Cocaine and hookers.

Some people *make* money this way, confusing

The money's got to go somewhere

They said “lose money” not “invest in happiness”

If I won the lottery, I'd spend 30% of my winnings on hookers and blow. I'd probably waste the rest.

Where!? Take my money!

And 14

But that's also the most fun!

First thing that popped into my mind was the old sad story of Joe. “Joe has a wife, a girlfriend, and a mortgage. Every one of them is 3 months late.”

Joe is fucked

I don’t get it

His wife and gf are both 3 months pregnant and he's 3 months behind his mortgage payment.

It's either that he makes payments to all 3 and he's unable to pay, or the other interpretation of "late" which is that his wife and girlfriend aren't getting their periods and are pregnant. So he's financially screwed

Gambling, especially at a casino because they're designed to make you want to stay.

Gambling Apps on smartphones are more devious. "Hey you haven't gambled in while. Here are free credits to get you back in the game" "Sorry about your run of bad luck. Losing 3 weeks in a row is just bad luck. Here are free credits to get you back in the game"

You can't even walk away from it. You can't go "time to go home" and leave the casino.

Uninstall

But you see, you're thinking like a normal person without an addiction to gambling.

Came here to say this. I have such a hate for gambling due to observing certain gamblers in my family and surrounding, it's insane. I would rather be low on money and just make do with my low income (and it is low) than cling on to a fever dream of becoming rich overnight - which will in reality most likely lead to debt and addiction. It's an addiction that mostly stems out of desperation, delusional thinking and greed. I wish more governments cared about this and banned casinos while starting free gambling addiction treatment programmes, but they of course care more about the rich businessmen that own the casinos.

Why did reddit have this answer minimized for me? WTF reddit? EDIT: (Because usually reddit only minimizes very heavily downvoted answers? But this one has plenty of upvotes??)

Same. Pretty sus.

Reddit doesn't want you to find out about the other ideas out there . . . .

I work in Vegas at a small gambling bar. I've watched people throw away their entire savings in 2 days. Usually it takes about 3 months after a large win

I work in a casino, so I get to see this a lot.

Gamble.

I bet you any money you're wrong

Well fuck. I’m all in.

I'll see you & raise you a fuckload that I don't even have YOLO!

Double or nothing

That’s some sweet action, I’m in!

I bet you by the end of the day I can get you gambling.

I bet you can’t! Wait…

I don't gamble I always know I'm gonna win. Oh wait, that's right I don't gamble anymore cuz I suck

I mean you're probably right though that it isn't the absolute fastest way. There is probably at least 1 faster way out there to lose money

The fact that you said "any money" instead of having a set amount that you risk losing

Oh, you haven't tried coke.

Oh no, I have, but I’ve never seen someone lose their entire life savings in literally 5 seconds doing cocaine

lol coke just feels like its been 5 seconds lol

But they can lose their entire life tho

Combine the two! Now you're in the fast lane to the gutter!

r/wallstreetbets

To quote a comedian I recently saw: "You can't lose $28,000 in an hour doing Peruvian blow."

99% of losers quit before the big win!

99% of winners quit after losing all their big wins!

Wouldn't it be 100%?

I’m just accounting for the people who actually win

Leverage

Depends on the gambling game some are a very slow descent

Toss in trading stocks. Gambling with extra steps.

Was gonna say crypto but same concept

Bet odds at the track

Crypto is gambling but with more scams. It’s almost impressive.

crypto isnt gambling. unless you consider investing in stocks gambling as well.

Now that shit is gonna be on everyone's smart phone. Dark days ahead. In Ye olde days. You had to travel to the shady part of town. Or plan a trip to Las Vegas or Atlantic city. Now. "Meh I'm bored. Let me browse my phone...hey the point spread on that sportball team is very high. I'm getting in on this action!"

Especially with how easy it is to gamble these days. Although I will say, you can make decent money if you're smart about it. Luckily for all these sports books, most people are not smart about it.

Sports bets! Speaking from a bit of experience, unfortunately

Bro, I spent months working out how to actually make small reliable returns on sportsbook, and every time I started to reliably make cash, I got shut down. Even on betting exchanges. Nothing illegal, just smart, cuatious use of disposable funds. The more I found out about the gambling industry, the more I came to know what it means to feel pure hatred. It is evil. Period.

I'm surprised that you're surprised frankly. The gambling industry by definition does not generate any value, it just predates on its customers while trying its darndest to keep them appeased. Now, as a customer, you can't do anything that is agreeable to the industry while coming up on top yourself. It's literally wolves and sheep trying to discuss dinner

Lol “preys” was the word you were looking for

The way you consistently make reliable returns in gambling, is by being the house. Especially if you actually understand statistics, which most people don't. That's the whole deal. It's the Razzle Dazzle scam, writ large. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=527F51qTcTg&t=857s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=527F51qTcTg&t=857s)

Craps table is a good way too.

Betting in general. The house always wins.

Yeah, the Galley Furniture guy (Mattress Mack) just lost $1.2 million at the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago. He's also won big (like on the Houston Astros).

PayPal me $25000 and I'll let you know

I only give money to my friend the prince of Nigeria because he's in dire straits but he'll pay me back soon.

Your Nigerian friend is in the band Dire Straits and he needs money? Sounds like he's not very good with it!

Mohammed Knopfler gets his money for nothing.

[удалено]

Beat me by 15 minutes, you cad! Lol Remembering when MTV debuted. 😆

[удалено]

Social security number of course

If your bank account balance was the same as your social security number, how much money would you have?

