    How Much Have YOU LOST Gambling in Your Life?
    Lifetime? Like me, you probably don't have a real good idea.

    Anyone winning Lifetime? Let's see how many liars we can corral on that question.

    I'll start and say I am down $100,000. That is an estimate, don't know for sure.

    Please reply intelligently.

              Hi, My name is 5mikedimes5.

              I'm currently an employee for 5dimes but I'm up about 2.6 million to the good.

              All 2.6 million of those dollars I've received via p2p by doing the max w/d of $10,000 per week thru moolah grahm and western onion

                        i bought a house for $400k and have stuck almost $100k into it, it's now worth $300k

                        so in the grand scheme of things if it's fun then who cares? if i can lose $200k on my house value without having any fun, then what's the difference if i lose a couple grand here and there betting on some games/casino/etc

                          Since about 12 for me. Same generation. Easily lifetime winner. Problem is I've blown (guessing) 200-300K on transportation, liquor, food, and other unmentionables. At one point in the mid 80's I was blowing circa $600 week on the aforementioned and still profitable. Lot of $$ for the average Joe back then.What would that be now 1800-2400 week. Makes me want to cry when I now have to get up to go to work. First real job circa 36 yrs old. I keep telling myself that when my day comes I can pass with no regrets. Life in the rear view mirror. BOL to you all!

                              I started by flipping silver dimes, playing odd and even. Also, pitching coins against the wall to see who could get the closest. There were a bunh of us. After I had cleared out all the buffalo head nickels, mercury dimes and silver quarters from my little collection, I started to use any money I could get my hands on. Next step was bowling for money, 'pot games', usually doubles 2 on 2. Would bow all nightl until the sun shined the next morning and usually went home exhausted with a nickel in my a$$. Also, played Pinball for money, actually one of the forms of gambling that I am probably up at. Got 5 ing trophies for Pinball contests, taller than the Vince Lombrdi trophy. And you know what, even though I'm down, I wouln't have missed it for the world. It's the best Dopamine rush I know of. We're all gonna die, so I say it. The nice thing is I WANT for NOTHING. I have ALL that I NEED.

                                  ugh

                                  If I knew the answer to this question, I'm sure I'd jump off the nearest bridge. If I had to guess it's in excess of 250k. Keeping in mind, I had one huge win too, I turned 5k into approx 80k at a craps table a few years back. Yup, I pretty much suck at gambling...

                                    Im probably up around 4k, but keep in mind im only 20 and have only been gambling for about 4 years.

                                    i cant imagine how much you guys bet if your down 300K. it scary for me to think that when i started i was betting 5$ a game and now im at 200$ a game. i do plan on stopping soon.

                                            Uggh ... hurts to say but probably over 100k in the past 15+ years online (bowmans tuned bet365) and going to Vegas heavily over the past 3 years.

                                            I chalk it up to extertainment expenses like Mike said above. Some people smoke, do drugs, go to movies, etc but I choose to gamble, got to sporting events and spend money on a nice car.

Lost every single bet on a Sunday then MNF. All straight bets like 10 probably. That was tough.
