I lost $500 betting on Holly Holm so I am feeling pretty down. Whats the most you have lost?

Also, Harry Kakavas, who made his fortune selling real estate on Australia’s Gold Coast, is considered one of the biggest high rollers in the world. In five and a half hours, he lost $164 million, after betting $300,000 per hand.Harry Kakavas’ legal team states that he has a serious gambling addiction, and that casinos around the world are taking advantage of his “special disability”. His lawyer stated “What the evidence demonstrates…is that this was a man who did not and could not control his urge to gamble…”

I've lost ~15k in a night a few times, and I'm not rich. Waking up the next morning not a good feeling.

Should have been 22,000. But....good old ESB. My first year of betting. I turned 300 into 30,000 betting hockey. Then got convinced into betting basketball. Wanted the bet to be 22,000. Would have lost the 22,000. Woke up next morning and called. My balance was about 27,000. They marked the bet as 2,200. Those were the days.
