We know that the World Cup started a few weeks ago. Many follow match after match and even place bets to win money.

This makes me wonder if many of you have won more money than usual. Because when compared to usual days, this World Cup provides a temptation to place bigger bets to win bigger money.

I made a poll to find out how big you are winning from this World Cup. And if you compare it to the usual day, how much is the percentage of the increase from that?

Thank you.

Note: I edit to be a few weeks ;D ( thank you for the info ).

According many trusted source, news and google, i've found same answer if World cup 2022 started from Nov 20th, which mean it already running more than 2 weeks, so i do believe it can't be called "few days" anymore.

Current world cup resulted many new countries faced on semifinal, ex. Croasia. So i think lot of people losing their money because they betted on few big names before.

I believe it's even goes negative

I’m only betting using small amount of money on promotional bet offer such as double odds or odds boost. I rarely bet on regular 2x1 pick since I have limited analysis on world cup. So far I already accumulated a total win of 200+$ by just doing calculated bets on matches that I know that it has a high success rate.

Tonights matches is tough and probably close match. This matches are typically what I’m avoiding. I only bet on match that one has clear advantage on the other. Thanks God I’m not available yesterday or else I will lose big chunk of my profit on Brazil bet.

We are still in the 2022 World Cup football party in Qatar and of course enjoying all the bets that are important matches in this event, but right now I am not making a big profit but I can still maintain my initial capital so this won't be a loss for me.
The event isn't over yet so I can't pinpoint how profitable the ball is even recently in the Portugal v Morocco and England v France matches all bets are still active so I can't sum up how much the profit will be but I'm enjoying what has been a part this pleasure.

Already edited. Thanks.

200+$? That is a nice amount ;D

At least you can calculate how much profit you have got.

It actually depends on the person's bankroll, I think you should do it by percentage so it can be applicable to all people. I don't usually place bet in the world cup or football matches as I am not really familiar with it (Familiar with the game but with the team and players are not). But I do place bet in the previous Dota 2 TI and managed to have a profit around 250-300% of my total bankroll.

If you are enthusiast of the sport event you have the advantage to analyze it easily and therefore earn good profit from it.

Not yet winning some money but I'm into a challenge wherein you could win big by predicting the winners on every phase like the knockout phase to the finals. If you get it right you win money. I'm not expecting to win this since there are already at the top of the poll but there are still more win to go before it ends.

I'm only risking a small bankroll and always going for odds between 1.5 - 2.1 so I voted for less than $100 winnings but my win loss record is probably on the losing side since I had too many losses during the group stage mainly on the first round as there was a bunch of 0-0 results. Thankfully there are a bunch of sportsbook promos that bailed out some of my losses and i'm doing pretty well so far in the playoffs so I might be close to breaking even.

i rarely bet on worldcup and just lost the small trial amount. i'd rather stay with local basketball or the boxing than the fifa as i'm not aware of who to bet except reading the picks of the users.

comparing the normal days with worldcup, i think more users are going to keep betting especially the people from a country that participates the football sport.

in this World Cup there have been so many surprises (see Saudi Arabia against Argentina or Japan against Germany) that were really difficult to predict.
 
@OP I don't think there are only "positive" accounts but also "negative" accounts! I think you should also consider this option to have a truthful survey.

Since the beginning of the world cup, I have never won much, lost mostly, especially my biggest defeat was in the Argentina match which I lost to Saudi Arabia at that time, since now I have only made small bets but have not returned much of my capital, which I have lost more , because this world cup is really unpredictable since the last 16 I have stopped betting, I lost more than $ 200 not only betting on online bets but offline too

I know the temptation to place bigger bets to win bigger money is there, especially to betting on the underrated teams for every clash because of their bigger odds. I know that the potential to win is also equal to the potential to loose my big bet, so I am usually discouraged from betting with more money than anything usual. I don't know if anyone feels like me in this competition, but I have not overcome that fear of loosing if I bet with more money.

I didn’t increase my betting rate since my funds are limited but I can say now that I already made a decent profit above $100 which I believe is already big considering my capital. Though made some losses as well especially when the top teams are not able to qualify for the next round, this world cup has been a big surprise to many so far. Now going into another round, maybe many will start to increase their bets. I’m planning to bet more on a semi-final round, that could be more exciting to watch.

So., I'm in the 100-300 bracket because I've bet only on 2 matches in the league and both times I've bet on Argentina. All things considered, I would've bet more money, but I'm one of those cautious gamblers who don't win a lot of money, but also don't lose a lot.
Good luck to all of you in the finals!

Lots of upsets in this world cup to be honest, especially with Japan cruising on the early weeks of the tournament, becoming a fan favorite, and falling off to Croatia right before the quarterfinals. That in itself brought forth a lot of losses for sure, and I don't think this world cup has been kind to long-term bettors of the said tournament before, as even the big names are losing to what appears to be "weaker" teams when they last met. I've seen some people win insane amounts of money with the help of Japan, but that's just one face of it while the rest we do not know what happened to them.

