I'd play some $25 blackjack at casino and throw $20 in a slot once in a while but nothing more than that. Since Covid I just went off the rails and was chasing big losses. Several times I would lose $50,000 and then turn $1,000 into $50,000 in the same day only to lose it back again.
I think rock-bottom came when at one point I had bet $10,000 behind 4 other players in one hand of live dealer. $50,000 total on one damn hand of Blackjack. Just pure insanity.
I usually prefer virtual to live dealer because it's just so much faster. You get into the zone and I can't even tell you how many balances I've blown in 15 minutes time. Crazy to think you can lose $90,000 in minutes online.
