I believe it.
About 10 years ago, on the spur of the moment, I took 200k to the Mirage in Vegas as front money (I had no credit or CCs) fully prepared to blow it all. I'd always liked gambling but never really gambled very much dollar wise and wanted a fling. There is nothing quite like the thrill of seeing large amounts in play so to the craps tables I went. In short order I had thousands at play and sometimes even ten. Lots of fun. After a bit 2 lovely women came over taking spots on both sides of the table around me. They played a bit and we had a little banter. They asked what I did, I told them engineering. They then indicated they were in the construction biz, especially erecting things (that's close to an exact quote). Now as attractive as they were I didn't go to Vegas for sex. I was there for the gambling. At some point they left and were replaced by this dude festooned with rhinestones. Now that it was really clear the casino hosts were just trying to be helpful, and not wanting to waste his time, I just made it clear I was there to gamble.
I lost about 70k over two days and got it out of my system not to be repeated. At least anywhere near that scale.
I have reestablished credit over the last couple years
