    Took with me £200 stake, and won around £15,000 playing roulette, had a very lucky night, kind of played the wheel, with following numbers

    12-35-03-26--0--32-15-19-04

    Started with small bets, and started to get a few wins, increase stake, pocket £1 chips, then started using £5 chips, before I knew it was getting £100 chips, so began to play roulette from 4pm, and by 3am I had a very large number of £100 chips, they even trie dto close the table, to see if that would stop me winning...on a strealk that night

    £460 for a £6.20 'Lucky 31' bet. Basically 4 out of the 5 horses I bet on won. The horse that lost only lost by a 'nose'. I would have picked up £4500 if he had won!

    I had 4 numbers on the lottery once, although I forget exactly how much I won.

    A couple of years ago I went through a phase of winning on everything. The casino (working in one didnt stop me gambling in another) and football bets.

    I was literally living off winnings and didnt touch my wages. There was one night I went to the casino to play a poker tournament, took just enough money for that, a couple of drinks and train fare. During the poker break I had a scratty old fiver in my wallet so threw it on my fave number on roulette and it came in, winning me £180.. after that I ended up with around £2000 all from the original fiver, I also went on to finish 3rd in the poker to win a few hundred.

    I've left work with nothing but a football bet in my wallet, I checked to see if anything was on it, there was £60 in winnigs so went to the casino and turned that into another £600.

    2 Seasons ago there were 4 premier league games, I put a fiver on all 4 to be a draw and won £550,

    This was all in the space of a few months, I felt well off for once, I was out all the time, buying what I wanted and didn't think about the bank balance, just grabbing cash from my sock drawer.

    I may just start having odd random bets on horses and football. I'm fed up of hanging with the grannies at bingo! (Nothing against grannies, but I do sometimes despair at being there rather than getting drunk with my mates!)
