For some reason, this story seems to me to be dubious. Of course, it is impossible that a person holding such a high position and, accordingly, having vast experience in management and knowing all the pitfalls of gambling, would seriously risk the capital necessary to save a huge company. I think this story is just another publicity tale. Moreover, everything you learn from Las Vegas is literally all riddled with exaggeration of facts and the size of luck.
This is what the world gambling center itself is built on.

I think you are making reference to the FedEx story. That is looking like what can be doubted but nonetheless it is in the media and that is what we all are given to gulp in but the real story may look like what we see online or close to it. For now it is one of the most inspiring success story in gambling as regarding risk and not necessarily luck.

there is a saying that when people back is against the wall, they will do everything they can to survived. And that's what the owners of FedEx did, he gamble his money and he is very fortunate that he won and then he stop. It will be different if he already won and then continue to gamble thinking that he can still make a good run and so bigger money. But I guess he stop when he had the right amount of money he needed, so that is a very good decision.

That is the best thing about this guy because he didn't get tempted after experiencing that winning momentum but I bet if that happens to all of us, we won't be doing the same thing but we will gamble up to the point that we will lose all the money so let us not look only on the bad side of the situation and judge the guy based on that but we should also look for the good things that he did later one and as we can see he save his own company that way.

If someone knows what he is planning that day like his co workers, I think they will stop him from doing that insane act but luckily no one else noticed it or maybe he intended to do it secretly?

CEO's do take a big risk on their business but taking risk on playing a gambling with the stake of your company is pretty hardcore in my own opinion. Imagine that the all hardworking days you offer to your company would go down into one night session of playing gambling. I just hope that FedEx won't be on that kind of state again, It would be a hard decision for the CEO on what will he do especially that FedEx is a big company now. Will he resort into playing gambling again for the second time incase his company go into the same situation again?

I do not think that the FEDEX CEO is gambling with the stake of his company. What he gambled is his own money and luckily he won. He didn't sell any share of the company and gambled. The CEO probably just wanted to take a breather after an intoxicating event on the company. And he get what he wanted, with bonuses .. additional cash and new motivation to solve the problem of his company.

at least you give time reading the OP? if not then I will share this part for you to understand how and what does it mean.

1. The Founder Of FedEx Saved The Company By Gambling In Vegas.

Here's an inspiring story for aspiring gamblers and small business owners: the founder of FedEx saved his floundering company by gambling in Vegas, earning $27,000 in blackjack! The company only had $5,000 in its coffers when Frederick Smith decided to fly to Vegas in 1973 and risk it all. Though this isn't good investment or business advice in general, Smith's gamble paid off, allowing the company to last long enough to raise $11 million and eventually earn its first profits in 1976.

Look at that, the company's money in the coffers in which the only fund that company has back then , so its clear that it was the company's fund in which he tries and risk to gamble.

Well, to tell the truth, what this being did was from another world, and the truth is that it is to have them well placed, I wonder now, what will happen to current businessmen if they find themselves in trouble? I think that now it is much more focused on camaraderie and they should help each other, right? because really risking everything in a casino is something very crazy, well I see it that way, maybe there are people who consider this relevant to what they were going through, but something must be clear, that with those $5k they were not going to raise absolutely nothing, a company of this caliber is currently still one of the world leaders, good for that being who did that!

When the owner of FedEx Company was having a very bad time to conduct his company, he did not gamble to save the company but basically went to forget his depression, sadness, pain luckily he won some money in more games there which he can use later for his company. However, at this time, if there is a shortage of money in conducting any good business, various financial institutions are encouraged to come forward.

I won't also do the same thing as what the FEDEX owner did. That's really the riskiest thing that he can ever do and I guess he was all set for greatness and dumbness at that time. He realizes that it's all in or go home with nothing and that's already accepted in fate.
But, really fate is playing sometimes and the guy did the right thing on what resulted for his action. The good thing is that he's into the greatness but I'm sure that he's telling the other businessman that don't do what he has done because that might also change their fate but could not be the same as how lucky he was back then.

Probably most people would not do the same as FEDEX owners because such actions are very risky and gambling can cost us all our money. Or maybe he was desperate enough to use his money to gamble and luckily, he was so lucky that he could earn a lot of money from gambling and continue his business. If, at that time, he lost all his money, we won't hear the name FEDEX anymore today or the owner has been replaced by someone else.

Rght, there is a saying that when people back is against the wall, they will do everything they can to survived. And that's what the owners of FedEx did, he gamble his money and he is very fortunate that he won and then he stop.

It's depending on the situation. Yes a lot more elite people could go to Macau and that is why they have that much money going in the, and yes if we are talking about the numbers they have a bit more population surrounding them as well so more people could go there. But, ask someone from South Africa, France, England, Germany, Turkey, Estonia, or of course obviously USA which one they would prefer to go to and they will tell you that they will go to Las Vegas over Macau, makes a lot more sense.

The danger of being a foreigner in China is real for many people, call it propaganda or not, it's real, I wouldn't step a foot in China if I can, so far never needed to prevent it, but I won't do it too.

I am not very fond of the Chinese Regime and a priori I would rather go to Las Vegas than to Macau, but I would say that it is pretty safe if you go just to see the city and play in the casino. It has been a place where many poker players have gone in recent years to play high stakes games with Chinese millionaires mainly and I have not heard that they have had any problems. China's regime today is not like Mao's, it is open to business.

I think it is entirely possible that the FedEx owner knew about card counting, he probably practiced the skill as a way to kill time not thinking too much about it, but once he was facing some money problems he decided to go to Las Vegas and try his luck in blackjack.

