Theoretically you can lose more than 100%. If you first win 2000% and then lose everything, you’ve technically lost 2100% of your starting capital.

Yes but you still only lost 100% of what you wagered.

The mind of a gambling addict is a sick sick mind. I’d like to think that if I came out 2000% richer, I would hold and walk away and be happy with that.
but gambling addicts come up with all these rationalizations like you mentioned. rationalizations that make them keep gambling No matter how much they’ve won or lost and they are never satisfied.

Well don’t be an addict. Jesus wouldn’t approve of that.

I’ve never gambled in my life. And never plan to.
