Any kind of gambling.
40€
It was a poker tournament with friends, 10€ buy-in.
I got drunk and bought in another 3 times, then lost it again from making dumb drunk bets.I never gamble with serious money cause I know how it would end. I’m susceptible to addictions.
About $50, which is all I was willing to spend that night after my gambling parents dragged me to a casino. Then as I was leaving my father gave me $200 to stay and keep gambling. I stuck around long enough to satisfy him, walked out with $200, so profit $150.
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.
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.
$20 probably. Been over a decade since I played pokies.
I guess around €50 for a poker tournament + re-buy. Not including drinks.

Probably the $50 or so I spent on TF2 keys eons ago
$7 when I bought a lottery ticket.
Does a few quid on 2p machines count as a loss if I won a rubber ducky?
Yes!
But I like the rubber ducky
then no
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 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…
That’s definitely the way to do it.
I got a lottery ticket and won. I traded it in for two new tickets and lost. Oh well… -$6.
Does my 401k count?
Why, how much did you lose with it? How did you do it?
Was mainly making a cynical joke. That said, my 401k probably does represent the largest gain or loss I’ve had in a week or month; probably even a day, given how wildly the markets can sometimes fluctuate.
Sure, but daily changes in account value are not money lost. Sry for being too serious but there’s something about characterizing responsible financial planning as gambling that annoys me.
Zero because gambling is for idiots.
