He advises about winning and losing in gambling and if you get depressed because of it, gambling is not for you. He meant winning and losing are part of the game where great things and bad things happen.

He is absolutely right because gambling is all about loss and profit. Gamblers who will not participate in gambling solely because of fear of loss are not gambling at all but rather should lie locked in their room. It will not be the case that I will not go out on the road for fear of an accident because to reach the destination one must go out on the road just as one must accept to experience profit or loss in gambling.  If we participate in gambling then we must face profit or loss because this is the eternal rule of gambling.

Dana White has been admitted that he lost 8 million within one night at Blackjack game and when the host asked him does he don't want to recover his loses or not then Dana White has been answer he was never thinking about that and leave the game however Dana White has a net worth more than 500 million so i am sure lost 8 million isn't big problem for him because although he lost millions dollar through an gambling but he hasn't thinking to stopped his habit

Do not forget too Dana White can be called as the professional gamblers and besides can earn money as UFC president his source of income also came from gambling and  if i am not mistaken on 2021 he banned from playing at the Palms casino Las Vegas because at that time he was successfully to beat that casino with gets 1.6 million from Blackjack too

He was interviewed on Lex Fridman's channel just today. Funny how he thought it was just $80K but it's actually $3M. Rich men lose more when they get drunk playing blackjack.

He advises about winning and losing in gambling and if you get depressed because of it, gambling is not for you. He meant winning and losing are part of the game where great things and bad things happen.


Definitely,we learn each day from such experience and stories and it's an eye opener to the upcoming generation that still want to gamble and make money out of it,and again gambling when depressed, emotional,angry and so on its not favourable to oneself.
Youight be thinking,yeah I'm depressed and need air out myself so you just dive into gambling and then cause you mind isn't stable,you might just gamble with a huge sum and end up loosing after all which will even generate an advance depression on you.

And he's very correct to have said that winning and loosing it's a criteria for gambling that comes with both good and bad effect of which any gambler should know about.

The right word and the reason why he lost more money in the story given by the OP is that he gambled when he was drunk, his logic was unconscious and only relied on emotionality at such times, of course if the brain is unconscious and drunk, no matter how much is spent at such times we will not be afraid, because the decisions made are not in the sense that sober people should gamble, I think it's because his position is unconscious.

Of course we need to learn from this, never gamble when drunk and or mental state of mind in a bad situation because it will affect emotionality when playing.

He might have consumed alcohol due to which he made a mistake in selecting the correct number at that time. He lost more money than he thought. Gambling is already very risky, a gambler can lose all his money due to a small mistake whereas if a gambler gambles under the influence of alcohol then his loss is guaranteed. Gambling can lead to both profit and loss but still we should try to gamble responsibly so that we don't make any big mistakes. Whenever we make a big mistake we will face a big financial loss. Gambling should be done with a relatively small amount of money without taking excessive financial risks and should make informed and cool minded decisions regarding gambling.
You are right about alcohol because it is also written in the first post. Mistakes can happen not only for the drinkers but if we are more careful, we can minimize or prevent them. The only moment gambling became very risky is when we are staking with huge amounts. A small mistake is only small but they can be deadly sometimes. If only we deposit money that are not huge enough, it's not going to be a big deal losing them all at one go. Gambling under the spirit of alcohol does not guarantee a loss. I remember some also ended up with a huge win but it does not mean that we will now follow it. Some activities should be done separately.

He didn't lose focus, he lost money... $3M is a lot of money, but not for him, I think he can afford to lose this amount. I like what he said about gambling and life, he is pretty much an honest guy with some crazy life experience, so I think he can be trusted. Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes crazy shit happens to us, but instead of crying for losses, we need to suck it up and continue fighting. I agree with him that people who fight with depression should stay away from gambling (and social networks), and people who have a hard time when it comes to dealing with downturns should stay away from gambling.

While I'm of the opinion that gambling is not for the faint of heart, I'm really surprised how you would easily proclaim him to be trusted and honest? Unless you know the guy personally, you might want to take whatever he said especially experiences with a grain of salt.  Gambling is a risky business and only those that have the stomach to take on negative outcomes, should indulge. In my experience, losing a bet is hurtful for everyone but some people have come to the realization that you're never going to win all. You will win some and lose some.

