I was participating in a dice contest or promotion and I remember being so close to winning one of the upper-tier prizes but I suddenly got a stroke of bad luck losing two to four rolls. It was so bad because I was rolling at 98% win probability which is the max win probability you can go for on most dice sites and it's one of the better strategies to use for the contest i'm participating. With the kind of luck I had that day I can't forget how unlucky I was even though I had bigger losses than this.

Maybe this is not much for some of us but everytime I remember the money that I spent on slot I somehow have this guilt feeling since you can buy many things with such amount already. That's also the reason why I rarely play slot game when I gamble.
But now I learned not to dwell in my past losses and move on because it can't bring any good to me. Playing in moderation and acceptance are necessary in order to not have regrets when you gamble your money.

I can remember most of my wins but not of my losses because it truly is haunting if I'll still got those in my mind. Well but if I try to remember them, they're not really much as I'm not a hardcore gambler. Unlike those that I'm seeing in here that they've got a lot to lose and they're okay with it since they're determined gamblers.
Yes, you are right that Zynga games do not require real money. it's just that these chips can be traded illegally from players to players. or, from players to collectors who trade them.
I remember zynga poker games. Yes, it will require you chips to play in and as it's a game and a gamble, people can literally buy chips from other players personally so lose there is still considerably an actual loss of money if you lose. 
I thought zynga is just a game that doesn't require real money and only the online gambling is the only thing that is available in facebook in which some of the influencers are making an ads everyday and promoting it in their online streaming. I guess there is more thing in facebook, but then it will teach us a lesson that we should know our limit and we should be careful to our curiosity.
Yes, you are right that Zynga games do not require real money. it's just that these chips can be traded illegally from players to players. or, from players to collectors who trade them. this game is more popular in asia and Türkiye, yes as i remember. because in the past online casino sites were rare, as for some online casinos, the games they adopted were poker games or live casino and sportbook. So, it's natural that in several Asian countries, this game is very popular and can be traded.
although actually, platforms do not allow the practice of buying and selling chips other than in their services. as far as I can remember, there were lots of new gamblers popping up who were initially unfamiliar with this type of Texas Holdem Poker game. some of my friends, experienced material losses due to their addiction. in fact, some others even sold some of their vehicles.
well, referring to the title of the OP thread, at least, every gambler has had their own experiences and stories regarding losses that they might regret. even if willing, OP can also share his experience related to OP's own thread.
I don't have losses in gambling that still haunts me to this day because what I have lost in gambling will not return, so I have no regrets. Maybe it's the amount that I still remember, but usually, after a few days, it will disappear by itself.

We all suffer from gambling losses because this is how things are you win some lose a lot and we have to be responsible for all our actions while we are playing
I shouldn't want to remind myself of the bad experience I've had in gambling, it frustrates me, if I remind myself of defeat, the games I played, it sucks for me.For sure you have reminded me again of the bad gambling that I have ever experienced.

I always remember those two games forever, these two games have made me wary.
My bad gambling losing experience was when I was in high school (around 2010), at that time the zynga poker game on Facebook was very popular, I used my school money for 6 months (about $ 100) at that time to play poker, the result was that I lost everything and failed the exam at that time so my parents forced me to transfer me to another school
So, you can gamble using real money on that game? Awesome. All the time, I thought Facebook games are just free to play but that was also the time I learn how to use Facebook and eventually play popular Facebook games. Never been involved in gambling till I discover cryptos around 2017 and dice was my first game.Luckily I never had a traumatizing loss. Just a bad experience like I am trying to hit the minimum withdraw threshold but then I lose all my balance. Gambling is not wrong but what is wrong is if it's already consuming your life. In your case, you can't focus in your studies. Transferring to another school is not a solution but limiting or quitting gambling is.

I remember until today, I was starting with sports betting, so I created an account on a sports betting site, but I didn't know how to analyze the games, but how I thought that if I bet on the game in which I had a favorite and that I I just had to bet on the favorite, so I bet 0.005 btc on barcelona but barcelona lost against a weak team, game odd was @1.55, after that defeat, I got irritated and went back to bet 0.004 btc on manchester united and lost again, I got irritated and thought about giving up, but I see a notification that I won a free bet worth 0.001 btc. even earning 0.012 btc
I still had a big loss, it was a terrible experience, so I didn't enter that sports betting site anymore and I stopped doing sports betting and I didn't enter any casino for a long time, only after 2021 did I enter any casino but I didn't play anything, I just watched the games and read and commented on the games, that experience of having lost money at the casino made me angry for years, currently I always avoid betting or playing at the casino all the time, I usually stop for a month or more and then I go back to placing bets, then stop again, this is so that I don't become addicted to gambling
Sports betting is usually considered to be safer than other casino games since you have the opportunity to analyze the games and teams and select a team based on that, but this proves that when you are unlucky, even a favorite team can lose the game and you will lose your bet. So even in sports betting, luck does play its roll.I still had a big loss, it was a terrible experience, so I didn't enter that sports betting site anymore and I stopped doing sports betting and I didn't enter any casino for a long time, only after 2021 did I enter any casino but I didn't play anything, I just watched the games and read and commented on the games, that experience of having lost money at the casino made me angry for years, currently I always avoid betting or playing at the casino all the time, I usually stop for a month or more and then I go back to placing bets, then stop again, this is so that I don't become addicted to gambling
But generally if we see, even the poll on this post shows that, sports betting has less risk than gambling on casino games like slots or any other game because there is an house edge and the chances of losing are more than winning.
I am not a player, and I came to this as a child. I remember slot machines from my childhood. Oh, it was my dream to win some kind of toy; every time the machine brought it to the exit through the window, the toy fell, which made me very nervous. I harassed my mother to give me even more coins for new attempts. In the end, the toy was simply bought by the parents.
The other moment was in adolescence. Do you know those lottery tickets where you have to erase them to see the coveted amount of winnings? It was exciting; all the money spent was intended for my pocket expenses.
But I have matured; the passion has dissolved, and now I am sometimes ashamed of my stupidity. Understanding that nothing comes easy in this world has made my life so much easier. A life without illusions provides better security in our very troubled times.

