Sure it was a bumpy road for you but at least you are still able to get what you have planned for, congratulations!
It is impossible to win all the time but he did have a great strategy and an eye for detail to wage on live events and access the situation and that is his success.
As long as a gambler plans to win and there's a roadmap for him that will serve as his guide. He knows where he's going and if the strategy is effective then he has created a formula but regardless of those things.
He has made it and looking forward to seeing more success stories not just from him but also from other successful gamblers.
