Most money you've lost/won in a bet?

Question

The most I've lost was $300 in a single bet, but I lost another $300 through a series of bets before that. 600 bucks down the drain in an hour....

The most I've won was $150 in a single, and about $300 in an hour through a series. This was all really cool to me because I'm not used to that kind of money, but it was a valuable lesson at 14.

Answer 1

one night i had 2 dollars in my poker account at sportsbetting.com

by the end of the night it was at 200

the next day it got to be 1700

i had an ace high flush and lost to a full house that i didnt see and lost like 600

then i cried and lost the rest.

oh well, it started with 2...i said i was gonna stop at 1000 but then i wanted to get to 3k to buy a new car

once i won a 50 dollar bugsy tourneyment (poker) and got 1200 dollars mailed to me a month later.  i bought a massage chair, glad i cashed out and didnt play because thats the trick.

Answer 2

I won $50 in Reno playing the nickel slots.  High roller!

Answer 3

My city (Wilkes-Barre) recently built the very first casino in Pennsylvania (  http://www.poconodowns.com/ ), and I went for my first time today.

As it was my first time there, the casino gave me a player's card with $10 on it.  Within 10 minutes of playing the slot machines, I won $200, and then I won another $70, and then another $30.  Remember, I had yet to play any of my own money.

So, figuring it was the casino's money anyway, but wanting to go home with something, I figured I'd keep playing until I got down to $250.  Well, I got greedy, and wound up coming home with $230.  I should have left when I had the $300, but didn't.

Answer 6

I'm not sure that I'm in the neighborhood you're looking at......but I've probably lost as much as $800 in a single hand of poker.  This was, of course, after I had won a lot more.  I'm not sure if you'd consider an online poker tournament a bet.....but I played in a $55 tournament (that I got into from a $15 satellite) and won just shy of $12,000.  That would be my biggest win to date.  

Answer 7

I bet $1000 on the Giants to beat the Patriots, straight up, no spread. I, luckily won that. I also won $200 that the Giants would beat them by 3 or more points, which they did!

$1200 in one game. That really doesn't make up for all of the money I've lost in past games, like World Series, World Cup Soccer, Stanley Cup etc etc. I usually lose all of my $, but for once I bet on the underdog and WON.

Answer 8

I made a thousand Dollar bet in a game of Roulette. I ended up wining $7,000. So, I figured I'd bet $5000 of that and win $35,000 extra. Instead I won nothing.  I later lost the 2000 remaining dollars at Blackjack and Poker tables. It was the first and last time I ever went to a casino
