I knew a guy who said he was up 1 Million Dollars in a few days but later admitted he was actually “about even”

When I asked him how he could lose track of 1 Million Dollars like that he said something like:

“I bet $100,000 a hand so me losing track of 1 Million Dollars is only losing track of 10 bets. If you (me) being a red chipper were betting $10 per hand & thought you were up $100 but when you got home and counted your money realized that you were ‘about even’ it wouldn’t be a big deal would it?”

And then it all made perfect sense.
