Topic: How has a significant win in gambling changed your life? - page 9. (Read 1726 times)

Until now I have never found my big luck in gambling. When gambling I spend more money than I win. Some of the small wins that I got were just sweeteners given by gambling sites, perhaps with the aim of making me always curious about gambling and continuing to bet.

Being able to win big at gambling is something I have dreamed of since I first entered the world of gambling. Because through this big win, it might be able to change my life and financial situation instantly. However, this is just a daydream, because being able to get a big win is not just one thing; which is quite easy, and could even be said to be impossible, considering that the possibility of getting it is very small. Therefore, personally I cannot rely on gambling to change my life and financial condition. To get a better life and have financial freedom, we have to take real and rational steps. However, if we get our luck in gambling, then never waste this opportunity.

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.

Good for you and this is usually happens into those people who do have that kind of sensibility or awareness into their actions on which it would really be causing up for them to have that actions on the moment that they would be able to encounter such condition. If you are someone whose really that mindful about your future and doesnt really want to mess up your financial status or condition then pretty sure you would really be mainly thinking about those other things on which you do know that it could give out that potential profits or passive income on which you wont really be that trying out to be that depending into your 8-5 job. We are really that thriving or doing our very best on trying to achieve such success because passive income could really be the pinnacle of success or on the moment that you could provide everything without doing much work.

This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be securing up some wins if ever you have win up some significant amount on which putting up into that much more worth
rather than on losing it back again in o the house. This is why you should really be that sensible on the things or actions you would really be that making.

Your experience seems like you got a very big win from gambling that could change your life to where you are today, unfortunately I never got a big win that could make me change my life for the better or could be used to open a new business.

Maybe from some winnings I don't go back to gambling, but from all that nothing can change my life at all, it sucks until I almost give up, and think it's better to work on what I have to work on, what do you think about people like me sir who have never experienced big wins during their gambling experience, should I keep gambling or focus on my business?

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.

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.

I have won some nice prizes here thanks to a bookmaker (DirectBet) (I was the second player in their rank as "best gambler").

Their competitions allow to maximize my expertise in betting and in some specific live events.
Well, these amounts received have not changed my life (or at least not what I think is a real "change of life") but provide some chance for other investements and other activities/collaborations and so on...

The big win made me more addicted to gambling in the past, it made me addicted and always hope to experience the same thing again in gambling, yes it may be true that the big win changed my life but unfortunately I became more interested in gambling because of the big win and gambled blindly at other times after running out of money that had been won.

Maybe this kind of thing didn't only happen to me in the past, some people in my neighborhood also got a big win so they could buy cars and all kinds of things from gambling which in the end he also sold back what he had bought for gambling, haha this is very funny but such incidents did not happen to one person, I think Op is a pretty great person because he used the money he won to build a business and could control himself not to go further in gambling, and his gambling remained regular despite getting a big win.

I never had any significant win that counts as an extra win compared to my losses on every casino. Probably I’m not a lucky gambler or it is just the way casinos are built to not make you win significant amounts. You may tell us the way you won that amount of money, it must be over $10k to be able afford opening multiple businesses, and how much did you put on your gambling deposit.

However, let’s say I won a significant amount (Which I believe is not possible for me), the first thing to do is withdrawing that amount, and make plans on how to invest it for a passive income. It will change my life to the better, as a moderate gambler, I will take that win as a chance for me to build a wealth for myself and family.

In the other side, If this win happens to someone who doesn’t have plans and never managed to control his gambling behavior and addiction, he would spend that win and give it back to the casino in a short time.

Op was very lucky that he has experience big win from gambling and he can create new bussiness from his money which can generate steady income from that and i am sure this will change his life significantly because he can make living from his new bussiness and during my gambling experience i was rare to heard the stories like this because usually most of gamblers always be experience to lost even with big money

Actually my dream is similar to OP that i was dreaming can win big from gambling and create bussiness for my future using those money but unfortunately it was never happend to me until now and about OP question so far gambling didn't change my life significantly because i never had any experience to win big from gambling and although i was expecting that happend to me someday but i didn't dare to expect more considering gambling results is very unpredictable

I have never won large sums of money in casinos and do not aspire to do so. Gambling is not a source of income or a way for me to change my life. Instead, I prefer to focus on other opportunities and ways to achieve my goals that help me reach my goals and improve my quality of life.

Me as well.

I've got some wins that are quite big for me but I won't consider that as significant as the others who have won with amounts that can change their lives.

Well, I am always amazed with the news that I am seeing with other people if ever they've won such life changing amounts and just as you give them reminder OP, I hope them as well that they won't waste that money when their time comes.

