Let me share to you guys my most regrettable experience which made me despise gambling:
MY MOST REGRETTABLE EXPERIENCE:
We used to own a farm that contains full of chickens bred for fighting. Back when I was around 13 years old, my dad brought me and my brother to a cock-fighting arena since he has 4 fights scheduled. Before every round starts, there are two opposing sides called A and B where each opponent fills the side. After that, people would bet on each other on which side would win. The lowest bet per round was around $10.
At first, I did not plan on betting my money since my dad gave me $10 as my birthday gift. But when I saw my older brother winning like 5 consecutive times, I got jealous and tried betting my $10 with hesitation. I prayed (hahaha the irony!) and asked God to bless me today as I am celebrating my birthday. Initially, I chose side A (since the chicken was tall and looked buffed) but my dad told me to bet on side B. Ultimately, I lost the bet and I gave my $10 to the stranger I betted with.
After my dad won 3/4 fights, we went home and I cried due to my frustration (my brother won a total of $100 from $10). I tried arguing that my dad was the one who betted on my behalf but they told me to NOT GAMBLE IF I CANNOT HANDLE THE LOSS AND WITHOUT EMBRACING THE CONSEQUENCE.
From this experience alone, I knew that gambling would never benefit me and in the long-run. It might have benefitted other people but I still believe that gambling revolves around luck. If the odds aren't on your favor, no matter what you do, you will lose and end up being frustrated!

As what the subject says, lets have a new discussion here (Well maybe not)
So let me start first:
This isn't actually mine but my friend's story and I was just a chaperone that time. We're on this gambling game called "Guessing Game" (Three caps and one penny) which you can mostly see on carnivals. We have seen this game with a big crowd of people betting on every cap that they seem to be their lucky bet.
And because of the winning pots, my friend has been demonically lured into it. We noticed that there something wrong with the shuffler, he's dynamically cheating. My friend took a bet on it and we're sure where it resides, but the shuffler talked to him and during that time he shuffled again as fast as he can without us noticing it. And of course, we lost that game. Can't even tell the cheating thing publicly for we didnt have the evidence.
And after that, we didn't play any games at the carnival until now. We just enjoyed the seats, rides and foods.
What's yours?

Mine as well. I have played that kind of game in a carnival also and I do not even know that it was a gambling game because I am 10 years old by that time and since almost all the games are accessible for all the people even for the kids right at my age I have played that game and since I have an observant eyes when I was at that age, I have noticed the same trick done by that carnival employee on that game but I did not rant already because I have just bet a small amount on it but I am seriously get disappointed by that time because supposedly, I have win that and get my reward but he tricked a kid like me which I did not like. That is why when I have grown up already, I did not play any betting games in the carnival but just enjoy their rides and other games like shooting ball, firing and other stuffs. That is why on playing gambling, I only entrusted into an online casino I am currently into because I do believe it will not cheat on me plus the convenience it gave me for playing enjoying variety of games they have plus a great bonus for doing my first deposit on it.
I remember my first carnival too. It was crowded and loud. All people wanted to bet and all the money were mixed. All it takes is honesty. And theres this girl who always get the winning bet even though its not the place she bets. The older man get angry and said that she saw the girl stole twice. If the girl steel again for the third time, he will punch her face. Ha ! Ridiculous people. This is what fun means though.
Sometimes I think some of this gambling centers stage the wininngs, with fake gamblers like the attractive ladies...this is just my thinking, I have never witnessed or heard one before. Who knows, maybe the winnings and screaming are just to attract more gamblers to the centers.
Well, I will share one moment when I played in a traditional casino, last Thursday. I played on this slot machine, and sit beside one old lady. And then when I hit the first and second reel with the bonus and the third is rolling quick and its possible that I can hit the bonus, this lady suddenly jumps out of his chair and suddenly push my button.
She reasoned out that I could stop it and captured the third reel with the bonus. I don't know if I be mad at this lady or what, but I just decided to laugh it off.
. Didn't get the bonus though, so I just stop and just look at other slot machines. Very weird but it really happens.

