. I have never experienced a victory with a fantastic nominal money. If I am not forbidden to dream as if I am one of the winners of gambling in a fantastic amount, then I will use the money for other activities that can bring in me income without having to return to gamble. But unfortunately, it never happened to me so that in gambling that I did not target to become rich but for reasons to enjoy challenges and opportunities.

That will not be a proble if you use only small amount from the winning to get back in playing gambling but you must be careful because if you lose, there will be an intention to keeps playing gambling without stops. That can makes you use all of your money to wins more money and that's happens to many people out there. They are forgets to control themselves when playing gambling and not realizes that when they wins, that will be the best time to quit gambling.

There's nothing wrong to keeps playing gambling after winning but we must have good self control to holds ourselves to playing gambling excessively. There will be a tend to chase the big wins especially if our greediness increase and we can't stop from playing gambling. We must prevents to chase the big wins especially if we already wins before so we just needs to enjoy the wins money.

When I win, I usually withdraw immediately and it is not uncommon for me to leave a small balance to continue playing. Several times I was still able to win and withdraw my winnings again from the remaining balance I withdrew previously, the amount could reach 5 times the balance I had left. So I feel continued good luck. However, it is not uncommon for me to withdraw all the balance I win from gambling and immediately enjoy it to buy something.
I always set limits on when I should withdraw from gambling, especially after I win. The reason is that our winnings turn into defeats if I continue gambling. I felt that a lot when I first started gambling. I used to think that if I continued gambling I could get bigger wins, but that was all wrong because in the end I couldn't enjoy anything. That is a form of greed that I now avoid.

I'm not from that class of the iconic winners who made their fortune from gambling. But let me to dream. If I were in their shoes I , most likely, would have some pragmatic rather than romantic desires which would prevent me from the daily routines and open up opportunities to feel  myself as a fully free man.

I usually spend small winnings to get back into betting at the casino. As for bigger wins, I rarely get them, maybe we could call them the biggest wins for every gambler, which of course is different. I will withdraw and spend it. it can run out or leave little to continue the game.
I don't think there's anything wrong with returning to play after winning. even with the winning results that we have obtained. in fact, we will also return to betting regardless of whether we make a withdrawal for our enjoyment or not.

Usually, all winnings will come from small bets with high multipliers or just a medium amount with low multipliers because these two formulas allow us to lighten our mood when betting and from there, the assessment of winning becomes insignificant, besides, once we take it a step further by placing a larger bet , the return rate is also negative and fails. Significant wins are hard to come by for casino managers, moreover, a gambler's personality is too strong and we always indulge in gambling more, instead of trying to reshape our lives.

I am not a gambler who can boast of big winnings, but yes, I am a fan of various lotteries. And those lotteries that I was lucky to win were spent on pleasure since I have the opinion that what comes easily can be easily spent. However, of course, if I suddenly win a very large amount, then I’m unlikely to stick to my easy spending formula.

It's a pitfall most gamblers fall into. Don't feel bad and blame yourself in case you're put in that position; you won't be the first one nor the last one to blow your winnings away. Withdrawing and leaving your initial deposit is sometimes the best strategy for retaining your earnings. I'll deposit $40, put them towards a football game, win $60, withdraw these, and leave the initial $40 intact. So far, it has been the safest strategy I've come up with. If I end up losing my balance, I'll simply deposit back some of my earnings, it's inevitable.

I have never won any big prizes from gambling. Until few years ago I had a positive gambling history, with more winnings than losses, but nothing extraordinary to start a business or a passive income investment. It ended that I hit the feared long term in gambling and my profits turned into losses from that day on. Then I retreated from my gambling activities because I didn't want to lose more than I had already lost.

But if I had the opportunity to win a jackpot I would definitely start a new investment with the prize won. It would really depend on the sum. If it was something really impressive, I would buy a property, but if it wouldn't be enough, to buy some assets or keep the money invested in BTC is the answer. Diversification is the key, always focused in long term returns.

Actually anyone could really be that able to do such thing. It would really be just that depending into someones self control and moderation in regarding about into their winnings on which if you are someone
who do really loves gambling or simply being greedy then you would really be definitely be playing even more or going further. You wont really be thinking about securing those winnings or making withdrawals
on the moment that you are on the winning situation on which you would really be mainly thinking about to play more since you would really be that playing even further. This is why gambling business is really that profitable because they are really that mainly thinking on winning more and this is a continous cyle. OP itself is one of the few of gamblers who do make out such good decision.

