If here once again about the highest & greatest wins is talked, then you should also talk about the worst losses.those may not be missing in your calculation namely. My highest loss so far took place at Leo Vegas, amounted to about 900.-€ and plunged me into a gambler crisis of faith.how it looks like with you - or should we rather turn back to the pretty winning pictures?

Had earlier also often high losses between 500-800 euros because I did not find the payout button or wanted even more. In the meantime, I no longer come with the wins so high that I could gamble away so much. Well greed eats brain. Know certainly many of you.

You can do both. Both are part of gambling.

Do losses mean own money or do also profits count which one gambles away again? And over what period of time do the biggest losses occur? On a day, a week, a month, a year?

So my highest loss, if you count gambled winnings also as losses were about 9,000€ in one day at Casumo, see here (from minute 17:30):



Otherwise my highest loss in one day was 2.000€ of my own money. That was really bitter. in 2015, however, I blew it all. I had a record profit of 25,000€ was thus well over 20,000€ in the plus. Two weeks later the profit was gone and at the end of the year I had 15,000€ in Debt to the tax office and the health insurance. In the 9 years I've been gambling I've lost about 100.000€. Maybe a little less. But 85.000€ were at least and maximum 100.000€.

250,- in one day-> after that I had myself blocked in several Online Casinos or set very small Deposit limits.
With the small deposit limits I currently get along well and the monthly losses are kept within limits for me.

I mean the total losses - everything else is just window dressing. Why is the money you won not your own money? You have it on the player account and can withdraw it at any time. These are things that I do not understand and never will. Of course, this is also your own money.

My highest loss was 2800 Euros in the gambling house in one day, which ironically was also my highest win
So far only the gambling house has eaten my money in such a brutal way. Online I am somehow more sensible. For some reason that I don't understand myself, I don't Deposit several 100 or 1000 euros there and gamble away...... In the game store, this was common practice

I play for more than 8 years and have approximate losses of 150000 to 250000 euros. You just do not count it, but that is the least with me. Of course 99.9% of it in the gambling house

Well, if I would include all the winnings that I have gambled away again, then the losses would be 3 times as high. Deposit money, win, gamble again, win something back, then gamble again, etc.

Well, eyewash not necessarily. It calms of course on the one hand also the own conscience. On the other hand, however, it is not my money. If you consider that in 90% of the cases it is most reasonable not to play at all, then you can only add the "own" money that you have lost to the losses. Because if I had never played, I would now have between 85,000€ and 100,000€ in the account, which corresponds to a small apartment. The profits that occur in between is rather turnover.

I am also more reasonable online (most of the time). In gaming arcades I do not play for ages (except maybe 3x a year times 50€ or so). The worst for me is in casinos. With some players it is however also the other way around. They are in gambling houses, casinos & Co. more reasonable, because they "feel" the money here. Personally, when I go to casinos, I withdraw much more money than I would ever deposit online in one go. I guess it's an individual thing.

Is there anyone who is not at least +/- 0, if not over the entire Zockerkarriere in the minus? I play now only the 3rd month and am with all deposits and withdrawals in total at 0. somehow it is not profitable so far...in the end always wins the OC, is clear. Nevertheless, I would be interested to know if you can also be in the plus after a long time?!

Sure that goes, but is rather a very rare exception.

In gaming arcades it is virtually impossible to be in the plus for a longer period of time. In addition the profit possibilities are too small in relation to the loss possibilities and also the payout ratio leads in gaming arcades (with 20 cent employment) to 5 times more long-term losses. In German casinos there are (in the casinos where I was Hamburg, Lindau, Stuttgart, Constance, Berlin) no large jackpots where you can win more than 100,000 €.

Basically, you can only win jackpots of several million or several hundred thousand euros in the long run. Or through absolutely exceptional wins, as was the case with Robin, see: https://www.gamblejoe.com/news/merkur-casino-verweigert-auszahlung/

But even 160,000€ are gone at some point if you keep playing. If you exaggerate it faster, if you continue to play normally slower.
