Today, I was in class, playing online poker and keeping up my winning record. I eventually got seated against a guy who beat me at every hand. I heard laughing behind me after I lost all my winnings. The guy behind me had just made an account, looked over my shoulder, and won all my money. FML

Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML

Today, after playing numerous games of poker against my friend, and him telling me that I'm the best poker player he's ever met, I went out and played for real money. I got totally destroyed, lost all of my money, and was laughed out of the building. FML

Today, after playing in an online casino, I won £200. Being pretty tight for cash at the moment I was pretty excited. I then tried to withdraw it to be told that I can't have a penny of it because I didn't register my card details first. FML

Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML

Today, I turned $50 into 25k, all off sports gambling, but then lost most of it before I could even take the money out. I'm now sitting on about $1500 to my name. FML

Honestly....this is a fake FML post. There is no online poker site that holds your money and waits for you to enter information. Even if they did they wouldn't steal your money. Epic fail!

Maybe you should put your money towards one of those "UPS" battery supply things then >_>

invest in a laptop. then it wouldn't have mattered that the power went out. the legality of online poker depends upon the state. it is illegal in Washington state, but my town is 8 miles from the Idaho border, where it is legal. loopholes are easy to find...

it's a scam. probly best u didn't give them ur info. no online casino lets u put in info after u play & collect. u have to put it in first In order to collect winnings, otherwise there is no way for them to get your money if u lose

Online poker doesn't work like that, you sign up before you play. Sounds like you dodged a scam trying to get your personal details!

Omg, 90% of the people who posted are a buch of lazy *****. Either you guys have a job you hate or you are extremely lazy. You don't need days off! Some people work/study hard because they like the challenges it brings or the big bucks you can get. I bet most of you are rednecks.
