My old man is a tin ass, he only bets big rarely and only does it on gut instinct and then pays for holidays overseas etc. He nailed 21 blacks in a row at a casino in China once to pay for the whole trip for mum and him. Same in England in the 80's he paid for the holiday for the three of us on a horse race. Me largest thing I won a local raffle with a trailer load of stuff that eventually broke or wore out and promises from local busnisess's but many didnt step up when asked , the cunts. :-)
