The house always win, no matter how good or lucky you are. The odds is always stacked against you in the long run you will always lose.
He has such a nice dad.. honestly selling wanton mee to pay off his son's 80k is not easy
Thanks for sharing Max, I wish you all the best in whatever you attempt. Luckily you managed to get out of it, it is not easy once you are addicted. The problem with gambler is; when you lost, you always want to win them back, and you keep trying, the more you try, you ended up never able to catch up with the lost. God bless you and your family.
Same $6 4D strike 1st price $18800
Lost $17000 in 1 month at MBS
thank you for sharing this. each time u are tempted, just look at ur son or their photos ok. we hope and pray the best for you and family.
gambling sucks, you win a bit but loose a lot more
if you get LOOSE with your money, you will LOSE it.
Speaking from experience from losing over 180k. Money feels different on the table and from work. waging 100-1000 is nothing but number but working for a 10\hr job is so tiring ! Please take your hard earned money seriously and avoid gambling addictions
I fell ya on that one, I got introduced and lost a lot, luckily I stopped before it got worse
@@justpassingby3409 Oh god. What happened
180k... my god. How
And so scarily true it feels different on the table. We are such irrational creatures
I’m a ex gambler too ! Still remember the feeling ! It haunt forever , *say no to gamble *
call it a day
Excellent content, underrated channel
20 years ago, my friends asked me to bet a little on football matches, I said no they said I got no guts I gave them a smile. 20 years later, I owned 2 condos apartment and one shop house, renting them out collecting rents every month, semi retired at the age of 40. We met again they said I'm lucky to be blessed by divine luck, I said nothing, once again I just gave them a smile. We never met again.
Real story? How are they doing now?
Is this even true story don’t anyhow whack
貧窮限制了你們的想像力

Those friends all own several landed , after becoming bookies, so he feels ashamed.
This won't b the end of the temptation. Remember, a relapse is almost always the key terminator so stay wary n guard your thoughts @ all times. For stepping out to share this @ the expense of ur good daddy image, I salute u! All strength be with u young man!
Thanks for sharing!
Man great story and a glimpse of what your future could be with gambling involved. But I suggest having a better location for interviews. You guys are professionals so do interviews in a professional setting! Think of it as an investment
I converted $3K to $98K playing baccarat in 4 hrs. The following week, I lost it all in half a day. Gambling ruins your life.
Very positive story ...
The perfect small stool for a gambler
Very calm person
On the surface…
cool story bro !
Say easy then done! Nobody can help you only yourself!!
*recently I thought: eliciting happiness in the expense of others. what if we were the others*
Have fun, bring only what you can lose
He looks like stand up comedy Jason leong
my most lucky day was when one day i went to a casino to have a few drinks with friends before heading to the clubs and i put 20 bucks in a slot machine and won 30k and i have took the money and brought silver bullion and have yet to sell any yet that was in 2002 and silver was 5 bucks a ounce ,hit and never go back again cause casino always win in the long run.
investing in silver LOL What a terrible investment. Commodities don't appreciate vs inflation over long term as they don't produce anything. Invest in something that grows and pays you back dividends you can reinvest. Good luck
Good thing you work yourself out of it.
First thing first, he forget to get rid of his lady friend.😳😎
He show us how to kick addiction.
Greed will always end up losers.When you lose money nightmares will eventually curse on you. Repent and you and your family will be safe.I have been over that too .
I m facing the same story like him....but i m not into gambling,i m addicted to alchohol....i m finding way to stop drinking....anyone can give me advice??
Why his face is so familiar, my neighbour also have the same face like him
What if u get knock down till the last breath u hold
I think I’ve sat in his cab once .. small world
The odds are against you at the casino. The best is to never gamble.
Hello my tutor
So sad 😭 story
The title of this video reminds me of YBB
Low audio
Next time make it higher audio
I cant hear u at all
Plot twist. Devil says online casino
Now tell us about thr other 364 nights
Rezki tak berkat....jika berjudi....rugi lagi..........
Come Genting Highland once the border is open, with your Sing Dollars, u have more chips to play
No such thing as easy money. Casinos never lose. Only afraid if a gambler never returns after making money. Greed overcomes good judgment.
Lack of experience
Let's hope he doesn't go to Genting in Malaysia.
MBS Casinos are still patronised by many regular gamblers everyday for more than DECADES, why? Because the regular gamblers there know how to gamble and are business owner themselves. U still can win money in casinos with experiences. But of course if u are just an employee, an unstable business owner or freelancer, casino is not suitable for u in the long term. From $500 to $20k is just a common “stories” out of many common punter stories everyday in casino.
Casinos has been getting gamblers putting $20K to $1million per hand everyday for decades. Your wife can just apply for the casino to ban you, a poor commoner trying luck at the expense of family.
- from an ex-casino dealer of 9 years.
Exactly! You got to know how to gamble and know what games are best to play.
I too have a gambling addiction but what differentiates me from other gambling addicts is the complete opposite....I’m winning and making money on a consistent basis literally its my main source of income.
More than 5 times a month? That's rookie numbers
notice how its called ex-gambler never and never get addicted
Exactly no future in gambling stick to investing
@@cryptolord9826 ....In cryptoB
....In crypto?
@@mikechansw748 nope in gambling lol
Wonder wat his current students' parents will do if they knew of tis.
He chose the easy way out fr the start to join the black mkt of pte tutoring, doubt he can last long since mum + pop could still help.