It is true that even if I'm correct and he knew about this technique what he did was really irresponsible, but at least in his particular case the odds were in his favor so it was not a move that was as risky as it may seem at first sight.

Hmm peeing is crazy, but it's not fun at all.

If you ever worked as a cleaner or just at any restaurant or fast food especially where you will for sure have to do some cleaning, you'll definitely agree with me.

This is the part of gambling I don't enjoy, where people are no longer having fun and already addicted and people just stand by and feed off them.

This is definitely crazy and very inappropriate. Just imagine how the whole casino smells when all the gamblers just keep on peeing on the floor. This is too much addiction that they can’t even leave their tables just to urinate for a second. Although there are cleaners assigned but I think this is still too much. I wonder how the operator of this casino deals with this and tolerate their gamblers actions.

They shouldnt tolerate those users or gamblers who do commit out those kind of messy behavior on where peeing or defecating on the said venue or building which they should really be banned and wont be allowed

to go inside because its not really that right on having those kind of acts.Cant be denied that they are making huge money or revenue with those gambling addicts but its not tolerable into those people who just

crossed the border line yet those establishments does have comfort rooms whenever you do feel that you do need to pee or something else.Its not bad on having some pause on doing the right thing.

If they want to maintain their casino's orderliness and cleanliness, they should have zero tolerance to misconduct and unpleasant behaviors. This clearly disrespects the establishments as well as the owner's effort to build a place for them to play. Even if the players are the reason why a casino is running, it doesn't give them the right to make a mess out of someone's property and business. People who act like wild animal should receive a punishment such as temporary restriction from entering the casino's premises or outright and permanent ban from the establishments.

It's just so gross to even think about a smelly casino. It's horrible to even be in one because the addiction of the players is just too much to the point that getting up their seat for a minute just to satisfy their call of nature can't be done and instead just pees on the floor like an uncultured and ignorant swine. I hope there would be no establishment and gambling owner to allow such things from happening in their property because it will appear that they are tolerating and enabling them from acting as such which is not really a good example and will definitely harm the players in the long run.

It doesn't just happen in casinos, I think it happens in some places too, this reminds me of when I was starting college, when there were certain people who left a lot of filth in the men's bathroom just to make the good things look really bad, The truth was that it gave me some pain to think about the person who had to clean, this is something that we should avoid, there are people who do these things because it amuses them, but we know that there are people who have no remedy, in the casinos that are outside online we can run into many people and with attitudes that we can not stand, but it is something that only they should control, I am very disgusted by a person who tries to exploit a vulnerability of a casino and get easy money, or a casino that go out and want to scam people.

It's surprising getting to finally know "Las Vegas" a city that we have all been told as the capital gambling city in the world wasn't indeed the actual number one gambling city. However, I'm sure there must have been criteria used to determine which city is or is not a gambling city to which Las Vegas happens to top the list, because if you can search on Google, it still shows Las Vegas as the gambling city in the world for now till further notice, as you can see below

13. Las Vegas Is Not the Gambling Capital of the World.

The city of Macau is the only Chinese territory where it is legal to gamble in a casino... and it also happens to be the world's largest gambling city. Forget Vegas: Macau's casino revenues beat Vegas five times over in 2012. Unlike Vegas, which makes most of its money in penny slots, most of the money generated in Macau (75 percent!) comes from high rollers making huge bets at table games in V.I.P. rooms.

Women do know when to steal the show, on the given link by @OP I read that the first legal Casino license is issued to a woman. I was like wth, gambling is dominated by males during those times let alone by mobsters and gangsters. So I was surprised when the first legal Casino is established by a woman named Mayme Stocker in 1920 for the Northern Club. She was a wife and a mother, but her husband does not support her so she pushed its legality and opened the Casino herself.[1]

Ever since history, women have played a crucial role in human development and whatever you can see a man does women have that ability to do same and in fact women are persistent and always looking out for new things.

Most of the world great scientists and investors are women and even in gambling their are woman who has dived into it before their male counterparts.

I just skimmed through their history, and it's funny how the title of history says "Growing and evolving since 1973". The events behind it may surprise people to learn that they have been faced with two decisions when they were in a serious financial situation, ended the company or gambled their remaining money at the casino.

Reading about the risky adventure of the FEDEX CEO I was pushed to imagine what will have happened fo the global shipping company if the whole money the CEO gambled with was lost.

dont worry about that because if the FED EX did not made it there? then surely there will be other shipping company that will serve us or much better than what fedex did.

Quote

But thank goodness he made it out and that action have to change the faith of the company for life now FedEx is a global name and all thanks to the CEO who understood the place of risk in every aspect of life and was courageous enough to take the bold step and risking everything

I don't know what would be the faith of shipping business if the trend changes to fedex , but for me? i will not deal with that same action if giving a chance to decide .

I think that now it is much more focused on camaraderie and they should help each other, right?

agree totally , no doubt about that.

because really risking everything in a casino is something very crazy, well I see it that way, maybe there are people who consider this relevant to what they were going through, but something must be clear, that with those $5k they were not going to raise absolutely nothing, a company of this caliber is currently still one of the world leaders, good for that being who did that!

Well that craziness brings them to success , so it means both the team and company benefits from this crazy action Grin

Well that is back in 1976 when I think 5k is really a Money , if we will going to compare that amount these days yeah it may do nothing but back then this is absolutely a big amount.
But Yeah I must admit that the person who did this made a successful life out of gambling.
yet still wont going to advise people in similar situation to do what FEDEX owner did .
