I have so many of such stories though never in blackjack and every story of mine is with slot machines. I am stupid I guess because I always watched the same pattern that some small wins in the beginning of the session and then soon after massive lost spins or buy bonuses until I lost everything. This has been going a lot of time with me until I released that I cannot be this stupid anymore, I watch how things repeat themselves in many different casinos meaning it was the bad luck and the providers I used to play were destroying me, I learned my lesson the hard way, now I almost don't gamble at all anymore, except a very few cases and if I start noticing that pattern I immediately quit and don't continue anymore playing. These are the lessons that I have learned which are serving me well now.

My winning experience was the biggest max win at Fruit Party, and it might be difficult to repeat. A $0.50 bet on a $5 balance gave me the max win before it ran out. One lesson is that I lose control too easily, forgetting important things that also need attention. I was too hopeful of getting the max win again, even with a smaller bet, but I often deposited beyond the limit. However, this happened a long time ago, about three years ago.

Never rely on luck as it makes you greedy. Just like you I've played blackjack using LTC I think at that time the LTC's value is small and I started from $80 to almost $1000 and I played it for hours, and of course it's my first time winning and as a new winning player, I am trying out how long my luck will last until I stumbled into 5x lose streak and my stubborn head keeps telling me that it's unusual to lose 5 consecutively and the next bet will be a win and of course I doubled it (martingale) and yet again, it's a lose bet. After that I stopped, from $1000 winnings to around $400, I know it's still a win but imagine if I am not that greedy I would be able to enjoy the $600.

There's a lot of lessons you can earn in gambling but most likely it's a lesson on losing  because it's in the human's nature to be greedy unless you've conquered it or made that mistake already.

We all have our experience in one way or the other, I have had that experience countless times. I even sold  my phone and used for offline gambling and lost it all. After having this painful experience I learnt to adjust my gambling habits, by learning to stop when necessary and not allowing my emotion to control me. it is good to gamble what we can afford to lose than chasing after loses that lead to losing all our money.

If it is me that won like 2x or more, I will withdraw the money immediately. You can not understand what I mean until you can read my mind. Like if I win up to that, there would be an adrenaline energy in me to go to exchange (not wallet), copy my account address on the exchange, go back to the gambling site and withdraw it immediately. Not only that, I purposely used an exchange because I am converting it to fiat as fast as possible I see it on the exchange or when the exchange send me deposit notification. The is the kind of excitement I like while gambling.

I’ve heard plenty of stories where people win big at first, but end up losing it all because they didn’t know when to stop. Honestly, knowing your limits is everything. If you can walk away while you're ahead, you’re already winning , no matter the amount.

When I was new to gambling I made two stupid mistakes.

I risked more than I was ready to lose.

I managed to make money in slots and I kept gambling.

It doesn't take too long that I lost everything to gambling that day and this mistake affected me for weeks, I took my eye away from gambling and never came back until maybe two months later.

I wasn't ready to lose that money, but winning at first made me think that I can keep winning more, my greed got doubled until everything turned zero.

My story is the same as yours. I have a substantial amount of tokens that I’m staking, and I’m earning a daily interest from doing so. I made a bold move by using them to play a game of dice. I triple the amount I was thinking, I can go further.
Unfortunately, I lost all my tokens, and as a result, I lost my residual income. I have a hard time forgetting the bad experience. Still, it was what it was, moving forward was hard but I have to do it, it took me two months to move but I learned to think when I'm betting so I can choose the best course of action.

Lesson learned:

Only play to have fun. Gambling is not a business where you can extract money or generate a reliable income. That might be possible for some people but the effort you need to spend to become one of those people is not worth the effort. Trust me, if are that much dedicated to something, you’ll be successful in that area as well and you’ll have that reliable cash income you were dreaming if you do that.

Since I accepted this my life became much easier and trouble-free. I did win fairly big wins in the past and they were affecting me like how drugs affect people. Addicting. Losses? They were annoying but they were also useful because everytime I lost a bet, I expected to win the next one. It is hard to break this loop but I did. You too can.

Feeling maxwin is like unparalleled joy because it's so exciting. But I know it's difficult to repeat because no one can repeat maxwin again.

