Could gamble success story be that betting has helped one to be free from a harmful addiction. Some people might be addicted to hard drugs or alcohol, which is damaging their health. In some cases, they might replace such harmful behaviour with gambling. If they successfully stop the harmful behaviour because of their gambling engagements, it could be called a gambling success story. Nevertheless, addicts getting free and winning big could also be called success in gambling.
Substituting addictions is never an option. It might appear to be helpful in some cases, as some therapists might even suggest that, but in reality it's something which should never be considered.
If someone who's used to hard drugs considers gambling to be the rescue, to some, the hard drugs have a big health effect on them compared to the damage gambling can cause to them.
But to me, they are all in the same phase; every form of addiction is entirely bad, if you ask me, unless it's in a situation where the addicted drug person considers gambling as a distraction but doesn't get addicted to gambling. At the end, only then can I consider it to be a success story.
It could, as already happened to a casual gambler who bets and wins a large amount, enough to get out of debt!
This could be considered a success story, right?
I personally know someone who was in debt with the Italian tax authorities and thanks to a win of only 30,000 euros he managed to repay the debt.
This is a great success with low risk, he simply got lucky with a 3 euro bet, we are talking about a casual gambler,
but how many like him? I think 0.0001%
