     Well, I guess that I will tell my battle story. Back in 1993, I was playing blackjack at the Mirage casino in Las Vegas. It was a two deck game and there were lots of tens and face cards remaining in the decks, so I had placed a bigger bet of $300.00 USD. I was dealt 2 9s and the dealer was showing a 5. I split the 9s. When all was said and done, I ended up splitting 9's 3 more times, for a total of 4 hands. 1 of the hands had a 2 dealt on the 9 so I doubled down on that hand. I got a 7 for 18. After I had split four times, I got another 9 dealt and the dealer reminded me that I could not split anymore. The other two hands had 8s dealt on them. So I was sitting with 4 hands of either 18 or 17. None of the hands had a single 10 on them. The dealer then flips his card and there is a 6 under the 5. My card counting had indicated that there were a lot of 10s and faces in the deck. Needless to say, the dealer finally dealt that long overdue 10 value card. That certainly was a devastating blow. However, crazy me went to the ATM and got more money. Despite the bad hand, I believe that I actually won $5000 dollars that night.
    It's hands like this that make me question the splitting 9 move, even though that is what basic strategy states.  

I know this game. Of course the man cheats but your eyes cannot catch his hands moving so fast and I think he is also distracting your attention by his movement and talks. This is also so addicting. Mine was when I was a teenager yet also in a festival/carnival. Throwing coins on a board where the board was full of squares and each square has corresponding prizes written. It was not easy to shoot a coin in the middle of the square since the size was almost same size with the coin. If your coin dropped inside the square, you won the prize written in it but there are also empty squares. It was fun but it also finished all my pocket money and I won only 2 glasses that are made in China  .

I'm mountaineer and I have been ten years for at least to climb a mountain. I have been hearing many people out there especially from my neighbor with my activitiy to climb a mountain. I have told that to climb one mountion I need $300 (depend on a distance to mountain that I'll climb) to spend for food and other equipment for my provisions later, and the fatigue that I will get when I go home later. And they were surprised by what I did, there is no profit from the activities that I did but I continued to do it every time I had a free time. I just told them, that is my hobby, I am willing to do everything as long as I didn't harm other people. And this thing was done by some gambler, as long as they get happiness from gambling and didn't harm other people I think it is reasonable thing to do.

Different people has different mind sets,... That's just a common attitude for those whose gone crazy at the moment, because of the continuous winning  on the game without even thinking that they'll also lose their chances.
Even though it is a big mistake, it can't be avoided sometimes, so as long as you enjoy and it doesn't affect your family and lifestyle then just play the games that you wanted.

Long story short... I once deposited around 300€ to play some poker online. Decided to go wild and play like a complete maniac. I didnt use the money for a tournament buy-in but played cash games. Within a couple of hours those 300€ became 30.000€ - I didnt stop and by the morning (I played from ~7 pm till 8 am) I lost it all... Its a crazy story I will never forget... Its hard and I can still enter the poker site, check my history and see it.

You are very lucky to win $1300 in a poker game because not all of the poker player can win those amount of money. Although right now, you are lost, I think you can get another big win someday but you should aware not to use too much money in a poker game or other gambling games. I agree that we need to avoid greed in gambling because we will lose more and more money.

Congratulations for that mate,but if our only managed to hold that winning for atleast whole year for sure that amount multiplied by 10 now 😂

Anyway only few who got a chance winning whole BTc now because maybe the price is very high or the sites don’t wanna release big winnings .

That’s really a lesson mate but that’s how gambling works,you risk little you won little you risk big you migh win high

This is really very nice to see people earning such huge amount for gambling in case of buying lottery we actually depend on luck and this is all luck based game. In gaming I prefer learning because only learning gives me good profit. I personally waiting for this day when I will feel I can win I will gamble.

This is one of the sad areas of this gambling. Sometime you will feel that the best way to make money is through gambling and the current strategy you are using is one of the best strategies that exist but most time things don't work in that way and most time before you know you will see that you will start to see that loses is at your doorstep and if care is not taking you will see big loses in no time and it will always surpass the gain.

You never know when you will be lucky in lottery because with just one win, you can win big and you'll be satisfied with that and you might not even think of gambling anymore. But it's sad if you buy lottery tickets not using your spare money as you would really feel the pain in the long run.

