I know there's a lot of sports bettors here that are hoping they will hit a big time win in a short time, since we all want to have a life changing win but these people below are just so lucky. 

It's 25 people in the list, but I will go with the top 10 for the sake of discussion only.

https://www.thepunterspage.com/biggest-sports-betting-wins/
1. Billy Walters – a successful $3.5 million bet
2. Vegas Dave – $2.5 million on a $140,000 bet
3. Steve Whiteley – £1.5 million on a £2 bet
4. Fred Craggs – £1 million on a £0.50 bet
5. Mike Futter – £800,000 on betting his own horse
6. James Adducci – $1.2 million on an $85,000 bet
7. Charles Barkley – $800,000 on a $500,000 bet
8. Anonymous punter – £585,000 on an £0.80 bet
9. Darren Yates – £550,000 on a £62 bet
10. Mick Gibbs – £500,000 on a £0.30 bet

Those that are in bold text are the kind of wins we like to achieve, with a little capital , we can turn our money into a huge amount.

How would you do that guys? do you consistently bet on parlay with big odds?

I just now read the whole article and I was amazed to read that there are others in this list who actually wagered small amount and won. I will call them lucky ones as rarely it happens that someone wins a huge amount by just wagering a few pence.

I like hearing about the ones where someone at the start of a government's term in power places a bet for or against them winning the next election.  Other similar ones are who will be the next Prime Minister, President, Governor etc.  Even baby names for Royals can pay out big (who'd've though "Archie" would be the name Harry & Meghan would choose for their child's name).

That is really lucky when that person only bet small amount and won big time or decent amount. Many people do want to win big time and if you don't have enough capital then winning big time might be possible if you are one of the lucky ones to win huge amount of money in betting.

I have been trying to hit a high parlay payout with only $1 bet or even less, but it's like betting in a lottery and I think it's hard to win that way.
However, if I would choose, I'd rather bet on sports than put my money in a lottery, at least when you watch the sports, you also feel the excitement, and here's the bonus here, you can exercise your mind when you are analyzing your parlay bet.

I had some parlay bets that almost won, sometimes I rather not watch the game as almost winning sometimes affect me emotionally, and it distract my analysis in selecting my individual bet (non-parlay) where I usually put a decent amount.

I'm okay with the number 10, "a  £0.30 bet won a £500,000 ".. that's too lucky and if I lose, I would not even think or it will not move me unlike with my regular bet which sometimes cause me some sleepless nights. I call this one as a way of investing or saving your money,   £0.30 is an amount that anyone that has a job can afford to lose on a daily basis, and who knows our time will come, we will be in the list soon.

Lol some very nice wins in this list even with a very small amount. What I sometimes try to do is create a 10-12 fold with semi risky bets but where I believe in.
Never ever even come close. My best result was 5/10 but it is still fun to do.

Nr 7 is crazy by betting $500k on a 1.6 odd...

Depends, but it's really hard to bet on parlay and really win big. Unless you are really good or at least very well versed on the sports that you are going to bet to. Even I try to do a 5 bet parlay, it's really heartbreaking if you missed the last one.

8/9/10, that's a huge windfall, and it's a crazy odds to win that huge money with that small capital.

It's amazing to see those low capital wager and hit a huge amount of jackpot. These are a life-changing event and almost all gamblers dream. I had never won a jackpot my entire life, but I don't want to keep on betting chasing this jackpot and realizing soon that I already lost a huge amount.

I like to read about people who won large sums with small bets.

But this is often more an exception to the rule than a pattern.

Just like Lotto in my country. We bet only good for 20 Pesos or 0.5 dollar something but we can win up to 900M pesos or 4M dollars. However, it is hard to hit the jackpot prize since a couple of digits we need to guess just to win.

If there are loss, there are also lucky players who win in casino. I just thinking that they don`t worry about their security. Anyway, they are too whales and millionaires so they actually pay for guards. I dunno the feeling of betting a huge amount but I think it is amazing and exciting to bag those tokens or chips because of your wagers.

These wins are like historic wins so it is not possible for everyone to make it but there are some threads available in bitcointalk as well like challenge of reaching million dollars with 100 dollars as capital like that which is definitely possible if someone knows better about the games and also they need luck to be on their side as well.

Is there any list available for crypto sport bet huge wins dedicatedly?

Those are extraordinary numbers and lucky to win something like this big. It may just happen to 1 in thousands or millions as well who get it right on their research or luck and win it as well. Let’s put our fingers crossed if not those big amounts something decent amount we can also win the sports betting and will makes us more ich than today.

It's so nice to see some stories of bettors who were able to win a huge jackpot prize even when they only bet a low amount of money. Those people on the list were lucky to experience winning such a huge amount of jackpot but not everyone has the same luck to experience it and this kind of luck mostly only happens once.

Just like you, I have not experienced winning a big amount of jackpot since I only stick with a small amount of money when betting since I don't wanna end up losing a lot. I also don't wanna chase after jackpot prizes since I believe that I will win it even without chasing them if it's really for me.

If you see that there are some who win big prizes with a small number of bet it proves that it is possible to win by bet any amount, but there must be an element of luck too, I never win a jackpot and amount I bet is small and don't think will hit the jackpot.

The winning bet that in bold are the main point here that OP want to emphasize. The guy who won that huge bet are probably using a multiple parlay with an incredible odds. I believe he parlay more than 20 bet ticket or more. It is possible to win huge amount using small bet just keep on trying because it is the key on hitting the right spot for this jackpot. If you are very lucky, you might hit on few times but if not, You can rely on consistency of your betting.

 I'm really inspired on this amazing winning list and I never thought that this was really possible.  :o

It is always nice to see people winning large amounts on gambling, but the dark truth is this... you do not see the millions they bet, before they got that winning bet. You might think that $3.5 million or £1.5 million is all profit and you seldom even think about it... but that gambler might have gambled for say 10 years and the amount that he or she gambled, before he won that amount could have been even more than that win.  ::)

Most of these people will also not stop gambling after that win, because they have lots of money now, so they will just make bigger bets and before they know it... it will all be gone again.  :(

The first one is even more crazy, dropping $3.5m on an underdog. I don't mind taking the underdogs once in a while but i'll never go all in like that.

I'll never win big as those guys but the best winning run i've had was by placing live bets and at the same time strictly following a fixed bet size. I've had a few nice parlay wins mostly 2-3 legs but I don't recommend making parlays to anyone new to sports betting since it's very hard to pull off.

Those are the humans that are full of skills and luck with no excuses, I'm not new into the world of gambling even in the casino but in casino still, I never knew that there is a winner shouting on the machine or in the table because they win a lot of money I hope I see this one or even I will experience this kind of luck because for now, I don't have enough wins like that, I think I just won over ten dollars per game sometimes it's negative lol.

I think those are the people who had a skill in mind games and also into the world of gambling too because they possibly manipulate all the things that possibly use to earn more by those talents and skills.

As in the above quote, everyone who has got listed were full of luck. Achieving such a big wins won't happen that easy, and the information provided is great. Same as that I prefer to know the list of people who have lost big out of gambling. This might add hope to the gamblers expecting big wins, but the skills or talents doesn't have role. This means the luckiest will get the best.

Those luck coming from behind really  a life changing opportunities, it's really  a big one that you'll going to enjoy for the rest of your life.
Though the chance is really small since you are just using small capital but once luck permits you to win this over, no one  can
stop you to have a  life changing experienced.

Was that the NBA Legend Charles Barkley on the spot of number 7? Of all those wins I think his bet was the risky one compared to others who even bet below $5. I think I can only dream about the number 3, 4, 8 and 10 here since I'm not that of a gambler to be honest.

I do not know exactly how realistic the list mentioned here, how accurate it is and how reliable it is, but it is remarkable that such a list is shared as open names.


To talk about my own thoughts and gambling methods, I can rarely make bets that I expect surprising results, and therefore I have very high odds of winning, but I usually prefer to bet without increasing these rates by exaggeration. For example, instead of choosing a 10 odds bet, it prefers 1.50 odds and I may add very high amounts to these low odds.


Also, when looking at the shared list, I would like to say that some people here were very lucky. It is not easy to make a few bets and earn such a high amount of money with almost nothing too low to be bought.

Some of them bet huge amount though.  $3.5 million,  $140,000 and $500,000 are huge bet a lot of people don't normally bet that huge, it really will allow them to win big too.  Its those who bet £0.30 and win £500K that's got to be a life changing for a poor man.  We don't often see a low wager to win jackpot and if there is, his bet would be investigated like what happend to LAngle who eventually discovered actualy robbed the casino and then bet.

Did Charles Barkley make this legendary bet when he was with the Suns or the Sixers? ;D


Even betting on multiple parlays with high odds might not even be enough to convert £0.30 to £500,000 or £0.50 to £1 million. These are very special cases of gamblers who are too lucky to have made such wealth out of insignificant bets. Yields as high as these from very tiny bets are almost impossible to believe.

