This just popped in my head.

What are the biggest wins and losses you've had gambling?

Anybody have cool or depressing stories?
 
I bet the exact score of a Raiders game last year and won 700-ish (don't remember the exact amount).

I went to the casino one night with 100$, got up to 400$ in craps, then managed to lose all of it in a hour.

Was that first one a house bet or like a contest or something?

Not sure what a house bet is, but it was just a bet were you put in the score and you got payed really high odds. I just had a feeling about it and did it. Got super lucky. I quit betting Football last year though because I'm not really that good at it. My forte is college basketball betting.

Ya I dunno what I meant by house bet. I just was figuring you didnt walk into a sports book and say "I think the raiders will score 24 points."
 
I played a $60 buy-in home game with 35 people, took first and won like $740 or something. I used to play the $13 w/rebuys touneys at the Sycuan casino which had 35 tables and chopped the final table a few times. The most I got there was around $550. Other than poker I don't really gamble. I never bet on sports, ever.
 
I think my biggest win was winning $450 in a poker tourney in Wendover.

My biggest loss was losing $450 in Wendover on a $5 slot machine doing max bet ($20/pull) while drinking my 48th Corona at 5 am.

Same day, for the slows out there.
 
I dont think I've ever lost more than a couple hundred bucks in a night. I'm kind of a weenie when it comes to gambling.
 
I put myself through school for one full year playing .50/1 on Bodog. I never had a losing week or anywhere close to it until I lost for a month straight. It made me lose my stuff so I quit after dropping about 2k. I have no interest in ever putting that kind of focus into a game but I do miss all that tax free cash.
