What’s the biggest gambling loss you’ve ever had, and what mistake led to it?

[Player101]

I remember my loss, and actually it was very small compared to others (around 200 USD in one bet, compared to my initial budget it was a big amount that time). This helped me learn what can happen when I decide too quickly. The problem is, even years later, I still struggle sometimes because of emotional betting and even greed (but I control myself better now). What’s your biggest loss in gambling, and what caused it?

Great topic, thanks! Sorry, only now seeing it

I once won £5,000 and blew it all chasing my losses on a multiplayer game.

(Tilts head in wonder)

"Bless me @cocopop3011 for I have sinned! It was a year ago, here is my biggest sin".

I have lost $1000 in winnings on Snatch casino trying to chase that crazy Crazy Time wheel where I was chasing a 50x top slot on any of the 7 segments.

Having a big balance like that would dare me to reach for something more.

Greed once took me for a crashing ride.........my balance demise at the moment, that kept doubling my $13.20 bets into ones that would shock the most comfortable of players.

I became a..........(In a guilty expression)....................JohnnyGotTheBone!

What would be my penance for this sin sister Cocopop3011? 

Thank you for being here too brother Afi4wins!

@Icy There are times when everyone wants to be or play like @Johnnygotthebone when overwhelmed.

Luckily I don't and never intend to either. 

But then again, I NEVER get any huge winning amount either!!! 

However, my biggest loss and mistake happened at Genting Casino (land-based casino in Malaysia) on a day when Lady Luck was nowhere near me and the devil took over my conscience instead - I lost RM4000 on that one day itself (over 25 years ago), and I have never made that same mistake ever again so far. A painful lesson learnt!

iirc I did some degen spins on cherry pop at $5+ per spin and accidentally gambled the bonus($375 value) instead of collecting,  losing it. I've misclicked in poker MTTs which have been costly mistakes at final tables too.

smth like 70-80$ spinning slots. the only mistake was just to continue spinning:(
