Some persons may find this story very inspiring and which is based on how we see it. This is not the kind of story for newbie gamblers or under aged gamblers that may have big urge to win a huge jackpot. This is mainly not based on luck but skills which we don't have to compromise. Gambling is risky and for those who does not understand much about it should be aware of the imminent risk that could pose huge risk.

what inspired the FedEx story is how the right decision was made by the owner in using the money left in his pocket to bet it on the gambling table

I often hear of people who use the money left in their pockets to gamble but most of them end up losing, and the story of the FedEx owner is really risky to be imitated by those who still can't control themselves

Maybe some gamblers are just territorial and they don't want any disturbance while playing so they just pee right on their seats. Funny but also disgusting for staff who will clean their mess. Some gambling addicts aren't mindful of what they're doing anymore as long as they satisfy their urge to gamble.

But at least they can urinate before continuing the game to avoid disturbing other players who will play gambling after them. Thus, everyone will remain comfortable playing gambling and there will be no such minor annoyances. Maybe once or twice would be fine but if he kept doing that, he probably wouldn't be able to play at the same casino again. Even though they are gambling addicts, it shouldn't be done for any reason so that other gamblers don't feel disgusted when they replace that player playing gambling.

- If that's one of the effects of being addicted to gambling, well, that's embarrassing. You can only give your body what it wants in gambling, you don't care what to do like that, just pee or defecate without caring what other gamblers around you say. It's very difficult, Sir, it appears that the gambler who did that is already abnormal and his actions and thoughts are out of his mind.

Because I have seen many people who have become addicted to gambling through the articles I have read here, but I have not seen any addicted gambler who urinated or defecated while playing games in a casino.

If you are the gambler who happen to have that kind of situation, then, why not prepare for it?
Like wear diaper if you need to, because if you know yourself that you will get into such situation,
better be mindful about others, not only yourself. But for sure, this still happens.
Remember, a gambling addict would do anything not to miss whatever is happening on the gambling table.

I found another interesting fact, it may not as strange or funny as others posted here but I wanted to share it anyways:

The hand of Faith was a gold nugget found with a metal detector in Australia in 1980 at a depth of only 12 inches, it was later sold to the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas for around 1 million $.

This gold nuggets weighs around 27 Kg and is one of the biggest ones ever found in Australia.

It seems that replicas of this nugget were made to be displayed at some resorts but the original are supposedly to be at the casino in Las Vegas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_of_Faith

This is a video which explains quite well the story of this magnificent piece of gold:

This is the first time I heard about gambling in prison, and I am surprised that the authority allows such activity. As far as I know prison is created to sanction criminals not to let them enjoy casino lives.

You need to watch some documentaries about the community in prison in some countries.

Didn't you know that some prisons are having a much luxury life compared to the usual community outside? Yes, a place where prisoners won't feel they are in an actual prison because of the community there.

That includes having a gambling place inside. What's confusing is, how these prisoners or people there have money to spend on gambling.

There are two ways people in the prison can get money. People in prison don't sit idle but they have to do the work they have been told to.
The work assigned to them sometimes might yield them some money.
There are also prison where the family members can give the prisoners a limited amount of money to buy things inside the prison.
I have read both of these online and can't guarantee it's truth but I think this is how they must be getting money and I guess spending them on gambling.

Could it be possible? When you are in prison then having money wont really be that useful because you cant use it inside because prisons wont really be having some casinos inside
or stores where they could make out purchase unless if there are some shady activity happening around then it would really be that relevant and also we know that prisons
are really strict to possible contrabands which they wouldnt really allow external sources or passing up things from outside even from its family members.
If this happens then its really just too funny that prisons arent really that prisons at all. Cheesy

14. Casinos Are Illegal in Japan (But There's a Loophole).

The Japanese have devised a loophole to allow gamblers to get their fix: while casinos are illegal in the country, Pachinko parlors are not. Pachinko is a slot machine-like game that earns players little silver balls. The balls can be traded for alcohol, toys, or other prizes ... but you can also ask for "special prize" tokens. These tokens can be redeemed at separate, state-regulated shops for cash, thus enabling gamblers to earn money in a country that technically forbids gambling.

So Japan. On the front face, it was illegal but an undertable agreement was reached and allowed the thing to be legal. Horse betting and motor betting are legal as well. But the majority of casino games are illegal in Japan.
To be honest, Japanese law is so convulsing and does not make any sense. Tho lately, they did seem to push for the legalization of gambling by opening special casino resorts in three cities: Osaka, Tokyo, and Yokohama. I know the Japanese love to gamble, from slot machines to gacha games. Any sportsbooks want to push for Japan going to rake in cash eventually.

The corruption there when a prisoner buys for VIP threat from the jail guards or warden.

Jail guards and wardens are just a small piece of cake in the prison. High-profile inmates even do have power over these officials.

These guys don't have the ability to give prisoners a luxurious life inside the jail especially related to gambling activity.

VIP treatments and protection were authorized by a much higher official. Maybe a chief, top-rank official, or even part of the Senate and Congress.

It is not unusual for someone involved in criminal matters. Still, it can get luxurious facilities because they may have close relationships with local officials so their life in prison is not much different from outside prison. We also know that corruption is already present in many places and that many local officials and apparatus are in this circle and protect people who carry out illegal activities. This requires serious attention from an honest government to arrest them and this is not easy to do because they have strong support from higher ranking officials.

