Chapter 4 – The Ultimate Gamble
6:30 AM.
James woke up with a newfound sense of purpose. He had accepted that no matter how much money he made, it wouldn't carry over. But that didn't mean he couldn't push the limits.
Yesterday, he had turned $47.3 million into nothing. Today, he was going bigger.
His strategy was flawless now. He had memorized every market movement, every news event, every trade that would make millions.
By 9:30 AM, when the markets opened, he moved fast.
Oil futures? All in, knowing the price would spike.
Tech short positions? Doubled them, timing the exact moment of reversal.
Index options? Leveraged 100x on volatility swings.
Every decision was executed with absolute precision.
By the time the closing bell rang at 4:00 PM, he checked his balance.
$118 million.
James exhaled. This was it. The perfect trade.
But now, it was time for the real test.

7:00 PM – The Gamble
James sat in a dimly lit VIP betting lounge, sipping a whiskey he hadn't even touched.
He already knew the final score of tonight's football match.
The odds were insane—1:7.2. The underdog team was supposed to lose, but James had watched this match play out before. They would pull off an impossible last-minute comeback.
He wired $50 million to the betting house's account. The staff stared at him like he was insane.
"You sure about this?" the bookmaker asked.
James smirked. "Absolutely."

11:45 PM – The Moment of Truth
The final whistle blew. The underdog team had won.
The lounge erupted in chaos. People screamed, bettors lost their minds, and James? He just sat there, watching the numbers on his account.
$360 million.
He had done it.
He had just made $360 million in a single loop.
But as the excitement settled, an unsettling thought crept into his mind.
Would any of it matter when the clock hit 6:30 AM again?
