Message: [QUOTE="soonerdawg, post: 485958, member: 16053"] interesting thread.... let's see if i can come up with something here to guage exactly how much i have lost since november 2004.... in november 2004 deposited $600 at Paradise, went broke there in april 05 with no cashouts, mainly playing 5/10 Limit while learning the game. ok, so in about 5 months i lost my initial deposit of $600. started playing at full tilt in april 05 because of their %100 bonus. however, due to poor bankroll management and trying to play with the big guys, i lost big. can't remember how much i lost there, but an estimate would be $3,000 from april through june 05. plus, i never claimed much bonus from them because of their toght policy of acquiring so many points and the fact that i was losing my deposits too fast to really build any points. ok, so far down $3,600 in about 6 months. royal vegas would be my next stop, roughly around june 05. can't really remember how much i went through there, but i do know that it was the first place i cashed out. i remember cashing out $600, and a couple hundred more later on, then they disabled my account because there was a problem with my personal information. i got mad and quit playing there. it's safe to say i pretty much broke even there. so still down $3,600. the next stop was doyle's room, where i switched from playing mainly limit to NL. again, due to poor bankroll management, i went through about $1500 on that site toward the end of 05. all right, now we're down $5,100. i discovered bodog in november 05. made an initial deposit of $500, lost it all on a single bet of football, and have never looked back. also played on poker stars, making the max deposits of $600 on a number of occasions while depositing $2,000 at a time on bodog. so in 05 i lost about $5,000. 2006 wasn't much better. fianally, around june of 06, i was forced to make smaller deposits of $400, then $200..... you get the idea. a conservative estimate for money lost in 2006 would be $20,000, minus a few withdrawals that i made. so, in a lttle over 2 years i have lost about $25,000, but that also includes casino and sportsbook wagering. the biggest problem? playing outside my bankroll, and playing during times of boredom and drunkenness. getting bore with poker and hitting the blackjack tables for 500 a pop. betting way too much on sports. so yeah, back on topic, i have lost about $25,000 in 2 years....
