I had a friend talk about winning 20K at once (i don't know anything about gambling. But I think he said poker?), and when he went to cash out he asked what his... balance was (don't remember the wording, but winnings minus losses). They told him he almost broke even. Then he went on to say it was actually better because when you lose a lot they give you things like TVs, so really he came out ahead.
