This is how gambling problems can start.In all seriousness, if this guy is your friend, try to keep him away from attempting to reproduce this effect. It's easy to forget that odds of 80 to 1 come up less than one time in 80!
Great luck for him thou' - hope it makes a useful difference.

The issue seems to be that he was wasted... happens to be best of us.Where it becomes a problem is if he starts doing this sort of stuff sober because he thinks it will happen again.
Sorry if that sounded patronising - that was not my intention. I just happen to have been reading this board recently, which is a little scary:
