    What's your worst gambling story?
    Today i witnessed some sick shit. Playing golf with 2 guys that were playing for 10k per hole. You could press any time. We get to 18 tee and one guy is down 165k and wants to play 18 double or nothing if he can get a stroke on the hole. Guy says "you don't have 320k when you lose". Guy says he will put up his house as collateral. Dude is now homeless. Had to go home and tell his wife to pack up their shit. However, he did make out on the deal because his house is only worth 255k.

                thats too much pressure, the dude that was down 165k obviously sucks at golf and then he puts his house up thats too much pressure on 1 hole of golf

                        Four years ago I lost my entire matxhbook balance on live betting toward the end of first half NFL game. Took a team down by 4 at +3.5, all they had to do was kneel it. Instead fumbled, other team hits fg, loser.

                            had a buddy i let into my pinnacle account so he could play some baccarat back a few years ago...the balance was 10 dimes when he started. When i woke up, there was nothing left.

                            Got 1000 back in casino refunds, but he had to come up with a 10 dime check in a few days, which he did.

                            Never mentioned it again.

                                  4 years ago I won $17,000 playing "Wheel of Fortune" at Sportsbetting.com (STARTED WITH $50.00) I never played it before and it seemed I just couldn't lose...the more I played the more I won...happened in about 1 hour of time was all.

                                  I lost it all on NCAABB and NHL games within 2 days......was a killer for me. I bet small now and just play for fun...as Ozzy once said - "I just can't stand the pain"...............

                                          that means he lost by two strokes, wow he sucks

                                                Years back I won 6 of the first 7 legs of a football parlay I made for like $80 while half drunk the night before, and had 2 hours to hedge before the last game kicked off. Got in a car accident (friend was driving) on my way to the book (was living in Vegas). Couldn't get to a phone and the cop who initially thought misunderstood and thought I was the driver, wouldn't let me use my phone while I waited.

                                                Missed out on betting the opposite. I don't need to tell you how it ended.
