Answer by Mrs. BonBon
John Daly claims to have lost millions you can check for his reported gambling binges –

A guy name Archie Karas? in the 90s supposedly turned 10k into over 20 Million playing Craps at the Horseshoe casino in downtown Vegas – but he eventually LOST it ALL

Theres many other stories – some lose less money but their entire fortune – others lose Millions but it doesnt matter because its only a small amount compared to their total net worth!

I am sure there are higher ones, but the best one I know of is $ 4,000,000.00 lost in a poker game, in 1949! That is a lot of money now, and was a huge fortune back then, equal to over 35 Million Dollars in today’s money.

It was lost by Nick The Greek to Johnny Moss, here is the the link to the story: https://www.thedoverpro.com/trivia-moss.htm
