What is the shortest time it has taken to lose your entire BR?

I once lost my whole wad in 30 minutes.

Obviously you need to learn from the many pros here at THE RX.

Stick around, this is a great training ground for neophites.

fish,

most gamblers, if not all, have lost their entire bankroll at least once.

Maybe I don't understand what 'bankroll' means. I sorta thought that if you lost your whole bankroll that you wre done. Finished. No more. That's all she wrote. If you can just reload then wasn't that part of your bankroll?

bankroll is the most overrated term in the history of gambling.

Not everyone is a professional, and I would think most people have other sources of income then sports wagering...

Obviously anyone who loses their 'bankroll' in 30 minutes is not in it for the long haul...

But I would think most people have blown their wad (their balance at a given book) in one day before...

I have had many many days where I didn`t know what hit me,lol....Sailing along then outta nowhere lose my entire balance at a book...its all relative and subjective to what kind of player you are...

I lose my entire balance at a book about weekly.Certain books I'm not comfortable carrying a large balance with are dealt with thru frequent withdrawals. I can always re-up. I'd be in trouble if I lost my entire bankroll, then I'd have to sell something I didn't want to sell, or get a job.

Keeping bets at a modest percentage (1-2 %), and re-sizing should hopefully prevent losing entire roll.

I can't say I have ever lost all of my money betting. The bills and family comes first and they have always been taken care of.

Played at the old PlayBoy ATLANTIS CASINO in ATlantic City! Sat down took me bout an hour to get up 27,000$. Went to eat dinner, Card shark came over to my table doing tricks and I was getting drunk! Wekk my drunk ass went back to the same 100$ table and I lost the 27,000$ and my 5,000$ in a half hour! I must have tipped the dealer over 2000$ that night! Was betting a dime a hand and tipping a 100 chip at times!
