One thing I've noticed about gamblers is that they frequently underestimate the significance of their losses, whilst overestimating the significance of their wins. If you are going to gamble, at least be real with yourself and acknowledge the truth of the situation. If you're down overall, then you should know about it, same if you're in the positive. I see a lot of false belief in this thread.

Personally, I won about $2,000 in a local soccer match, that was several years ago.

Don't you think it's the same false belief that people have in their cryptocurrency gains? They go in, have a gain of 200%, and then a bear market starts and they have a loss of 300%, but they're still holding on to their coins at a loss believing that times will change and they will eventually get even. A year goes by, market changes, they get even and sell at once with a very small gain being happy that they got something out of it and again regret it later when the market forms a new high.

the highest lost that i've made as a gambler is 50$ , actually for me it's a big amount already so that was the biggest amount i lose in gambling and that time i was so frustrated but as days passed by i still go back to gamble.

Losing hard earned money is so frustrating. In general 50$ is not a big amount for regular gamblers. As you consider it as big amount, my advise is to stay away from gambling. You can lose more than that in a matter of time.

$50 is not a big amount if that person can use $100 for playing gambling. But still, everybody doesn't want to lose the money even for the small amount in the gambling. They will realize that they are spending too much money on gambling, but then, they are losing more money than they can think. So if you still want to play gambling, then you need to limit the amount, for example, you only use $25 for playing gambling, and if you lose all of $25, then you need to get away from gambling.

I am not a regular gambler but seldom gambled with my friends. I remember that I lost about 3500 of my local currency which is about $30 dollar in today’s price. In that time this was big money for me. I was very upset but I think that if try to get back my money from gambling I might lose more money. It is better to quit gambling and never come back.

You made some good decision when that amount means a lot to you. Playing to recover money is a bad idea and should never do that. You should play for entertainment and in case won you should be happy and move away rather than getting more greedy.

I Think if there’s a chance that a person plays for a small amount and have it multiplied a million times like, in a lottery, a lot of people would bet on it hoping that they could win. It doesn't matter if they have a small chance of winning it but the fact that there is a possibility of winning it is enough for them to bet. If you wouldn't risk anything, you won't be able to gain anything. We all need to fail to learn the right things.

I always bought lottery tickets two times a month and I don’t remember how many times I bought this ticket, but I have never won a lottery. From the beginning till date I always lost my money. I don’t remember how much money till date I lost because I never kept records. One day I will win big lottery and will recover all my lost money and that will be my last day.

Used to know a guy in the UK who owned a few horses. He gave me good tips for a few years, he’d put his good horses in Grade 3 races & they’d win. They were always shotty odds, mostly evens. I’d put a couple of grand on & win my stake back plus a couple of grand.

I won loads but occasionally lost so I’d lose a grand or two sometimes. Overall I was up from his tips though.

Most of the time, I just gamble and accumulate the money I win from gambling games then I somehow seem to lose them all in a long streak but in all I think I have lost the equivalent of $100 in a single gambling game.

Specially if you base your bets from martinagle as a gambler starting strategies.

Most of the new gamblers end up losing cause they dont know what type of strategies to use in early bets.

I never bet to many money on cryptocurrencies. But i also made some huge losses. The most of them just because i dont want to sell and hold the coin, and now they are worthlesss. As example the ETHgas airdrop coin. Before the pump i buyed some for some dollars. On the peak i could sell it to one ethereum. But this time the ethereum blockchainw as totally overleaded so i could not make any transaction, and i think it hodl it because it will be worth a lot more.

I always bet small amount which is in my range and which I can afford. I never put big money in a bet because I know that it is very risky and the winning chances are few. I will lose my money. I lost several times I don’t remember that, but I also won several times. I never kept records of winning and losing money because it is not my regular business.

I think that losing cryptocurrency in gambling means not only losing money but also losing a source of income. Cryptocurrency is a business and you can make good profit if the price rises, therefore I think that one should gamble only in his local money. I also lost many times but I don’t remember how much I lost because I never assumed gambling as making or losing money. I always gamble for fun and enjoyment.