I felt so envious they are too lucky to win a great prizes like that. Here in my country the prizes on sports betting are almost 1% only of that price and its enough only for buying stuffs that's not expensive like food. In that price I can say that those winners can build their own mansion and can even go for a huge business.

Neither of the two. He made this bet back in '02 though, and he is for about 2 years retired player already in the league back in that time. Here's the source (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.lineups.com/betting/top-10-biggest-sports-betting-wins-of-all-time/%3famp), man.

Sure it gives you a big win but it always come with a big risk as well, reaching a point of not getting anything at all. That's why I'm not fond of such ideology, I don't like it, even if the odds are that appealing. Not putting much of a thought, I just don't wanna go home empty. One more thing, bear in mind, that circumstances might turned the opposite.

All of us would really have the same input when it comes to that matter.People do much prefer on hitting bigtime with have less capital or bet to put on.
This is only possible with parlays with very very huge odds but when it comes or do talk about on how much luck you do need then you will surely need
lots of it but when it comes to winning chances then i can say that it is way more better rather than betting or buying a ticket to a Powerball.
Those numbers or winnings in op are indeed huge and the bolded ones is the most amazing part of it.

I never knew there are people who won this kind of big amount by just a small amount of bet, you know what, it inspires me now.
Before, I used to watch youtube videos about successful sports bettor and I know Billy Walters, he is really a whale in the sports of gambling and this guy is very clever that he is very rich now, this is the definition that nothing is impossible in gambling, and you can be rich in gambling, but as we can see, there are only few people who got lucky compared to those who lose money, that's the formula why casinos are so profitable as well.

I like to win big money, but it's impossible to follow those bettors who bet big and win big, I am more like bet small and win big, just like these people who might hit a big parlay bet, so I will maybe keep trying now as I also like to experience the same fate,  ;D

anyone here have some inspiring parlay bets to share?

Yes, that's him, it can't be denied as Charles Barkley was reported in the past to have a gambling addiction problem.

That's just his win but in overall, he is not a winner.

read this : Charles Barkley's Addiction Has Cost Him Over $10 Million
 (https://www.sportscasting.com/charles-barkleys-addiction-has-cost-him-over-10-million/)

Having their predictions come real life is a miracle in itself. Imagine being able to predict the first four horses on a race With the correct order before it even happens. It’s Not just predicting the first horse but additional horses that come after them. It’s typically impossible to do, but luck happens.

I also remember a topic here about a bet that used a parlay as a means to win around 8 Bitcoins, I think, from a small amount of BTC as well.

The odds should be higher for making such kind of profit, the higher the odds the less likely the punter will be successful at the end of story. The experience is 20% of the process, the bottom line is to be lucky in all conditions. 90+3 goals can change everything but system coupons can ensure the profit with less payout. My biggest won was $8000 2 years ago.

Hitting up these kind of multipliers would really have that nearly-impossible line/hits or requirement before you do able to hit the pot and it do really indeed lots of luck in the world for you to get such line.
Gambling does really need luck most of the time but i can say that there's some sort of strategy mixed up with that because on each option that you had chosen then it does accompanied with analysis next into that.
Its just amazing to look at with those very minimal amount of money bet and win up millions of usd or even hundreds of thousands which do really happen once in a blue moon when Goddess of Luck sit besides you.  8)

Pretty much inspiring, anyone who are actively betting in sports should see this so they'll not easily give up.

I like to be in the number 8, where I would still be Anonymous even if I win big, and I think crypto sportsbook serves that purpose for us.
Most if not all of that winners are gambling from fiat casinos, hopefully we would also see some winners with the same range of amount here in crypto space.

This is really amazing hitting the jackpot is mostly dreams to achieve it. I can't even imagine winning a huge amount of money in an online game. Fate never comes in me and they are very lucky though they are able to bet and win big. I had encountered before in a parlay bet that I can't even win it always turns out to lose my money. This inspires people to try their luck also in a game.

Seeing Billy Walters manage to get $ 3.5 million sometimes makes me imagine when my luck will come. We must be optimistic that
one day our names will appear on the list, because I'm sure everyone has their own luck. All we need is to be patient waiting for our
luck to come, just do betting regularly. And no need to have large capital to be the biggest winner is the most important.

For me it is not all about luck after all, it is all about guts and skills. Those professional gamblers have strong hands where they eating pressure and they take high risks but not all of professional gamblers are keep making money in the gambling industry. I'm sure that most of you heard that many gamblers are stuck in huge debt and they can't escape the gambling addiction. Predicting what is right is unimaginable for sure those gamblers who earn a lot of money are good in terms of probability.

That still depends on your betting style if you don't have a big gambling budget then you have to make parlays with tons of selections to make it in the list.

It might take some time before we see a sports bettor win a lot from crypto sportsbooks since the maximum possible win or limits is still low compared to those fiat sportsbook that won't have problems taking a hundred thousand dollar bet like it's a normal day for them.

Some names are bold in which if I am not mistaken, chosen because of their efficient bet amount but fantastic jackpot win. Most of the gambling website posts tons of these winnings showcasing the capability of their platform for bettors to test their luck. Though the chance of winning these jackpots is too low, if you are the very lucky one, you could win. And this will only happen if and only if you are betting and testing your luck. Most of the people always says that they will buy things they want if they win the lottery. The problem is, they isn't really betting. So, if we bet regularly even with small amount just to test our luck, we still have the chance to win.

These guys are lit af.  Can't believe that they are so lucky that can generate a huge amount of money within one tiny single bet. Luck is on their side when they made their bet.

In my opinion, I guess that there must be someone who won an outstanding bet with cryptocurrency, right ? But it is hard for us to make an assumption since bitcoin and crypto-related are usually decentralized and anonymous. The number of gamblers who join online gambling and crypto gambling increases sharply recently in which gives me a strong indicator of the big winner in the crypto world

Didn't read the article. So this was indeed the Charles Barkley that we all knew and loved on the court? I actually thought this was another Charles Barkley. And it even surprised me that he didn't make the half million dollar-bet on a basketball match but on football.

Even those who use big money and win are also lucky people because in gambling there is only 2 ways in outcome either you win by luck or lose in greed.

Those people who bet smaller mostly the luckiest persons in the world while those who use big amount are the true gambling addict as what we describe .
but the question is how much is the capital of Billy Walters before achieving that amount is the question.

judging by thier bets versus thier win , these people are playing on a higher multipliers and not by a single or double bet only because that takes alot of time to build thousands and millions from a tiny capital  but it also takes a massive of luck to hit a high multipliers   .

 bolded text on the list are indeed most impressive compare to the non bolded text as they could only be betting the normal way and they already started with higher capital plus high enough bets  .

Yes, the big possibilities that there's someone out there from crypto space who won huge amount of money from their gambling activities.
I used to remember way back from stake as they are announcing big multiplier winners, though not sure if that's something
huge enough to also be qualified from the list, but somewhere out here a crypto gamer managed to bank
huge amount of winnings.

Those little-capital, big wins are quite interesting. I wonder if the winners won that with just one small bets at a time or multiple small bets in short time. That will be interesting to know.   The little-capital, big win will probably be very rare and difficult for a bettor to win if it is once in a while hard/difficult bet.    Wonder if it is won by skills or just luck.

This is probably one of the reasons why sports betting is so popular, because if we are lucky we can become the biggest winners by getting
million dollars. What's interesting to get this thing does not require large capital, like Fred Craggs only betting with £ 0.50.But being able to
get £ 1 million, this is truly insane. But that's gambling we can be rich suddenly or suddenly poor. Depends on the luck we have.

I recently turned less than a dollar into 0.1btc win from the Sportsbet.io Multimaster competition (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208617.msg54799781#msg54799781) just this weekend.
So it can be done with such little capital to get 100x from it.
Just takes a little luck and faith in your own predictions. ;)

wow, very lucky, if you have bet a higher amount, that could result to a bigger win, congratulations on that man, I wasn't able to check on your thread.
As for me, I was not so active betting lately as I was still waiting for the NBA to resume, the NBA betting thread we have will be active soon, and hopefully one of us from there will be lucky like you.

Do you have more wins like this in the past?

I have a high odds parlay with only one legged lose, I was thinking of sharing but when I saw your post, I changed my mind. it's not a winner anyway.

I have alot of these sort of "small wagered" bets all over the place but they don't always win. More like a 25% success rate, which is common for choosing such a high payout with a micro stake used.
For the multimasters I had just won, that is the minimum amount (0.1mbtc) where you would win the ticket amount + the prize given if all your selections won. Not just 11 out of the 15 to receive a lower amount in the prize pool given.
Check out the thread I mentioned. They run them every weekend and post the selections every monday or tuesday to start the new week for this competition. I always post them up on there as soon as they are available.
I would be a real gambler if I placed a Big Boy Bet such as this one. ;D
https://i.ibb.co/XDq40gs/Big-Boy-Bet.jpg (https://imgbb.com/)
I will doubt they would use such a stake amount if the odds were high meaning more risk involved. :-\

He should've won 0.3 btc from the contest but since there's three of them with the same number of correct predictions the prize was split equally, still a decent prize though.