Looking for a big price is really tempting and seeing one of your friends won the jackpot price is quite amazing. We can also be thinking for a try and hoping that we can make it and hit the lucky number, but somewhat it could be purely a bit of luck and sorry for myself which I don't have any luck in gambling and just lose my hard work money in buying lottery tickets.

To me this unbelievable and unforgettable because it should never happen normally but the one time I placed a bet for a team to win its 2nd round against the same team it had just won with zero losses.
  Instead what happened was the team that won flawlessly then in 2nd innings lost every single point without stop, they seem to have given up despite just receiving an easy win.   I have zero idea why that occurred but it matched exactly my biggest bet ever and I greatly regretted betting anything less then a full game, this was more of a side bet type proposition and it was a wild failure in this case.

For me the unforgettable gambling story is the period when I was actively  betting in sports, especially on soccer. I was watching every matches, reading analyze of games, also once I decided to create thread here and had very successful results but then stopped because I had no time for betting, when I was betting, I actually had free time.
The reason why this moment is unforgettable for me is that at the moment I won 150$ in 0.1$, imagine how great odds I had in overall, nearly 1500, wish I would bet 1$ and higher. Also that day I won 60$ on 0.15$ freebet. That week I wasn't losing.

Sorry for that, but yes, greedy is something we have to control in the gambling habit because the desire to win more and more will eventually leave us in great regret. Btw, I have a lot of stories about gambling from good to bad, but the sad story of me being almost bankrupt and having lots of loans will be an unforgettable story that I don't want to repeat again.

My gambling unforgettable movement came during the juat concluded 2019 edition of the Africa cup of nation tournament. I did successfully predict all the matches involving my national team without losing any. Predicted all our group stages matches correctly including our lost to Madagascar in the last group stage match. Also bet on us losing to Algeria my comments on the AFCON discussion thread can defend that although I was always hoping our national came prove me wrong but they couldn't and lost. Were i got it all wrong was the Senegal vs Algeria game (finals) I let my emotions take advantage of me and went for Senegal although Algeria have been the best team in the tournament reaching the finals without losing a single game. Well I lost that bet but still it was a fun experience.

Avoid greed on gambling is the hardest thing to do when you are on the mid way.Emotions plus impulsive decision making can really mess you up.Hard to resist and goes all in yet you knew that you might able to recover but it doesn't work that way.

My story is on losing up money on dice bigtime by accidentally press that all in button.

I deposited around $60 into a CS:GO skin-based crash casino site and came out with around $800 in winnings, though I only cashed out around $200 if my winnings and I managed to squander the rest of the money over the next few weeks that I played on the same site. I've had several other wins smaller than this on various crash sites, but nothing quite like it. I also don't gamble with CS:GO skins very often anymore.

In this scenario, you should learn how to stop if you had seen that you are already gain profited on a gamble. Because as my experienced, the longest you'd play gamble you have become a weaker player that might possible of loss.
I have different stories in gambling but there's one that I never forget in Primedice before, I accidentally hit the button max bet. I almost can't breath when the dice start rolling because I wagered a max bet, but luckily I won.

I have a funny gambling experience as well. During back in college I am getting used of being alone because aside from I don't have a previous highschool classmate who went to the same course with me.. I am also a shy kid back then and as a fresh grad I was really left out. However I have found some classmates who accompanied me.

They are the so called lefties in the class community. Who are always absent in the class but always present on the drinking session. Fast forward, they brought me at the back houses outside our school and there I saw them gambling a unique game but is known in the philippines street gambling. I forgot the name of the game but the game mechanics is simple. You have to guess the 12 digit serial number at the back of the 20 peso bill. If who gets the  closest wins the game.

I did not play the game but the exciting and scary part is during that moment a police operations happens on the few houses away where we stayed and somebody shouted. So all of us got shocked and have immediately evacuated. Then here comes the tv news in the evening where I found out that one of my classmates who accompanied me was caught. That was the last time that I have followed them lol. 2 years after I graduated  I went back to that place and the gambling there are still rampant  having the maritime students as their main gamblers

Not mine, but my brother's experience. He loves betting at cockfights where he bets the salary he earns every month. There's this one time recently where he lost all the money he earned for a month (what I meant all means "ALL") nothing left, all his money lost, even his allowance for that month. I don't know if that will be his unforgettable experience in gambling but to me, it is. Besides from not giving some to us his family, he didn't even have some money for himself which is very stupid of him. I just hope he'll never do the same thing ever again.
