What is your worst non-monetary loss?

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....

 

My sanity.

 

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....

 

Mine is not amazing. Just brutally honest.

 

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.

 

I guess I would have to say i lose time. Ihave been sitting at my computer for 4 hours so far today. I could be cleaning, socializing, exercising but no... this is what I do. Im not really complaing though...

 

hey bro, I'd seriously consider GA if you're not already in it.

 

Probably just the mouse I broke after losing $1300 playing BJ switch at $25/$25.

 

I lost my time,but I am happy with it,for now.

 

My mind.

 

I do go.

But not as often as I should.

 

Nah, you haven't lost it.

You've just mislaid it.

 

is there a site where one can play these games for money?

 

My kids friends play these games, and let me tell you its not happening in my house
Besides the $$$ I am down time

 

Another alternative and free games, is Yahoo games, plenty of choice there, I love playing their pool, no money involved but its all for rating points, so it gets competitive and is a nice break from gambling.

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.

 

You win, lol. I'd rather lose my mind.