If you're interested in parlays you should check buwaytress, he does some crazy parlays once in a while on his predictions thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5011930.0).

Is that from holdem again ? I always see him bet on esports.  :D

he dont need to switch on other games but he can try again on the games that he won big because luck could be only staying there  . often times i can win on one game but not in the other one because i also tried switching to the other games after every win on the other  but seriously that was insane luck they have there including the guy that turn a less dollar to 0.1 btc  , is that a single bet only  ? i know you said competion  but there are many types of competition too not just single one .

This is the Living Proof how Luck dominates the Whole gambling world right?

Imagine others spend millions of dollars before winning big while others bets only cents?and boom getting the jackpot?

thats why in gambling it is not how much your capital is,but how much luck is on your side that day.

Wow! that was a huge win, I didn't think someone could bet something huge like that. But the question is how much money did they lost after taking that win. I like sports betting too I feel I have more chances of winnings in sports betting than those games that are purely based on luck with no idea what is going to be the result, In sport you can review teams performance and stuff which gives you additional chances to make the right predictions.

Very straightforward question, most of those for sure also spend lots of money to keep playing hoping that one
day lucks will be on their side and give them the jackpot, and eventually that
luck comes and now changes their life forever.


Sports betting allows you to fully analyze your chances, with reviewing each games and with your knowledge
within the players or teams that you'll going to bet with, your chance is really much
higher than any luck based gambling.

Why not ?he can try as many gambling as he can as long as luck is on his side.

remember that for us to win we need luck so either staying in your only game or moving in  the next,what is important are the lucky moment we have when we are on gambling situation.

As per many people's input, most sportsbetting things are fixed. For example, I watched one biggest winning event in stake.com which was about first half of play and for zero goals and someone bet with some 10 BTC and won some 16 or 18 BTC in the matter of 45 minutes. If the betting amount was small, and the bet was about the final winner then probably I would not have remembered that betting event. I am sure that was a fixed one and the betting amount is more than enough evidence in my opinion.

All I am trying to say here is, having a glance on biggest sportbetting winning is good but if you plan up anything to achieve like that then that may lead to bid disasters as it is a billion dollar industry and the level of manipulations are beyond our imagination. Just keep checking and then keep moving on will help all of small gamblers.

The fixed games and rigged casino software are the reasons why high rollers prefer to play anonymously, this is another side of decentralization HYPE. Finding bug on casino software or getting first-hand information about fixed games from Italian soccer mafia 20 min before the start of the match are the well-known deciphered facts, so it is not only about being lucky in order to motivate the naive people.

Fact! Even though these informations cant really be heard nor get so easily but these things does really exist thats why we do see big wins but to know that these cant really be acquired by average or normal joes.
of course it would come with a price.
Its really good to see those winnings which would surely inspire lots of gamblers in the industry yet they would put up into their minds that it is possible to win with few dollar bets.
Pretty sure that there are still indeed people who do win bigtime but doesnt included in the list. This industry is vast and big so its hard to point them specifically.

I wish I am interested with other sports so I could follow your thread all the time.. yeah, the big boys, they bet big and make big, I don't belong to that either as gambling is only my past time.


Thanks for explaining, winning is not impossible here, but I am not currently active in participating the contest announce in the forum, I have a lot of schedules that are lining up so I am only limited to betting one game and just check them afterward, it's just like a come and go situation thing I am currently at now, maybe in the future, I'll find time since I'm still hoping to get a big win one day.


Thanks, will probably check this, tailing would be easier than analyzing my own, and this guy has a decent record in sports per his thread.

Possibly he has inside info about the outcome of the fight.  Rigged games happen.


True that especially when the the one betting has little knowledge about the fighting teams.  When it happens I often bet on the underdog to make the most out of my bet.

---

Well, those who staked little and won big surely shows us that sometimes if luck smiles on us, even with a little bankroll can be a life changing in gambling industry.

Doesn't matter especially at those who bet small and play with high odds. Surely, those gamblers who bet for a small amount are aiming for that purpose for a long-time so even we know how much they bet overall, I think their winnings covered it all.

I'm also an enthusiast of taking chances in a long list of parlays but it's really difficult to win if you aim for a higher payout (obviously) even how good we are at those covered sports.

Rigged or not, still, it's difficult to rely on insiders. Sometimes sh*t happened. All I can say is, most of them got lucky while applying their own knowledge.

The number 10 is just pure luck. With odds of 1,666,666/1, if I'm on his situation I will not expect for too much on it. Just see the odds. That is even lower than your chances of winning in a lottery I think but still he is quite lucky enough to get the prize :D.

The number 1 is purely insane and pure trust in his prediction, skills and experience. Putting a huge amount like that in an underdog is no joke but still he got the victory :D.
Not expecting for this to happen for me though  ;D ;D

Many are called to bet but only one is being chosen. LOL yes, this one is purely luck. Anyone could not expect it but it seems that this guy has a lucky charm probably? Most of the time gamblers wish to win like this often failed but most often winners did not expect to win a prize like this. So, if I will going to bet. I will not expect to win so that I could also be not expecting if I win. LOL (insane statement)
We had our own and kind of bet. This kind of guy that goes all in betting. Most of the time probably they get lost but one thing for sure if they will be able to win then definitely it would also be huge.

Everything that was bold in the OP is won based on luck, but this one is no different that lottery as you still need some effort here to analyze the game before putting your bet, which is why I like over lottery IMO.

HE bet on the dog but we never know what the odds were, maybe 2.10-2.30, that's still considered an underdog but It wasn't a heavy dog.

These wins are really inspiring.What inspires me more out of all the names shown here is the last guy on the list which has won 500000 with just a 0.30 bet.I wonder how many games did he parlay and which sport book accepted that many games.Probably the one that accepted the bet thought it will never land and let it go.

Statistically speaking these big wins with low budget are very rare. Much more an illusion that something that you can hit in your real life.
I will never try to hit some of these since it's quite impossible. I am not inspired and I will never try to hit a "magic win" like this.
Yes there are some cases, but there are more people that have been hit by an asteroids ... ;)

You might be correct but if you are betting in sports and you are also risking money in lottery, I doubt you would not try to hit a high odds parlay.
with less than 1 dollar, I think it's not high enough just to have fun and hope one day you'll hit the jackpot, I mean others hit this big, so it could be very enticing for sports bettors out there who like to change their life in an instant.

Just do your thing though, it's not advisable for everyone as the chance is very low, just like hitting a lottery, but you can always add this one as for me it gives me a little of an excitement when betting.

Interesting.
I guess by "a little luck" you mean it's not entirely based on luck? That is typical sports-betting, I think. Sport betting is normally skill-based game, depending on the bettor skill though. If a sport bettor has no skills, I guess he/she will be depending on  luck.
Congrats by the way!

Those are really some worrying betting decisions. It will really change your whole life once you won these kind of betting situations BUT you need to make sure that you are making it with your own decision and not just following somebody else's speculation. This really shows that the higher the risk, the higher the reward.

That high stake should be worrying, but these people betting that high are gamblers, they don't worry as they are professional, especially Billy Walters.
For those small bets with big winnings, there's nothing to worry, it should be the house who should worry if they win.  ;D

Those professional gamblers are ready to take and handle the risk, they are being built to deal with anything that will
happened from their gambling. If win, they will bank huge if lose then go and move forward for another try. While to
those lucky small bettors they just use small amount and hit the pot, the house though won't worry about it since there
are compound bets that also generate profits outside the pot money.

Indeed mate and stadus is right, he is a professional gambler, a very successful professional gambler.
We can check some videos in youtube so we will know this guy.

Here are some.

 Extra: Billy Walters' Analytics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LxbrG10HXA)

To be honest, most big winnings happen on.such was, either is luck or crazy gambling. We all know that only knowledge, skills and experiences without luck rarely lead to huge winnings. Also they are mainly reserved for professional gamblers . And very often behind big winnings there are big losses too

They are having another multimaster for this weekend, probably releasing the starting teams today or tomorrow.
I will put up the table on my thread as soon as they are available so keep a look out for it to get the "insider information" :D
Thanks. I think your the first one to congratulate me but not officially yet on my MM thread.
So give it a visit for the next one if you like. ;)

There was this one user who had that "beginners luck" on a wager for one of those slots machines which I wouldn't think would payout so much. :-\

Just inline with the release of their new casino 3.0 so maybe it was due to just because it's the first day (actually received an email from them less than 5 hours ago saying it was live w/ a bonus! ;D)
Here is the post about it:

Looks like a dream, to get a huge parlay with good odds you need to be really lucky and i have seen many players hitting big odds in sports parlay in stake with small amounts and i have seen someone winning over 50 bitcoin a few months back with a small amount. I try my best to replicate some of the big odds but most of the time i end up loosing  :D. I only wage on soccer MMA and cricket for over a year and my best odds i could get a full parlay win was over 160 odds but the amount placed was really low.

