Most You've lost in one night.

Relative.

I remember I backed a horse called Virgin Soldier in a handicap at Lingfield. He was on a hatrick and it seemed a sure thing at 1/3. I threw £100 on him which was all the money in the world to me back then...

and it lost! I can still feel it in the pit of my stomach.

Lost 600 euro once on online betting on golf.
When you consider my weekly college grant about 55 euro, it was an absolute fortune for me!
Now I had a good few weeks so I build that up from a small amount so it wasn't like I lost all my savings.
But never bet online after that.

That was 2004.
Since then I probably only step into a bookies to throw a tenner on the Grand National.
So like many others, that's my only bet of the year.

lost just over 3K .... blackjack

Pomme Tiepy at Cheltenham. €400. Fell at the last, the 4/1 seond in the market romped home.

600 in poker.

200 on horatio nelson (a lot for me on a horse). I wouldn't mind but I'd have left the race alone if I hadn't been drinking.

€1,600 on a tennis match. Any time I've gone that high on football I've won but it's very rare and the odds wouldn't be up to much.

€300 on Bohs vs St Pats a couple of months ago when Pats somehow turned in a 3-0 victory!!. Although it was winnings i could afford to lose.

Rocky Balboa 2

gordon strachan left celtic the same day sunderland said goodbye to Ricky Sbragia

€1000 at odds of 1/10 when home team went 2-0 up :rolleyes:

Lost 4k over a weekend. 1k playing online poker, 1.5k on Liverpool away to Southampton @ 8-13. Then proceeded to back the horses in various donk bets chasing losses. It was basically a credit card with a 4k limit I got on the Friday and it was maxed out by Monday. Lesson learnt though - never back Liverpool and do not chase losses. Everyone should bear this in mind.

Thankfully, I have mainly stuck by it and I havn't lost a 4-figure bet since (that could change though as I have backed Kerry for Sam this year @ 15-8).

bungler

saw a guy drop over 100k on roulette one night in a casino, never seen anything like it 50 year old guy dressed like a 20 year old just kept on throwing down maximum every spin.

most ive lost is 3k on the donkeys- 3 of us started off with 50e each and kept winning and put it all on the last race for a "sure fire winner" lol i think he's still running

The most I ever lost in one bet was €2000 on new Zealand to best south Africa in new Zealand last summer. It was the tri-nations and new Zealand had not lost to south Africa at home for 10 years, I was sick, won't forget it and have learned from it

gary nevillevil

lost 1000 euros on Barcelona to beat Getafe at the Camp Nou last season in la liga, Barcelona were on fire and Getafe i think had not one in 5 games.
the match ended 1-1 i was sick for 2 weeks...
... oh the joys of gambling

lester76

Lost 3k over the derby wkend at the curragh:o not had a bet since

Raskolnikov

Backed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to win the Australian Open in 2007 @ 999/1. He reached the final and went a set up against Novak Djokovic. At that point, I had the chance to trade out, and would have won €5,000 on each player. Instead I got greedy and let the bet ride. I didn't actually lose money (well, other than the €12 original bet), but I still felt sick to the pit of my stomach that I was so greedy.

If you think that's bad, a chap I know (professional gambler) lost €24,000 last season betting on Barcelona. They were 3-1 up with something like 20 minutes left, so he put his entire bank on Barcelona to win at 1/100. Needless to say, Villareal fought back and scored to equalize with the last kick of the game.

Im not saying you specifically but I think people who say that they have a bet on, say an accum and are one result off for a big win, and then wont cover themselves are clowns. I would much rather win half of something than all of nothing

I decided to remain quiet but it was fact.

Nalbandian v Murray @ Wimbledon 2005.Had originally bet on Nalbandian but then Murray went 2-0 up in sets so I put most of bank on Murray to get out of jail and of course Nalb came back and won 3-2.Think I lost circa 8k then.

I could be cruel and post a facepalm pix but won't. Those games are purely commerical beanos which Rafa is using to give the kids a run out.

2 years ago I lost around 2k over the week of Cheltenham, all my big bets at short prices lost... more than made up for it this year though
