What is the most you have ever won gambling? What is the most you have ever lost

[sokani]

First, I'd like to say that I don't gamble frequently and I play sport betting mostly. I can't remember the exact year but it was my newbie days as a gambler. I played 4 matches draw with $3, it turned out green, and I won about $350. As an inexperienced gambler, I started gambling recklessly and I lost everything to the bookies. I'm not proud of it and I don't feel bad about it because I learnt my lessons and I'm a now a better gambler.

I've lost about $1k in a single night when I was still nee in online gambling.  It was with roulette which is a pure luck game. I was frustrated that time which made me bet continuously and ended up with nothing, was also equivalent with my 1 month salary back then which really made me struggle and became a lesson. I took a break from gambling and moved with sportsbetting. My biggest profit is $3k I guess, and that's for more than two months of having quite of a good win-lose ratio with my bets but I'm still happy with it. If we would look in a deeper context, you could really lose big amount in an instant and will more often win smaller amount that what you have lost. Luck is not something we have control of. Up until now, I am limiting the amount I am engaging in gambling to avoid the unwanted outcome. Winning is surely difficult therefore to be preventive of loss is important by means of self discipline and regulation. You could be lucky indeed and we don't have the same fate.

I have a friend of mine who won $50k in a single night with slots. Also a family friend who won the lottery with big reward. It is really envious however we know how gambling works. Not because other people won big amount, it will be guaranteed to all of us already. It depends on your luck, but pushing it won't be of any help.

Wow! 1k loss and 3k winnings, thats pretty good! Hopefully some of that luck from your friends will rub off on you! If you have been on a gambling streak it is always a good idea to step back for a time and reassess yourself, especially if you are depending on the income to live. I hope you win big buddy!

I won a huge jackpot (Max Win) on a slot, but when I calculated my total deposits, it did not recover my losses from all those deposits.

You might think that a huge jackpot is life changing, but first calculate how much you gambled in total and then subtract your win from that. You might find that you are way in the red, when you look at the bigger picture.

Maybe if the loss part is still a sore subject just refrain from posting anything about that, I am just curious to see what people will say.

If you'd like to, please comment the most you have ever won gambling, please describe what you bet on, for how much, and the winnings (for fun tell the story).

I'd like to know how it changed your life (if that was the case), what did you do with your winnings? Would you have done anything differently now looking back? Do the same for the losses if you choose to.

As gamblers we have to accept that losing is a part of the game therefore we have to be comfortable talking about our losses as we meant learn something from the story that'll help us to become a responsible gambler as there's something that always makes us to lose when gambling. It could be addiction or greediness therefore we shouldn't avoid talking about our losses. I have had my biggest lost when I lost $800 from multiple bets in a day, I was revenging my previous losses when it happened.

My biggest winnings was when I won over $3000 from playing sport betting, I picked different teams from different leagues to increase my odds and I used $50 to play the game and it gives me $3000. I have had similar wins but this amount on the day I won means alot to me as I needed money that time and just gambled without any hopes and I was lucky to have won the amount and it was used for my expenses.