Sorry bro, we are normal humans so luck won't hit us too hard like those people got hit. :-[ But you are still doing good on betting the game while you like so you are aware of the situation and don't let your greed to cover your common sense.Just keep betting with low amount and try to remove your early deposit so you will be completely play with the profits got from previous results.

talking about gambling and luck?everything might happen in each of us,if Luck really comes for us.
there are times that we become lucky though not huge like what above winners got.
But remember that contentment will always save us from addiction and losing high so better learn to deal with it.

It's indeed a victory, winning the much and just betting in minimal. The player might really studied his plan and plans it accordingly, he might also be already experienced. He's too lucky to do it and been good in parlay. Some stops betting when there's already a huge profit. Player might be really in push to get his goal and really lucky that fay that makes it possible. Sometime what we really need is the courage to bet to make it possible. Since without the courage even we feel luck there is nothing will happen.

While the odds are similar and that is why you can earn so much money with one of those parlays at the same time there is a crucial difference, the lottery is completely random and there is no system that could give you an edge but when it comes to sports betting even if the casino has a huge advantage over the player when it comes to the data it can analyze a player could still obtain an edge over the casino under the right circumstances, even then winning such a parlay will be incredibly difficult but your odds could be improved slightly.

I never really thought that such luck will come to me so never got involved in any kind of gambling activity with that mindset.Just trying to bet to see how much lucky I am but most of the time I keep losing the amount which I won on the earlier bets.

We never know when we are lucky, so you never stop, as long as you are putting a small bet, it should not bother you right, it's just like throwing some money for entertainment rather than buying a lottery ticket where it's not gonna excite you.

Sports betting is one of the biggest gambling game in the gambling world, that's why it's very popular, and betting with parlay, you can get transparent result than the lottery so I'm really a fan of betting or let's just say wasting money for a bigger opportunity.

My $1 to win $10,000, I think I would be okay with that, bigger chances compared to winning $100,000 or $1,000,000.

This is exactly what sport bookmakers want :)
I mean they like people that try to reach these very high jackpot, and most of time they are forcing players offering also bonus, or promoting big wins.
I can understand your point and I am agree with you.
But if you want gamble to "earn" some money you should bet wisely, focused, just few match.
This is my 10 (golden) rule ;)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1234109.msg12848315#msg12848315

We can really compare it with Lottery when it comes to odds then  theres no doubt that sports betting is much more better than lottery itself.You are right it is way more transparent and at the same time you can
enjoy it up since you can witness the games on where you do bet for.

$1 or a few bucks wont really hurt up your pocket and the chance on hitting big is there in spite of the bet amount you had put into.Luck of course is the main factor or needed for a gambler to win huge.
You would never know on when that happen but at least even on minimal amount we do really had that chance.

Anyone's target. But for that to achieve, you really need a big bag of patience.

Only parlay I think is the key for small bets to get a big win (when I say big, almost a jackpot) in sports betting unless there's a Moneyline odds out there offering a x999 on which I called it rare even in live betting for underdogs or for a team that is behind a large lead.

There are millions of sports bettors but only few do have notable winnings. That's how lucky they are.

I never bet on live betting with x999 odds as I think they would just lose anyway.

Usually, I put my parlay bet during pre-game so I could analyze carefully and try to find the best odds with best payout, winning millions is my dream but haven't tried putting a parlay on it, maybe I'll take it step by step,  :)

The axiom doesn't need to be proven and the fixed games mafia is always there whenever the cheaters need. I have seen the first half goal fixed and even corner fixed games too! The information is the most valuable thing in this world and not every lucky guy has access to this connection. In this year, more than 50 new gambling websites popped up like a mushrooms after rain but only few of the new casinos are reliable.

the comparison is very small because the prizes obtained are very large so that it will make gambling developers make it difficult to get that many prizes, if calculated on a scale it will only be given a chance of 0.0000001% for the winner.

But there's a difference, betting on lottery, purely based on luck, putting a parlay in sports betting, you are betting using your skills and knowledge and if you are lucky as well, that's where you win. No one put a huge parlay by just picking the bets blindly, my 2 cents.

That's why as a sports bettor, we appreciate big parlay than betting on a lottery, personally I am doing that and that's the reason I posted this thread because I was inspired by the big winnings of the sports bettors.

I just wish the "big notable wins" can be split into average/comfortable/ok wins so that more small bettors can be winners.
The millions of dollars worth of win for a small bettor could be split into $10,000 per small bettor.... more than 100 winning $10,000, *assuming all/most of the bettors are not really wealthy(they are truely betting with what they can afford to lose .)  This could happen once in while, maybe randomly.

I have a friend that managed to rack up $14,000 from a 50 cent accumulator betting on a single night of boxing.

I also have another that turned $50 into $97,000 by betting running an accumulator for the last NFL season, and then he stuck the whole thing on red (roulette) and lost it all.

Myself, I've managed to turn $200 into over $1,800 on two occassions by predicting the round Anthony Joshua (boxer) would knock out his opponent.

Nice, congratulations to you and your friend, good to know that we also have winners here.

If I may ask, is accumulator betting the same with parlay bets or not?

Those were really big amounts of winning indeed. I can already appreciate being on the position of the person on the 10th spot even though it was just  £500,000 winning that maybe the smallest amount compared to other players on the list but at least he have won such massive amount on a smallest bet possible. That man was totally one of a kind and seriously he can be categorized to be the lucky one for winning such massive amount even on small bet. Compared to others on the list that indeed they have the biggest winnings that are far beyond what the 10th spot have attained, but still they have lots of money being exerted before they have got into such a winning. The experience of the number 10 is what I can say to be the luckiest bet to win a big price. Imagine you just bet for £0.30 but you have already win  £500,000 in return. He was literally a lucky guy.


To do that, you must be really lucky because winning on bets are seriously a chance of luck most specially if you have bet a small amount and surprisingly you get home a huge amount for a small amount you bet in a game.

Well, I indeed still do bet on parlay with big odds thinking that my luck would come on an unexpected manner and because I just bet sometimes so it is just fine for me to spend for quite sometime on betting. But what I really want to be is like the 10th spot that I think it was just a single bet and then boom he has already a big amount for that amount he have spent.

I don't know these guys are lucky or just made a bet with strategy and well-planned money management but the biggest winners are usually from China vs Russia. The illegal betting markets are famous in Russia, Serbia, there is an option to pay a taxes to the government in some countries too. The Pinnacle is the home of high bankroll pro players and the experts strongly advise to use Pinnacle for big betting amounts. The winners are welcome and no need to send KYC documents for withdrawals over $10000.

A little strategy and big luck, that's what they need, except for those big bettors which risk a huge amount of money, sure they really are gambling with that range already because they might be a professional gamblers. And mind you, these are not done in illegal gambling sites, otherwise, their real names will not be published, so it's safe to assume there's a KYC.

He won this in 2010, right? Until now, it is not breakable this record? Wow. $3.5 million was very high amount moreover in that year. He should be very rich because of this betting.
Some lessons we can take from all of the gamblers to get high amount of wining. Firts is about none is got by instant. yeah, Billy Walters was successful but it is not instant. he won it after his long journey of betting and struggling with many risks and also efforts.

After reading about this big wins I get a desire to start with sport betting again!


I'm sure that these bets are not guessing! They follow the sport they are betting on, they know the teams and in what shape they are they all know all other things, what is on stake for each team. Betting on sports is a skill gambling, the more you know, the more chances you have to make a perfect bet. Now the other thing is what odds are you chasing and how much money you are ready to risk, these people from the list have big balls to chase the highest payouts and to put insanely big bets on their predictions!

Wowww. Those are indeed lucky. Usually, big wins happen when you wagered big amount also. And you're right that winning big by wagering small does not happen always. I, myself, like to wager just small amounts only. I mean, amount that I can afford to lose. But, I don't win huge amount yet. Well, who knows? I might be included in that list in the future.  ;D

If you keep betting, you will probably win, that's the only thing you have to do.
These people especially on the parlay winners, they are not good enough, you know what they need? they just need to be lucky enough.

I'm betting in sports so not because I am inspired with what I see, but because I am ambitious and I love thrill of betting a parlay, although chance are lower compared to straight up betting.

The probability of winning even if you bet every day for years straight is so low you will most likely end up losing everything you've gambled rather than winning anything at all. Besides luck, there's not much you can do to improve your chances - maybe sports betting like you're playing, but even there you still have a luck factor in the game..

That is the most common mistake.some gamblers make, they think if you gamble all the time sooner or later you will win big. Buz we know that isn't true and such theory might even lead to losses.
Gamblers depend on luck, we all know that however in sports gambling sone knowledge and information might be very helpful

Well this is what we called gambling from the word gamble that means (take risky action in the hope of a desired result). as per google dictionary. Anyway what matter here is the fun and excitement. The result or outcome of the bet if it is a gains is already a bonus. The play should change from getting desired profits to enjoying the game and exercise the brain cells as much as possible to enable it to function correctly. Getting that too much luck is a blessing and in my case I'd rather gamble on things that I can accept to lose and not the kind of gambling that you will going to chose between life and death. It is too much if it is having like that as an option. So, careful planning and to keep in mind excitement to win in the bet but not the profits or gain.
 

