I bought myself a used car after my $20k win last year. Cars are inzanely expensive here in Norway, so I $15k only got me a used Ford stationwagon, but it got plenty of room for my backpack and fishingpoles

I paid off the remainder of my mortgage with part of my biggest win, but the rest slowly drained away over the next 3 years, and not ALL of it back to the casinos either.

It is a good idea to "lock in" a big payout by making a capital purchase that will be of long term use, rather than have it go bit by bit back to the casinos.

The danger of a big win sloshing around in Neteller (for example), is that it is very easy to start betting more loosely with it, thus losing the connection with your usual "comfort zone" for playing.
