What's your funniest gambling story?

[Maslate]

My funniest story isn’t from losing, but from when I actually won. I remember I was drunk and got way too aggressive with betting, I ended up putting my full salary on one game (sports betting). That was the most nervous I’ve ever felt, not even thinking about what would happen if I lost. Luckily, I won the bet.

But here’s the catch, all my winnings went straight to alcohol that same day. The only good thing was I didn’t touch my actual salary, so I survived the next 15 days. If I had lost that money, that would’ve been a huge problem. Lesson learned… don’t bet drunk, or at least don’t celebrate drunk.

I had $10 deposited on slots, remember this. Then I come at home and I see this 2-3-year-old kid has opened my browser tab and clicks on the space button and is very happy, laughing. I immediately went to the PC and I see that this kid has opened my slots and every time he clicks on the space button, slots are spinned and it makes him very happy but my balance went down to zero.

My funny story isn't related to an event like yours, the orientation is still on the gameplay. I often made large deposits, even reaching $1,3K in single deposit. They often ended in nothing, I'm not lying.

But there was a time when I received a tip from one of the forum users, for around 15 - 18 (in dollar). Any idea how much I earned for that small amount? I made almost $1K. It's truly hilarious considering I often make large deposits, only to see them end up with nothing. Since then, I've never made large deposits for my gambling sessions again, LOL.

It happened to me a few years ago. My relatives visited my house and they brought their kid with us. We are very close to each other and visit each other very often, so nothing new here but one day, when they came, my mother asked me to go to the supermarket to bring bread, cola and some other stuff. I was playing slots during this moment on my PC and she was in a rush, so I minimised the browser and immediately went to the supermarket.

I have not such one a similar story because I am very careful and never use minimize button but only Windows logo + L to lock my screen. I would have laughed to such toddler draining my balance although my balance is always much higher than 10 dollars when I am playing slots. I remembered now a funny story but this is a long time ago, almost 20 years ago when I used to go to physical slot machines and my favorite place was Caesar Palace (not the LA one) and used to play jackpot slots. Before me a middle aged couple were playing a slot and they lost their salary there, right after they left I entered and won the "jackpot" a mere 4000 EUR at that time. I guess it was not funny for them but it looked a lot funny from my perspective.

[bitzizzix]

I have not had such kind of story like op shared with the kid. I try to keep kids away from what they don't need to know. As the risk didn't burn you because of the amount but sometimes it could be a disaster.

So mine was mistaking a team for another team and betting wrongly. I lost the bet while the team I wanted to bet won. I didn't feel good for the next 24 hours.

Well, I don't have any funny stories like the ones I mentioned at the beginning, because I keep my gambling a secret from my kids. I usually only play slots in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep, and only play a few dollars before bed.

But I do have a story that might not be so funny, but it does bring me luck. I was playing slots, and when my balance kept dropping, I tried pressing the slot button with my pet cat's paw once, but it didn't work. But the second time, I got lucky and got 3 skaters, which resulted in 20 free spins and a win that doubled my initial bet. And strangely enough, when I tried again a few times the next day, the luck brought by my pet cat's paw didn't work again.

The funny thing about gambling that I experienced is, when I bet on sports by doing careful analysis, the results are often disappointing, but if I just do it carelessly, the opposite is the result obtained. Also, if I do a parlay, what is actually that messes up is the small odds. For me, this is funny but also annoying.

[Cointxz]

I don’t know if I can consider this as funny but this is surely my most epic fail on my gambling history.

I’m playing blackjack using to hands while have 20(pair of 10) on one hand and the other is 11 in total. Due to my excitement I thought I already stand my first hand but instead I double down a 20 and hit 10 so it resulted to bust while my next card I hit an Ace when I double down again.

The dealer hand is soft 17 which is 6 and A while 6 is the shown card. It should be both hand wins for if I didn’t commit mistake in double down at 20. 

[kotajikikox]

Mine was not funny but which I still remember. I had $20 which I am using to spin, I have not won up to $3 and the games was very annoying. My mother called and we talked for like 10 minutes or more. Later I remember that I still have 2 spins left and the game has not closed, the next spin button I pressed after the call, I won over $220.

It’s not funny but it’s a delightful story. It is something that I would want to remember because I’d be quite proud. But I don’t think I have a lot of funny stories. I’d find it funny if I got lucky like someone else paid but gave the bet to mee and then won. That would be funny and happy.

In my case, for example, I once selected many games for my parlay. While I was watching the game, my relative showed up and started talking to me while I was watching. It turns out the sports betting site was open, and he mentioned the Barcelona game. I thought about including Barcelona in another parlay. I selected the teams and placed my bet. While I was talking to him, he told me that a certain Barcelona player wouldn't be playing.

At that moment, I rushed to cancel the bet, but because I didn't pay attention, I had two parlays because I was talking to him. I thought I only had one parlay and canceled the first one I saw. It turns out that at night, when I went to check the results of the game, I saw that I canceled the parlay I bet first, and to my dismay, I had won all the games. I kept thinking that if he hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have canceled that bet. To this day, whenever someone shows up while I'm choosing my teams for my parlay, I stop everything and wait for the person to leave before I can choose again.

Well, at least you made the kid very happy. He seems to be animated with the slots. It would hurt if it's like $100 or $1k, but since it's only $10, you can just let it go and let the kid have a smile on his face.

