The Question is quiet simple one guys, What were your biggest wins/losses while you were gambling, Or if you have an incredible recovery story do share it, The Biggest amount i have lost is around $150, I don't have any recovery stories. never been there. The biggest win for me was around $500 approx.

My biggest win was around  $600 I won a whole bitcoin from a bitcoin sportsbook  and cashed it out right away no second thoughts of gambling it again. Biggest loss I experienced was 0.5 bitcoin where I started from 0.02 btc and went up to that amount and then lost it all in the end.  Good thing that the prices back then were low so it didn't hurt that much for me.

Biggest win was around 3 btc from just 0.0025 btc deposit. I was really lucky at that time as I was doing all in after each 3 reds. I know that crazy but that's how I am :)

The most I have won was $50 the amount I lost was over $100. These are the biggest loses and wins I have had.
Over all I'm down $100 or so. I'm not much if a gambler. Just on occasion.

One of my greatest experience is when I'm playing the arcade last year, it was the spinball game ang I think I've lost almost in a 25 times run but still got no luck and that's about a 10 dollars worth of tokens but when I have the last 3 tokens I've hit a straight line and go bloom and that's a lot of coins then I've exchanged it to the counter.

Last year's NBA game, I've lost almost 1000$ in a series but I didn't think that the cavaliers will have a comback in the series . I've won almost 2k dollars there and that's one of my most unforgettable moment in gambling.

Nice!, Sorry to hear about your loss, But that is incredible, From 0.02 to 0.5 BTC, That's some luck mate, Any way greed gets to best of us.. Best of Luck for the Future...

YOLO man! That's some incredible wining.. Your biggest loss was? mind sharing it with the community?

Sorry to hear about that mate, I think its just not for you.

since directbet closed i don't too much gamble and my biggest win was approximately 0.1 btc from my basic capital amount 0.01 btc and it was happened while i playing dice but very unfortunate that i was never repeat it again and i don't have any recover stories too because if i'm lost then usually i spend all of my money and leave gamble

Not my best but Ive been on a good run in the last 24 hrs. Started off with 10 mBTC and made it into 205 mBTC in 24 hrs. Always feels great when you get most of the over 2x bets right.
 Loads of educated gambles which paid off handsomely. https://i.imgur.com/bdAlv2a.png

My biggest loss in playing gambling in my entire life is it i lost lots of bitcoin maybe around 1 bitcoin me and my friend joined froce to gambling and we had the problem coz we can't go through the struggle of which one to follow we have different mindset i don't want to try this kind of strategy but i almost recover my losses after chasing it my self.

$100 for some people is not a small amount. I'm also not a regular gambler over a couple of years from cricket betting on directbet site I made over 2+ BTC, but one time I lost around 0.4BTC in a single bet on a dice game (that time Bitcoin price was around 300+). Overall I'm in loss from a dice game, but I'm not much worried about it because I always play dice just for fun.

I have not incredible story about gambling, but still i have a story in gambling. I will not discuss about my lose. Actually, i know that every gambler have lost story, then it is normal. If we want incredible story than sure we discuss about our winning money. I have win always little bit and in my little bit i win most of time. But recently i have gain money from gambling, near about $300. It is my winning money in a year from only play to gambling.

When i was newbie in gambling, then i lost everyday, because i did greedy.
Then i learned how to play gambling games, and how to win in betting.
Yes, later on i won, but not enough money i have won from gambling, but my lose is more than my winning money.
And i have lost in gambling 0.2 btc and i have won in gambling, i guess 0.1 btc.

I'm pretty sure a bit of a gambler who has a good recovery experience in gambling because it rarely to happens and if you ask me about it. Yes I've experienced it all and the best recovery experience i ever feel is when my balance was only $ 2 but can make a withdrawal of $ 200 whereas i started gambling with only a deposit of about $ 50. It is the best memories I have never forgotten.

Not bad, it happens to all of us mate, When we get on a losing streak, Often we end up with empty hands. Yes Directbet is indeed being missed.

Nice going mate, Indeed Gamble Smart not hard. If the person really knows the ins and outs of a sport, Its rather a investment than gambling. Keep up the good work.

---

It is true, $100 is quiet alot in developing countries, Poverty line people usually live on a monthly wage of around $200, 2+ BTC is a nice winning amount, Dice is the most unpredictive game, It has made people won insane amounts and lose insane amounts in matter of seconds. My biggest loss was on indeed a dice game.

