If you have ever gambled in your life, you’ll be familiar with the phrase ‘beginners luck’ and that was the case with Grandmother Patricia Demauro as she walked away from the Borgata in Atlantic City with an enormous windfall.

Her visit to the casino was only the second time she had visited such an establishment in her life, but it would turn out to be the most memorable. After watching her friend throw the dice at the craps table, Patricia decided to chance her arm.

After buying in for $10 she went on to win 154 consecutive throws but never disclosed the amount of money she won. The most conservative of guesses would estimate that she won at least 50 times her buy in amount, highlighting that beginner’s luck can be just as powerful as any betting strategy.