There is another fun fact that is not included in the op which is the set of gamblers who sell their personal properties such as houses and cars just to gamble away the money and after then end up sleeping by the corridor of the casino House, thos is the most irresponsible act but I have seen a lot of them in my region who are. so addicted to gambling and have gambled away all their life savings and properties.
...

I would have guessed those things only happened in movies and books, Jesus Christ.
Since you said you have personally witnessed these things happening in your region, would you care to give us an example or tell us a story about a particular case which you can talk about? Because I have never seen someone being so reckless when gambling, the worst I have seen was someone losing half their monthly wage.

Also, how come they end up sleeping in the Casino corridor? Dont they get kicked up by staff?
Or maybe staff feel so sorry for them that allow them to sleep a couple of night on the floor.

Whatever the case, it is just sad to read people can ruin their lives so quickly. Sad

Well, I might listen to your advice and watch documentaries about corruption in penal establishments. I am aware that the majority of rich prisoners are having VIP treatment inside prison since some of them had been reported by the media, but I am not aware that a Casino exists in a prison which is a sign of pure corruption. And since there is a casino inside a prison, it isn't surprising to think that prisoners have money to spend on gambling. May it be coming from the drug deals or from their own bank account.

^Cannot be avoided that there are rich people in prison who can afford to gamble and also once you are rich you can buy anything inside and have VIP treatment. The corruption there when a prisoner buys for VIP threat from the jail guards or warden.
However, this has existed in the prisons everywhere that there is gambling happening inside like playing cards which is a very common game that they can play but for me in that case, there is no problem because that is how they used to fight boringness inside.

7. American Roulette Is Harder to Win Than European Roulette.

Gamblers playing roulette in America are going to have a slightly harder time winning. Originally a French game, Americans have tweaked the formula to include 38 instead of 37 possible places for the ball to land (adding a "00" as well as a "0" house pocket to the wheel). It used to be worse: in 1866, a version of the game featuring an American Eagle symbol added yet another opportunity for the house to win it all.

This is my pick. Next time I play roulette I will take care about the number of possible places for the ball to land. Well, this, and provability fair, if online, of course.

Funny and interesting fact.

The first one is nothing short of luck and right place, right time scenario. The founder of FedEx could have re-rolled that money on to his dying company but he went all in and just hoped for the best. Perhaps this is the reason why a lot of people are trying to go all in on casinos when they are extremely down on their luck. I would not recommend doing anything of that thing just to save you from your finances, but I'm pretty sure a lot of us here are having an itch to get that kind of luck like the FedEx founder.

Gambling is not the answer to save your finances, it may even cause more losses on your part more than you know. Although there are some people who end up having fortune from gambling, but it’s only very rare to happen and mostly, people end up losing in gambling. If you are thinking to grow and double or triple your finances, then find some other means like investing, that way there will be more possible profits waiting ahead.

Thinking that gambling can give financial stability is very wrong, we know how risky it is and we know that in gambling you can lose instantly. There’s a lot of Fun facts that is weird sometimes, but this is how gambling can turn other players, some are too bad but some are really fun. I haven’t seen myself to be on this position, luckily I can still control myself every time I gamble and think the right way.

4. Some Gambling Addicts Pee All Over the Gaming Floor.

Some gamblers simply take things too far: addiction counselors say that some problem gamblers are so impaired by their addiction that they simply urinate all over themselves or wear adult diapers rather than step away from the table or slot machine. For instance, in Indiana in 2007, a gambler filed a complaint with the state's Gaming Commission after he sat in a pee-soaked chair at a slot machine. And in 2015, a New Jersey man urinated into a slot machine's coin slot rather than leave the gaming floor.

Seriously? did this really happen? because to be honest, this kind of story experience in gambling is disgusting, what is it that the player couldn't stop to go to the comfort room or because he couldn't stop playing gambling in a slot machine because when he left he regretted the He bet that he might win that's why he prefers to pee while playing and defecate, is that what this story means?
I don't know if this is a true story or just made up? as unrealistic as it really is.

Okay lets put up some example regarding on this one.
http://www.gambling-stories.com/2015/07/video-problem-gamblers-defecate-and.html

Defecate and urinate which is something that you cant really that expect for a human being to do just
for the sake of playing gambling which is really indeed too much and unrealistic but it did really happen.

I'm familiar with the roullete "00" is harder to hit as compare to "0", that's why I don't play that version. I'm more on the single ")" because there were times that I got lucky and win some.

Been to Vegas and it's my first time to see slot machine all over, like even in a convenient store or in the airport, maybe I was just culture shock that time because I only know that they are just available inside the casinos.

One of the major reasons why gambling is banned in some countries is because of its association with crime and criminality because casino houses are where a lot of drug and other illegal businesses thrive. But with online casinos now coming in a lot of separation is done in the industry and the need for physical appearance is minimal so the narrative is changing. But I don't support gambling in prison.

Well, crimes and drugs happen everywhere so it is not surprising if Casinos have some in it record. Besides, in the USA, before it became a legal industry, Casino is run by gangsters and mafia, so the idea of criminals and drugs in a Casino is deeply rooted.

This is the first time I heard about gambling in prison, and I am surprised that the authority allows such activity. As far as I know prison is created to sanction criminals not to let them enjoy casino lives.

Everything is prohibited inside prison but it do depends on the one who managed inside and if there's some sort of money involved under the table then these things would be allowed to happen
and this is in fact the reality and could really happen inside and some of them do even live out just like there arent prisoners and as long there's money involved then it wouldnt really be that surprising
to see these things.About drugs then it isnt already that something new which these things do circulate around.
