i think the reason this thread is dying is cause everybodys down right now
or quit

i do miss the crazy stories but as shown in some earlier stories this life leads down a bad path -ev long term in life

idk if its too late to help anyone but if theres any teens or something on here my advice to you is to quit now while your ahead and do something else with your life
(just maybe i can save 1 future degen from goin down this dark path in life it will be worth it to me)

my degen lifestyle put a great void in my life and i wish i could turn back time
no amount of money can fill this emptiness

+1m. You lose the meaning of almost everything when you're a degen gambler.

Yeah. Seems like it's about time to let it die, the golden age of degen stories is long past. Warmdeck and pocketrockets have even shaped up

Here's a good one:

Priest gambles away $500,000 meant for refugees

Police have launched an investigation into a Chaldean Catholic priest from London, Ont., after church officials reported more than $500,000 slated for refugee sponsorship was lost to gambling.

Father Amer Saka, a priest working at the St. Joseph Chaldean Catholic Church in London, is under investigation after telling his bishop, Emanuel Shaleta, that funds intended to help new Canadians had instead vanished in vice, Shaleta said.

“He called me on the phone and . . . said he lost all the money. I said, ‘How?’ He said, ‘Gambling,’” Shaleta told the Star on Saturday, referring to a conversation he said took place Feb. 23.

N e way, one day i was sitting at a bar, and i decided to try and convince him to go with me up to the Casino drunk. we always said we wouldnt go drunk, but i wanted to go and play some "high Limit" $1 ante $2/4 Stud. so i told hm that i would stake him $400 to play BJ, and i would only take my $400 back if he won. after much debate,we decided to go....i left him a the Bj tables playing $5 max bet, and i went off to play poker...after about 3 hours or so i was busto, and i went to get him and collect my $400 hopefully. when i found him, he was surrounded at a $500 max bet table playing 3 hands and had run my $400 into around 25K..i also noticed he was drunk as ****, and was probably close to getting super sloppy and dumping the money back. so i talked to him and convinced him to stop for the night and we would come back tomorrow.

when we got up with each other he didnt want to go said he didnt feel like going back and that we should be happy that he won as much as he did, and he didnt want to jinx it by putting it all back into play and he just wanted to rest today. so i guit tripped him into going saying that it was beacuse of me he goall that and i wanted a chance to run up some large money too.... after a bit he went with me to shut me up. when we got back there was a 30/60 limit holdem game going and a 10/20 pot limit Holdem game. at the time i had only played Holdem a few times and was really bad TBH. but i was Stunned by the limits the were playing, they never had played anything this high anytime id ever been there. so after guilt tripping my freind into letting me borrow 10k,we parted ways saying we would meet back at the front desk around 12am.. i sat in the Limit game, and proceeded to my inital buyin of 2k into around 5K. around this time i started getting sick of playing limit holdem and wanted to get my gamble on. so i took th 13k and sat at a 200$ max bet BJ table and started to play, quickly dropping the 3k in a matter of 15 mins or so. frustrated that im apparently not going on a sick heater like my freind, i took the rest of the money and went to play the pot limit game. i pyedin that game for around 8 hours. durng which time i was up to 26K and all the way down to 4k. when i got back to even it was around 3am and the last 4 of us were all playing very very poorly, so i think to myself im gonna play 1 more then im done.

i played the hand, lost around $400 bucks and decided to quit. so i went stumbling into the game room and start playing some more Bj still twisted that i really wasnt up any money i wanted to give it a go. so i sat at another $200 max bet table and played. i played for an hour or so and was up 3k, then i realized that it was 5 in the morning and i hadnt heard from my freind at all. curious i asked a couple of the dealers if they saw him and none of them did.
i assumed that he went and passed out in the car then. when i got to the car he wasnt thier so i sat and waited for a bit

well it turns out that he went on another heater and ran his 10k up to around 40k, and took it in cash, and walked out to the car by himself around 4 am and was robbed and died on the way to the hospital. my greed caused him to keep playing run up cash and get shived in the lot...
Saddest plot twist ever

Thanks CK for starting the hashtag and bringing those classics to the front.