If you are really that sensible into your actions or what you are dealing with then you could really be that easily be able to point out on which one is really that sensible on doing so.
It would be always best that on the time that you do able to win up big then you should really know on how you would really be able to act on the moment that you do able to encounter such condition.
When winning up then it would be best that you should be securing those wins accordingly.

That's because they don't have financial education or basics. Those that have got money the easiest way are likely to spend it easier too.

If a broke man became rich and has got a rugs to riches story, that person is unlikely to get back to his former life.

But if someone who has won a jackpot and don't know how to do it but spend recklessly, it's not a surprising story anymore.

Your story is very interesting and can provide motivation for all of us to make good use of big winnings from gambling to build a business to get real profits.

Good hope, but unfortunately almost a small portion of gamblers in today's era of advanced technology can't control themselves when getting big wins and must end up with regret after turning himself into a greedy. Many cases a gambler gets big wins but wants to get even bigger outcomes but the fact is he loses all his wins.
I've actually also had a problem like this in the past but this problem gives a valuable lesson to myself to always take advantage of wins from gambling used for something more profitable.

Of course everyone hopes that a big win will happen and happen to them, but this is very difficult to happen, I gamble the same as you with small amounts so the winnings obtained are also small by adjusting the amount of bets made. I once got a big win which really helped me fulfill my desires, it made me happy, but obviously it didn't drastically change my life for the better because winning at gambling is a temporary thing, including those who can get a big win by changing their lives, I think it will only be temporary.

What needs to be paid attention to is the hope we have in gambling, don't let the hope we have make us forget ourselves when gambling, because when that happens what will happen to life is chaos, not change for the better. There is no clear statement regarding winnings from gambling, so as much as possible we have to limit everything. When the business you are developing is running, it doesn't mean you have to stop gambling. If you can control yourself well, I don't think it's a problem if you still want to gamble. because the important thing is that you can control yourself and your thoughts, if you can control yourself well everything will be fine, including the business you are developing.

If I had ever had any big wins that went back to the casino, I did partially be happy and proud that atleast, sometime in the past, Ive had a big win that I didnt manage well; and as a result, I lost it back to the casino.
But unfortunately here as from way back I started gambling till today, I've never won any amount of money I could say is tangible or substantial, all my winnings have always been in few tens of dollar, only ones have I won amount in a few hundreds of dollars, which if I still remember well, was around $230, this has been my highest win in gambling.

Though to be honest with you, I am not a frequent gambler, I only gamble once in a while, and this once in a while simply means that sometimes and periods, I can go for several months without gambling, so, this is possibly the reason why I may not have encountered a substantial win.

man I'll say, you must have been very lucky to beat the odds of securing a win and being productive with it. It doesn't happen in every story; someone out there is looking for an opportunity to subdue the urge of wagering away their winnings for everytime it comes, yet it becomes a big problem and even when they're winning frequently, they don't have any success story.

In whatever you do, don't forsake a business that fetches you good money over gambling... The day you make stupid decisions is the day you begin to pay stupid prices for it...
Stay put to whatever capital that you've realized innit and keep our habits low if you must succeed more.

It's just sad to hear other people stories that after they won huge amount of money they used to live to the fullest without knowing that their lives have been broke because of that money. There's a story of a man I've known in my place who've got the jackpot but ended up worst in the end, he let his health gone bad as he enjoyed his winnings for several travels and without even caring of himself. However, his family got his fortune but it went nothing as he left this world with history.

My first big win in gambling didn't end up well; I became greedy and wagered it again for weeks with a desire to make it bigger but ended up losing everything. That was around $3k which I won on slots. Good thing is that I learned something. I switched to sports betting and limit myself from betting big amounts. I also made it a habit to secure the profit whenever I am winning. My second big win is around $5k and it is still on my savings, I don't gamble that much as well unlike with before. I learned it the hard way that winning won't be always on our side thus we should be knowing our boundaries.
It will someday come but never push yourself too much for it. Congratulations still for winning those amounts at least for now. Significant win is subjective actually, depends on how a gambler would see it.A x10 pofit is already significant for me 'coz jackpot or the life changing amount is on a different level.

This is a frequent question and I think that the people who had a very big and positive impact on their life are very far and few so it's kind of a pointless question.

If someone won big in gambling and are willing to speak they've probably already done so. You can look at the documentaries about lottery winners for instance and decide for yourself if it's worth pursuing the astronomically low odds of winning big in a lottery for instance. To try and find similar cases here isn't worth the effort in my honest opinion because there's going to be only a few people and likely none among here. So what's the discussion going to be? Makebelieve?

Now that I think about it, making a discussion about a hypothetical win would be more interesting because at least people could be more true to themselves and say what they actually think.
