Default gambool

For somebody who makes 100k-500k per year at poker, how much do you think is 'normal' for said player to lose playing -EV games (ie blackjack, sportsbetting (which could be +EV but don't argue)

Second question, if you fit into the range, how much do you actually lose on average (per year)

this is pretty tough... like if i asked my family what they thought, theyd be like "under 1000!"... i answered 3k-5k, but im not even sure if thats right. i mean like when you say "normal," do you mean "common" or "acceptable"? ive probably lost between 5 and 10k doing -ev gambling, but i kinda feel like [censored] about it because that much money buys so much in the "real world." but how can i win it back betting $10/hand?!

I think average is easily 5-10k (shaundeeb covers for a few people).

I am 0.
