    What is the most money you've ever gambled in the bookies? Mine would be 20 euro needless to say the horse fell at the last fence needless to say I was as sick as a dog!

    €400


    Top set (me) versus a pair and flush draw (him) in the casino.

    The guy's flush came in and he scooped an €800 pot.

    €150 odd on one hand of poker during a fairly ridiculous cash game in which I started with €80, got up to €350 and left with nothing.

    not a big bet by any means but about a month ago i took advantage of one of paddy powers 'guaranteed tricasts' that they do during the day in the shops.
    the odds were 80/1 and i threw a fiver on it; it came off

    pure luck because i just picked the top 5 in the market and randomly selected 3 of those numbers to finish first second and third. and they did:)

    I think €100 in one sitting on a footyatch but over a weekend I think I spent €300 once. Lost the lot.

    Went to Vegas for 8 nights for my stag with more then enough to gamble,eat,drink and buy an iPad. Rang Mrs Ziedth to send over more money by the third night/fourt morning. She was not pleased. I love gambling but I'm terrible at it. Only throw €20 a week on it now.
