The Man Who Lost $204 Million On A Trip To Vegas

The guy who banned him from the casino instead of trying to get all the money he could out of him was a good person definitely better than what alot of casino owners would do

As someone who lost $5 dollars on a football bet back in march, i understand what this man felt

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate how Steve Wynn, a casino owner, banned Terrance from his casinos for his own good.

As someone who once bet $0.75 and lost it all at a casino I understand what this man went through.

This guy was definetely just 1% away from winning a gazillion dollars

He wasn't even a bad person. Just had an addiction that was fueled for far too long.

My dad has the same story. He didn't lose 204 million but he lost everything he earned which was close to 25 million dollars. He took his own life after losing everything. Stay away from gambling... You never end up well.. It's always a brutal and dark place for gamblers... My dad was up almost 14 million dollars before he lost it all. It doesn't matter how much you are up. You can lose everything in minutes. Human beings are just very compulsive animals. I was always angry at him for leaving us like this but I feel sorry for him in the end.. He worked extremely hard to retire when he was in his early 30s and then lost everything. RIP I guess. edit: I didn't know I would get this many likes wow.. Thank you everyone for your support but I am doing well now. I hope the best for everyone and please stay away from gambling.

Horrific story as an ex gambler myself. I lost around 10-15k playing roulette but then i'm not rich or wealthy. This guy seems like a genuine guy, gave to charity. He just started gambling due to boredom in retirement. The casinos took it all from him and nearly sent him to jail as well. So so sad. People like this and there will be MANY wealthy individuals LIKE him just need human connection. Imagine the good he could have done for a developing country. His money could have changed the lives of millions of people, generations.

Gambling addiction is no joke, and the casino abused him. They basically drugged and robbed him. He owned up to it in the end. Really feel for the guy

Most casinos just have "if you think you have a gambling addiction, call the hotline." Steve Wynn saw someone spending a ton of money at his casino, and instead of taking in the profits, he met with him and banned him to try to stop him from losing everything. Mad respect to him for that.

It’s brutal. I live in Vegas and the addiction is insane. I was always telling myself “I’d never get addicted” but you slowly get consumed. Be careful, have fun

Stay strong, Terry. I believe the goodness in your heart and the good and generous deeds you have done in the past will pull you through.

This such a sad story. The guy doesn’t even sound like a bad person, just someone who was extremely lonely with no real human connection.

This guy worked an honest job to get his fortune, retired early to go into philanthropy, got caught up in the gambling scene, abused by the casino's owner, and then got cancer. I just feel really bad for this guy, he didn't deserve any of the bad stuff and all of the good.

He looks like a good man who was looking for purpose in life but struggling to, I wish him the very best ❤

I'll never understand why someone who is already fabulously rich would have even the slightest interest in gambling.

I want to hear every personal story people had with this guy. He must've been legendary to the staff

Steve Wynn's father was also a compulsive gambler that left $350,000 in gambling debts when he died. He must've felt Terrance's situation on a personal level.

Can you keep adding the “uh” sound to the end of all your words? It sounds really awesome, I love it so much. Thanks

So Sorry to hear Terry had a bad gambling addiction.Terry was very generous to his employees.
