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 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.

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. Wink

Good to have stories like these. Gamblers who knew better than to give the money they won back to the casino one way or another, and actually doing something with the money they won that could better their lives. If only every gambler thinks this way but no, every other buffoon out there thinks they can catch their big breaks inside the casino, when what they should be doing is actually busting their asses out there to find a work that suits every facet of their lives.

So yeah, this also goes without saying that you shouldn't look into gambling as a means of profit, nor should you look for it as your golden ticket to a better life. It's a massive miracle and a luck of the draw that OP won such an amount but I reckon that everyone out here wouldn't be as lucky as him. Gamble for entertainment and nothing else. If the jackpot comes in then great, but don't expect it at all. Keep a level head when you play and don't be stupid.

Gambling is great when you win, but it's even better when you're not losing, if you know what I mean.

Maybe you're careful, but there are people who will set out to find significant way in gambling that will change their life and they will find themselves gambling for money and no longer for some kind of fun. some of these people may even get so fixed on the idea that they can make a life changing amount from gambling, and they carry gambling as a career. These are the people that stand more to become depressed whenever they loose from gambling.

I have not really had any significant win in gambling, not close to what I target to win. Not that I have not had huge multipliers but the bet I get big multipliers are usually played with small money, hence the win become very small and insignificant. I hope I really win significant amount one day.

Anytime that significant win comes, my target is to use it and establish a business that can be generating profit from me, this way I will have enough funds to finance my gambling and do other stuffs. The last thing I will do is to give the money back and instead of that, I am ready to stop gambling until the business is established. One thing about me is that I'm not in a hurry to become rich, so any money that enters my hands will be used judiciously.

Like most of the commentators on this topic, I have not been one of the lucky ones to win large sums of money every time I have tried my luck throughout my life. I do not deny that I tried to achieve this a few times, but it was for the sake of entertainment and nothing more. I mean, I couldn't believe that my life would change with a small bet of no more than $20.

At the same time, I have witnessed on a few occasions how someone's life turned rich simply by winning a bet. The amount may not have been considered large if the winner had been in one of the major industrialized countries, but the amount of 15-20 thousand euros is capable of changing the life of any person for the better in any of the developing countries.

It is a legitimate dream for every player, but it is not a goal in itself for everyone who practices gambling. I have seen many cases here in the forum announcing profits with imaginary numbers, and many times I doubted someone’s story until proof was provided, because some platforms advertise themselves by announcing fake profits.

I'm still looking for that significant win that will change my life, but it's elusive. The biggest win I got was when I bought a new motorcycle. My winning is a big blessing, but it is not something that will change your life like what you have shown us.
But in case I win a significant amount, I know what I will do with every cent of that winning, as I already handle big money from investing in Bitcoin, but it will be better this time.

Congratulations on your win, and especially that you managed to turn it into something lucrative instead of blowing them away in gambling, something that a large number of gamblers would have done. I highly doubt there are many users here who have won a life-changing amount of money. I personally haven't had any significant wins that could alter my daily life, and I doubt I'll ever have due to my gambling style. The most I've won is approximately $130 to $150; I don't remember exactly, and it was through sports betting.

Yes, and indeed that is the best thing that all gamblers should do when they win, namely to use the proceeds from their winnings for whatever they need in life, for example to fulfill everything they need at that time. There is nothing better than just that decision, because if you don't move quickly to cash out and use it, then of course there is a possibility that you will suffer the same fate as other gamblers who end up losing all the money they have previously won.

So far, yes, I also have a fate that is probably more or less the same as you, where I have never gotten something very significant like other people, it could be because of the luck factor which is difficult to get, or because of my gambling style, because usually in gambling When I gamble using capital of $10, for example, when it grows to $40 - $50, I immediately withdraw it, because that amount is more than 2x my initial capital.

If you do not have time to gamble, that is not bad. There are some people in life that are so busy and not having time to gamble. My time are mostly filled up with work and sleep as I rarely have time. I gamble just one or two times in a week when I am relaxing. Gambling is for fun but if you do not see it as fun, then do not gamble.

As for me I have won money from gambling which can feed me for weeks or months but I have not won the money that I can use to establish a business. I am not even looking for money to establish a business from gambling, neither am I looking for money that can feed me for weeks or months from gambling.

I can say I made significant profits from gambling but not enough to start a business of my own, but only to feed me days or weeks which I think is still a good thing. So until now I'm still into gambling hoping to end up with a big win someday and make it as a starting point to realize my dream and make it happen. But I make sure that I stay responsible with my gambling expenses so as not to lose more than I am comfortable of losing.

That is a good story, however I cannot really empathize as I have never really got any kind of big win, and this is because the amount of money I bet is very low, so on the instances in which I have won, I do not really receive a massive amount of money or anything like that, still it is interesting to read the stories of those that have gone through this process and obtained benefits out of it, as it is often the case that those that have obtained a big win eventually lose it all anyway.

It is good to use money won from gambling to start up something that can generate good income. The mistake people make is that is after they might have won big from gambling they alway have this mentality that if they gamble they will always have the chance to win big again. Winning is good but some gamblers who don't understand gambling very well always allow their big win to be a trap for them by chasing more wins which can also lead to more lose. Gambling is a game of luck which gamblers needs to understand it very well and never be carried away and still maintain the limit of their gambling style .

You actually have a good advantage of your big win in gambling since you were able to achieve a business with it, unlike me, where the biggest win I had in gambling and what I used it for ended up crashing due to some minor unexpected. Even with the biggest win I got in gambling, I was able to use the money to buy some stocks so that I can sell them in the future, but unfortunately, the plans that I saved the stocks for were totally burned down by fire.

