Advice needed on how 30 yo female can become self-made millionaire

Hi May, I was first introduced to Crown Casino in Melbourne and in darwin when I'm 23yo.

During 2000/2001, I was a buyer/purchaser for a local compy who has some branch-out in hong kong and Thailand. At that time I was single, so some oldbirds in Bangkok office "invited" me to go Cambodia casino with them. At first I thought why not since I just received my oversea allowances. We have to travel very early by bus and taxi ard 5am. I was actually quite scare at that time. I heard so many stories in that countries. Overall, not that bad when I was inside there. After 3 visits I stopped going there. Not worth the traveling efforts.
 


may,

People "dio" 4D, they tell the whole world.. but what about the amount they put and nothing heard?

I can be considered quick good luck in 4D as well..

Like this year, my 4D winnings is more than 60K (my car no came out 3rd price) but I put in about 2K per month.. so 14K.. so net is about 40 plus K profit. Typically, I will strike about once every few months.. not big.. mostly starters..

Actually can be considered unlucky cos my car number (system) came out 1st price on consecutive weekends.. and I wanted to play system the 2nd weekend but forgotten about it. Else will strike at least another 20K.

If win mahjong all the time.. it can be skill as skill plays a part..
 
is that area full of jungles?

a lot of things happen in those indochina jungles, drugs, human trafficking, refugees on the run, etc ...
 
Ya cambodia got casino.. when I was in Seam Reap, some local took me to a casino there.. But I did not gamble lah.. then they took me to nightclub.. also very happening ..
 
Cambodia is fun.. I thought I might retire there.. open a restaurant or run a pub.. and shake legs there..

Will be going there again end of this year..
 
sm, you ever tabulated each year how much of your annual income arises from gaming? and how much you put in gaming vs how much you win

it would be interesting to see the %.
 
I don't tabulate.. but I roughly know..

4D is definitely more than 100%. this year is good. so far 60K over 14K.. how many % huh?

Mahjong is like past time and break even..

Casino is more like 100% in the past.. although I have not been to casino this year.
 
Hi May, it always not to late to spice up your life mah, especially since you are back to single status? hehe.

At that time, I am not so hardcore lah. But being a hot blooded single male, I can't put my emotion in check, that's why most of the time I can win alot, but lose back the winnings plus my capital, so it 2x.

It fact, there's alot of funny stories in casinos loh, esp in macau. See those hkg ppl curse the dealers in Cantonese.

And oh ya, those mainland chinese is freaking rich, I tell you. They really bring in suitcase of money to gamble in macau. My cousin who is a junket in sands ever show me his customer's 2 suitcase of money inside.... oohhhh...

==================================================
but then again, ROft, gamble all the way to cambodia?

my life is like so mundane compared to you people ...

dont tell me you gambled all the way to Golden Triangle ...

pls regale me with more interesting tales of your experience, i really curious to know more
 
but gambling takings vs total annual income ... what %?

dont mind my probing, im just very, very curious about people who lead a very different life from me ...
 
Yap, alot of "activities" are happening in there. We must remember to bring in boxes of cigarettes and thai liquor and pass to our agent, and who will in turn distribute to those soldiers manning the border, before entering.

Looking at those soldiers, really can scare you manz.

about Cantonese ... once i sat in a restaurant in HK ... the roar of all that Cantonese chatter in my ears is like growling from an angry bear.... haha ... they talk so loud in that rude tone ...
 
Hi May, maybe if you are comfortable to part some % of your monthly salary into "football/ casino gaming", and see whether it can outgrow your expectation or not loh.

But please understand the games and rules before you place your chips hor. Best, don't touch it if you are not very comfortable with gambling.

Just remember, if one win 10 of thousands, there will be someone out there losing several times your winnings. This is the hard truth.
 
May, u have something against Cantonese har? Not all will tiu here tiu there one lah.

I'm a true blue cantonese... both grandparents are cantonese. Traditionally, our forefather generation are loud. Just look at the Chinese immigrants nowadays, lots of loud people as well.
 
Decent family women??

Hi May, I don't encourage women traveling by themselves even though they engage a experienced Cambodia agent. Abit not safe leh, even though now things might have changed. But the political system still unchanged, quite vulnerable.