Gambling isn’t sure money. I have not won a big amount sadly from gambling. But yes, I managed to save a good amount through betting small amounts frequently. In order to get a good amount from gambling, you need to invest and bet a huge amount. But the catch here is that, in gambling, the risk involved is very high. Hence, to make some profit, you might lose the initial deposit also. I feel you need to win a jackpot to completely change your life; otherwise,  the winnings from gambling aren’t sufficient to open new part-time businesses or investments.

I don't really have that kind of huge winnings to become significantly a reason of changing my life. Even though given that chance of embracing successful amount of wins, I really don't think changing my lifestyle or whatsoever earthly things it is, because it's just material possessions in life.
Gambling is a temporary happiness, you can only find that satisfaction through affections coming from peers who loved us particular with our family and close friends. Money came from gambling isn't eternal, and what's essential was peace of mind and love.

Most persons are just interested in having a big win, whatever they will do after winning that money will be an afterthought because they didn't plan for it. That is why is important to have a business plan vested inside your mind, so when the big win comes, you can easily channel the money into it, because it will certainly come a time you will have some reflection on yourself and ask yourself what you did with that significant win you once had.

My first gambling big win kept me off ballance for more than 24hours because I was in shock. It was after then I started thinking of what to invest my money into, luckily I was able to get some personal assets for myself and for few family and friends.

Well, I am glad to read of a good ending story related to gambling in this forum some now and then. Usually we only read heartbreaking stories and outcomes around here and nothing else.
I have myself never experimented a big win while playing some of the casino games I usually spend time in, so there is not much I would add to this discussion.

Also, I believe the fact you were new to gambling helped a lot for you to withdraw your money and not to continue wagering, if you were more used to gambling and you had wagered important amounts of money before, then you would have already developed a tolerance to losing and you could have continue to gamble all that money in a relatively short period of time. So be grateful it happened to you when you had a small accumulated wager. 

I had a huge win way back years ago, I use the money to buy some property and some was put into investment. Sadly my investment fails miserably. I invested in two ventures( a photobooth and digital printing business ventures) with the same person (a close friend of mine and that was my worst mistake).  I was trustful that this person would do his best while I provided the finance since he was the one who offered that investment venture.  Sadly he slacks and the venture does not come to fruition.  Eventually, that person abandoned the business and so it failed miserably.

The money won did not go back to the casinos but went into the pocket of the person I trusted lol.

True that, I was not ready to handle a huge sum of money during those time when I won two consecutive jackpot in the same casino so I ended up wasting  half of it to a failed business venture with a friend.  Luckily I use the other half to buy a property.

You have done is quite clever. You seized a victory and expanded it. Thats what winners do. They develop rather than merely siting on their laurels. You are investing in yourself, your future rather than merely playing games. That is the correct outlook. You understand the game. You are letting it not control you. You are under control. You're handling your money and time. You are starting a business. You are constructing a life. Thats huge.

And this is what its all about. Its about using your resources wisely. Its about striking a balance. Its about following your aspirations but in a way that is viable. The true victory is that. That is the actual riches. Stay on then. Continue to develop. Dream constantly. Still, never forget the lessons you have acquired. Remember that money is a tool, a powerful tool. Still, it is only a tool. You are the one with skill. Its you who chooses what it creates. And based on what I could see, you are creating something very outstanding.

I haven't won big from gambling, but I have won big by investing in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ether, so I can tell you something about a life changing decision.
The most important part is not to give in to euphoria, remain calm and focused. People who get too excited end up wasting a bunch of money because they want to do it fast, they want results now, they want to show off.

I'm a rather calm person so I've decided to improve my life in small steps. I made plans and focused on achieving them and spending the money I had as I went on with my plans. Every time I spent too much money on stuff, going ahead, since I had the money to go faster, I ended up watching these things lay down waiting for next year until I finally had the time to follow through. It's like when you have the money to buy new furniture and you order everything at once and end up filling your home with boxes of furniture you have to unpack and assemble. You don't get how much time it takes until you start doing it.

Bottom line, it's great to have money, but managing it is a challenge. People who never had any think that it's easy. They dream of having a lot of money thinking it would change their lives, but rich people have their own problems, they also worry, just that it different kind of problems and worries than what poor people have.

Since everyone aims to hit a huge jackpot to make out every one of their gambling losses, at least start up something with the money won, I haven't been lucky enough to fall into those categories of lucky gamblers who have recorded big wins from gambling to start a business.

I dream of such happening to me someday but the problem is, I gamble with little money I can afford to lose, the money to be won is not what I can use to start up something meaningful, other than phone subscriptions and buying some basic needs for myself
