What is your worst non monetary-loss while gambling directly or indirectly? i.e lost your house because of gambling debts, did you loss your car in a foolish bet, girlfriend left because you blew 10k at the casino, bet your dog on the toss of a coin....

I nearly lost my little flat about 2 years ago. I was 4 months behind on the mortgage, and I hadn't paid a bill in months.
Also, I cannot seem to hold a relationship that well, as gambling seems to take a priority all the time. I was with a girl that I was crazy over for 5 years and one day she walked out and never came back. That was 8 years ago.
Things haven't really changed that much, since.
The sad thing is, if I had the option of a good night out with my mates, or put a couple of hundred quid in Loaded....

First of all, I must say the 2 replies to this thread,just before mine were amazing and I really expect this thread to turn out to be very interesting !
I mostly play poker, and I have had many sessions when I had been sitting in front of my PC for hours without getting ANY decent hand to get in the pot. It was so frustrating and made me feel I had thrown some of my precious free time down the drain.
Whenever I decide to play blackjack, I also have some sessions when I can't seem to get a single $ from the dealer. Especially when I have something like J-8 and the dealer's first card is 10, and then he gets 3-3-3, I feel like breaking my monitor!!!
So, I suppose my precious free time and my patience is the two most valuable things I 've lost while gambling....

My health. When I was in my twenties, I played mahjong overnight at least 3 times a week and in my thirties I either went to the gambling tables in Macau or the cruise ships again every other day and still be fit for work. Now though I am still in relatively good health I cant play mahjong for more than 4 hours each session and I only visit the tables once or twice a month. It's really tiresome.

Nah, you haven't lost it.
You've just mislaid it.
A good alternative to gambling, if you want to stay at your PC is a good multi-player game like Quake4, Counter Strike etc or the new breed of global game like

Lol. Well Project Entropia uses real money, and you can win, but I hear it's hard
I had some fantastic nights on "Quake2" and "UnReal Tournament" in team games. Some of the best entertainment and online socialising I ever got involved in - for next to nothing too

No offense but I had to sleep with an awful skank after loosing a poker game. One of those got shitfaced new they were horrible uglies but thought they looked good through drunken eyes and committed, started playing cards sobering up and realising we were in trouble so made a side bet with my pal and lost. It was horrible but I never welch on a bet.