I've experienced how it feels to get a high multiplier and become careless because I was too confident that I could win again, even though the reality was not like that. After that, defeat came again and became regret.

Ahrhhgg, now managing my bankroll is much more important to me.

I almost had a worst gambling experience on the casino spinning earlier this year, how it happened was that I wanted wager with just 2% from the total funds in my wallet but I mistakenly tapped up to 30% and while I wanted to reduce the wager % to my suit I unknowingly tapped 100% meaning I am wagering with the whole of the funds in my wallet.

Out of distress intending to cancel the game because I was not in a good mood that day leading to the unconscious taps on my phone screen, I mistakenly tapped on the "spin button" after earlier made a decision on 80 odds and at my realization I tried to cancel the game but since it has already been spinning I could not cancel and while it was spinning my soul left me because non of it ever happened according to my intention but it ended a victory on my side with a big win as I wagered higher amount with a higher odds.

That brought me the ever biggest wins in my history of gambling on the spin and I never gambled for the rest 2 days out of the mysterious winning experience.
I seriously can not forget that day in my gambling history.

My gambling loss story is not similar to yours. Mine I had already won but it wasn't up to the minimum withdrawable amount. I had like 5 bucks left for that do I decided to bet again the little I had one to meet up. Yup, you already know how it ended. My gambling win after I had hit several multipliers beyond my wildest imagination, withdrew my winnings and I logged out.

I've read the gambling stories shared so far, and most of us agree on the same harsh truth about gambling.
Of-course gambling can be a roller-coaster, and not knowing when to stop is a common trap. overconfidence turned your win into a loss. Your greed can blind you especially when you risk more than you can afford.
So, set a budget, stick to it, and don’t let a hot streak fool you into chasing more. Always know your exit point before you start. That's simple

Nobody will claim not to have lose a bet before in gambling, but how many of us actually moved on and play to gamble the more, without allowing for depression to got over us as we can't afford to miss out on opportunities we would have been rendered in winning a bet in gambling, so we can't do without having wins, losses and also learnt from these experiences at the cause of gambling.

Your story isn't different from the majority here after winning. It's about the lesson that we have learned from all of those mistakes that we've committed. When we're in profit, take your profits and never doubt yourself to cash out. As for my experience, they're not that much but if it's about cashing out, I'm not taking it for granted because that's the reason why I have gambled. I won't let it pass that I'll only miss the profits and make the house recover it back from me. Before they even recover it against me, I'll make sure that I've got already my part and share.

what about you? any wild stories or lessons you wanna share?

It's always the slots that keep testing my patience.

Most of the time I go with the bonus feature that gave me some decent wins which i am not gonna lie but at the same time I will be tempted to go hard one more after a win instead of taking away the whole chunk with me, and in that process I lose atleast half if it's my bad day before realizing shit my run ended with that win.

Don't be greedy like me, if you win big just cash it out with no hesitation.

I don't know if I will call this a mistake, yesterday I predicted about 6-7 games and fortunately 4 has entered remaining 2 and these 2 was very risky and even when I was making selection I looked it several times and I decided to play it. Since it was remaining only 2 the betting site was showing a cash out that was above my stake but about 7 times below the potential win and because this has happened to me several times and I decided to cash out the game only for me to check the game and found out that all the game has entered, I could not sleep last night because if I would have leave the game I know how much I would have made and so it was hunting me so would you guys call this a mistake or did i do the right thing?

I’ve experienced that kind of situation many times, even if not on the exact same type of game. It’s really the greed that gets us in trouble, and honestly, I think most gamblers are naturally greedy, a lot of us don’t have a clear plan or specific stop point when we’re gambling. we always tell ourselves we’ll stop once we win, but we don’t define how much is enough. So even when we’re already up, we’re not satisfied. We keep pushing for more until luck runs out and we lose everything.

That is certainly something that exists and will be experienced in this life, such as right and wrong, winning and losing, loss and gain, luck and misfortune, in whatever you do, including gambling, it has become the destiny of every human being.

I definitely had an extraordinary experience with the Gate Olympus slot, where the lightning was so intense it nearly struck me as I was observing the multipliers on each segment, starting from 20x, 50x, 100x, up to 500x, and the multipliers could no longer be contained because I hit the max win.
