Any kind of gambling.
I once lost ~15k during a high-stakes poker tournament. Had another buy in and won it all back with a big plus (3rd place).
I rarely play for money, but when I do, I play hard like a sledgehammer to your ankles.
There’s a reason why none of my friends want to play poker with me, even if it’s just a fun game for like 10 €.
I learned from some of the best. I only run a fun game once a year on New Year’s Eve these days. Like, 5 € and you’re in for a fun hour or so.
OMG! We might have a winner. Well… for the question. That is a ton of money to lose.
The weird thing, though, is the fact that I keep my usual money and my poker bankroll money very separately.
The gambling money is for just that: Gambling fun. Even in case it’d ever run dry, I’d never touch my normal life bank account with a ten-feet-pole-stick.
Maybe that’s the secret behind ‘healthy’ gambling? Idk…
$7 when I bought a lottery ticket.
Say a hundred bucks? I sincerely hate losing money, so if I gamble, it’s always with a very limited amount of money, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Lost like $200 on my Son’s bday. He did quite well though!
How could you not know when your son’s bday is? And why would you bet on it?

Actual gambling (in actual Las Vegas): around $10.
Stock market: Considerably more. (But not recently) We were doing quite well there until we weren’t.
I have lost 10 million silver lions.
Never gambled with real money.
Does a few quid on 2p machines count as a loss if I won a rubber ducky?
Yes!
But I like the rubber ducky
Does the stock market qualify as gambling?
I say it does!
Proud to say I’ve never used a pokie machine, but I’ve lost money on things that could be labelled ‘gambling.’ I was doing quite well on the stockmarket, I had a bunch of shares that were just about to push me significantly into the green, but then trump shat all over it. I lost about $100 USD in the end, which isn’t too bad.
0$ the only time I’ve ever been in a casino is when I was on a road trip with my family, we stopped there there because we thought it might be a cool way of starting the road trip trying a machine or two, but they made a huge stink about my sister trying to use the bathroom without showing her ID despite the bathroom being literally two steps from the checkpoint station. The experience really put a damper on being there, so we decided just to leave without actually using any machines.
Like 8€
That’s just peanuts lol. Good for you.
$20 probably. Been over a decade since I played pokies.
Guessing by the kind of people who use lemmy, probably not from conventional casino or lottery, but stocks/crypto or, less likely, gacha game.
Lost some money from stock myself.
I guess around €50 for a poker tournament + re-buy. Not including drinks.
