The founder of an insurance corporate consulting and training company conquered his gambling addiction and turned his life around.
SINGAPORE — While insurance agent Raymond Lim may now be earning an average of S$100,000 a month, the father of two young children was, in his own words, a gambling "addict", and on the verge of bankruptcy 23 years ago.
How did the 46-year-old, who founded RL Consultancy – which provides corporate consulting and training to those in the insurance industry – turn his life around?
When he was 23 years old, Lim was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy at a time when Singaporean men his age were just starting to launch their careers. As a result of his compulsive gambling problem, Lim hit his lowest point when he realised he was indebted to the tune of S$186,000 with no money to pay it off.
"Casinos, online betting, 4D betting and even, turf clubs... anything you name that can be gambled legally, I gambled," Lim shared recently with Yahoo Finance Singapore.

Gambler's mindset​

Lim was first exposed to gambling through his parents – casual gamblers who enjoyed mahjong and the occasional casino trip. He barely saw his "alcoholic" father, who was always out working, while his mother was a housewife who frequently played mahjong and card games at home.
At 16 years old, Lim discovered that he had a "talent" for calculating odds and probability, and developed a strong interest in understanding gambling. But what started as an interest quickly snowballed into an addiction by the time he was 18. Around that time, Lim began to work part-time in a hotel bar as he was also paying for his studies. There, he met friends who were frequent gamblers.
"After work, my friends and I would get together to play mahjong. By the time we hit 18, we went into sports betting," said Lim.

Well, the insurance industry is quite similar to the gambling industry. Glad he found his calling. :biggrin:

I wonder who he bribed or slept with to get the contracts.

Happy for Raymond Lim and his two tone gold Submariner. But he shouldn't have allowed his income to be published lah. Now I want to get to know him, so I can borrow money from him.