We used bet on Dice guessing game on Church fests. There is board with 6 columns where we can place our bets. Dice contained images on each side same as in the columns. The dice will be put into a can and he will shake it well. Then it will be placed on the board with the can upside down. We have to guess the image on the dice by placing bet on the right image. That was my first and unforgettable gambling story.
At a time in my gambling life i almost lost everything but help came in before the worst case scenario occur. Approximately gamble with roughly 10,000$ a week with the whole of my savings and they all went down to nothing untill i found a friend who i cried upto for help as he was better than me in gambling, at that time i was left with just 1,000$ out of the 10,000$ but was able to recovered 10% of the capital 
Thats bad, I've also experienced that, and maybe most addicts also experience it. gamble with all the savings, the worst might be bankrupt, but began to understand the consequences in the days after, made me abandon my intention to use everything. the lesson was to use special funds for gambling. I remember it with my friend, he commit illegal activities just to sustain his need in gambling. But in the end, he'll caught up and get jailed. Hopefully it won't happen to us, it is addiction who bring him into bad.
I will share a couple:
Gambling story #1 - My friends pick me up at the office to play on a casino near by. I don't want to play because I don't have the money, but I simply go with them. Just go around some slot machines and I noticed some money stuck in that machine, look around, so I usually pull the money and play. Ended up doubling the money.
Gambling story #2 - Won big the other night but return back the next day. I'm on the losing streak and almost all the money that I won the previous day is gone. I was so mad at myself and regretting my decision to come back because of my greed. But I decided to play since 90% of the money is gone anyways so I take the risk and play on another slot machine and max betting and during my last bet, I almost hit all wildcards and it was a big win. It was like my previous win 3x. Decided to play a few and then I stop with a huge windfall and never comeback for the next week or so and just enjoy my winnings.

But everytime i remember those days gives me motivation to not becoming a gambling addict for i know there is no future ahead of me
That's a good story. In reality everyone should have such story so that they can stay away from being addicted to gambling. I also get motivation from my biggest lose. I made a lot by playing couple of hours at a row and lose everything less than an hour.When i was in the beginning of my career in gambling, i did not manage money well. This was the main reason why i lose money a lot in gambling because i keep on going to play gambling without any plan and emotions make me made many wrong decisions. Later on , when i become experienced, the one thing which i learnt with experience was that if we use money with some plan, we cannot lose much and the winning percentage will increase.
i tell you something . im a guy that has a lot of plans but everytime i start to play gambling i then forget it . i suddenly loose my self control because im already hooked in the game . i guess this can be consider as one of my unforgetable gambling stories but its not just a story , its a true to life event because until today im still having a hard time to overcome these gambling addictions .

In gambling, always decide happiness, and all the knowledge that the strategy has little importance in the gamble, but it has. Once I was drunk for roulette, and I raised from $ 50 to $ 450 and got out, and I learned it the next day.
I do think that there is a lot of cheating involved with some of the carnival games. I was recently in one, around October I believe, last year, and that's also my first time. I tried playing different games there, and I didn't win a large amount, but I did manage to get some goodies, like candies, stuff toy, etc. What I didn't get is money-back, unlike my friend, who I was with that time, tripled his money. I think that's a great achievement.
What I can't forget is that I saw in a game. It's the game where you shoot the bottles, and it seems like it's hard to do but there's a gimmick there, and it was glued to the table. There are a lot of cheats with those kinds of games.
This is just a stupid way to cheat and the players who didn't see that glued also need to be blamed,but in real its still hard to win even if looks easy.If I am roght you need to hit nine bottle which arranged in a three row,the last bottle in the last row is hard to hit with three shoots.

Hmm, I don't know about this one. Well, I haven't visited carnivals for a long time so probably I'm no longer updated with newer games these days. And because of the winning pots, my friend has been demonically lured into it. We noticed that there something wrong with the shuffler, he's dynamically cheating. My friend took a bet on it and we're sure where it resides, but the shuffler talked to him and during that time he shuffled again as fast as he can without us noticing it.

Maybe both of you got victimized by "budol-budol". For those who are not familiar with it, others say that it was a form of hypnotism and some says it was a manipulation technique in which the offender do everything (usually by talking a lot) to shift your attention into other direction and take advantage with you. Those only according to what I've heard from others, I am not so sure if I described it well since I haven't experienced this modus operandi. At carnivals they try their best to make every game at a high level of difficulty for prizes to be preserved. I havent tried those cup games for I havent seen one but just toys for prizes.
Mostly I have a wow game story which happens in a poker game.
The way pro players makes you think they really have the winning cards for the suit.
There was one who won the championship for using a bluff and really made me wow.
Yes I do want to play long game and that is why I play tournament kinds. Just really for fun and to enjoy it.
In some occasions specially in card games i believe bluffing still in effect as i have also seen some players whos using the strategy even the truth is he has no chance of winning.and also i tried doing that in our local card games,sometimes i won sometimes i loss also Mostly I have a wow game story which happens in a poker game.
