Unforgettable Gambling Stories...

[Oilacris]

My unforgettable gambling story goes like this: I once played a poker game and won 1300$ and then went all in again with additional 200$, this time around, I lost big time. That was last year November. Lesson learnt from this is to avoid greed in gambling.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I will tell a story that happened 4 years ago.

Its a one lucky day for me that I cant forget. My sister and I went to the mall to buy costume that she will use for their christmas party. While she's busy on choosing what to buy I decided to go to the 3rd floor of the mall and play in arcade.

Then I saw this lottery (keno lotto) where you can see the result for each round every 10 minutes. Since the ticket cost is cheap I tried my luck. I won $560, got 8 numbers out of 9. I only missed 1 number to hit the jackpot of $8k. But still its a big blessing because I only spent $3 for tickets.

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.

I can't forget my first winning in gambling, that is three years ago. I was able to manage winning almost 3 btc from a dice game which at that time has a value of more than $1k. It's a jackpot for me since I just started from small amount; probably 0.1 btc. Then I bought a gaming computer for that so I can be able to do more things as I'm still a student who needs a high performance computer.

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 .

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.

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.

How can you keep playing while you have won a lot before, honestly what you did was a big mistake.

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.

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.

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  .

     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.

How can you keep playing while you have won a lot before, honestly what you did was a big mistake. Indeed, gamblers will difficult to stop playing when they feel comfortable and get big profits, can be said they addicted. I think type of gambler like you have to control your emotions and don't get greedy.

I too have seen people who win good money in gambling initially but they never save their profits. They keep on investing the whole money and profits again and again in the gambling games and bets. So it only needs a single bet to lose all their money including the profit. This is called over confidence. If you are wining it does not mean that you will always win.

Beginners luck is a bad thing because if we lost earlier we may not get addicted to it but once we made money then keep losing will result in chasing and more and more money will be lost.Anyway we can try if we can afford the money or we have to accept it and move on to lead our life.

For me gambling is not addiction it is just a way to make money. Those who gets serious and make it an Egoistic issue will face bad time as I think if you consider yourself not suitable for gambling you can quit and again learn about gambling I am sure at second try you will win with your additional abilities.

  There are so many gambling stories of joy and pain. Because the area is so uncertain that you just cannot really predict the outcomes of the game you are gambling at. It is always a best option to have an entry and exit plan and this helps save money in gambling. There are people who initially lose money but end up making the lost money with surplus.

I agree what you said about the entry and exit plan. This would really be helpful in setting your limits when it comes to gambling. Because once you are inside the casino or playing online, you feel the rush and you tend to forget about your financial status. A gambler should always think about this to avoid the heavy debt afterwards. Just play on what you can afford to lose.
