Today, while on my first day off in 2 years, I decided to play online poker. I won over $3,000. While filling out my information to get the money the power went out. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a really good day out just to come home right before the electricity company closed for the day, to find out my payment hadn’t gone through and they'd turned it off. FML
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, I knew my wife and kid wouldn't be home until later, and I was excited to play video games and relax. The second I turned my computer on, the power went out. It came back on as my wife was pulling into the driveway. 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, I was doing an online live exam with the camera on when the power suddenly went out. 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, I finished working a 70 hour work week. I'm a lineman for the electric company, and worked extended hours all week getting people's lights back on after a wind storm. When I got home, my power was out. FML
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Today, the power went out to my house a second time after coming on a few days ago due to a series of severe storms that rolled through the area. The first knockout took less than 12 hours. This one? A little over three days in a heat wave. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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!

I call completly fake as all you really need to do is log in again. plus if your playing for money shouldn't your account already have your bank details to send it to?

There is no way that the money would just disappear just because the power went out. And FYI to some of the posts, Poker is Not gambling. It is a game of skill, the best players always win in the long run

thank you SO much for pointing out that poker is not gambling, but in fact a game of skill. it's refreshing to see when there are so many idiots dogging on this post because he was "gambling". oh...and even though it's been pointed out....this fml is either fake or this guy is an idiot and doesn't know how to work his poker account.

wtf? It's kind of implied that he DID create an account to play poker... are you that ignorant? I don't see how ALL the details of what steps he took to playing poker would be significant to this FML. Even though this isn't a FML cause the money is STILL THERE.

this post is so dumb, of all the online sites ive used not a single one allows you to play without first creating account, especially if your playing the real money tables

Why would he include that he registered on the site? It's implied that he had to in order to play... It's unnecessary information of the otherwise rather stupid and fake FML (fake, because the money isn't actually gone)

Does anyone ever think that maybe sometimes people make up FMLs just to see how many people call their bluff? I'm gonna post my next reason why I can't go to work and then see how many people comment on why my reason is fake. That way, I can perfect my excuse. Online gambling sucks on your day off. Go read a book.

Why do people feel they have to make up stories to get on this site?? That is so obviously fake. First day off in 2 years? Unlikely. Poker site that makes you register afterwards? Impossible.

You could not be anymore full of crap. First and most of all, who cares if your power went out, you still have the money in your bank roll on your account. I bet when your power goes out when your checking your bank account online you freak out too...moron. Second off, yeah I bet you played for one whole day and won $3,000. Unless you deposited $500 and played 5/10 tables which I am sure you did not. You are just 10 types of full of crap.