I also read the article and it doesn't mean that if you started with a small amount of capital, you will not earn the biggest winning that you want.

Sometimes it also includes hardwork and self-discipline in order to prevent losses that can make you stop gambling permanently. They are not lucky ones, they are wise and a professional ones, Luck will not work effectively if you are not wise in making good decisions in gambling activities in order to win huge money.


It isn't luck that keeps them alive from gambling, it is the self-discipline and critical thinking skills that you need in order to adjust in any situation when you access a certain gambling platforms. We all want those big winnings to hit us but what can we do if we aren't lucky and professional like them.

Luck  is indeed the major thing needed when you do like to win up these parlays but you can just make random bets and do take desperation bets since you do like to hit up the pot.

Luck wont work out if a gambler do have that kind of mindset.Its always been suggested to have a better grasp on what you are doing on making up selections on teams or players

which is pretty norm for sportbetting though.

You need extreme luck if you want to win big money from small bet, but if you are building your bankroll and bet on games where chances are good then you just need to be consistent in order to win most of the time. Apparently, gamblers loses more than they win but there are also gamblers who are exceptional than they can win in the long run, so that should be the target, it's not impossible so it can be achieve.

True, but having an inkling that someone (or something) is going to win is sometimes the driving motivation behind placing a bet with a remarkably high return.

e.g. The Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team have lost five of their last six games, and there's no confidence they will win tonight either.  Do I bet on a seemingly sure thing (not winning), or take a risk they will win a game?  Either way the longer they loose, the higher the odds become which makes it more worth while placing a small bet for a big return.

Yups andd that is what those winners got,they have won because of extreme luck,imagine this is once in a billion chance  and they are the one who got the jackpot?

we are all hoping but none has the opportunity,But those listed are the winner.

wish next names to be listed ,our names will reflect .

What kind of event can give such a high multiplier?
It's like predicting who score a goal, and the exact minute of the goal happened. I don't think it can give x1,666,666 multiplier though. Sadly, I lost my worldcup bet slip, IIRC it only gave x100,000ish.

I am not sure that if they can consistently win most of the time as we know, that those games will need to have luck. Besides that, they need to have a good source that can help them choose the right team. If they can select the right team, that will help to get the chance to win. But they can not always expect to win from every match because sometimes, the situations will not happen as what they expect.

Definitely all can do the to analyze on how to select a better team of chances in winning. There are considerations to make of course and that is how the team plays vs. other team plays. In comparison you can expect how a team could be advantage on their plays to which could give you insight on betting. The selections of a team before betting should also consider past games analyzing their weaknesses and stregths and to find out which team would really go out and become successful in winning.

This is better if true. But the Large wins  (millions of dollars) for one small bet is abit too extreme in my opinion. I see similar opportunities(in local fiat) on national television lotto or as text messages... and I'm beginning to think that the rewards should be split to more people... especially if they bettors are not that rich.

These guys like the one in the list who bet big time does not rely on luck, they rely on their skills and they are confident that they can win.
Personally that is my principle when I am gambling in sports betting, this game can be won if you have the skills, therefore developing that skills for you to become successful is necessary.

So if you'll ask me, I'd rather be consistent in winning and be a professional gambler than hitting one time big win which might still lose again in gambling.
When you are consistent, you make consistent money in gambling as well, so that's the benefit.

Sportsbet.io like to share those "small bet into big ones", they just shared one recently with a guy who bet on 10 outcomes including the Arsenal win over Manchester City if I am not mistaken it was 3000x. They give something like 15% or 30% boost to many multis, so I guess people really love it. Nice to bet $1 and get that much!

Not really, these things are supposed to happen that is why they made such huge amount with few dollar bets.Gambling is not a donation program so we can't expect much people to get the benefits from that money if this was imposed then people will really lose their interest on playing such games.The huge reward amount is the real reason why people still bet on it.

Do you think the article was not true? The chance was low but the way they get that huge win was not just they wagered only a penny then win, that's not the case. They win because they bet maybe automatically and we never know how many times they bet before they hit that jackpot.

The boost was really very attractive, that's why I like their site and sometimes I also do some parlay on live betting and it adds up the excitement.
I even go beyond 3000 total odds on my parlay, but I never got too lucky, maybe my time will come and the winner you shared was very lucky, I'm sure he was already betting parlays before and his time has just come.

Losing $1 a thousand times in a hope to win $1k vs losing $1000 in a bet hope to win $2k is the same thing. The fact that you bet once a large amount of money doesn't improve your odds. There's no game where chances are better, except sports gambling where there is skill involved obviously.

Same thing if you look at the numbers, but not if you consider how you feel when you lose.
Imagine losing $1k in single bet, I think that hurts, but losing $1 usd, I think I can sleep with that, besides, not all of us are big bettors, most of us bet small and aim big because we don't really have the capacity to bet or risk that big.

We can get all of those parts of the analysis from many trusting sources that we can use to add more information about each team. If we can get the right info, we can have the opportunity to choose the teams, and that can help us to have a chance to win. We can have statistics of every player in the teams, which will use to check if their teams can be the winner or not. After we have the potential teams which can win, the next thing that we need to do is determine how much money we will use to place the bet.

I am sure they have skills to gamble because they can analyze each team who will show. They can gather so much information from many sources, which can help them get the right teams. Yes, I believe that some of them can become successful in sports betting because they have all the things needed to win the money.

I agree that we should consistent in gambling as you say because that will give us more chances to win, and we can also have an opportunity to be a professional gambler in the future. But we need to be careful because gambling still dangerous.

The Brisbane Broncos lost 46 - 8 last night making five losses from six starts to the season.  People are now talking about there being some fixing going on, but regardless, I saw odds of 40:1 for them to win.  Anyone rolling their wagers over week to week would end up with a big payout at the end of the season especially if the odds stretch out to 100+:1

well I think it's enough to experience losses like that it's better you try to do other games because in my opinion when you experience losses up to $1000 it's already very much and when you use that much capital for trading then you can get a lot of profit, gambling should can learn the gap first and as much as possible should be able to get a profit.

It is possible but very rare that it will happen. So if you are not lucky enough, you will not get that kind of winnings. But in sports betting, the chance is relatively high as compared to gambling games which are based on luck. Because if you are a fan of a particular sport and it is like you live and breathe with that sport, I believe you have good odds of winning.

I have experienced being lucky in gambling when i was young,winning a Bingo Jackpot at the age of 17(actually it was illegal here  to  gamble at that age  but since i have  a friend in that outlet he allows me to  buy cards)

from 4 dollars for 6 cards i have won more than 2,000 dollars and at that age?that is already a huge amount.

what I'm telling here is  luck really comes once in a lifetime chances  so when it comes  lets treasure the moment and spend the money in rightful way.

what i did for the winning ?i pain my 2 semester in college and my parents  are very  proud  of me.

Congratulations, but the game you shared is not related to sports betting, all these winners in the list are winners in sports betting.

Everyone has some kind of luck that could give them a good win but the process is done differently as we are playing different games, now, I like to ask you, are you playing sports betting now and did you aim to win big time like these lucky people?

Of course, with skills you can be consistent and that would be your tool to be a successful gambler.
This gambling success is not for everyone, but only few of the people, so you should know if you have the skills before you claim you have and started risking big money like these successful gambler are doing, key also which is important is being realistic all the time, accept your defeat and continue to learn.


Risky.. maybe... well, that's it, there's a risk in gambling, but you know what you should do? just manage the risk, and like I said you should be realistic so you will do the right approach to be successful.

Chances are bigger in sports betting because besides luck some knowledge can help also. If you follow some sport and know exact situation your chances for winning are better and you have at least something to rely on besides luck. However, for big winning you need to play big and not anyone can afford it.

A friend of mine usually won games with low amount while I always asked, "how". He replied by saying, it's a thing of luck. Those lists are amazing but that doesn't really means they ate perfect in betting but just luck. Its was their lucky day of winning after loosing enough we can't talk about. Lost amount  is a hidden trust, Lol. But anyway, congratulations to them.

The chances will only be higher if you have knowledge about the specific sports that you are into, it is a pure luck if you win in sports betting without knowing the criteria on how the game is working. I'm a sport bettor when it comes to volleyball and basketball, in theses past months I cannot do betting because of the pandemic but I'm happy to see that the NBA is now back and I can now bet again.

But to have skills, we need to learn more to gather the information, and the experience will come with analyzing the game. Only a few people can collect the right information because they have sources to help them analyze the game. But I think they will not claim that they are a high-skills in that game because sometimes, they will hide their skills from other people.

Yes, we know what we should do, but most gamblers, especially a new gambler, don't know what they need to do. And they still play gambling without learning anything, so that can not help them survive in gambling, but they only lose their money in any second. The new gamblers need to learn more if they want to be a pro bettor.

You have a point there, perhaps these people who won huge amount through their small bet already have a history of gambling too many times. What I can see who's true lucky, are those who aren't really much into gambling, then betted a small amount then won.

