I’ve been reading stories about successful gamblers and thought I’d share this one- it’s truly impressive.
From $50 to $40 million - crazy, right? It shows that making a fortune through gambling is possible if you have the skills. It’s a mistake to think we’re all destined to lose in the long run.
What do you think about this? Isn’t it inspiring already?
Archie Karas: Turning $50 into $40 million
There have been many tales of gamblers going on amazing runs at the casinos of Las Vegas. However, there may be none more staggering than that of famed punter Archie Karas.
Karas started ‘The Run’ with a mere $50 in his pocket and racked up more than $40 million in winnings. But that’s not where the story ends.
Remarkably, Karas then managed to lose it all and end up with nothing, before being banned from setting foot in a casino.
Although very few people are lucky enough to win this big, that's why I say gambling is always about luck. When this man made 40 million dollars with 50 dollars it was his fortune but suffered repeated losses, which he would not have lost if he had retired from gambling immediately. Because he became addicted to gambling, he ended up losing more than half of this money, which is why the symptoms of gambling addiction should be avoided. Then you can continue to gamble for a long time, because if you become addicted and eventually lose all money and wealth, you will eventually die. So we should learn from this that gambling people play for fun but addicts are always unpredictable.
