5 Biggest Gamblers in History

Archie Karas

Archie was born in Greece, where he discovered at an early age that he had a natural talent for cards. In 1991, having borrowed $10,000 from a reluctant friend, Archie traveled to Las Vegas. Once there, he sat at a poker table and won 4 million dollars.

He was challenged repeatedly by the world’s greatest players to no avail. No one was able to beat him while his luck lasted. He eventually lost all his money in the same manner that he won it.