---

Wow, This is incredible, from $2 to $200, That's a 100x Up, and 4x the return, Not Bad. Were you betting on sports or dice likes games?

My biggest loss was when we bet for the nails. That was a nightmarish night. When I lost, my opponent cut off my nail, and it hurt so much. That was my biggest nightmare ever. I will never bet for my parts of the body. It is sick. And as for the recoveries, I always recover what I lost. I could not recover my nail. I always recover money.

I did 0.03 to over 1BTC on Bitbook when it was still operational. I made 11 or 12 consecutive all in winning bets on various sports. It was an incredible run but I didn't keep any logs lol. I don't care if you believe me or not. I know it was true  ;D
Losses are not so interesting  8)

My biggest loss happened in Directbet site cricket betting I lost around 0.04 BTC, first time I bet multiple bets in a single game before starting that match. But my bad luck I won only 1 bet. And the same thing happened in Men's hockey world cup. I choose 4 teams to win a world cup before starting the event. One of my picks entered final, but unfortunately, they lost in the final game.

Wow that's new, seriously never thought people would gamble their body parts. It must be painful as hell. I hope you can get some treatment for that. As for recoveries you got your bankroll back that's good enough. Mind sharing your biggest win?

---

Wow that's quite a return you got there. Betting on sports the most safest option IMO if you Truly understand the sport you are gambling on. BTW you don't have to show any proofs, your word is good enough.

---

Ouch! That must have hurt you! I never place multiple bets on a single match. 1 bet does the trick for me. Anyway best of luck for the future.

If I remember correctly, biggest win was $800 from a roulette bet on a single number.

The biggest win on my gambling history is on dice site,it might not be big but i can consider it as big for me its about 0.5 btc but sadly it was being lost back again on the house even more lets say 0.7 because i decided up to add funds to recover those loss which is really a bad decision instead of recovering it , i do lose even more.

Bought in for 365 to a poker tournament, cashed 18th out of 1442 23 hours later for 4.2k .... good times, but even better run good! Invested it all into coin.

My biggest win is in slots in bitvest but it is only a mistake because i setup my bot incorrectly that the bot multiply 10x every time it lose so when i about to stop the bot because i am losing very fast in a low chance it got 1 win and i won 0.5 BTC that time. I immediately withdrawed 0.4 and played the 0.1 so my biggest lose in that site is 0.1 BTC :)

Wow you're damn lucky man!
Maybe that was your unforgettable day in your life.
Oh I wish I will experience that too but I think gambling is not my thing and I always lose.
My biggest lose is 0.2btc and I stopped gamble that time.  :'(

Unfortunately you may not come across here any recovery stories as most of the time those recovery attempts leads to further losses. Even if there will be in lesser number, probably they cannot have dealt with big money, I am sure.

The bankroll amount and wins/losses are not the big thing for the gamblers who are just enjoying gambling from faucet earning.

I believe most of the people here are not professional gamblers as they are just getting into gambling for the reason of their having some bitcoin or they are having the option to start gambling for free of cost. Hence there could not be any significant information could be collected here for any behavioral study purposes imho.

my biggest winning on gambling when i put all in my bitcoin on a dice game and i instant win that's why i earn almost 1 bitcoin on that round that's my luckiest and biggest winnings on bitcoin in terms of losses ? i lose on a satoshi mines where i try 24 mines then boom i lost all my bitcoin ithink it is .4 btc inever played that game again after that.

I also one time own around 0.38 BTC because of wrong setting in a dice game. I realized this mistake after 6 consecutive losses and immediately wanted stop but before pressing a stop button got one win and it happened when Bitcoin prices were around 2500 range. But my biggest loss was around 0.8 BTC in few minutes when Bitcoin prices were around 320$.

Well it is gambling wins and losses are counted here. And also recoveries are just part of gambling. Well the biggest win for me was approximately $300 and my biggest lost was 90 usd. I think that was when I was playing poker. I didn't knew that I could win and loss that big. At first I won that 300 USD. And after that I lost 90. But I think it is worth because I have 210 usd remaining right?

Wow! that's good, mind sharing the bet you placed for this.

---

Sorry to hear about your loss mate, Yeah unfortunately it has happened with a lot of gamblers. People try to recover the lost funds and end up losing even more. Anyway best of luck for the future.

---

That's an Incredible run. You have got skills that's for sure. How did your investment yielded? was it profitable?

