$240..... that's the same night i gave up playing 1 pocket
$6000.......
I feel nitty
I lost 200 around 3-4 years ago when I was learning to play. I was getting the 6 out on a barbox playing some guy I had never saw before. I never stood a chance.....lol
A few weeks later I found out he had been playing Earl getting 8-7 in one pocket and it was pretty close so I definitely shouldn't have been playing this guy then.....If I see him again though I will gladly take the 6 out on a barbox now and I promise he won't like it.

$10,000 give or take a few hundred, in Vegas - I got my nose open all the way playing Blackjack. At the end I was playing $1,000 a hand.
$2700 over a three day period to the same guy. I'm still sick thinking about it. I had just bought a new cue and was stupid enough to gamble with it right away.

When I first read this I was only thinking about pool, which is pretty limited because I don't gamble that much. However, I have lost a couple of hundred in a night of gambling at pool.
However, I have probably lost up to $2,000 in a night gambling in Casinos.
Playing billiards... $110.00
And it wasnt really (lost), but threw away.
I was playing at a bar one time and the guy kept wanting double or nothing. Started at $5.00 in that game, but sadly, you eventually will LOSE one by freak luck.
Most I have lost at a casino was about $800.00... but have won $7850.00 playing craps, BJ and Caribbean Stud starting with a bankrool of $200.00.
That was a WILD night where no matter WHAT I did I couldnt lose.
Played 2-box BJ at $100.00 a box... split twice so I had 4 hands going, doubled them ALL down where the dealer had a jack showing.
My highest hand was a 17. She then showed a 6, drew a 7 and busted.
In craps I was throwing, hit two points, then threw a point of 5... threw twice, then tossed a $25.00 chip to the stickman and said 2-3 on the hop.
Boom... 30 to 1 payoff.
In Caribbean stud I was playing 200/400 ante/bet BLIND for 2 hours straight. Got a free room comp, tickets and dinner to their New Years even bash for doing that.
That win at the Iowa river boat casinos ironically (1994), led me to buy my Captain Hook Meucci that I still play with today.

More like $13,000
That's the way to make him feel better!

I never went off much on pool in a single night. Way back when the world still had square corners I was hunting Keith McCready when he was in town. Just as well I didn't find him, I had over two thousand hard earned dollars in my pocket and was ready to put every penny of it in action.
I probably had a six month losing streak when I started playing when I didn't win a half-dozen nights in that six months but the bets were small. Any time I have been down enough bug me playing pool I didn't point the truck towards home until I was in the black. At a guess I've honestly never went down over a hundred at the end of the night playing pool. I have driven a few hundred miles many a night to make that true though!
Playing the ponies, less than five hundred but not much less. That was the day I learned to separate entertainment money(gambling funds) and real money before stepping through the doors. Never lost over forty dollars at the track after that and actually have an overall winning record. I love to watch class but am a good dogmeat handicapper. These were late sixties to early eighties dollars so while the numbers were small they meant a little more then.

I`ve lost more betting on myself than backing someone.I recently lost $500 playing $100 a game 9ball.We played for a couple of hours.The most i`ve lost on betting myself in one night is $9,500.
I`ve played golf (on the course not table)for $500 a hole(it was a game that I knew was even)I don`t play cards,dice,bet on sports or go to casinos so I can`t loose anything there.
The most I`ve won staking someone in one night was $18,700.

Heh, shooting pool or casino gambling?
I was on a heater playing craps in Atlantic City one night, I was up about 16K in a few hours and figured it would never end... Started betting harder, lost $13k in about 40 minutes.
The only reason I didn't lose it all back is because I grabbed the chips off the rail to run in the bathroom to throw up...
Shooting pool? Most I lost in a night was $500 or so ... although one night I won a guys cue off of him and ended up losing it to someone else that same night. It was a nice cue but I didn't recognize the maker ... for all I know it was worth a mint. I still wish that I didn't lose that bad boy, would of loved to put up pictures and get it ID'd here.

More than anyone would believe and more than I evr want to remember!
Usually I don't play for more than $50 or $100 a set. If I was playing pool all the time and was in dead stroke all the time, I would definitely play for more money. I don't play that much - with work and family - I have to work hard to get in dead stroke and it's a lot of effort.
A few years ago, a road player was after me to bet more, so I agreed to play 9 ball 10 ahead for $500. It was the only way he would play me and I really wanted to play this guy. He would only play me on his table, in his room, with his cue ball - etc. Like a dummy I agree to all this but I really thought I could beat him no matter what. He practiced on that table for two weeks and got in dead stroke. I heard he was running 3 and 4 packs.
So I show up and I got 15 minutes on the table. We're playing with an unmarked cueball and it was really light. The rails on this table were loose and everything banked super short. We post the money and we play for about two hours back and forth, neither of us up more than 2 games. I increasingly realized this guy was better than I thought and it was a tough match.
Then he gets ahead and gets on the hill in about 1/2 hour - everything was going his way. So I'm down 9 games with him breaking. he says to me "I'll let you off for $250". I said "I thought you wanted to play pool". He said - "Let's make a deal - $250". I was scratching my head.
Well, I had brought a couple thousand so I planned on playing him another set at least , but it was too good of a deal to pass up. So I paid him the $250 minus $50 he owed me from a previous match.
To this day I wonder why he let me off the hook with only one game to go. Afterward he said "getting that last game can be impossible sometimes, and I didn't want to lose $500."
Go figure. Road players are strange animals and he never asked me to play again.
$250 is the most I've ever lost. I've won $600 before in an evening.