But this winnings will be truly celebrated when they know that they need to have a break after winning, meaning, if you win these huge amounts, IMO, you should celebrate and stop gambling for a while to really experience the fun in gambling.

Will really be a very lucky person if only with one bet and with a small amount immediately get a big win, because I'm sure people who win a huge amount because they have bet many times. List of big won obtained from sports betting are people known of sport betting work specially on sport they're bet.

That's only a single bet, in reality, we never know if they are in profit or at loss with their gambling journey.
one luck and might change your life, imagine, someone bet less than a dollar and wins thousands of dollars, isn't it a dream for every small time gamblers?

maybe so far many online sports gambling bets are doing 'reliable' skills and games, like Sportsbook and other sites, maybe we haven't been so lucky, like those who won some money.

Basically with many players in the world of sports gambling, especially soccer who compete and bet to win 50% of the bets they place, this is a challenge for sports gambling bettors, having to properly master every round of the game to the end, in order to win like them.
It must be competitive in order to be like them.

This is exactly the type of strategy I sometimes play on football, you can start to see it after a few bad runs for some bottom team, and then they suddenly perform miracles against a huge team. Like Watford against Liverpool.

But if you did it for Norwich this season in football, you would lose all the money as after Man City they never beat another big team. All is risky in the end!

Speaking of luck alone, we never know when our time will come, but if we continue betting, maybe one day it will eventually come.
These people got lucky because they are consistently betting, it's been part of their life already, so the time just come for them.

It's just like saying, I win to win in lottery but we are not betting.
So, if we like to have a chance to win, we should start betting now, and that is by starting to know the game first as it's sports betting, not a simple game like we usually play where are the slots and the dice, and etc.

Well, there are price to be won in bettings, but I wish lots of the betting sites/centers have fool-proof systems to prevent abuses by either the bettors or owners. We really need to be sure that those hugh amounts are won very fairly.  And I wish the very large wins for small bettors are split into more prizes for  really more  small bettors to win.

I envy with numbers 3 and 4, they won millions of pounds with just a small bet.. 

I don't really want a miracle like this to happen to me but who knows what will happen in the future, I'm just afraid too much hope it will stress me out..  ;D

I.also don't bet big amounts, that is not for me. No matter how good odds might look I don't take big risks.
It's possible to make big money with betting, there are also some examples that I know but for that you need to play big and also lose big. It's not possible to win all the time and at the end the question is how ratio between won and lost actually looks like.

It good to envy but i personally dont envy such people because they have once go through alots losses and still keeping their buzz in check before their lucky season finally arrived. Besides, im sure they will want to bet more than that but they have the money to.

Then youre yet to understand that gambling cant be see as an earning venture but game of fun and if the miracle that just your luck. This will cure the aspect of been addict or stress out.

These humans are wonderfully blessed with both
Luck
Skills
When we are talking about sports Betting biggest winners I do think we shot remember that without losers there won't be any winners out there , therefore I do think I will list out the biggest and most notorious losses:

1. Vegas Dave *cup cake* loss - 1 million
2. Michael Jordan - 1.2 million
3. Steven Richards - The man who lose whatever he won And whatever he had
4. Birdman - 1 million
5. Mathew Webb - 10,000$ in 1883

https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/guides/articles/most-famous-sports-betting-losses-history/ (https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/guides/articles/most-famous-sports-betting-losses-history/)

Oh well, after seeing Sir Charles Barkley from being one of the biggest winners, now another NBA star and but not just a star but the GOAT itself, though it's no longer a secret regarding to this gambling issue and MJ already explained that part, and with his huge amount
of billions that's just a piece of nothing to him.

I agree with that, the rule is to gamble what you can afford to lose, and I think 1.2 million usd is just a small amount for billionaires, Floyd does the same, these are the rich people in sports, so they can enjoy their hard earned money. 

Jordan is a billion dollar man. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-michael-jordan-spends-his-money-2015-3

For people that doesnt mind much into their money since they are multi-millionaires or billionaires then these kind of winning wont really be that much for them.How about on talking about their losses?

We dont know on whats behind yet we know the possibilities that they are still on negative even into those big numbers of winning.We cant be sure on how much they do have totally spend before hitting that up.

In op it do shows minimal bets and huge wins which is really needed some extreme luck to attain it plus with some mix of analysis of course.

Yes, we know ourselves better than to risk our money for something that is not good for us. We could place a small bet while we enjoy the sport, and we don't care about the result because we only want to have fun. If we use big money, we should know that the big risk will be behind that money, so we must accept the risk and take it.

Of course they have huge losses that they do not want to  inform in the public because for them it will tarnished their name. There are a lot of gamblers who became rich because of sports betting and there are also many gamblers who lose huge amount of money because of it. I do sports betting and it is not pure luck after all, there are a lot of strategies and information that a gambler should fully know first before they bet.

They wanted to protect their reputations as they can cover everything from the medias, so in terms of totallities of their losses
 it won't be spread out in full.


If lucks permits then you are good to achieved richness, while in the other side, if not expect the consequences.


Going into deep knowledge, there are ways to lessen the chance of losing into sports betting, knowing the game and the players/teams will give you hints before you bet for that certain games.

There are 3 types of gambler,  the first one is the common type which is the gamblers who want to make money from betting and that is why they are putting huge amount of money when they bet. The second type of gambler are the gamblers who seek fun from betting. They do not care about winning and losing, they just want the excitement and the feeling when they do sports betting. The 3rd one is the combination of 1st and 2nd where a certain gambler who seeks fun and want to earn money.

Putting huge amount, I think that is not common to gamblers, most gamblers are putting a small amount but want to have a big win, the reason why they lose most of the time due to the low chance of winning.


I think these people also aim to win, but they can easily let go of the loses since in the first place, their mentality was different to those who seek profit, for them, enjoy then win, and if they will not win, they would still enjoy.

Live bets seems like a waste to me as you do not really have the time to tell if the odds you are being offered are any good, I see most of those bets to be there for the compulsive gambler that wants to bet on anything and everything, for the rest of the gamblers it is better to take your time and make your bet with a few days or even a week of anticipation as this can give you a great deal of advantage especially in big events when the odds begin to move in your favour.

I think I am number two of those type because I don't search for the win money, and I think I enjoy the games and have fun with the games. I admit that if I can win some money, that will because of my luck that helps me. I don't have a big expectation of winning much money from gambling because I already think that it will be too difficult for me to win gambling.

Luck start with unexpected things to happen. Of course many wishes to win but most of the winners had been winning unexpectedly. In my case I am not good in gambling. Besides, it is better not to gamble if time is limited. For now, i have limited time to gamble but pretty soon when pandemic is over then i can have extra time for it to gamble. I was became a frontliner and my jo is crucial to minimize the transmission of the said virus creating a clean and sanitize envirnment or workplace within our jurisdiction.

You don't need to be good to win, you need luck to win especially on betting this kind of parlay bets where you put a small amount and expect a big return. This is a specific gambling which is sports betting, if you know and you love the game you are betting, you'll certainly think you are good at it.

when you hope for a win that doesnt come yet why hope for small ? when you can hope big  .  forgot that 100 dollars but push that million dollars  . 100 dollars is only a small money and we can earn that easily when we work   .

 i like it when i win fast for a few bets only  . in gambling i dont bring big capital because  its not worth it to loose big amounts just to get the amount that you want to win  . if thats the case , we can just save the money

100 dollar is achievable target but making it million will never be possible even in the whole time so be wise while setting goals while gambling. :D

And you can't really save money by gambling because its actually a place to spend our hard earned money.

Live betting is good for people who are watching the game, but haven't tried putting live bet with a very high odds, normally I do live betting and put a bet on game only and that is on either the point spread, totals, or betting SU.

We can wish to win, but we need to remember that not all wishes from us can become a reality. About gambling games, the winner will be chosen because of his luck, and even if that person has a limited time playing gambling. You don't have to gamble if you still busy with your jobs, and you need to focus on that. I am sure you will have much time in the future to just playing gambling. Please remember to take care of your health and make sure that you can wash your hand after touching anything. I hope you are fine and always healthy.

I agree with that, but it's hard to put a parlay bet through live betting as some sites does not allow it and sometimes that high odds are almost a losing bet.
Agree with you on that, that's the reason I put my pregame bet if I intend to go for a parlay bet, at least that way, I can analyze the games very well.

I guess parlay bet although challenging but you'll only win if you are really lucky compared to betting on single bet where one can win with their skills.
Combining it would give some entertainment too, I do that from time to time.

Thanks for sharing this one. I didn't know that there are, in fact such big wins out there with such small bets. That's pretty much... great and lucky of course.

Such stories are very inspiring! But as you know, these are isolated cases in a million.

And you seem to understand that it is almost impossible to win such a large amount with a small bet, but this 1% inspires and you think, maybe this time it will be me?

Yes, but if you keep trying, it you could be one of the lucky winners that will be listed in the history.  :)


Almost impossible is not impossible, so as long as there's a chance, people will still gamble, if they could buy a lottery ticket, why can't they bet on sports doing parlay if they love sports betting.

