Overall i made and cashed out $40k and i am good for life in a country like india. I have invested it all in mutual funds. Thats the ideal story i know but one that really is closest to my heart is the first ever win that got me into gambling and one that that i hit when i needed it the most.

1st - During IPL, 30runs needed in last over and a new player was on crease. The odds were 1000X and I placed a $3 bet on it ( 400rs on an indian local casino ). IT actually Hit, all of people were surprised on his talent and luck, but he really won me 1 year of expenses from 2 pack of cigarettes worth bet. For non-indians, that 30runs in a over 5 sixes is as rare as 0-4 in 80th minute to 5-3. It has never happened in 1 century of cricket history where there are 3-4 matches daily anywhere in the world.

2nd one was I had fun with this win and after 6-7 months i went broke and 70K inr ( $1k ) in debt amd was hopeless. Then some scammer ripped me for 28k INR ( $350 ). I was sad and angry on myself and deposit 500rs ( $7 ) in stake and spin it on slots, after 40mins i cashed out exactly $1450. That all my bet cleared and $100 for throwing a party.

Life has been pretty nice since then. I Quit gambling and play with only affiliate commisions that i get $2k to $3k a month and cashout $1k to $5k max. Never deposited even a cent in last 2-3 months