What has his gambling addiction have anything to do with his ability to teach
@@rajatank2023 u ask the parents not me
I DONT WANT TO PLAY BACCARAT ANYMOREEEEEE!!!! PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE SUFFERING 😭😭😭
be honest n sincerely to all besides you w care ???
You win what you paid. Its better to start a family business. You make an income from what you build, its a life line empire. I think by now can go international But you stuck here.
Casinos always win in the grand scheme of things. When ppl win they also will go around telling others. When people lose there is shame and silence. So even when ppl win, they get free advertising. But when ppl lose, they get much less smear campaign.
Casino is damn harmful to most people who like to play it blindly. Hands after hands of guessing the results. Join me if anybody wanna learn the elite mindset to play the game wisely in a professional way like a trade. Your will know after you are trained and you won't be like a gambler anymore.
God bless you brother. Hope you can help others. Remember that the casino is for non Singaporeans. This is a $ vacuum created to help our country with no natural resources. Unfortunate you had to meet bad influence. Avoid bars, pubs,alcohol,discos and lower the chance of meeting these people.
The same applies to drinking alcohol, smoking, drug taking and womanising. Don't involve you or anyone else.
"For non singaporeans" Very interesting.. I see
gambling is my best time in life???
I too have a gambling addiction but what differentiates me from other gambling addicts is the complete opposite....I’m winning and making money on a consistent basis literally its my main source of income.
500 to 20000 Yan Fei sia ......joking
On a more serious note, you are the lucky one whom had defeated the gambling addiction. Many people didn’t which eventually lead to die one way road.
Gambling. Know when to stop.
Casino will never let u win. use your brain. even if you work so hard now you can never repay the debt. its a shame.
one night i manage to convert $20 to $2000, the next day i lost it all, and the following day i was back again. and i lost it again
Morale of the story: Gamble all your money and go into debt to bounce back stronger
HAHAHAHAHA
#ExtremelyShittyLifeProTips
never to be seen again...ended up homeless!
Max. At least you repented. The house has no mercy. The door is opened 24 hours a day and you only restrict to short few hours to focus on winning before losing it all. Ideally QUIT it all is the best plan.
Gambling only becomes an addiction if you’re losing massive amounts of money . If you can convert your petty cash even by smaller wins at the casino you’re doing good. Casinos are mislabeled! Seriously just play within your means and stay disciplined.
Gambling usually thi can't simply be controlled at all, that's the nature of the beast.... ADDICTION.
Never bring anyone to the casino if the person never been before, one of the greatest sins you committ as a human being.
Thought is being the geylang district....
The same applies to drinking alcohol, smoking, drug taking and womanising.
$500 to $20,000 : Shows the House doesn't always win.
They always win in the grand scheme of things. When ppl win they also will go around telling others. When people lose there is shame and silence. So even when ppl win, they get free advertising. But when ppl lose, they get much less smear campaign.
if u think men has it bad, there's tons of old aunties and ah mas out there gambling EVERYDAY. and i mean EVERYDAY.... with the years of gambling money lost, they could buy a 2 room hdb flat or more! and the worse thing is family members came up with the excuse, they're old already. come on la, gambling is destructive no matter what age you are.... Gamblers always lose and the house always wins!
You’re wrong tho, some ah mahs are experts and know how to win money , they get 600$-800$ easily
Not specific to any country but comments for any country considering legalising it now ( please, by all means explore any and all other options to create value and earn revenue. This means of earning revenue is truly not worth it. )
1) selling drugs which are addictive. Is the seller sinless ? Charge a levy to new buyers and drug addicts to buy drugs ?
2) going to great lengths to lockdown during covid to save lives, lives lost and families destroyed due to the “casino” is fine “ ?
3) the shithead which talks about jobs creation.. ur earnings are non value added mate.. it is the loss of another.. when one of your loved ones gets sucked in and hurt real bad, god forbid, ur eyes will open.. get a real job that adds meaning and value to society..
4) seriously think entry levy is a safeguard? Think again please, if one has any semblance of conscience. Merely makes ppl gamble long hours to maximise the levy and increase odds of addiction.
5) seriously, anyone who can condone making money in this manner … i beg you to reassess your moral compass ? One day ppl will realise (hopefully sooner rather than later) … this is no different than an “ opium den “ from yesteryears..
6) seriously, any controls over casino’s marketing gimmicks studied in detail to truly understand its ramifications ?
7) casino’s make money from problem gamblers and by converting non problem into problem gamblers. Does anyone seriously think or believe they can survive on casual gamblers ? Leave casual gambling to the confines of people’s private lives during cry etc.. no need for a casino.
8) ridiculous and nonsensical arguments on tourism ? Many cities with high tourist arrivals DO NOT necessarily rely on casinos… there are other means to attract tourists… many.
9) if the “casino” is taken away, would ppl still invest in an integrated resort. If the answer is “no”, pls kindly refer to point 7) above.
If you want to make real money, deal drugs. Back in the day I could get ounces of cocaine fronted to me and turn nothing but no fear of being busted into thousands, with no money out of pocket other than for something to eat or drink.
gambling, women, liquor....stay away from these three.....i hd seen gamblers, womanisers and drunkards.....zero
U can find those men without any of these 3 vices in the monastery..
FFS stop repeat the same again and again
good story, lucky the chair didn't give way
He looks more like he's addicted to processed foods!
500 to 20k is literally just 40x thats nothing
If u study maths , probability and statistic, u already knew the odds of casino Vs yourself. Which casino in the world lost money ? You should go into horse racing ...
21 and baccarat have the odds if the house dont cheat.
