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.

Back in the late 80's I once turned £10 into £11k on roulette and then back into nothing in less than an hour. Drunken degening FTW.

Its not quite to the level of $$$$$ but its uplifting!

Did my whole pay on payday as you do bar £20, instead of eating I put that on a football treble that Sunday, came in, put the £200 from that on an American "soccer" game in running, which won and put the resulting £400 on Swansea in the playoff final at 7/4 and I was alive again for the month! even greened out at 1/33 at 3-0 up at half time on betfair via a mate and actually was sweatin a better return if they didnt win when Reading made it 3-2*

*admittedly then did the lot again last weekend but was still fun!