I was very sad when the incident happened, but I still continue to gamble, and up until now I have not been able to win anything big, so I sometimes feel like maybe I was not meant to be a gambler, but I just keep gambling and am not still addicted to it. That is why I think I will get lucky one day if I don’t give up.

It did go back into the casino honestly. All my life gambling I have only two significant wins and the first time was when I started gambling. So along the line, I noticed it was a bad idea to leave money in my casino account when I had a big win and I regretted if I had removed the money there wouldn't have been any temptation to gamble more with the money.

When I had my second big win I immediately removed the money so that I won't make the same mistake twice. Only left a few dollars in case I needed to gamble later on. Yes, it did work so well because it is better when you win to take your profits, and when you lose you accept it as well.

During the pandemic, many companies were not able to pay salaries and it affected many families. The government had announced a lockdown that would last for a few weeks and there was no money to buy foodstuffs that will last this three weeks. I had to risk some money I took from someone to gamble. It was a day I will never forget in my life. I was just so lucky that I won big after a few games. I immediately called one of my family members to come around the betting shop and I withdrew all the money I won and gave her part of it to rush to the market to buy foodstuffs. I used the other part of my win as backup funds for the period of the lockdown. That was how gambling saved my family from trouble.

Seriously, I am surprised to see someone win a good amount of money from gambling and decide to divert the money into other things. Most people that I know who are gamblers, after winning from gambling, they do end up losing the money back on gambling all in the name of trying to win more amounts, and some do end up spending the money on things that are not really necessary.

But even if you have the mindset of diverting the money won from gambling to other businesses, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t gamble responsibly, because don’t be surprised that you might not even win a big amount of money from gambling, which will be enough for the business that you are planning to do.

The thun is that some people has make well through gambling and some people also have lose many things through gambling, so that is why I always emphasize that gambling is all about opportunity or luck because you may participate in gambling like seriously over a two years or three years constantly and you have not benefits anything in gambling, so therefore I believe that gambling is something you can gamble and obtain profit when you manage your winning with gambling, many people who lucky enough to win a reasonable amount of fund's in gambling have become somebody now, because I could remember someone who has use gambling money to build a renting apartment and till date it still fetching the person more fund's.

Gambling! It's a coin of two different faces and as a gambler your story about gambling majorly depends on which face of the coin your experience lies. Gambling as I know has made some people, changed their quality of life with just one huge lucky win and simultaneously it has also mar and destroy the quality of life of others too.
Just as you've rightly said, every gambler just have to manage to ensure they stay in control of how they gamble not to get ruined by it and in pleasant situations where you get a chance of earning a win, be it a reasonable amount or not what should be is that you make good use of the money to add value to your affairs.

For the title OP How has a significant win in gambling changed your life? , this is my answer;

There is no circumstance that can change my life when I get a big victory in gambling. On average, every victory obtained from gambling only feels the usual because the money from gambling victory is also intended to gamble again even though I have used several opportunities to pay electricity bills and the internet and buy cigarettes or other snacks.
Hope the feelings that can change my life from gambling do not exist.

Since I started gambling for more so many years now, I have not recorded any huge wins that can be enough to invest in any asset that can generate more income. As a matter of fact, I have even said I spent a lot of money in gambling compared to what I have benefited from it, because if you win and don't stop gambling, you will still be losing the money gradually until you have lost all the winnings you made initially without realizing it. Although I normally use my winnings for important things, the money might not be significant, but it serves a good purpose most of the of the time.

The thing is some times we would try possible best to predict multiple games and when we finally placed the bets all of a sudden we mange to get some lucky winning but those wins are little compared to what we want. And the truth is we can not will a million dollars of we don't predict to win a million dollars. Am only trying to say that only the amount we predict that we can win. Unless the jackpot his out tickets, and the chance of jackpots is just 1% and we are not even sure about. Even if we haven't won a big cash from gamble the thing is a gambler will always have hope that one day he will win big amounts, but one can't win big amounts when he's not betting on higger odds.

I still want to believe that not all gamblers have experienced the so called significant win, because by the way of interpretation, a significant win could be in having a huge win like for someone to win a jackpot, but not everyone of us might have been privilege in this category, despite in which we might have been winning over time but not in a significant figure, either of the case, we can still record a successful achievement even with the little we may have won from gambling.

I'm one of those who expect little to almost nothing from a casino winning. I don't place bets with large amounts, so I don't even expect a life-changing win from it as well, but if that happens, it will be an added advantage to achieving my dream real quick.

and I won't even mess around with the winnings as I have always learned how to take profit from whatever I involve myself in, be it crypto or gambling, no matter how small, so my big wins have not gone back to the casino because I have not had one and won't even go back if I ever have one.

One thing you must understand is that many people has their plans of gambling and if they wins they established themselves through the money they have gotten from their winnings, meaning these sets of people are opportunist waiting for to secure winning from gambling to established themselves. While there are people who already made it big time for themselves and just decides to gamble to make themselves happy not necessarily mean that they are believing on gambling to make money, so when the money comes like any little winning they got it and could be used to fuel back their gambling exercise.

I have nut really make such a significant money from gambling but I am always ready and waiting for when that time will commenced. Gambling is fun and I have learn from the hard way to always bet on games that could earn me profits not trying random games at the same time just to make money from gambling. Addiction is one thing we might keep getting from gambling if we are not smart and vigilant enough to know when to bet and when not to bet. I can make money from gambling and keep the record if I feel like especially when the money is big and I can't just keep it to myself.
