In Vegas down 2700 for the week. I haven't hit one sports bet or cashed in any chips I bought in for at a table at any point. Putting 3 Grand on the Colts today to try and walk out of here a winner. Damn Sportsbook doesn't open for another 3 hours though. My luck I'll sleep through the alarm and wake up midway thru the first quarter and see the Colts up 35-0.

About $100.00 was about the most I ever lost. Again not much of a big better. I just stick mainly to slots and video poker both of which have some of the worst odds in the place.

Biggest loss in one night is around £1200, so roughly $1800. Have gone through around $5k over two weeks in Vegas a couple of times but that was total spending (not including flights and hotel) so not specifically all on gambling.

Lost $140 on slots and a Bruins/Canucks Stanley Cup game in Vegas a few years back. And even that modest sum was more a "When in Rome..." thing; I'm not the gambling type at all.

I've spent this much out here in strip clubs before if that's what you mean, haha. Didn't go to any this trip though so there's like no satisfaction here. Fighting to stay awake for the Sportsbook to open to bet the Colts cause I know if I fall asleep I'll miss kickoff. I don't even care if I wake up to watch the damn thing waking up and just seeing the final score works for me.

During like a week in Vegas, I ended up losing like 60 bucks I think. I don't really mind much since I figure you go in expecting to leave with none of what you put into the machine, and that you're paying for the thrill. Not really into gambling much, though, it's just sorta what you do if you go to Vegas, use some gimmicky slots for a laugh.

Roughly $50 on video poker. I expected as much, so it didn't damper my experience.

Couple hundred bucks in a poker game at work. I could technically say $1500, but I was up $3000 when that happened... Started with $20 in chips playing craps on the boat. Got it up to $3000, lost half, & quit. Was playing the same table with two buddies, & the three of us cleaned up!

Real life 0. In a video game (DOA Xtreme, in the casino), 700 K in half an hour. I kept trying to win it back.

$20 on a penny slot. I kept on doing minimum bet, so it was like a good two hours of entertainment.
One time I put in $20, and I won $25. Cashed out and never looked back

Typically $500 during previous Vegas trips. But I'm surrounded by Indian casinos and lost $100 here, $200 there. But I also have some four-figure wins on my track record.

I went to open round Texas Hold Em Poker game for 500 bucks once. Won about 4 grand by going all in (had two Kings). I was thinking of walking away after but I had a better hand then I had before (2 Aces) and decided to go all in and I lost it all. So I guess I lost 500 bucks but I could of walked away with 4 grand.
I learned the hard way from the often preached lesson "that it's easy to win money playing poker, but it's hard to keep it." I haven't played Casino poker since then.

During NFL season I bet 25 bucks a week on parlays.
I hit once this year and doubled my money for the season.
I gamble a lot, but I don't gamble heavy. That's the way to go.

I lose on lottery from time to time, but the only time I went to a casino I came out with more money than I had going in. Not a ton of money, mind you, but I could fill my gas tank.

I bet on pretty much every competitive Dota match held. Most I've lost is about 10 bucks, betting on a clear heavy favorite. My average bets are around 12 cents at a time.
