I used to work excessive overtime and since I lived near casinos there was 'nothing wrong' with doing some gambling on a rare day off. I enjoy Blackjack just for fun, and try to start a 'hot run', even though I know the odds are against me. Once, I was playing just $5.00 chips for several hours and winning. I 'pushed it' to $25 chips and just kept winning. I was having fun and tipping well. The dealer remembered me over a year later and said she made over $1,000 off of me that night!!! I ended up very tired, and playing $100 chips (betting $100-$400) on every hand. I knew it was time to stop, so I cashed in and walked out ahead over $6,800. I do not gamble anymore, 'to much fun when winning, to when losing. What is the most amount of money you ever made in a single day? How?
Hmmmm... £85 from my friend after helping his dad demolish his garage + around $80 iv earned from adsense that day + $2100 for the website iv sold + $20 or so from other programs like clicksor + £250 i took out of the fruit machine. Quite a bit actually! On the other hand considering that after selling that website iv lost all the income and i was unemployed at that time the average daily earnings that year would have been close to nothing.
£4,000 (about $7,500) playing roulette online when I was a compulsive gambler. The next day I lost £3,000 of it.
The most I ever made in a single day is $500 so far, and I made it by working online. I don't gamble at all. I work too hard for my money to put it at risk, especially in a casino where the house is setup to win. There is a saying that "people who gamble aren't good at math." Einstein said that "the only way to win at a roulette table is to steal from it."
Nice, you mean the one in your sig? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In general, it sounds like 'gambling sure pays when you're winning', but I know it's a fast painful fall when the luck turns. The other web related income sounds good!
But hey, I do gamble but never ever in my life I won.. so I think I should stop it.. but who knows.. may be next time I win..
