Can you sum up how much you've lost in gambling and betting?

[Roman]

Gambling and betting is a game of luck. Gamblers lose more money than they win. Betting companies make it so because if gamblers win more, they will be out of business. If you have been gambling and betting for a long time, how much have you lost so far in your betting and gambling?

yes, I hardly ever gamble.

I did as a kid, and when my grandfather was alive we'd bet on the races, but below £10.. not much at all

I stopped gambling when I lost more than $100 worth of BTC back in 2017 when the price per coin was $1700. This is one of my biggest regrets in my life. If I had saved those BTC and never gambled, I would have made a lot of money by this time. These days, I do not gamble, I only play among friends and family for fun

I started doing this when I wasn't even 18 years old and I registered accounts for my parents and they didn't even know anything about it. I also used their funds that they gave me for school. I thought I could earn and give them more but over many years I lost more than 250 dollars and that was a lot and after that I completely stopped doing it and never will

I stared online gambling when I was hired by a casino forum. I was required to do casino reviews and thus I ended up signing up a lot of casinos and then playing casino games. Even though I lost money in gambling, I was also offered payment by the site I was working for and I did not end up with a loss.

So far so good, I have never lost anything in gambling before cause I don't gamble. The fear of loosing is one of the major reasons as to why I have always avoided gambling from the very beginning.

Luckily, I never got into it. I practice strict financial discipline, keep record of every penny I spend. So it is easier to have control over my expenses.

Fortunately, I have not lost cumulatively up to $10 in gambling. And that is because I stopped it the moment I started losing money. The very day I lost money meant for office supplies to gambling and almost lost my job was the day I stopped gambling and that was barely 3 weeks after I had started gambling.

I have been really on the losing side of gambling. I really can't quantify how much I have lost in gambling but it is up to $150 in two years of active gambling.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Not very much as I was never much of a gambler as I hate to lose at anything.

 

[Teegold]

If I do the calculation, I can rightly day that the amount I lost in betting is more than what I have gained. That is what made me to quit altogether, before I become homeless.

After gambling and betting for year, the total amount I've lost is substantial. There were some moderate wins here and there, but the losses piled up over time. Chasing losses led me down an unhealthy spiral that impacted my finances and relationships. I've now accepted that I have an addictive issue with gambling that needs to be addressed through self-exclusion, counseling, and lifestyle changes.
