What's the most cash you've won in one day?

Not in a tournament but gambling.

For me it was $1,000 playing one pocket
We started at $20 a game and he kept doubling it

This will turn into a dick measuring contest. But I have to share mine because it was a glorious day!

In the 'Hey Days' of the 'Rack,' this wouldn't even be a public/social discussion.

BTW, is this restricted to 'cue games' gambling?

$1200 playing 3 ball. Started a big 3 ball game on a Sunday, playing for quarters. A group of 4 or 5 sitting together wanted to join and play with their own $5 side pot. When I said sure, they then invited me to join their side pot. That led to me getting about 250 ahead. Must have been a work crew as one of them had a bank envelope and was digging out big bills. Sponsored the whole table when the game evolved to them against me for 5. Then his crew bailed leaving me to play the boss for 50.

Was this streamed? I love bb8b and would like to watch a long race like that. Especially with those stakes.

I'm not that strict lol. I just want to hear some good stories really.

If not related to pool … here goes. Lost 1/2 of everything owned ala divorce. Most I won in 1 day was $500 on a dollar bet playing a slot in Vegas.

I won an online tournament for $4k back before the government decided Americans can't play poker online.

Pool . . . do people gamble money on pool games?

 

[measureman]

It was about 1963 and I walked into the pool room at 10 A.M. with a couple bucks in my pocket.
After side bets and matching up for 14 hours I walked out at midnight with $75.
A pretty good day for a 16 year old in that time frame.

 

[tim913]

I remember as a youngster I made $2400 before midnight and then popped his loud mouthed buddy for $1700 a few hours later. So $4100 in about 6 hours but technically 2 different days .

I won't go into details, but here's a short excerpt from my book. "The Concise Book of Position Play."

Secrets of a 3 Cushion Billiard Hustler​

I have to confess I’ve probably won more money from 1968-2000 than anyone in the US playing 3 cushion billiards. One of my first victims was a celebrity, Milton Berle, $30.00 which he promptly stiffed me, his excuse, “hey kid, you think I would have taken your money”, I was 19.

Though out my career I’ve played for $2.00 a game up to $90,000.00 a game and I’m here to tell you there’s no difference. It all depends on your life style and circumstances. If you’re broke, the $2.00 game looks like a million. If you’re flush, the $90,000.00 feels like a deuce. It’s all relative.

Pool . . . do people gamble money on pool games?

I had $16k in one day during the boom. Black Monday was a crappy day $35k gone. In the end i received a check for $.71 the government called it back taxes. I cashed out for $250k+ before the feds got involved.

 

[George the Greek]

My biggest day was $1K as far as wins go and my biggest loss was $300. Regular win days were $50 to $200 depending on my regular customers.

Back in the late 1970s I won $300 against a guy playing eight ball at $20 a game. When he pulled up empty he put his Rolex up against what he had lost for one last race to 5. He lost and I got the watch. I really didn't know anything about Rolexes back then, but it was gold so I knew it was worth something. It didn't fit my lifestyle (sneakers, jeans and t-shirts) so I wound up selling it to a wholesale jeweler in one of the downtown Chicago high rises for $1200 bucks. I'm sure it was worth a lot more, (day-date President) so it was probably a bigger score for the jeweler than for me, but I paid 4 months rent on my apartment with it.

I beat a guy out of his tax refund at a bar one night to the tune of about 2 grand back in the 90's playing 8-ball. He got angry when he realized he was out of gambling money.....I made a quick exit while his own pals held him back. Other than that, I play small stakes amongst friends....my skill level is nowhere good enough to play big....but the guy at the bar didn't take much skill to beat.