---

Wow! Your luck is just amazing! That's all i can say about this! Plus you did the right thing when you won those 0.5 BTC, withdrawing 0.4 BTC was a smart move!

---

True, bitcoin doesn't have many professional gamblers. But i was just curious to see what have other fellow bitcointalk gamblers have experienced. I have seen some incredible stories so far, The amount won won't be that big but the returns some people have got are good.

---

Amazing! You have got the Luck gods by your side that's for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Most of the time my focus is over sports betting and usage of casinos were very low. This is due to the ease of prediction with sports events which is not that effective with casino and slot games. My biggest winning is around 600$ when the price of bitcoin was around $1000 and the biggest loss happened consecutively which was around $1500.

I am also player of sports betting, and in sports we use our mind and prediction then it really work and sometime we have no need of luck properly.
But your lose is really big, and i also have a big lost 0.2 btc within 2 years, and now it is equal with your lose.
But i accept my lose because i have no choice except to accept it.

Indeed it is true the chances of loss are really low if you truly understand the sport. IMO your loss is a bit on the high side $1500 consecutive losses , also how much did you bet for the $1000 win? Would love to hear about that win. Thank you both for sharing your experience.

That's an Incredible run. You have got skills that's for sure. How did your investment yielded? was it profitable?

My portfolio is up around 42% since investment. bought BTC around 1.4k US in April. plan on a withdraw in November to hit the next tournament series.

Wow! all i can say is best of luck for the tournament!

My biggest loss were in bustabit 0.05btc and dice game 0.07btc but i was lucky that i just forget to play their and started to bet in sports like cricket and soccer and within some time i recovered my loss and now i am in low decent profit just following my bankroll system to play.

I too remember that site bustabit. Although i lost just .01 and gained some money at prime dice. In one take i recovered my lost but i scattered my money in different sites like duckdice and yolodice just to gain experience on whats going on in this sites. Sadly most of my bettings lost but i least i have tries those different sites. I only bet on nba sports and dota predictions and so far its doing good. Gotta wait until october though for nba.

My biggest win was when i gambled for the first time. I purely had no brains how gambling worked and didn't understand that time that i have got this easy chance of earning i got a profit of 0.5 bitcoin from just 0.1 bitcoin i kept on gambling and lost 0.1 to recover that i lost another 0.1 and like that i ended up with a loss of 0.2 bitcoin. My best recovery was reaching 0.1 from just 0.007

My biggest win is 0.1 btc then my biggest losses is 0.07 and I recovered in the next day but just 0.05 because everytime I reach the 0.06 I always lose so I stop already at 0.055 then after I already withdraw so I wouldn't be tempted to gamble again.

that is big losses you got but fortunately you can win tripple times than your losses so you still make a good profit. my biggest losses is about $50 but its not in one times playing gambling but i make a total losses so far and my biggest winning is about $35. yes i still make losses in $15 because i am not too good in gambling games.

me i lose maybe around .08 worth of alts i really cant remember the exact figure because after that i did promise not to gamble with dice game again,
regarding to my winnings maybe i already win it back little by little since I'm in with sports gamble and i'm just placing my bets when i do have enough
knowledge regarding to that specific game.

My biggest losses on gambling 500$ that is my lost only in one day then i never tried to play again. Because I'm afraid that it will happen again. I never recover my losses,now i never gamble because i regret when i get lose my money.

We do have the same amount that we have lost on playing which its almost $500 on a single play which makes me really angry later on and my temper got high because of such thing.I almost make some trouble on the place/my house with other people here because of that frustrating thing that do happen to me.Instead of stopping i do still play but for now i do only bet on the amount that i can afford to lose up. I already learned on that mistake.

$500 is not a small amount. you learned the mistake in gambling with this incident but there are many players lost more than this amount still they are playing gambling and losing money. I never did this kind of mistakes in my life. if I lose $10 i feel so sad in that if i lost $500 means don't know what i am going to do. I too lost money in gambling, but my recovery method is i will gain back my lost in trading or any other work.

Its always nice to hear about turnarounds and recoveries with losses and losing streaks since i haven't had any significant one. Instead of recovery, i often end up turning a good situation around when i become a bit too greedy. That is when i was still gambling, now i don't anymore

My biggest wins/losses I made was 2 years later Dice game 0.12bits, maybe for someone it is not big money but for me it is. As I said I won 0.12 then the next day I used the same trick lost half because the game is luck
