Those stories are never heard because they never happen eventually the end is usually a loss for the gambler. You can't beat the house by going aggressive on them you can only win them by lucky. When our threshold is reached after many sessions the best decision is quitting and not redepositing in the hopes that you might get a recovery of your loss. Internalising a high level of discipline can be helpful is restraining from yeildiing to the urge of gambling aggressively.
Hey, I understand that you are not a kind of gambler that like taking gambling activities too seriously and I wouldn't like it when you think that when everyone of us passes through the same path, we are going to get the same results. This is never true and I have seen so many aggressive gamblers that are making significant profits from betting.
Take a bold move to do the same was not an error or mistake even though I did not get the same result with other. I see this as a test run and any results that came out from such an activity was never regrettable. This a form of adventure to me and I never regretted it. Gambling is choice!
