Total losses: $1,698,181 NZD ($1,038,573 USD)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nBefore turning his hand to blackjack, Tim Myers was (and still is) a keen horse bettor. In a recent interview with Punters, Myers described his first devastating loss and first major win, both of which occurred on horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his training as a farrier (a horseshoeing specialist), Myers and his brother pooled a month of their apprentices\u2019 wages on a horse in the 2015 Melbourne Cup. When the horse broke down, it was a \u201ccrippling blow for all concerned\u201d, and the pair lived off \u201cMi Goreng noodles for the coming weeks\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other end of the scale, his biggest payoff occurred during the 2023 Melbourne Cup when he discovered an inflated promo price on one particular horse. Thanks to a couple of loopholes and some no-cap betting, Myers and his friends managed to clean up and somehow \u201cgot one over on the bookies\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naki\u2019s Famous Blackjack Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Early in 2024, Myers hit his biggest-ever slot win and landed the capital to begin his blackjack series. The win in question – $262,280 NZD on Pragmatic Play\u2019s Madame Destiny Megaways<\/em> slot – occurred on January 17th, 2024, giving him the financial freedom to place his first $1,500 blackjack hand two weeks later on February 2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThroughout the three-month series, Tim Myers hit some historical and life-changing milestones. The Kiwi bettor won 10 out of 14 hands in his first two weeks, reached 150,000 followers in just over three weeks, and secured over $100,000 profit in 26 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the next 10 days, he accrued another $100,000 in profit, hitting the 200k mark by day 36. Myers landed his biggest win yet – $108,000 – on day 42, though he also suffered his biggest loss less than 24 hours later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After losing $30,000 in one hand, Myers dropped the stakes from 10c per follower to 2c, though this switch-up lasted just six days before returning to the original format on day 50. The result? A $128,000 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Days 57-59 brought three consecutive pushes, the first (and only) of the series. Myers scored 9 wins and 5 losses throughout the next fortnight before venturing to Red Rock Casino to place (and ultimately lose) a couple of five-figure bets on days 74 and 75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest win of the entire series came on day 80 when Myers left the table with $270,000 after landing blackjack on a $108,000 hand. Finally, after 83 days of playing, he reached the million mark on his second attempt. But while it took him almost 12 weeks to hit this seven-figure status, it took just seven days to deplete his profits back to half a million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After five eye-watering losses (none costing less than $119,000 per hand), TimNaki finally decided to cut his losses and conclude his three-month blackjack series. Ending with half a million in profit and over 1.2 million more followers, it\u2019s safe to say that despite his many, many losses, the project was a roaring success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taranaki native uploaded his first slot stream via Instagram in January 2023 and joined YouTube in September 2022. He has also been wagering on horses since 2015, so he has almost a decade of horse race betting profits (and losses) behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As such, it\u2019s impossible to tell exactly what his net worth is. All we know is how much he has made from his blackjack winnings (a hefty sum) and how much he takes home from his regular slot streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, having skyrocketed into the mainstream and immortalized himself in the gambling hall of fame, it\u2019s likely that TimNaki will have sponsorship offers coming up the wazoo. As such, his net worth will only increase even further over the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tim Naki\u2019s iconic series wrapped up after 90 days, leaving him the opportunity to start something completely new and exciting. And what did he do? Restarted his blackjack series, this time at 1c per follower (to be fair, he has a lot more followers now than when he originally began. And why fix what\u2019s not broken?) We certainly can\u2019t wait to see what he gets up to in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
