About a month ago, I had the unpleasant experience of having my worst losing streak of all-time. I was playing craps and lost 21 Don't Pass bets in a row. (This occurred over the span of a week) It was ridiculous.

My previous 'record' was losing 15 sports bets in a row, which occurred about a dozen years ago. Anyone here beaten this streak? ;)


That's not that bad...Technically, I've seen 16 "losers" in a row on the crap table....I was playing the DP and I literally hit craps/7-out 16 times in a row (no points made, nor come-out 7/11's thrown!) I turned my last $30 back into the original $900.

The difference between 16 and 21 is roughly a factor of 32 though. A streak of 16+ don't pass is already pushing the bounds of human likelihood, a streak of 16+ don't pass (pushes count) is about 1 in 106k comeout rolls on average. For 21+ don't pass, its about 1 in 3.18M.

Not consecutive...you just had horrible timing...
You lost 5x in a row, so you left...
When you came back, you lost 6x in a row, so you left...
Came back again to lose ANOTHER 5x in a row, so, again, you left...
Thinking you'd give it one more shot...the dealers belted out "passssss line WINNNNA" another 5x....

Very easy...hell, I could do that ad naseum...
Start with $5 on the DP and keep doubling for each loss...you'll eventually get the dealers to have a little mercy and send you on your way, back at even...

I guess I'm just the unluckiest SOB alive...but I've never seen a crap table that went 9 straight pass line winners without a crap number or a 7-out..
5 or 6 straight wins, sure..but get up past that...casinos would be closing doors....

Google longest crap roll. Grandma over the 4 hour mark. She didn't really know what she was doing. Talk about positive variance. Like hitting the Powerball this Wed. for 450 million.

I made a thread a few months ago here about a horrific losing streak at blackjack:


Walked in, sat down at a BJ table and lost the first 10 hands....
got up, switched tables and lost the first 10 hands...
got up, switched tables and lost the first 10 hands...

If you hard charted the dealers first, like John Patrick suggested, things would have been different. LOL

Curtis was his middle name. AKA Johnny Wadd. He was despicable the last few years of his life. He was tried for the murder of 4 people. He beat the rap, but not his drug addiction. He continued to make porn film even when he knew he had AIDS.

I've seen 16+ pass line points missed many times. That's main points missed; not counting any natural comeout winners or crap losers.

Dan Mahowny experienced a hellish losing streak at the end of Owning Mahowny.

He lost millions, then went prison. It was not a good day for the Iceman.

That didn't really happen, it was just in the movie. If you read the book, he didn't go on such an insane winning-then-losing-it-all-back streak like he did at the end of the film. That said, it did make for good cinema.

The first time I went to a casino was on my honeymoon when I was 25 years old. I am now 61. I have never had a winning year gambling in casinos. How's that for a losing streak?

That is not necessarily a big deal, depending on how you bet. In particular, if you press on each winning bet, almost all your sessions will be losers.

The movie is Owning Mahowny
What a movie and based on a true story

I picked this thread because this movie was mentioned

As I recall, Alan resigned, AoC self-nuked when the board was sold. I could be wrong.

Sounds correct to me. I believe Alan hit a couple $100k Royals lately, maybe he ended his annual losing streak. Looks like I finally will have a winning this year at CET since 2007.

I think I had no winners in 30 BJ hands one-day.
Was early 2000s, so I've forgotten exactly. Think there was 1 push in 30 hands, with no winners.

At time I was trying a "if I lose first three hands, change tables" strategy, and I tried 10 tables at multiple casinos (3 hands each).
I was betting $5, so didn't lose much.

Good reason not to try Martingale systems.

I guess that is better than 10 hands at 3 tables. 30 in a row seems common. Next thing I will hear is that 18 yo's happened.
