That gamblers only like to talk about their wins, while glossing over their losses?
Let's break with tradition, and discuss our biggest gambling losses ITT. I'll start.
I once sat down to play at a $200 No Limit hold 'em table, and immediately began pummeling the table. Within 20 min, I had $500-$600 in front of me. I got in a duel with a guy and he drew down on me and took my whole stack. So, I bought back in and pretty soon I had $500-$600 again. Somehow I got back into it with the same guy and he took my stack again. So I bought back in, and this time i beat up the table to the tune of $800 or so before the guy tracked me down again and took my whole stack. The last time the guy did it to me he drew the only 5 left in the deck to fill up his 10-5 off-suit and beat my A-10. That guy just had my number that day. All told, I lost $1600 dollars in 2-3 hours, of which $800 wasn't even really mine. Worst gambling day of my life. Legit considered suicide, not because of the money(there's always more money to be had), but because i felt so stupid.

I was up 700 dollars at 3 card poker and lost it all as quick as I got it trying to hit the progressive payout which was like 12k

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

I blew through $5000 in a few hours after winning $15,000 with a royal flush in video poker.

It was an online casino. I was shocked when they actually paid out and sent me a cashiers check for $9500.
Pretty sure there was a hefty progressive jackpot on the royal flush as well when you play five coins.

No taxes. This was the early days maybe 2000 or 2001. No idea the name of the casino. It was located in Antigua.

that doesnt at all surprise me. right about the time when the big online holdem boom was coming around. and all the crazy offshore betting was starting to get big.
