Has anyone here cashed out a 401k to gamble, and lost it all?
Must be a sick feeling.

Slick, you are on a gambling forum. I am guessing most don't even know what a 401k is let alone have anything in it.

No but I've dropped adding into the 401k sometimes when cash ran low from gambling. Got to make ends meet when barreled in.

I remember back in the online poker days losing $2500 and having to stop contributions for 2 months.
It was that experience that made me realize I dumb I was for gambling over my head. Have never done it since then.

Blew an IRA on drugs and gambling. It was fun though and didn’t work for it anyway. Dad’s work down the drain.

Technically if you don’t get a loan at least once in your life and lose it gambling or something to do with gambling you’re not a made man

U should never do that.... The smarter thing is to just place bets on credit, whether it be plastic or the tab u have with your book. If you hit it big, good job! If u lose more than you have in cash, DO NOT take an early withdrawal on your 401k. Instead take out a 401k loan. Pay off your gambling debt, and the loan + interest will pay back into your 401k.
