Back in 2008 when i first started playing, i spun $50 into $15k in a week on betfair playing cash at various stakes, with pretty much no clue about BRM. I proceeded to lose all but $1.5k in like 3 hrs at 25/50. Good times!
Did you have any clue what $15k was?!
I cannot relate at all to these stories, my brain just isn't built that way.
At the time i just thought i was invincible and couldnt lose basically. It was a lot of money to me, but i considered it a freeroll and thought oh i ill just sit on 25/50 casually make 5k and then leave. If i did carry on winning, i doubt i would have stopped until i eventually busted the roll anyway.