I've been sharing my funny gambling story with gamblers in a bar, claiming I have discovered a secret to winning at dice using the Martingale system. However, I was challenged and found out it’s a trap, and I was only fooling myself.

Every time I remember it, I can help but laugh at myself, even if it happened many years ago.

I'd you want to know how cool you are, try using large amount of money to gamble, I bet that's when you will know yourself better, if you are not sweating hard you are in your total angry mood, gambling is nobody's mate.

I don't have a funny story to share, I have always maintain small amount of money and one thing is for sure in gambling, you can't loose yourself if the amount you risk is very small, I mean the smaller the money the smaller your reaction or anger.

It's quit funny on it's own how gamblers believe that they are the next one to hit the jackpot, this believe is what push them to make stupid  decision, people have used money meant for school fees and even complete house rent for a whole year on gambling.

[crwth]

I have one story that I had with my friends. We were gambling together and betting on eSports, and we lost. So what we did was we had our remaining money and bet on the roulette. Then guess what happened? We got the win! It's a multiplier x36, IIRC, and it was so fun. The amusing part is how happy my friend is that he managed to do a handstand. It was a funny moment.

[GigaBit]

Even though the money was lost, the incident was quite funny. Because the little kids were playing the slot without having knowledge. If there was more money there, they might have lost it too. But the situation could have been the other way around. Because the little kids don't know what's happening to them, if they were lucky, they could have won big. This story should also be a lesson that if you keep betting, you shouldn't go somewhere else. If you have to go somewhere, it's better to close it completely. But sometimes we leave the computer screen without turning it off and go somewhere else. To avoid such situations, we should definitely take some precautions.

You find it funny because 2-3 years old kids made access to your computer, played games and blew your account? I don't think this is something for you to be funny about in the first place sighting them from afar. Atleast you should had think about the safety and orderliness of your personal files stored in the computer. I'm sure whatever they did there was out of their knowledge meaning they don't know what they were doing. Imagine fix they've formated your computer or accidentally sends out your documents to third parties online, I'm sure you'll become vulnerable. Also think about I'd you've got a huge amount in your casino wallet account, that's just how they'd had blew it all. After access whatever dramas they may have done there and you see your computer and data's safe, you should take a deep breath and not to find it funny. Hence, I'll advice you apply more concious ness and do well set your computer on security password.

I've not had a very funny experience in gambling but there was an experience that whenever I remember it I  always feel amused. It was my very first time to gamble and I was quite young then, I was very obsessed to win a football in scratch and win but unfortunately I ended up losing all my money. What amuses me most when I remember it was my feeling of total loss and confusion at that young age, I sometimes laugh at my feeling of hopelessness. It wasn't funny then but now it is, I think that experience helped to shape my gambling habit till today.

[Fiatless]

Such a funny story. If you tell these kids what they did when they become adults, they might not believe it. Unfortunately, you lost; maybe you would have bought some snacks for them if you had won. My own mistake was choosing the wrong team while placing bets. I chose a club with a similar name and luckily I won the bet. I would have lost the bet if I had chosen the right team.

I don't have such particular events in my gambling record but when it comes to card games, my mother is the most enthusiasts. All the members in my family except my mother are employed with salary and when we have to play against each other, she first asks money with every of us to build her bankroll. And it could be luck or her skills, she almost always wins and gives back our investment while keeping the winning money with her. This is a funny aspect of our family. But due to being far from home, I'm not able to play with her enough, I'm having a spring holiday soon and the idea of gambling with her lightens my mood.

Mine was the time i knew nothing about gambling and then played, with the hope that i will win the same way others are winning, but to my surprise, i lost the first attempt and from then, i was unable to continue gambling until i became more financially stable, which i also got all these as influence from a friend, then i realized that friends can do more to impact us, be it negatively or positively, we need to understand how things could get unpredictable with gambling and sometimes we may also be desperate for a win.

Your story is kinda unique, I don’t think I have heard it before and mine is very different from you. It was not actually a bet because I never placed my bet that day - I remember bragging to someone that the team that about to play can never lose that game, I even went as far as telling them that I’d stake my entire life savings on the game and I won’t be nervous about it because I was really confident about the game.

After the game, I received a call from the person whom I had bragged to, and the first word that came through the call was “poor man” meaning if I had staked as I told him I would have been poor by that time because the team I was so confident about lost and that conversation made it very funny. I think that’s my most funniest story.

[Juicyhome]

The day i used the last cash for the weekend to stake a bet and lost it, i and my brother stay hungry for the weekend. There was no food in the house for us to eat, the only money i had i lost in because i wanted to double the money, i almost cried, but we suffered for my bad habit, i quite betting after then, that was in 2013, i started betting again in 2023. This time with experience, i only stake with my spare cash, and if i do not have enough money i do not bet to avoid another story.

Everyone has their story, gambling habit has really cause pain and joy to every gamblers. That is why gambling should be personal, do not tell any one to gamble so they will not blame you for anything. If you are not strong minded person you will be depressed.

You were lucky that you only had $10 in your balance and you minimized the Slots page on your computer and went to the supermarket.
Imagine if you had $1,000 instead of $10, would you smile or be sad right now when you think about your past?
Some such mistakes happen in many cases, but there are some mistakes that cause much more damage and cause a person to regret them for the rest of their life.