Degens gonna degen guys, as long as people gamble there will be compulsive gambling. As long as people are degens there will be great stories. If you are reading this thread you probably have one and should post it.

I degenned a bit on sports this month but it was online and I was sober so not v exciting.

Anyways #makedegenstoriesgreatagain

I'd say the downfall of the thread was the conflating of "degen" behavior with compulsive gambling. There's a lot of overlap, but the former makes for good stories while the latter just becomes depressing.

To use a comparison, if this were a thread for crazy drinking/partying stories, it would have started with somebody telling about the time they went out for a drink with friends and woke up in their underwear two days later in the back of a pornstar's limo, and eventually turned into people posting every day about how they came home from work last night, had a few beers, and watched Seinfeld reruns until they passed out.

I dropped out of college to gamble all day. At first i won thousands from baccarat. It kept me going. I had my aunts place to use to invite my friends over to play Mahjong gambling. We were playing that game all day inviting different people to come play. More so playing then gambling. We would go to the casino every now and then to lose. Then the losing trend started, i would stop loss at $300 and i lost like 10 times in a row. That + spending habits, i was drying up. I remember i had to attend a friends wedding party and u had to pay $50 in an envelope. It was my last $50. I had no more money. Good thing i got hired at a call center the week after or i would have to beg my parents for money which didnt look good on my part. ... dropped out of college, living at home and borrowing money from parents? Hope i never get back to the "its my
Last $50" ever again.

I wish they would make house games illegal soon enough. I'd be whiling to pay my share of taxes to the government to do so before I have kids.

Blackjack, roulette, pai gow, baccarat, all those devil's games. It's not a moral or religious statement. I've seen people lose their souls at the turn of one card. But worst, I've seen (as well as lived through) skipping classes, study hours, social events and even job interviews to gamble. At times I would calculate that even if I go gamble and win the maximum humanly possible with a total horse show up my ass, it would still be -EV to skip said social event or study time or sleep time before an important day. What would I do? Still go gamble. Unreal. Absolutely disgusted at myself.

Just cause you can't control your behavior doesn't mean we all can't. Your what's wrong with society today. EAD

Let's face it gambling for what is a significant amount say a entire 2 week paycheck in one night is degenerate. But I also get that this thread needs real stories and I'll be honest I'm not really degen besides gambling and even with that I've become a mid roller not a high bettor compared to a lot. I was sweating bullets yesterday. This is how or when it started with 500 won 200 roulette played some poker +60 then lost 120 in a big pot and went to gamble downstairs. Lost all 600 on blackjack. Took 480 out first 20 I hit a 800 777. Then I'm like yea I'm good chill time but I don't i keep playing and back and forth. Start playing $10 slot n just lost every spin. Kept thinking walk away and couldn't. Fed it 600 and only 4 left. Start getting cherry and double twice. Then I start betting $20 a spin with $400 bank left knowing what this one arm bandit gonna kick my ass. Well I hit for $1200 nice. I was up $400 and lost most of my profit. I used my points for 6 packs of Marlboro ate a comped shrimp dinner and played and lost a tournament. Well I'm unbanned from all the good casinos everywhere in my area in 1 month so I decided to save and resist coming all the way back here which I never will once unbanned from Atlantic all PA casinos including parx and Foxwoods I will ban here so I don't come back. This is Delaware park I banned it and drove home with 12 $100 bills. I didn't like that casino and is very far but I am tempted by the comps so I quit them. Trying to get into poker tournament only like 2 times a month but also to try say 100-200 games instead of slots and if I lose I'm still good.

Easily the scariest story in this thread.

Also, the thread isn't being helped by self-pity wallows.

Telling us about literally every bet you place every time you go to the casino and how you use your comp points isn't a real story.

I think that the people complaining about bad posters without delivering any degen stories themselves are way worse than those who they are critisizing...