Almost impossible doesn't mean people can not win that such a large amount because I think some people can win that much money with luck. It is only a matter of time for that lucky person to win a large amount with a small bet, and maybe we don't know when that person can win those games. We might not hear that news because I think some people will not feel okay if their winning is published to the public.

Yeah right, but the possibility is really low. There is also a chance that the opposite might be the outcome.

As long as there is a chance and if you are really lucky enough to continuously win even with a small bet in your pocket. It is impossible but as you have said, almost impossible is not impossible as long as there is a small percentage of chance.

True, even there's a 1% chance of winning the game, you can still win a lot if there's complete luck on you. Those lucky persons are just few and you're definitely lucky and can win in life if you are one of those.
Having faith on your bets is also a risk, there's no such winning without risking something. Even the possibilities and probability of winning is low, we always do risk and hoping we got luck to win it.

That's given that the possibility is low because you like to win big with your small bet.
Most of the time you will lose, but just don't count your loses, keep betting and keep hoping one day you'll hit big time win.
That's the only strategy as you are mostly relying on luck here.

This happens in 1 in millions of cases and you should be that lucky to beat the rest of them. Such 1 jackpot suddenly changes your life and the perspective towards life because all your debts gets closed, you have good amount of money left to enjoy the way you want to leave it. Just bet the best you can and leave the rets to the luck.

in the world of gambling no one can guarantee good luck all you can do is just hope to win the game and get the jackpot and most importantly you must be able to hold your emotions and maintain your patience.

The word gambling means no guarantee, that's the straight definition of it, and we are taking the risk when we are gambling and it's just actually based on the chance of winning. Try to bet on dice, and put a 99% winning chance, you can't still guarantee you'll win.

This list is for those who win, but there will be a long list of losers. :D
Of course, these are the luckiest people who have won such a huge amount of money, I wish my name should also be on this list next time.
Although this is a matter of luck, will these people still play gambling?

Everyone would like to be on that list but yes, such winners are very rare. Losses happen much more often but everyone dreams to find themselves among these few lucky fellows and experience the big touch of luck. Every time we gamble we hope fot big winning that would change our lives but unfortunately very few will really experience something like that in their lives.

Thats true, being a big time lucky winner is not for everyone.

But I never lose hope in sports betting though im not often play. In this game I experienced to win few times, its just shows that im not really a loser (because I have no luck in dice but thats my favorite) in gambling.

Nevertheless if you're destined to win even with small bets then you will gonna win.

How I wish I could also be a jackpot winner in casinos someday.

Yeah, winning a jackpot is all about luck and not purely just relying on the strategy. But it is to think that they spend a lot in gambling and they have enough money to fund with which makes them near to win the jackpot unlike many of us who only just go for casinos/gambling online for just a few hours. Because I'd find that luck won't just come in a while and ask for it, but it comes momentarily.

I remember, that one time i bet around 5 bucks on marathon event (i hope everyone understand it correct - few events and you win only if all events success) with an odd x31 . Was funny, tho  ;D

Despite profit was not a big in terms of amount, but the fact that such thing happened to me was pretty amusing. The probability of winning was lover than 1 percent i remember. And another time i won a marathon with x16.5 odd .

Your name will be on that list if you have lucky, but unfortunately, to win that big money, we must have luck as them. If I were him, I would not play gambling for a while, and I will enjoy the win money with my family. Maybe I will play gambling in the next month or next year when I have a passion for playing the gambling games.

Actually there was a guy named TheFinalizer on stake who was betting like 5-10 bitcoins bet per roll and while these type of gamblers who roll high are rare but they do exist and that guy rained a lot in the chat so he must be winning too.


Even I bet small and play for fun but when I loose there is actually not so much fun because if I am making a bet I have hopes on it and somewhere consciously I know that I would be winning so when it loses there is not so much fun.

I don't know how people hit such high amounts like winning £500,000 on a £0.30 bet is just crazy and I would die of heart attack if I hit something like that lmao.

That's how luck performed, changing the directions of your destiny, If you are permitted to have that luck the same thing that
 those names who are written from the list, it's gonna be a biggest opportunities to take advantage.
Most of those big winners that comes from small bets are enjoying the luxuries
that's every gamblers  dream hitting the jackpot.

I'm so surprised by this one 4. Fred Craggs – £1 million on a £0.50 bet, it's like hitting a big lotto jackpot he doesn't seem to be a big bettor because he only bet £0.50 on 8 horses he supposed to win £ 1.4 million but he only allowed to withdraw £ 1 million because that's his betting shop's maximum payout, this is one hell of a jackpot.

An interesting topic, it's a pity that I didn't see it before. I would like to see another selection called "10 Years Later"  ::) So that you can see how these people used their wealth (of course, such a selection should not include initially rich people who made large bets).

Actually, in sportsbetting, the likelihood to win is very high if you know the sport by heart, the teams and the individuals involved. In my experience, I have more luck in winning in sportsbetting rather than playing dice or crash or plinko. For those who won such huge amount, I hope they are enjoying the luxury of it and not use it for unnecessary things. But I am betting, a lot of them are still in gambling. Because in all honesty, gambling is really addictive if you don't know how to control it.

But unfortunately, people seem to tend to follow other people's tips, and they don't search for other news to know if those tips will good or not. Those people place a bet based on the other people say, and even they will use big money to bet. You are right. Gambling can be addictive if we don't know how to deal with gambling. We should know that we need to enjoy gambling and don't drag too deep into gambling because that can make us addicting.

That's correct and when I visit stake I usually see chat and there are people winning like 0.1 bitcoin from 0.001 btc bet on slots or sports and I feel like why not try my luck but then I have to think logically that there are more than 50k members on there and winning such bets are hardly 4-5 members per day approximately which means chances of me winning such bets are 1/1000 and hence not worth chasing such odds.

I have seen people winning 100-200 odds live in front of my screen so I cannot even say these are just fake and made to lure the players into gambling with high odds.

The best chance you ever have of hitting high multipliers is actually on sports bet parlays.

Yes, betting on parlay gives you a little chance of winning only, but as you see there are people who really win, then I guess that tells it's not impossible to win and maybe your luck will come at the right moment. Risking what you can afford only is advisable, it doesn't matter how much as you can even bet less than a dollar because most crypto sportsbook allows that.

I just put a bet of 0.5 mbtc on a parlay bet on sports in my sportsbook and they accept it, that's half a dollar price.

That high multipliers section in Stake sportsbook is disturbing for low rollers but sometimes it is possible to be motivated too. Depending on the gambling experience, pyramid betting can give the same return as in parlay betting if the gambler can make the right choices in sequence.  Losing what you can afford to lose is the best form of keeping yourself clean from the debt because not all stories have a happy ending in the gambling industry. 

What do you mean exactly by "more luck"? You mean you are winning more often by betting or you mean you are winning more money?
It's different. It's not very hard to win often in betting if you gamble on small odds, but the gains are very small too at the end, if any...  :-\

Parlay are usually played with low roll but with high odds, so this is good for low roller as they might be inspired on trying to aim high.


Not sure what you meant by pyramid betting... parlay betting has its rule, if you lose one leg you lose your bet, that's why it's very challenging.

I guess he wants to say that he can win more in sports betting than winning in dice or crash or plinko. Maybe he can get legit information in sports betting, so he can choose the right team with a high percentage to win. But not all gamblers can often win in betting on small odds if they can not collect the information to choose the team.

That is obviously right, anyone that watches the game live can make live bets but as I have said I do not see the point of it, especially if you are looking to make profits, after all you are not going to have the time to analyze if a bet is good or not or what kind of odds you are being offered by the casino since you are not going to have a lot of time to think about your bets, and we know that in the case of sports betting the house edge can vary wildly and you do not want to make a bet in anything that has a house edge otherwise your chances of beating the casino become minimal.

Always bet on favorite ones then you will surely have higher rate of winning which do normally happens but we know that upsets do happen this is why its really risky

to make up all-in bets just because you do focus out that theyre been favorite out by majority but doesnt ensure nor give a guarantee win which do most people believe on.

But comparing it up to dice when winning big amounts then nothing beats out in sports betting and of course it does need analysis.

Selecting the favorite will not be easy because we need to collect the legit data from everywhere. If we can have that data, it will no need too long to have the favorite team. I never recommend using all-in bets because that can risk your money, and even if you have valid or legit data and the percentage to win is high, that still too risk because the situation changes every time. If we compare dice and sports betting, I think sports betting will have a much higher percentage to win, but you must have the information to choose the right team.

Those people that have bet with centavos and then won 500k euros - 1M euros are the real lucky people.

Is there any way to know how they're living today or how they've spent those wins they got?

I don't see any house edge on casino, but that's just for me.

You are not being against a casino when you put your bet on sports, you are betting against the bettors, casinos just take a portion of your winning which is the juice, normally 5% to 10%, depending on the sportsbook, but for me, normally I do bet on odds high that +100 so I don't have to pay for the juice.

