That's pretty impressive. Best I've personally witnessed was a stripper who finished her show and then came out to the video poker machines and started shoveling cash into it. Her hands never stopped moving, the dollar balance would jump up as she put in another bill, then every few seconds drop as she bet and lost. Over and over until she (presumably) ran out of cash. We counted over $1000 into that machine in less than half an hour.
Nah that's pretty unlikely. No leveraged trades/options/derivatives without some kind of accredition + a max order limit based on proof of funds/ income could happen, though.
