I've thought about that.

It could have turned out a lot better, or I might still be in some Chinese jail today, haha.
I do wonder what would have happened if the roulette wheel had spun differently or different cards came out of the baccarat shoe though. If I had doubled up, tripled up, or just broken even, would I even be alive today? At that point in my life I was totally dead set on self destruction. If I had the means to do so I might have done it comprehensively.
Looking back on it, the whole experience gave me such a huge shake that it did actually set me back on the path to the straight and narrow. Maybe that beat was actually a huge win.
Doesn't feel that way when I look at my measly ****ing roll though.
