I was an affiliate with a company, did a lot of biz with them, partied with them they flew me all around the world to numerous meet ups.
I'm a chronic reformed gambler and used to run thousands of gambling sites, but the reality was I'd never played online. However once I did, to one of the casinos I promoted, I put in 150 and lost it in 20 minutes, so like the addictive gambling moron I was I put in another 300 Through the next 6 hours I tuned that 300 into over 20k eventfully finishing my night 11k up, so I requested a pay out
Fuck me I spent the next 3 months trying to get that money and it was only because of my affiliate status that I was able to get any at all under threat of pulling traffic.
Won a little more than 13 grand in a tournament on Bovada about 5 years ago, came in 3rd. Had a few couple grand tourney wins here and there. Mostly play sit n go's though.
Tournaments for the year i just won a little. I played a $400 dollar tournament that had like 70k prize pool that i didn't cash in I was tired. I got like like 5th in like 109 person buy in for like $1100 The blinds were to high and this lady wouldn't chop. I think she had like 10 big blinds. I would of doubled or tripled my money. IF she agreed. She lost out on like 3K she came in 3rd.
I don't normally gamble.. But I was at a fan appreciation expo in Vegas and tried the slots. I there was there winning some, losing some, etc.
Basically I was (at that time) just another average Joe hoping to make some easy money. There were a lot of attractive women around, none that paid much attention to me.
Then, out of no where, I hit a 5k win. Now I know that's not crazy money but still I was excited. Some people started taking pics and even a few selfies (like I'm some kind of millionaire).
Anyway the funny part was that after filling the tax docs and cashing out those attractive ladies started noticing me... Hmm. No mystery there but I thought it was funny.
I wonder how many ladies sit and wait for a guy to hit a decent amount of money, then approach the would be john.
And no I did not partake. Went to a buffet, watched a movie, went to bed and the next day home. I know the house always wins and the best way to keep your money is to know when to cash out and go home.