At the end of the day, staying pessimistic makes it easier to deal with gambling outcomes. This way, you're not surprised or disappointed by the outcome if it doesn't go your way.

Anything can be used as a way to learn more about the world and about ourselves, and while there is no doubt that we must not follow his example, at the same time this could be a good lesson for the many people out there that believe this could not happen but only to those that are addicted, but this is not true, losing control for a single night and lose so much money that your life could take a turn for the worse can happen to anyone, and the sooner people understand that, the easier it will be for them to take measures to prevent this from happening to them.
You are completely correct that everyone is vulnerable to making mistakes and falling into the trap of overspending and addiction, whether in gambling or any other form of dangerous behaviour. People sometimes don't know they have a problem until it's too late. It affects not only those who are "addicted," but also anybody who lacks the necessary knowledge and awareness to grasp the risks and repercussions of what they're involving themselves into.

When it comes to gambling, the mixture of money, drugs, and alcohol is undoubtedly dangerous. It can impair our judgment, resulting in bad decisions and even dangerous situations. Even if people don't have millions of dollars to lose, they can still make rash decisions and lose more money than they can afford. It's like an endless loop: the more we lose, the more we feel compelled to recover our losses, which can lead to even more rash decisions.
Which is what we should keep from this story as a lesson: anyone who's combining anything that was mentioned earlier during gambling is bound to eventually lose all their money. As I already mentioned, the most important part of this story that concerns us isn't that he actually lost $3 million, but what habits and behaviors to avoid during gambling. You don't need an abundance of money to lose everything, and I'm guessing that the majority of us here cannot afford to be as reckless as Dana.

As a player you have to be very clear about what you are getting into, only if you are playing in a casino and drinking alcoholic beverages is something that I do not recommend, I only recommend it if you have a couple of beers and only if you have the money to spend in a casino, obviously without exceeding what you can spend, if you do not take control of these things your life will get out of control and that is what we should not allow, that is why when we look for fun and extreme things, we must do them at our own risk and Our 5 senses are very active, and when we drink or worse still there are people who take drugs, things go to another level, and enter a level of total irresponsibility, in fact there are people who even lose their lives, because if they reach a point addiction level is the worst thing that can happen to them.

When it comes to those free drinks then it get used to be one of the tactics or methods on which casino would really be using but we know that drinks would really be offered into those who are always at the casino and making some wagering on which we know that once you are under the influence of alcohol then judgment becomes that vague and this is something that you would really be that
making those impulsive actions because you cant really be able to control your emotion and this is something that you should really be watching out. Any possible things that  you might be able to encounter which its really that part of their strategy. Ex. having no clock at offline casinos where gamblers cant be able to know what time it is.

As for loses then this would really be depending on how far you could really be able to reach or last because we know that house do always win at the end.
If you are lucky enough then you might be able to pull up something but most of the time you would really be consider as a loser.
I had only gotten drunk in my life, because I was very resistant to alcohol, but one day at a party they gave me a drink that was fresh from the still and that is actually like airplane gasoline, it is an impressive thing and well at that moment I lost control, I don't know how it happened, but it was something really bad, in a casino it is always good to have some alcoholic beverages, but controlled, without losing control because that is something that we must do well, so that we can have the thoughts expensive about our gambling, with alcohol the ideas can be very cloudy and we can do things very badly, or become uninhibited for anything else, the combination of alcohol with casino gambling/driving is never good, and that is one of the premise that we should always take.

This is proof that drinking and gambling should not go together but casino operators freely serve liquor to their clients because they know that gamblers when intoxicated will do foolish things when they are gambling, obviously Dana White is not aware of this, but now that he losses $3 million instead of $800k.

Now he is preaching that gambling and drinking should not go together, because even if he is a big-time promoter, $3 million will hurt his pocket.

If you're going to drink and gamble, be sure you have someone at your side who is sober and will decide for you if you are out of control.

This guy is not a role model for this kind of thing because despite his popularity, he cannot be trusted since he lost his focus in a crucial moment of his life and you can see that money is nothing for them since they can earn it back sooner or later and this is what should people avoid when playing because if they cannot control their emotions or play drunk like what he did, they will forget their needs and continue playing without taking account of the consequences later. For him, it was a big lesson and still, he has his properties but for others, it would be a life-ending story since that will probably cost him his life.

