Well, I live in Vegas, so I have some bad gambling stories I could share. The worst I know personally, meaning I actually know the person who did it, was a guy that hit a small progressive jackpot on a dollar machine in the Riviera Casino a few years back for a little over $12,000 and within 6 hours left the very same casino $3k in the hole. I have seen/heard of people take a couple of hundred bucks to the blackjack table, run it into the 5 figures and leave broke more times than I can count.

Next time, Go to a bridge, then throw your money into the water...it's a LOT more fun. Seriously though, I feel your pain...sorry dude.
 
The thing is I'd never gamble more then I could afford to lose, I just get sick at the thought of giving away my money.

I've seen people gamble away their rent money, car payment, you name it. A guy I don't associate with any more gambled away a customer's start check for a paint job he was supposed to do. I have literally had a friend go to the gas station with $1007 in his pocket intending to fill up his car with gas. After blowing the first $1000, instead of using the last $7 to put a couple gallons in the tank, he gambled that too. You see some crazy shit out here.

I think online marketers have more of a connection with their cash. Building your wealth one commission at a time seems to do that, which is why I hate casino's as well.
