Only gamabled for one night.
Told my self "$50 for a couple hours of entertainment? That’s fair if you ONLY spend that much. (Here its ~$18 for a cinema ticket. So ~$30 for a movie night for 1)
Didn’t expect to win. Just treat it as a cash for entertainemt transaction, and I can walk away guilt free.
Think (well, HOPE) I walked away with $200 in the negative. 1 small $10 win leads to one more round, leads to oops, I spent to much. (What I remember, that was only the money on chips, not the drinks.) Never again

Forgot to add. Spent the next 2 nights at the hotel mad at myself. " if I had $200 now, I could buy X, Y or Z, not throw it away on that 2 moments of “yes, that’s my card”

In highschool I bought $20 in raffle tickets and won a $120 mini fridge that I used throughout college. I would get happy feelings when looking at that fridge for years.
Only positive feelings I ever got from gambling.

I’ve been to Vegas once. I played 4 quarters in slots and on my last one, I won $1.25.
I stopped while I was ahead.

~£50,000 overnight fucking around with meme stocks. Good times. 2021 was a wild year.

OMG! And that is pounds? Worth more that US dollars. I think you won the question. Well, lost, technically.

Yes pounds sterling, gambled on the finest American clinical-stage biopharma for that sweet sweet volatility.

With how much Xbox talks about losing gamers to sports betting apps in the “attention economy”, I’m really glad to see this thread isn’t 90% just “lost $10k on fanduel during the Super Bowl”

0, gambling doesn’t fire off any feel-good chemicals for me, so I don’t do it

I tried slot machines in Vegas. Even themed ones for properties like Back to the Future were the single most boring experience I’ve ever had.
You’d think they would see mobile games and come up with a fun way to lose money, but they are just a chore.
I cannot conceive how people sit at those things. At least poker is a fun game. Never played it for money though.

I bet that I could ride a bike (MC), and lost my ability to walk properly.
Does that count? I don’t like to gamble unless my life is somehow in the pot. Money is boring.
Edit: I see that the title literally says money… so I guess the hospital bills.

Not exactly gambling but lost like 3 grand one day trading crypto. Been longing coins with some promise, shorting dumb rugpulls, back and forth on some volatile stuff, getting a few extra bucks a day in the background for a couple years at that point, but I was stressed the fuck out that day and, on impulse, in between extinguishing other fires going on in my life, I basically put an extra 0 or two into the order amount. It was the correct bet otherwise, but I didnt have enough collateral and got margin called. Overall net positive if discounting my time, but I’m still hesitant to return to trading

400 I think it was at the casino. 19 young and dumb, did it once. Now I refuse to go near any poker machines even, which is pretty hard if you’re in Australia. It’s fucked there.

I once won a voucher at a congress fair boot for about 25 bucks for visiting a casino. But then I noticed that the casino was basically at the other end of the city, and getting there would be time consuming and expensive.
So i didn’t go. Does that count as gambling loss?

Not really, cuz the voucher for $25 was actually a voucher to lose more than $25, and instead you lost $0.
