Attend a gamblers anonymous meeting and you’ll meet a lot of people who have lost more than 100%
I strongly think that OP is trolling ITT, but if someone seriously thinks this is an argument for gambling, I recommend checking out some introductory stochastics concepts, starting with expectation values
Trolling? In a shitposting forum?
I would never.

Theoretically you can lose more than 100%. If you first win 2000% and then lose everything, you’ve technically lost 2100% of your starting capital.
Yes but you still only lost 100% of what you wagered.
The mind of a gambling addict is a sick sick mind. I'd like to think that if I came out 2000% richer, I would hold and walk away and be happy with that.
but gambling addicts come up with all these rationalizations like you mentioned. rationalizations that make them keep gambling No matter how much they've won or lost and they are never satisfied.
STARTING capital?!

Leg breaking was invented to handle the idiots who were in to their bookies for way more than 100%.
That's only if the gambling place doesn't rig the games...by the way, every gambling place has a business model that depends on their customers losing all their money.
Licensed casinos aren’t allowed to do that, that’s why they like to comp gamblers their drinks, including alcohol, instead. Makes people stay longer, lose their inhibition, and increases the chance that if they do win, they’ll keep playing until it’s all gone again.
Licensed casinos aren’t allowed to do that,
They aren't allowed to do a lot of the things their profits depend on.