Unless you wanna try something exotic?
 
may,

Other than occasional gambling, I don't think I lead a very different life from you.

And I cut down a lot on gambling already.. except for 4D which I spend about 2K a month.. It is just a habit I can't break.. And also mahjong which is more to pass time.
 
milo, serious, to a person whose dialect is not cantonese, it is really what cantonese sounds like.

loud is ok. but loud cantonese is like being in a cave with a hungry growling bear ...

haha

I love those hongkong ppl cursing and swearing in Cantonese. Very nice and fluent! lol.

I'm a Cantonese and I still can't curse in Cantonese well. lol.
 
If there is an advice.. If you are not into gambling.. don't start on traditional gambling like in the casino.

A little on 4D/toto is OK. Football or sports betting ok within your limits.

Casino, go just for fun..
 
exotic ... is fun to hear people's stories. but i am the sort to go travelling with a big tour group like Chan Brothers and what not ... exotic is not my cup of tea ...
 
I always wanted to go to tahiti.. as I read about famous artist - paul gauguin spending his last days there.. painting when he is getting blind..

I have a soft spot for romantic islands.. Been to maldives, mauritius.. next stop will be tahiti..

Other than that, I would love to visit laos.. never been to.. place when time moves very slowly..
 
yeah, i just checked with my friend. he's going tomorrow, we will check it out.

aiyo, this is so eye-opening for me. what i suaku i am ... ho ho ho
 
no, go to RWS first ... cause go st james before that ... maybe pop by MBS afterwards ... wah, very busy got a lot of spots to hit
 
Ha ha.. actually I outsource the training lah.. just a little grumpy.. the new maid will need to learn our little habits..

I am sending to my ex-mils place to train the new maid..
 
then I will ask ex-wife to train my new maid..

I have not much patience with fools.. so I can't really train a maid.. I just set rules that is all.
 
Actually from tomorrow onwards for more than 2 weeks I will have 2 maids.. and I don't want them to overlap too much.. only few days enough..
 
wah even better... i'll tap on u then... i'm gonna take a big leap soon and look to finally hiring a maid... still very big decision for me but i guess it's time to loosen the load on everyone... just too busy nowadays.
 
Yeah, maid is given.. I need a maid.. at least to cook, do laundry, ironing, clean the floor, toilet, etc etc..

Lose a little privacy but is necessary..
 
My ex-maid is super.. I trained her so well, she is like a friend.. one of the super-duper maid.. she can surf the net, has blogs and friendster and facebook.. can cook, can play guitar.. and very good in English, take classes, learn how to cut-hair. and is very SMART. went back to indonesia to start a business.
 
this type hard to find... find liao, hard to keep... end up more a family fren for sure... but it's a good thing i guess...
 
sm, when the maid is so smart, they progress beyond the job as domestic help really soon. My previous maid was also very initiative and intelligent. Likewise, she saved enough and returned to indonesia planning to start some biz.
 
these are pple who should leave and set a better life for themselves... we all deserve a better life, if not the best... and i would be ambivalent when time comes i guess... there's always an attachment, be it frens or understudy... having seen them grow into pple capable of knowing what they want and daring to seek what they want.
 
yes. the irony is singaporeans expect their maids to be this capable but yet remained under their total control. How often we hear of complains for the maid being stupid and slow. Not being as capable as the previous maid. Policies by maid agencies make it difficult and expensive to change a maid precisely because Singaporeans unreal expectations.
 
Active thread. Sm is right, I win using double up. Have the system down pat so it is almost a sure win. But it is boring way to gamble and U won't make much. Just $500 per 1-2 hour. Basically trading time for cash. And then i am out for a nice dinner and spa.
 


just returned from an all-night gambling in MBS. took S$3K with me. came back with S$3,050.

not worth the effort leh ....

at one point, went to the toilet to check my chips, i had S$5k with me, not bad .... but went back to the S$50 blackjack table and down to square one.

by 4am, already getting very drowsy, mind not thinking clearing with all the buzz of the jackpot machines in the background, starting to fall behind in mental calculations.

hey, all you gamblers here who say you got system, can share some tips or not ... to me, blackjack almost all about random chance, so how to obtain advantage? thanks ....

very drowsy now