The actual moral from this story isn't for us to completely avoid gambling, but rather approach it with caution, awareness of oneself and with a sound mind. Gambling isn't something that one should get involved with when he's not in his right frame of mind. Dana White's approach to gambling was unquestionably reckless, but it is also true that gambling can be done more responsibly. It's all about understanding the risks and taking precautions to protect oneself, both financially and mentally, and not when you're under any sort of influence that's capable of clouding your judgement.
Actually you wont really be needing to read up someones story or would really be hearing out someones advises because you could really be able to make out such act. Whereas, making use of your own common sense
and be wary on the things that is happening around would really be that enough or sufficient for you to be able to make yourself to realize on what are the things that you should really be needing to be done
for you to be able to avoid up such disaster towards gambling. You wont really be putting up yourself on such trouble if you are really just that making yourself that responsible towards your actions.
When it comes to potential loses then it would really be sky is the limit or simply it would really be basing up on how much money you could really be only have.For those people who are rich or known personalities
then they could really be able to spend up tons because of their financial capacity and same goes into the amount that they could potentially lose up too.
Having those advises and words of wisdom isnt that bad to hear out but its actually that something basic on which yourself could be able to find out easily.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
Saying that "it's just $80K" shows that they really have all the money in the world and it's just a drop in the bucket, you know? I agree in some ways that if you get depressed, it's definitely not for you. You need to get checked because it's YOU who decided to gamble and YOU decided to risk an X amount of money. It's all part of the risk when you are gambling.

I wish i had his problems to worry about. Oh, I lost some money gambling, no new Ferrari this month Sad
Rich people's problems are the least of my concerns, but it's nice to imagine from time to time and think of all the things we could do with just one of Dana's monthly paychecks.
I dare to say you could build a whole house for yourself, buy a good car, furnish the house and you'd still have some money left with just one of his paychecks.
For most people losing that kind of money would mean depression. For him it's just a cool story to tell at parties.

This must be a big lesson not just for him but for everyone here who are fond of drinking while gambling. Just like Dana said, drinks are offered for free but it does not mean that you need to drink while you are gambling. So it’s actually having your own discipline so you won’t get drunk and will stay focus on your stake. However, I believe not everyone is good enough not to drink but the fact that alcohol will create a dizziness effect and will get you off from your consciousness, then it’s a must to avoid drinking while your are gambling. Otherwise, you will end up making worst things out of your consciousness and eventually regret in the end.

Let put it this way mate, you don't drink alcoholics that have high chance of getting someone drunk, because when we use the word Drinking it can be water, fruit juice, wine ,whiskey, etc. So the best opinion as you have given is not getting drunk while gambling.
It normal as the big guys are fond of drinking while they gamble but you the low guys only get drunk when they lose. In essence the message Dana was passing out but seems most persons didn't really get, is for gamblers to build discipline so as to avoid Ill situations from gambling.

Imagine it was someone else (poor, middle class) that was in such situation it would have resulted  to  suicide, depression, emotional disturbance. So by all means Moderation and Discipline is needed as a gambler. Because it takes only  a system to conquer another system, so as to make you the master of the game and not been played by the game.

He is rich and from what I have heard, his message is that losing and winning is part of gambling. This is for the rich, middle class and poor who are trying to gamble, they have to understand that this can happen to all whether they lose or win regardless of whether them being drunk or not. And so if you are not ready to accept you lost a hundred and you wanna come back for it, then you are going to start a bad habit, that is the crossroad right there.

From being $80k and telling it was "just" already means a lot for someone like me but I can speak for the majority of us that it certainly is a lot of money and there's the behind the scene with it. That also shows on how rich Dana that can lose $3M on just one particular night. I can't even attain to lose thousand of bucks or even hundred but with him, it seems that it's just nothing but well, this is how the rich plays. Money is truly a tool to them that they can use to have fun. While he's on a better state of giving advise to the other gamblers because he won't lose his entire money on it. It makes sense to give the reminder to everyone that no matter how much money you have, make sure that it seems nothing to you when you lose or else you're going to regret and will have to work your ass hard off with it until you recover it. We're far from Dana but we can have that mindset that how much we lose in gambling can be literally nothing or even more that we afford to lose. From the basic and simple tips that we're saying to the other gamblers of losing what they can afford to lose is the whole point of it.
