  Gambling activities are thought about as a nice way to link up with new people. Numerous groups of friends go to places like Las Vegas or Macau to have a good time and reinforce their friendship. On the other hand, some individuals visit casinos so they can meet new people.   Human beings naturally feel excited when taking risks, and gambling can offer this sensation. Oftentimes, you will find yourself asking “Will my team win” or “Will my numbers come up?” This anticipation creates a natural high, the feeling most people seek when looking for fun and entertainment. A sensation that some populations consider they cannot live without.

  Sports betting has its share of gambling stories, especially with Golf, as many games are played with bets on wins. James Adducci, in serious debt with a mortgage and unpaid student loans, used his life’s savings of about $85,000, to wager a bet on Tiger Woods’ game in April 2019, during the final round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. He ended up winning over $1.2 million. Adducci had a hunch Woods would win the masters after watching the games leading up to the finals, and upon getting his wife’s reluctant blessing, he made his first sports bet. “A month before is when I knew I was going to do it,” Adducci told  Golf Digest . “I had been thinking a lot about this. I watched Tiger’s performance at the Tour Championship, and things seemed to be going his way. I looked at how well he did there, and some other factors you can’t put stats behind. It wasn’t about the stats for me. The fact that this was going to be his first major in front of his...

  A player, who remains unidentified, except by the winning address “0xa169DF5ED3363cfC4c92ac96C6C5f2A42fCCBF85” sent waves through the internet when he outsmarted Fomo3D, the popular ethereum game and won about $3 million in 2018. The online gambling experience seemed unbeatable, and is still one of the most surprising gambling stories, because of its Ponzi scheme type design.  However, this player outsmarted the system, including human and bot players by observing purchase times, clogging the blockchain, and getting a key when player activity was low . Fomo3D is a game where players who use bitcoin to buy “keys” in a pot have 24 hours to keep playing, and the last person to pay under this clock gets all the money in the pot. Exitscam.me, the Fomo3D domain describes the game as :   “It’s your exit scam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Welcome to blockchain development Your ICO is over, The hype is drying up.

  Everybody knows about FedEx. Founded in 1971 as Federal Express Corporation by Frederick W. Smith, FedEx is the first overnight courier, operating in more than 200 countries and handling more than a billion packages annually. Three years after its launch, the company was left with nothing more than $5000 in the bank account, and the inability to pay the fuel expenses of planes. And Frederick Smith did something that no one would’ve even thought about. He flew to Las Vegas with the last five thousand of the company funds. This was much of a surprise to everyone in the FedEx! Roger Frock, a vice president of operations back then, wrote the book ‘Changing How the World Does Business: FedEx’s Incredible Journey to Success’, in which he reports his and Smith’s reactions: This was not the final solution to the problem, yet it gave Smith the time to find investors and to bring FedEx back on its feet. He raised $11,000,000 and by 1976 FedEx had a profit of 3 and a half million dollars. F...

  Gonzalo Garcia Pelayo, born in 1947 in Madrid is a record producer and math virtuoso. And he is famous with his accomplishments in beating the roulette. He made huge profits from the game, using an invented by him, legal method. It was based on statistical analysis and the fact that the roulette table, like any other machine, surely has imperfections and because of them, there is a higher probability for certain numbers to come out. Pelayo gathered the data of thousands of launches and spending years on this, he detected a roulette in the Madrid Casino that favours some numbers .           At the end of 1991, he started playing at the Gran Madrid Casino and won around 70 million pesetas by the middle of 1992, which is roughly 700,000 dollars at that time. After a win of around €500,000 in one day, Gran Madrid forbade Pelayo and his two children Ivan and Vanessa to enter the casino. And they started touring the world – casinos in Las Vegas, Austria, H...

He is known among gamblers for his gigantic loses and wins on card tables all around the world. It is believed that three weeks in a London casino back in 1999 cost him around 28 million dollars.
