The secret diary of a nobody making it big..

The aim of any game is to win. And if youre going to go all in, you might as well do it big.
So how about leaving a mundane lifestyle to fly to countries you've never been to, where you can't speak the lanuguage with nothing but a suitcase and a dream, to win a load of money?
Before I tell you about it, bare in mind, I've never stepped foot into a bookies or a casino in my entire life. The most gambling I've ever done was £10 on an online bingo site......
I'll take you back to the beginning......
When I was 16 I completely believed I was going to be a millionaire and retired by the age of 25. Haha so yeah thats not going to happen working at mcdonalds.
A year or two passed and I was in college with a baby girl at home...life definately was not going to plan.
Time passed bouncing from job to job trying to make ends meet.
Life will never go to plan when you're expecting everything and doing nothing for it.
I split from my daughters mother after a mountainous rocky 6 years of hell and not long after met the woman of my dreams. It was at this exact moment I knew I had to start thinking big again.
A month in to the relationship I took the first step.
Feeling cheeky as hell and nerves in my stomach; I made a call to someone I barely knew, yet someone who I had complete trust in, to ask, not for a loan or a handout but an opportunity to do something. Something that could put me on the right path. He accepted and had something in mind.
The last thing he said before he hung up was "are you ready for an adventure?" My entire body shoudered with excitement.
The next day he gave me a call and offered me a flight and a contact.....I grasped it with both hands.
Its kinda funny how I barely knew the guy and yet he trusted me as much as I trusted him, this is going to be a good longlasting friendship.
I was expecting to leave in a couple of month for my adventure, so I had a little bit of time to get my shit together, keep working in a greesey chip shop and stack what little pennies I was earning. The next thing, I got a message......."Time to go mate..... two week......." my heart sunk, yet I was overcome with excitment. Time to get that money. I was more than ready for that part!
So im sat in the chippy contemplating leaving my daughter, the love of my life and my family and friends, not forever but long enough to have a lump in my throat. Daunting thoughts. I wanted nothing more than to walk out of my job and spend time with the ones I cared about but I needed the money to leave for them; what kind of dad and boyfriend would I be to run and leave them with nothing? So i manned up and got on with it.
The hardest part of going anywhere for an unknown amount of time is the goodbyes, it wasnt forever but was still hard. My daughter was so brave and was reassuringly taking the news very well. Well as much as a 6 year old could.
My girlfriend.....didnt take it so well....in the two weeks before I left she tried to break up countless times but always came running back in the room moments later. I cant blame her for that, its a big ask to leave someome who you've been with for a short space of time and expecting them to wait for god knows how long and for them to still get on with the daily grind, when in her mind I'd be living it upsomewhere. But like I said im doing this for us not just for myself. So we made plans about what we want to do in life. It always came back to the same mutual idea. Opening a bar..... Thats it. I've got our dream in my heart, the contacts to get me started and the friends and family to spur me on. Its time......
The drive to the airport was the longest of my life. I've flown by myself before but never to do anything like this. I got on my plane and ended up somewhere I couldn't even pronounce. Shit DEFINATELY got real. Trying to get a taxi to another place you can't pronounce is a scary situation, I was sat next to the driver, thinking I was going to end up in a ditch or worse......
So why am I even here? What am I doing? I'll give you the low down.......
I'm meeting a friend of my friend and we're going to go to a casino to play a game.
You're probably sat there thinking "why not just go down the local gala casino and spin your way to a million?" Haha come on thats never going to happen, not with my pennies anyway.
The difference is, we're learning a system. And we've got $500,000 in total, each, to play with........did I not mention that part? Yeah, now you know why I've been staining every pair of boxers I've worn for the last two weeks.
The first night was strange as hell. After my little scare with the crazy taxi driver, I got to the hotel, met my first new friend, who paid the driver and was shown to the room.
There sitting in the corner, was a chubby guy with glasses who couldn't speak much english, who was also learning the system. I threw my bag in the corner and sat on the bed. Silence filled the room like it was gas and a massive dose of realization hit me....... What am i doing?? ........I left my girlfriend, my family and my job and now i'm here not knowing what the hell is going on. I had to get out of there....I made my excuses for a cigarette and got to the front door and collapsed on my back out of sight around corner, and chain smoked three death sticks untill my throat felt like a dirty dry scourer pad.
I headed back to the room feeling lost and alone, to be talked through a bit of the basics and advised to get some sleep. I laid there for a good hour, ive never wanted to just cry so much in my life. Yeah im a girl, i know. But I held it in and thought of home.
I woke up to find the place looking like a normal hotel room and the sun shining through my curtain. It didnt seem as bad as the night before. All I knew is I needed a cig, some coffee and a familiar face. So I got my drink and a cig and sat in the sun and video called my girlfriend. Instantly feeling better, we had a little chat, i kept my cool and kept my problems to myself, she didnt need the worry.
A few hours passed, still feeling pretty lonely, I messaged my friend and expressed my concerns, which were quickly put to rest and was advised to write this blog. Hes well travelled for his age and with my trust in him, I definately felt more calm.
"Welcome to the murky world of seedy gambling, embrace it." I dont know how the hell that calmed me down but it worked.
So thats where I'm at now. Training. Ready to take on as many casinos and as many countries as I can to make my life a million times better with half a mill in dollars.
Wish me luck guys, I'll keep you posted.

Something different - this should be good!
Can you tell us a bit more about the plan?! So you have a half a million stake and he's teaching you a system to beat some casino games?! Which ones?
Can you say where you are?
Good luck wherever and whatever it is though!

Hi, you imply you've taken a house edge out of the game and you're effectively going to hit and run in numerous far away countries, please let me assure you that if you get caught in far away unsafe places in E.G South America, they will not look kindly upon you. Learning a system that can work is fine but you seem to me to be the drug mule in this scenario and you're risking more than you may know.

These were my initial thoughts also.
Very interested to see how this unfolds though.

Hello beautiful people.
Thanks for the interest and also your concerns.
As a fairly young guy and also new to the scene, you may think I'm walking in to a disaster blind folded. However, life's full of risks, that's why we all do what we do. Some risks are bigger than others but at the same time more profitable.
I don't think anyone has full control over anything that they do in this life, you can have all the answers in the world but you can still make mistakes. You could be driving, very sensibly, down the road and due to the carelessness of somebody else, your life could be cut short, maybe if you went faster you could have avoided it.... Maybe not.
The point I'm trying to make is; if you don't risk something when an opportunity arises you can always be left wondering what if..... And personally I'm fed up of the what ifs.
The whole 'life's like a box of chocolates' is nonescense. You look at the packet and you take what you want.
With regards to the 'million dollar system' unfortunately I won't be giving names or places. And with anything in this world, you don't get anything for free, there's always work involved. We're not MPs after all.....haha
Anyways thank you again for reading, will speak soon.

You will find out the hard way nothing is free. All the best. Don't think there will be a queue to find our your 'system'. Enjoy doing your cash whilst it lasts.

Err if someone has genuinely given him half a million dollars then I would assume it's some kind of advantage play as opposed to a "system". Strange that the guy wouldn't have him practice at home before having him get on a plane. I did a play for someone once and spent ages practicing before being let loose with "only" £50k lol