Maybe you can google those shared names and read more about them, for sure there's information about how they are living now.

I remembered news about lotto winner but ended up nothing again, he spend
all his winning money to all luxurious vices and now he again back being I'm not
sure if he's a garbage collector or something.

Ofcourse.
I wonder though if you are suggesting that those who won such amounts (specifically those who weren't rich before the huge wins) may not be able to properly utilize the huge wins? I think It depends on people(assuming you think they might not use the money well). I am confident that not all big bet not-formerly-rich winners misuse their huge wins. By the way, I think if people are possibly worried about misuse, they could help teach such winners how to use their wins properly.

This is not of our business actually, most of them are real gamblers, they will continue gambling even if they win a big amount.
It's not that they only bet on parlay solely, but this is just a side bet as they are focus on winning with their most decent bets, some of them might have retired and enjoyed a good life, while some still got bankrupt because of gambling, but for me, I don't really bother knowing more, it's enough that I know someone could win this much in gambling.

Mostly money being made from thin air will be easily to spend because it is not been made of hardwork. But if money earn is from hardwork then pretty sure all money will be hold. I can see that others too are doing well in winnings. Some were able to make a project from their winnings or invest it into somethinh solid land investment or gold or even business. I have seen others too that are now successful.

I've searched for them but it's hard to find out the update for those wins.

I have looked for one of them and he has a twitter account but, I only want the specific update but if there's none, well I won't be asking for more and specific like that.

That's because most of the gamblers does want to keep their lives private.

On the list in the OP, I only know Charles Barkley and Billy Walters.

Billy has lots of youtube videos you can search but update on his current life, I've never seen one, the video is even old.
Maybe on Charles we will know as he is still active in the NBA now as commentator.

Logic dictates that. Hard earned money is much to keep than money that came from something like this.

When you have such luck and you are responsible you will make something good from this money, and make things different from your precious life status,

while if you just a simple happy go lucky person you'll
soon lose everything as you will spend most it from vices and luxuries.

Sports betting is good a gamble. It helps especially if you know the value of discernment, about how the game works and who is most likely is going to win. Some follow tips of other players, some do research, analysis, formulate strategies and some are just lucky. Needless to say this is gambling.

Everyone definitely wants to be the biggest winners, like the winners mentioned in the opening post are really very lucky people.
With a small capital they are able to make million dollars, and this makes me even more excited in playing sports betting.Hopefully
my luck is big enough to be the biggest winner.

Except that guy because he's known.

But no need to do that, there is no need to ask for more about them. I'll just hope that they're all doing good and made their lives better as they spend those huge amount.

I wish the same success, while some are winning millions or almost millions of dollars with just a little wager, if we look at the opposite side, we are also millions in total who are aiming to win millions and we are spending a small amount of money for the parlay bet, so casinos still continues to make money from us. If we will not count that loses, then it's okay as we can also forget a $1 lose but we will never forget if we win even $100, 000 for that bet.

I hope you can be one of the next people who can win a lot of money as those people. But you must know that we need to have luck, and we also need to know the luck itself will not come if it's not at the right time. We can still play gambling with a little money, and we can hope that in one day, we can be the biggest winner. But don't be greedy and chasing the win money if we think that we don't have a big chance to win. It is better to stop gamble and take a rest for a while.

How can you win that big money if you'll not going to push your luck?

If luck permits you to win that huge amount it will come along the way and you will see the benefits.
Though its really luck alone and no pattern to win that jackpot, but if its time for you it will happen
no matter what.

It's pretty much similar to betting in a lottery, sports betting is just fun as you can analyze your pick while in lottery you are just picking it randomly or your favorite numbers, still, both have a lower chance of winning but it's possible to win.

This just proves that even on a small bet, you can win a big prize. When you are lucky, then luck is all yours no matter what amount you place on bet. The list was very fascinating to see most specially looking at the 10th place on the list because just to imagine how lucky he is on placing a very small bet compared to the other people on the list but he still have won a pretty big amount of prize. Imagine among the 25 list, he have make it into the top 10 biggest winners.

This is really a dream of every gamblers to make a big win even at a small price bet or we can say playing on large bet but still winning a very big amount of price to fulfill the amount spent on gambling. But what we can really say in here is that winners on gambling mostly have the true luck on their side. Gambling games is a game of probability, chances and as well as luck that can be somehow be make used of strategies to win. If you did not win now, try again the next time but just play on proper moderation to keep up playing towards winning and not on debts.

woah ? you mean you can win often  ?  you dont need to win big money that way but  your small frequent winnings are enough to make you a millionaire in the future only if you will know how to save  .  for me that doesnt have a massive luck like yours pushing my luck wont be a good idea imo because that also equals to more involvement on gambling  .  i already loose enough trying win small , how much more if i try to win big by betting on higher odd games

I think the main reason is that those who have never had big money have no experience with it. It is obvious that the structure of expenses for an ordinary person and a multimillionaire is very different. If a millionaire spends 20% of his income on food (as an ordinary person does), then he will die from overeating on the very first day  ;D If an ordinary person who has become (accidentally) rich cannot independently understand that everything has changed and it is necessary to act differently (radically change the structure of expenses, etc.), then he quickly loses money.

No, I don't win many times as other people. If we can save the win money as you say, I am sure that we can have a lot of money. But as we don't win too much like others, we will not have a big chance to save that win money because we can not win many times and much money. I also use small money to play, but in a day, I don't win many times, and even I lose that money. But the good from me is I can prevent myself from using more money to gamble because I know that if I continue playing gambling, that will make me lose more money.

Off course, every gamblers dream is to win big, but to me I haven't found myself to be lucky bettor because I loss every time eben if u changed strategy so I quit the battle of becoming the biggest winner. I really think its a matter of luck, consistent playing, and hopefully to hitbbug someday.

I suppose it depends on your perspective but if a casino takes a portion of your bets to me that is the house edge, it is true that you are not competing against the casino when you bet on sports but still they do not offer their services for free so we may call it a fee instead if that is what you want but the end result is the same, you do not earn as much money as you could have in the case such a fee or house edge was not in place.

Per definition, that could be a house edge too, but you can prevent from paying the juice if you bet on a team with odds at least +100 or higher.

And for sure, they also lost a huge chunk before hitting it big. We may be seeing their winnings here but there's more than meets the eyes here. Maybe most of them lost huge money thru the years they are betting. Of course most of them will not disclose it. But I do believe that the chance of winning is higher in sportsbetting than luck-based games. If you know the sport by heart, you have good chance in winning.

Not all of them actually, on the list, 5 of them bet big and won big while the other 5 bet a small amount to win a big amount.
These winners who bet a small amount to win a significant amount, they are the ones that are so lucky but I don't think they can make it twice, it's unlikely for a gambler to win jackpot twice, if they are not totally a regular gambler, they can enjoy that winning to start a business and they can thank gambling for the fortune (if they can call it that way).

Better to do that once you had been given the opportunities, winning huge out from the jackpot it's not usual and you should keep
in mind that there's no another opportunities so make sure to use the money the right way.

Those other 5 who used huge amount of money to win really take the big risk and it's been  paid back.
They usually coming back and try even more with new strategy trying another luck will comes out for them.

they are on the list because their wins are not usual or did stand our among common bets/wins that we see .

 its possible that they have bet too much before they end with that results and we dont know if what they were doing after the publish of these wins .  if you are a regular gambler , you will play if you have a capital but for those that isnt playing for a long time but got lucky to win big , they will stop and spend the money wisely .

Wrong.

If they can control themselves, they know how much they will be spending with their wins. Control doesn't mean you'll completely stop but you'll moderate with the activity.

but those gamblers will be addicted when they already feel a lot of profit then they will try to increase their capital and the risk of losing all their assets will be higher, so that gambling addicts will do whatever it takes to try to get a lot of profit even though no one guarantees a profit .

If one knows when to stop and when to play, then should not be a worry point because they will always be a balanced while gambling it. The issues occur when somebody who just want to keep wining and want to make money in gambling which does not happen always in this way. And those users are such addicted that they will even borrow from others just to gamble in anticipation they can recover and win which may or may not happen.

As long as they can control themselves.

They can't be addicted to it.

If they are moderate to what they do, they won't go further and become an addicted gambler.

One of the things that matters more in this is its sustainability. I realized (while wondering the sustainability of "small bets, big wins") that you will need a large number of small bettors betting with thesame small amounts to make the huge prizes sustainable/possible. Or you could have not-too-many people of different economic statues to bet what they can afford to lose, to make prize sustainable. The latter probably won't be that fair to wealthy/"big" bettors if they are not given bets with higher chances of winning. A charitable betting would just give both the rich and poor bettors equal chances of winning despite the bet sizes

Hi guys, thank you for participating in the discussion, but I think it's time to close the thread as I am already satisfied with the discussions we made here.
Hopefully one day, we will be listed to be one of the luckiest gamblers int he world, we should not lose hope as long as we gamble.

TY again.  ;D (locked)
