Today, I placed $20 in a slot machine at a casino and in a matter of 5 minutes lost it all. My sister then sat at the same machine, put her $20 in and quadrupled her money. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I lent my sister $1000 because she and her husband were in some debt. They used the money to go gambling in Vegas and won a major jackpot. They won't even give me a cut. FML
Today, I went to the casino and put $500 into a game and lost it all. I tried another $100 and won it all back, plus some. Instead of walking out ahead, I kept trying to hit bigger and ended up losing all my rent money. Rent is due and now I can’t pay it. FML
Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML
Today, I let my dad put my dollar in the slot machine for me because I'm not old enough to gamble. I won $200 but he kept it because he "put the dollar in the slot machine." FML
Today, I was at a mini arcade and accidentally put a hundred dollar bill through the quarter machine. FML
Today, I went to a casino with $300 to spend and somehow walked out with $21K. When I told my wife, she sighed and moaned about how annoying taxes will be, and how I should have pushed my luck further. The house always wins, even when it loses. 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
Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML
Today, my girlfriend pawned in her mother's engagement ring so she could gamble at the pokies. FML
Today, I found out my mother-in-law sold a precious family heirloom and gambled away the money. FML

Uhhhh... that's what happens when you gamble, you lose your money. I've no problem with gambling, but if you don't accept that you will lose money then you're going to cause yourself harm.

Well it's called gambling for a reason.

YDI, OP. Gambling is for two types of people. Ones with more money than sense and ones that enjoy losing.

That's why it's called "gambling" and not "winning"

I mean, that's how gambling works for the majority of people. You lose and others win a lot.

You played a small amount of money in what is literally the lowest stakes form of gambling, and lost. Someone else had a modest win. Why was this published again?

When I gamble, I consider it money already spent. I decide how much to spend, buy the chips, and gamble until I lose it all. That way I have fun and it doesn't really matter if I win or lose. The house always wins in the end. No use getting upset about it.
