but wait if he lost 31k at 100/200 that means he lost 120k at 25/50 5k at a time? is my math completely off? how the hell did he lose 24 straight buyins when up until that point he was grinding up so well?

a lot of these stories are not degen, it is little kids who are getting a boner that they managed to win 400 dollars and cash out and buy some computer games

NO ONE GIVES A ****. that is just poker.

Please learn what degeneriate gambler actually means before you post some gay story about how you got excited over you little pathetic poker win

GET OFF MY LAWN!

ehm.. i did notice when the 8k euro got to 5k,4k,2k then hey! im just triplin what i started with (same **** machine jackpot 6000,online casino). now i have to win it back right, but the machine never pays. u know how fast u can click spin 10euro pr click? pretty **** fast, lost 600$ every 15min day after(maxed at 2,5x deposit), so im done. the rent part is taken care of + some exstra living expenses so that worked out.

slots u play to loose, but im usually the one makin the big wins AND losses same day or the day after. lost 14k kr on that machine christmas eve 3yr ago just makin a run for some milk now thats sad! cant remember my excuse for takin 4h out 4 milk..shame on me.

I take no offense. im sry if that doesnt qualify as beeing a degen story.

don't be sorry, it certainly hit the degen-dong in my book. Now go undegen yourself..

Get your **** straight, that's not even true. I played nutsinho weeks ago at 100-200 hu. Sorry I can.

I made an intial deposit of one dollar but that was when dollar was worth more and so was good amount to start with played one two cents no limit holdem got it all in with ak versus aq q on river i cried stayed in room days on end learning books didnt see people didnt eat not much sleep but hay i redeposit a week later $50 (all money i have) and now it is another week later am on $100 at this rate i will have cash money enough doubling every week will buy a mansion in las vegas and then play the world series of poker with doyle and amaretto and matt damon and be on tv with all the highest stakes players in the world all i need to do is keep doubling my money the best quickest way to do this is to put your money into highest game possible because that way you can win more than if you play at lower buy in stakes money so im going to play at a $2/$4 no limit table for $90 not going to spend the whole $100 because i might be unlucky and i can still play with $10 so its ok but i am not going to lose as i make good decision at the this poker table

my one degen story.......

Me and my friends always gamble on everything.from who gets up[ earier in the morning without an alarm clock to the super bowl. when i was living in San Bernadino CA, we used to frequent an Indian casino byt he name of san Manuel. this was before the poker boom and all they really had were balckjack tables, and a 4 table "poker room" my friend is a Decent BJ Player, wins consistantly taking his Social security check and turning it into a few 2k a month. 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...

Pics or it didn't happen!!!!!!!!!

I saw some dissagreement about what should be in this thread.

My vote is every thing relating to true degen over the top gambling crazyness is in. If it is not a story, like that movie clip from Utube with Al Pacino, or just a medical description of a degen gambler, I say its in. The crazy stories are the best though. I would write my escapades of playing craps in Tahoe, but the $ amounts are so low compared to the good ones here, Ill just have to do something more insane than I ever have yet in the future to come.

Long live the Degen Stories Thread.

that's not degen , that's how to be a life-fish

A few years ago I once spent a month imputting 20 years of past winning lottery numbers into a spreadsheet so I could figure out a pattern and win the big money.

I still hate myself for this.

Haha, wow.

I lol'd. HARD.