Yeah it is right that cryptocurrency is a source of making money. If you trade in crypto or hold your coins for some time, you can make good money. It is much better than losing coins in gambling. If you want to gamble you can visit a regular casino and spend some time there with your best friends but never think that you can earn money from gambling.

Everyone has a different budget for gambling and as you said 50$ is big for you then only thing which I could recommend you is that going forward do not gamble or else only for fun when you have excess amount play with it and do not try to recover the lost amount as it could be the biggest mistake you could make it.

$50 is very small amount for a regular gambler. i lost more than $50 several times, but I also won more than $1000 at a time. If I compare my loses and wins I guess that I have won more money. So I can say that till date I lost nothing, but if you asking onetime loss, then I would like to say that the maximum price I lost was about $900. But I don’t care because I also won many times.

Just last night alone I lost around .03BTC playing slots and roulette. That sucks as I have been trying to avoid playing but I have a friend who just arrived from the States and they wanted to try our local casinos.

They even lost around .05BTC as well so its really a bad night for us. Well it didn't even good for us so probably we won't be going anytime soon. And I'm sure that they won't forgot their experienced either. Lol.

My running total for this year? Probably close to 1BTC lost already. Cry

What ? I guess if you had found something better to do with that 1bitcoin, I can bet you could have been able to find a better stream of income by now.

I am not against someone who wants to gamble, but to me, I feel there are just some certain amount that is always a lot huge for me to hear that someone lost in their gambling spree when I know of a lot of things such an amount can do or even leaving in your wallet can be like in the long run.

Not judging anyone though, and sure maybe for someone who have more than enough, may not find it as something when losing such amount, but generally, it is still a whole lot. I only play lottery and I can say all in all, since I have been playing, I have never gone past 500sats, and at least, I know that I do basically other tangible things to get more money in the long run.

I am not regular gambler therefore I do not bet big money in gambling. I lose just $70 dollars in a bet which was the highest bet I ever made. I do not gamble online therefore I do not use my cryptos in gambling. I always gamble in my locality. There are no casinos in my locality. Some friends bet each other mostly on cricket matches. Bet and also enjoy the game.

My highest lose was about $300 long time ago. That was a big money for me. I earned approximately $150 in that time. It means that I lost my two months’ salary in gambling. But I now I am happy because that was my last gambling and I never gambled again, because I realized that gambling will destroy me and I will never make any money in gambling rather lose every time.

I am not rich (so I was betting small) but I once won $3,000 on a slot machine doing 3$ spins!! It was $1 drafts/free taco night at the casino where I live. I walked up to a slot machine that showed a $3,000 jackpot sat down and told a relative to go get us both a beer handed him $2 and said by the time you get back I will have hit this jackpot. Roughly 5 min later he came walking up with the 2 beers, while the attendent is standing there getting my info( the screen flashing jackpot). I turned to him handed him 2 more dollars and said go get us 2 more!!!! Lol it was a great night. I ended up hitting an $800 bonus later that night!

I remember the time when I got addicted unto gambling unfortunately. Its not crypto gambling site but a gambling in our place. If I remember correctly, I lost around $20 at that time (that is when I am at a young age). If you are young and living in 3rd world country, $20 is a huge amount already and since I'm don't have money enough to use for gambling so I can only give to them $20.

It doesn’t needed to be in third world countries to feel the big loss of $20 because at young age thats really a huge amount and letting it loss for gambling is a sad thing to learn
There was a local game when i am at grade school that i have loss my 1 month allowance for that game,things that become my reason to quit gambling or my parents will let me stop studying because of this issue

As a gambler I lost many times rather I can say that I lost every time. I do not remember how much in one game I lost but I can say that till date I lost more than $20000. This is very big money in my country. It is due to gambling addiction but now I don’t have enough money to gamble nonstop. I still gamble but mostly upto $30 and not more than that.

I know your pain, I used to be penniless and I know how painful it can be to lose even $20 when it's your food money for the next 2 days. Years ago there was a giveaway done by PrimeDice. I don't remember the exact amount but it was something close to that $20. I was happy to get it and decided to play and maybe win some more. I of course lost it all within 10 minutes. It was a pain since I was working for something like $3 per hour at that time.
