have you lost money in sports betting

I started down a real bad path when I was 18! My Grandpa took me to the track and made place a $2 bet on a horse race, and low and behold the horse was a long shot, and it won! I won about $800 and was hooked!!! I lost most of it that day, and slept in my pick up for the night and lost the rest the next day! I was out of cash, and got a quick paying job at the track for cash, and as soon as I would get money I would loose it on the horses!! After about 3 weeks of this My Grandpa came back to the track, grabbed me - kicked my butt and took me home! I learned a hard lesson with betting on horses and have not done it since!! Its very addicting when you win big, then fate will cause you loose everything!
