The saying goes that the house always wins and for the most part, it does. Every now and then, a gambler comes with so much skill, bravery, or money that they can turn the odds on their head and make millions. Here are some of the most significant bettors that have made a living out of betting.

1. Kerry Packer – $5 Billion: Kerry Packer might have become Australia’s richest man through his family’s business empire, but it’s gambling that he will always be remembered for. This is because Packer always played big.

2. Tony Bloom – $1.5 Billion: There is a bit of a mystery surrounding Tony Bloom, like many people who have made their money in the gambling world. The only thing we know about him is that he studied mathematics at The University of Manchester and was an avid poker player when he was young. Over the years this hobby has won him around $2.5 million and has seen him play in some huge tournaments including the World Poker Tour and Poker Million IX where he finished second.

3. Bill Benter – $1 Billion: Another math whizz who has used his intelligence to earn a fortune by gambling is Bill Benter. Like many young gamblers, Benter started his career counting cards in Las Vegas before turning his attention to horse racing in Hong Kong. In partnership with another gambler, Alan Woods, Benter began building an algorithm that could predict a horse’s chance of winning with incredible accuracy.

4. Edward Thorp – $800 Million: Coming in one place behind Bill Benter is the man who inspired him to gamble in the first place, and Edward Thorp, the man who invented card counting. Using his mathematical and technological genius, Thorp created a way of overturning the house advantage when playing blackjack.

5. Alan Woods – $500 Million: Former Bill Benter partner Alan Woods made money in a similar manner. At one point, they both counted cards together and even worked on the same team. As a result of being blacklisted from Las Vegas casinos, they turned their attention to the Hong Kong horse races. As a result of their falling out, Woods came up with a model that was every bit as successful as Benter's.