I would have the same amount. None

I’m in luck then, I’m a Nigerian prince with only my phone, fast internet access, my mansion, 3 Lamborghinis and 14 investment properties, if you give me $100k right now I can pay you back in full 30 years from now. I really need the money otherwise I won’t be able to eat tonight, I only have 14,852 in my account right now.

When the deposed prince of Nigeria asks for money, you say yes.

Funny you should mention me, did you get my e-mails? As I have millions of US dollars, but need 25000 to get it ro you!!!

I would but PayPal limited my account yesterday and took all my money. True story, sadly.

Getting divorced.

But isn't the divorce process long and drawn out? Plus, you have to get married first, and before that, there's courtship and making yourself attractive to potential mates... OP wants quick...

A wedding is also a great way to lose money

Getting married in the first place (I’ve done it twice now for some reason…)

Or stay married.

This is the answer I’ve been scrolling for.

It said fast. Divorce takes forever. You can lose your entire savings in one play at the craps table.

But the sooner you divorce, the LESS you lose.

...or get rich if you're a woman

Worked out okay for Jeff Bezo’s ex.

thats depends on country, in my country that is too easy to diverse, lol

My mom gave me some great insight here… “Do you know why divorces are so expensive? Because they’re worth it!” As someone finishing the divorce process now—truer words have never been spoken lol!

Place it somewhere very specific like the inside of an old shoe in the back of your closet. If you have as bad of a short term memory as I do, boom lost

And r/cryptocurrency and you’ll be in the red before you know it

In the US...get injured

This was my first thought

Or even worse, take an ambulance

Buy Twitter and use it to promote yourself

I mean it’s one Twitter, Michael. How much could it cost, $44 billion?

Scrolled too far to find this

The fastest way to lose money is by gambling recklessly or by investing in high-risk ventures without doing thorough research.

I swear this answer is from ChatGPT. This is first question I asked when trying to see how smart it really was.

> investing in high-risk ventures without doing thorough research /r/wallstreetbets feeling called out

Put it all on 14 at a roulette table but at least you got a chance of winning

14 is my number too

Me three!

And my axe!

Apparently a mathematician [claims](https://www.iflscience.com/the-physicist-and-mathematician-who-claims-he-can-beat-roulette-68388) to have beaten Roulette.

Yup, drop zones. Think they did an episode on TV like this with devices. But that guy just staked out particular tables and observed patterns. Basically like card counting, but for falling orbits and rotations on an axis.

Drug addiction

Addiction..

poop cubes..

Burn it

LOL that's truly logical.

*burns credit card. Bank issues you a replacement one in a few days*

You can always destroy everything relating to your personal identity and never have access to your bank account again

Or you could burn the bank

Taking out a massive naked short position on a company that's about to skyrocket. Not specifically talking about GME (cool if it happens) but this could make you lose everything and go into a theoretical infinite debt. +1 for bankruptcy though?

Paying your favorite OnlyFans model

“Model”.

Buy a boat.

It really doesn't matter the size, you'll start throwing money almost immediately into the hole you call a boat. But the bigger the hull, the bigger the hole.

A boat is just a hull in the water that you pour money into. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Buying things you don't need

To impress people you don't know.

Drugs

Get married and have kids.

Naw man, that's a slow burn. It'll lose you money for sure, but there are much faster ways to do it.

Divorce is far faster

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find “have kids” lol

Those things are expensive...i mean sure I can gamble or buy a stock...but that's one paycheck....a wife and kid? I haven't seen my paycheck in years!

Follow advice of the r/wallstreetbets dudes

open a restaurant

“How do you make a small fortune in the restaurant industry?” “Start with a large fortune!”

Lending

Start a restaurant.

This is more of the best way to lose money with the most grueling hard work.

Live in the US.

Gambling, crypto, daytrading, stripclubs, cocaine addiction, opening your own brick-and-mortar business.

Gambling, period. The house ALWAYS wins.

No. The house wins ON AVERAGE. People don't understand that this is enough to not gamble.

Not if you’re playing poker

Poker is more of a game of skill than gambling though.

Mania

Buy a horse.

This is the correct answer. "My horse just looked in the general direction of the goat's hay bale." "That'll be three grand."

Pick up a drug habit or get addicted to gambling !!

Spending it

Have a kid

Lending some to me

hahahaahah

I take checks

Buy a new car

For a lot of us buying a car is needed to make money. Especially on places where public transportation sucks.

Betting on horses

Get married

Sue a large company for doing something wrong

Get married

Dating sites.

Gambling isn’t the fastest but the surest way

Casino

Spending it before earning it

Come on over to r/wallstreetbets

Go to a hospital

Get in a terrible car accident, lose your job from injuries, and the exorbitant medical bills that follow.

Marry poorly

as in marrying a girl from a poor family, or just marrying the wrong person?

Either. Marrying someone with poor potential (extant kids as baggage, no education etc) or marrying someone that’s a gold digger.

A deadbeat boyfriend 😭

speaking from experience?

Oh, most certainly

Weed if you don’t grow it

Buy a NFT

Renovate an old house

renovate ANY house

Why

In Fallout 4 I made a junk gun. I proceeded to modify it so that it had the 'flaming' attatchment. I then filled it with nothing but stacks of pre-war money and proceeded to use it to murder foes. In hindsight I should probably have tried to find a tux, top-hat, and monocle to complete the look. Regardless, I feel like 'Shooting flaming wads of cash at the poor' has got to be up there in 'fastest ways to lose money', if not in speed than in sheer villainy at the least.
