Unforgettable Gambling Stories...

[cabalism13]

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?

My unforgettable (friend's) gambling story is whenever he win bets we used to go out and spend all the money together for drinks and foods.

But we are used to work at different places for now,so missing his free money,spending my own money everyday.

First time we saw dog races at the local betting shop, me and a couple of friends made a deal to bet on every single dog and one was bound to win and make us some money. Well this was many years ago, I was quite naive and in reality it didn't go the way we were hoping.

I was in this certain gambling sport sites, i have been winning a lot from it because im so into with sports all my life thats why when i heard about this certain gambling sport sites, i decided to play and bet in it, at first i was really winning a lot but then after for how many months, i was become so careless and very much confident until all the winnings ive won and the money i have save for in crypto wallet all gone because i am now losing. Moral of the story, dont get so cocky and addicted from gambli g, it will lead you nowhere

My most unforgettable experience in gambling was when I was naive and had the impression that I could win any bet If I play on the safest odds, I used some money (about 30%) from what was meant to be my school fees on a 3-matches accumulated odds of ~1.80 unfortunately I lost, I was sad and disappointed but, not as much as I was in a struggle on how to get the money back without my parents knowledge or exceeding the deadline given by the school for the fees to be paid. I made up my mind to go in with another 30% but this time around on an accumulated odds of ~ 2.00 to recover my initial loss, but a few hours to when I decided I was going to deposit and place the bet, I got an offer of a miscellaneous job that offered about the same amount I needed and a little extra change, I had a change of heart, I completed the job though very stressful and decided to pay my school fees and use the change I'm left with to place the bet, which turned out to be another loss, but damn! I was so happy, not because I lost again, but because I wondered what situation I could have gotten myself into.

Is this similar to 3 card monte? Wherein you are being cheated right in front of you but you don't know what those guys are doing it? I have a lot of gambling stories, but I would share what happened years ago when I was playing in a landbased casino, was almost out of f*** money, I lost big, and I can't control myself because I'm chasing my losses. Just about to lose everything until I hit my last spin with a huge windfall and was able to recover all my loses and my money went from 0 to $4K. Went hope very happy then.

[Dreamchaser21]

I miss my childhood because of this, I always play card games with my friends before with a small money involve but of course this is not a serious game we just want to have fun that time and play late night until the sun rise, this is a great memories that I have when it comes to gambling. I also have the scariest gambling experience, when I tried to continue playing without knowing I don't have enough funds to use but luckily I have my friend to save me from that situation, and its really embarrassing.

[Little Mouse]

I had once made almost $500 by playing poker here in my local casino (Not exactly, we used to call it casino) but I remember I have lost everything within last 1 hour. From that day, I promised not to gamble continuously. When I won almost $500, it was a big deal for me.

[goaldigger]

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.

Well, I have also my bad experience in carnival but I’ve already forgot the exact story so I’ll share a different one which I think is good to be share. I tried to gamble with my friends before, and he’s a newbie in casinos like he look amazed by the lighting around the casinos and the machines  and when we play he won his first profit in gambling and I’m shock that time because he shout inside the casinos and everyone are looking at him, that time I’m quiet embarrassed but it makes me happy because I remember how happy I am when I got my first profit too.

I really don't know what to share in terms of carnival experience but I love to bet on color games, when I was a little kid. I was fascinated by this game and try to learn how to beat the odds at a young age.

I Will ask anyone from the house for money and they I will slowly get out and go and place my bet and have some fun with friends and try every strategy I can think of. Ended up losing all the time, but there was one time I won big and treat my friends, it was one of most unforgettable experience for me as a kid.

My story is when I invested into fixedodd with borrowed money of around $1000 and in week I lose all. Since then I have abandoned gambling and only look at what others are doing in gambling industry. I have to pay back the borrowing money with pain.

[semobo]

One of my friend is very good at playing the poker and lucky hand too so I gave money to him for the bets to play instead of me,but he lost the game and all my money gone.Which taught me a lesson that day was don't trust anybody.

[NeuroticFish]

I'll tell 3 stories.

First a good one from when I was a kid.

One summer a "traveling carnival" came to my city. They've also had a slot machine.
I've studied it for maybe a week. Then, when I basically figured it out, I started playing. I had my strategy and I've got some winnings every day. Of course, the winnings were always spent at the electric cars in the same place , but it was a great summer that one.


Now a bad one from my 1st year as a student.

I've first seen the "alba-neagra" game. I don't know how to translate the name. It's a clear scam. It's a game with 3 cups and a small object. It may be the game OP wrote about.
The "owner" gang always wins, that's how they spread out the money between them. The object/penny sometimes is in one of the 3 shuffled cups, sometimes is even out.
It's a game you can't win. I've lost my money I've got from my parents for an entire month. I didn't get other money that month and it was quite a tough lesson.


And the last one, on a happier note.

I already had my first job. Then I knew what's gambling about: spend nicely some time.
I had to wait for a train about 1-2h. No smartphone to read/surf back then. So I've put some money into one of those poker machines. It was fun. I didn't feel the time flying. At the end, when they've announced my train, I asked to withdraw. I had exactly the initial amount of money there

I don't really have any spectacular gambling stories to tell, just some basic wins and losses in fairly small amounts.  I do like reading about lottery winners and other people that hit it big.  I find their experiences fascinating and how a lot of them end up going broke very quickly.  Many of them even say winning the lottery was the worst thing to happen to them.

 a lots of people who are my friends will be getting lots of income from gambling without investing the huge amount they are invested a little about and he will get very huge income in quicktime it will be a unforgettable thing that to be shared from myself.

The first and unforgettable story of gambling in my life was when I was new to my first job. At that time the salary that I received was less than 70$, because I was still a new person there, but because of that environment there were many which play gambling on a soccer bookie, so I decided to get money quickly and easily, then I started to play there and in short, finally I lost everything until I borrowed money to cover it. It was a long and difficult story for me unforgettable, because that's where the story and my first experience received a lot of money from gambling and lost a lot of money from gambling too.

What's yours?

You know what? There's a trick on it which is the diversion of the attention of the player which means they have to lured your attention to something or lured your eyes into something and then they have to do their tricks. This trick applies also to some pickpocketer but also a skill that you have to master for a couple of years.

Your friend may be lured by their decoy, the one that who has a lot of money on his hands that keep on betting the game and simultaneously wins. But when they got to lured some players already, that decoy will just go out of nowhere and one thing you noticed is that it doesn't bet anymore where there are more people. Of course, you might think that maybe he doesn't like the crowd too much but no it is just their decoy to lure more players.

If you really want to win on that game, just watch his hands and don't divert your eyes to anything or make an eye contact because basically it will distract you for a second and the next thing you know is that he's doing his tricks already and you lost it.

A couple of years ago, I was into playing poker and decided that I wanted to experience a real table tourney once at a casino.
I paid around €50.00 for a buy-in and there were like 10 - 15 tables playing at the same time.

Now, I wasn't a particularly good poker player, I just played for fun. After a couple of hours, I got to the final table and managed to finish 3rd place an won around 1500 euros.

I think it still is my biggest win to date and the experience was amazing.

During the game, I was just sipping cocktails and generally having a good time. Met some really interesting people too.

Gambling is always make you loss , that's why I hate gambling until crypto made me try to gamble for the first time.
I was gambling on dice and when I won 0.09 profit, I feel amazing ! But when I loss it all, I suffering a lot.
Overall, gambling experience is tough as hell !