My biggest loss was when I first got to know the Route game and I used the capital I deposited in the amount of $ 150.
At that time I played until it lasted more than 2 hours, the duration of the game, in the first few rounds I managed to get consecutive wins so that the profits I got reached more than $ 400.
Because of the greed that I had, a feeling of desire arose to win and get bigger profits so I increased the bet amount to continue the game but after playing for about 2 hours all of my balance was used up without the slightest remaining.
With high enough emotions, the desire to return the loss reappeared, so I made another deposit of $ 150 and started round after round with the same bet but the result was still the same, my money was all gone.
From this experience, I always think of losing when playing Roulette, so it makes me afraid to play Roulette.

Honestly, I can never remember how many losses I have suffered in gambling. Since the first time I gambled at a crypto casino, I was aware that this could lead to a loss in terms of money so I really had to control myself. Indeed, I have experienced losses, but they were not as big as those I have met because I was trying to control money in gambling. But I have experienced big losses, so I have to learn more about self-control.
And until recently, I had no haunting experiences about the amount of losses I had before. So try to forget about previous defeats and tell yourself that it's all part of gambling and you have to be able to accept it willingly.

The only loss that bothers me was a bad company not allowing me to withdraw so they just disappeared eventually. The excuse to block withdrawals was via kyc which I presented but they objected and demanded more documents to be given in person; I should have realized they were being fake and merely delaying for their later plan to decline all balances while shutting down the site.
Unfortunately I will have to take it as a lesson learned, one tactic to remove a balance stuck in this way is via arbitrage which is to place two bets on the same game and elsewhere you win the bet that you lose in the broken site. Thats the only 'easy' solution I can think of, obviously less then ideal and has a cost to it in the spread.

This happened two years back and I did a big mistake and for that still I'm running and soon after the incident I shared my loss in a thread (Be A Responsible Gambler) as to come out of it. Really bad decision to borrow and gamble, even now I'm paying interest for what I've done. From then I've changed a lot, I loss but not to that extent. Hope I'll end the debts at the earliest. The loss is huge, $15000 and the game is Dice.

What Game : Black jack + baccarat
I remember back in 2018, I accompanied my brother to this physical casino near our my college and he told me that he wanted to earn some quick dirty cash. He explicitly told me to stop him after he profited at least $20 on the run. Time went on and his total winnings amounted to roughly ~$500 and I was in shock and disbelief.
Due to this envy of seeing my brother win, I tried playing blackjack and it went surprisingly well.... for the first 4 games. After that, I tried doing the martingale strategy and my losses grew exponentially. I tried doing my last $500 bet in hopes of at least recovering my losses but that hail mary bet yielded me a big fat L in which I went home contemplating my life decisions.
Even if $1000 is a relatively small amount to some people, this amount of money is high from someone who lives in a third-world country. In short, I spent all of my savings in gambling and it still haunts me to this day whenever I think about it.

Basically I was having a good streak of luck while playing dices and had accumulated some gains, I was feeling bored that day so I continued playing as I was. Suddenly, I left greed to take over and increased the wager while going repeatedly for a low multiplier. It only took some unlucky rolls and everything I managed to win and a little bit more was gone.
I felt defeated and decided to log out, it got me a kind of down for a couple of days, since then as soon as I hit red numbers and my budget is reached I finish my session. I learnt the lesson.

What Game : Qatar 2022 world cup - Argentina vs Saudi Arabia..
I've been losing in gambling before, most especially in slot games, but the loss I mentioned above is one that turned my life upside down, I put everything I had on that bet which mostly was money from my business, which I withdraw from the business solely for the purpose of placing this bet, with hope of winning, then take out the capital and put back In my business, then use the profit made to further expand the business and take care of other expenses..
It never crossed my mind that it is possible for me to lose that money, due to the fact that I was over confident that Argentina would win the game, but they lost to Saudi Arabia, and I lost my money, every strength I had left me, and I collapsed, I was hospitalized for about 3 days, this was my worst experience since I started gambling and loosing money..
But then, every is fine now, I've gotten over the loss and move on, I sure stay away from gambling for several months to enable me heal properly and forget the experience, and even till now, I am not fully back to gambling like before, but rest assure I've put the experience behind me for good.
