On a lesser note, I ran 6 SBR points up to 350 and gave them all back.
This is funny, I did something similar here. Mind telling me what you were playing to get the 6 all the way up there?
In response to your question, I've never done online casinos until the SBR one for points... it's WAY too dangerous for me to start with that.
At an actual casino I had a $2,800 swing in a couple of hours. Up $1,600 to down $1,200. That sucked!!

Close to $1000 on table games in one night, not too much for some, but not fun to do for anyone.

Blackjack is my weakness man, you get on a nice lil run, increase the bets then start getting pissed and losing focus when that dealer pulls 3 blackjacks in a row. You decrease your bet, you get blackjack

LOL, THAT'S the part that hurts the MOST! Not only dropping the coin, but losing in one fell swoop the dough that you GRINDED for for so long!!!!
That's always how it goes... you spend 7 or 8 hours at the casino building up a nice figure by grinding out at BJ or craps... then just drop it all in like 30 minutes.
Or you spend a month or so of smart capping (I just did this) to get your sports account up a grand or so... then you make two nights of terrible plays and lose it all.

I've lost maybe 5 k in one day playing let it ride. Now this is money I won either via casino or sports, not 5k I deposited. I've lost 60 some hands in a row. Very hit or miss software, DGS. Sometimes when it raines, it pours. Other times, you have to abstain or rough out the drought. I've won 15k twice on a royal, 6k on a royal, 9k on a straight flush, 5,400 on a straight flush and a lot of smaller straight flushes between $4,200- and $600.
I am in now way saying playing this is smart but sometimes it really could get you going with a nice bank roll.

I lost 9300 at a public library in roughly 7-8 hours straight. 100.00 max blackjack multiple hands. I couldn't even see straight. My eyes were blurred. My hands and wrists hurt.
I have won 10K plus at Carib in the casino so it was profit I lost but It HURT!!!!!!!! I slept 16-20 hours straight after that and just was depressed for at least 72 hours straight and turned my phone off. Vanished to the world for a week. Called in sick Monday and Tuesday. This happened on a Friday.

Burt, exactly how it was when I lost the big money. Played from 6pm til 5am on a Friday...lit up a cigarette and sat there for 2 minutes. Went to bed kept blinds closed and stayed in bed all day saturday. Was a mess, no shaving no going out no nothing! I had things taken care of with that cash and blew it all but 5k (they sent a payout that day)

I know the feeling. It really sucks. The worst is when you call off work to gamble and then lose all of your funds.

lost 50 bucks playing blackjack at bookmaker and have never played in an online casino ever since. I think they are rigged big time. I have had a couple bad sessions at indian casinos here in southern california. Just last week I went to a casino here in San Diego called Viejas. I went there with 100, and was up 400 bucks after an hour or so. Gave it all back. Took out another 100 bucks and lost that. So in about 3 hours, I went from being up 400, to being down 100, and then ended up walking out of the place down 200 bucks. Not a lot of money to most gamblers, but the fact that I was up 400 bucks and I gave it all back was what hurt the most.

I had my account at bookmaker sittin on 1000 even..
figured I`d play the slots and drop no more than 100
started off doing 75 cent spins on the dinosaur game
went on to 3 a spin on the touchdown fever game
just kept spinning expecting that over due big hit
the sounds of the chime when you win is addicting
sometimes i would close my eyes and when the bell rang i would open them and see how much i won
2 hours later I lost the whole k

About two years ago I had say $885 in my account. I wanted to round my account to $900 and ended up losing it all in 30 minutes. What a dope.