It did affect the number and amount of bets I've made compared to my previous normal bets on other sports. Mainly because I've been influenced by my colleagues, friends, and families, most of us are currently excited about watching the World Cup and they were recently introduced to online gambling by one of my family members and we are now making our individual bets depending on what we have discussed and decided to bet on. Mostly, we bet on just one country but some of us disagree and bet on the latter team.

To be honest, it's more on about having fun than getting money right now as we all now are checking and watching the matches. But still, if ever some of us will be addicted or have lost some, we still managed each other to avoid overspending or overbetting.

indeed, we have witnessed a lot of upsets in this world cup. now, i am wondering if the winner who will snatch that coveted trophy is a team not we all rooting for. so many drama but i guess, whoever wins is a deserving team. will there be a new football hero in this world cup? for sure a lot of bookies are gaining their huge profits during this event.

Your pool is making confusing the meaning of this:
>$100-$500
<$1,000-$1,000
If you make between (-) better to don't make it < or >, because greater and lesser symbols are useless, and that <$1,000-$1,000? what this, maybe 500 - 1000?.

So back to the topic, when we talk about percentages of winning, I'm pretty sure if the professional gambler was in here for a long time wouldn't share about the winning, they will silent and didn't make the noise as people did, it is something that is not important to share, that something washing time.  So if anyone here shares his winning and proof, I really sure is not more than $100.

How does making more money depends on the game events? You mean betting limit? Yes in some big casinos, for big events they increase the limit per game. Moreover if you want to increase the money from betting or from a single bet, then you need to bet on games with higher odds. If a game specifically world cup game showing high odds and and you place a bet on that and suppose you win that match, then yes you can increase your money from that bet. Hope this clears your confusion OP.

I think there are some game events that's not popular unlike the main game events, usually you can't make money out of it as there are some underdogs who are yet popular but good so it is a risk to place bet on such things and when the main event comes you would already know the skills and capabilities of the teams that was included in the main event and therefore it is easy to predict or to analyze whether they are going to win or lose so that's why some people can make more money in main events or leagues than the normal leagues.

Of course, people who believed or are fans of the Morocco national team could well earn a lot of money betting on this team, and I have no doubt that there are such gamblers in fact and I think after the WC we will learn such stories, but for now it's too early to sum up and not everyone is ready to talk about their winnings, especially if they're big.

Predicting the game now is hard. I made the right decision in Croatia vs. Brazil, which I mentioned here a few days ago

Knowing that they have a great defense and a lot of draws, I bet on it to see if it has come out well. It has, and it was a good prediction, and I'm happy about it. I don't gamble much, but I dabble with it occasionally.

Most of my World Cup bets have been pegged to my local currency as I have only used local bookmakers for now, and I can say that I have been within the range of $100 to $1000 when converted to USD, and so far, my fears have been my greatest win, particularly Morocco. Would have believed that Morocco would eliminate all of Spain, would have believed that Portugal would leave this early, I had about 5 good odds in those match combinations and I used it despite my fear, and it paid off.

I can't say these are my biggest wins, but they are easier to predict and win than the EPL, Laliga, and Champions League as they are difficult to predict and the majority of the outcomes are sometimes beyond one's imagination.

when the opening of the world cup was hesitant to bet I lost the first bet in the world cup but I had to return the money then I bet on the next match in some of the matches it made not bad than playing in the league, because I won a lot of matches in the betting group the previous world cup even though there were some losing matches i will not forget this because this world cup brought me good luck even though not much but at least enough to return the money lost before  ;)

There's many upset on this world cup, I'm not sure if there's a user who make large profit in this event. The biggest upset is Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia, Brazil lost to Croatia, Portugal lost to Morocco. There's also many upset on the group phase where Brazil and Portugal lost on the last week, Belgia and Germany lost to unpopular clubs.

Just like my experience, I didn't make profit in this event until now, but I've bet Argentina to become champion, so let's see if I can recover my losses.

Sport event provide the opportunity to bet, if there is no soccer game then you can't bet in a soccer team so the event doesn't increase the amount or chances of winning. But you as individual when you bet big and won the bet means you can win high rewards and it can happen in any days so FIFA 2022 world cup doesn't really tempted me to bet on any match.  8)

The profit I made in sports betting on this World Cup was smaller than I imagined because I rarely place bets. From the beginning until now, I can make around $ 30 because I don't use much money to place bets. But the results were good enough for me and I placed the bet and waited for the results to come out. There was an opportunity to take advantage in the mid-half but I took it too late. And we still have a few more matches and I hope it can increase my profit ;D

Maybe not all of us here have the desire to publicize the winning bet on the world cup in Qatar, because in my opinion this victory is personal, after all we are not bettors with a budget of $ 100,000, we bet only for fun and entertainment, it's different for those who bet up to millions of dollar.

In my opinion, winning sports betting is different from winning the lottery which must be published in the media, but I am sure for those who bet here in the world cup this time, There are sure to win up to $1000 maybe more, but it's not a poll that should be published, of course, they alone know the results.

Nothing at all, I didn't win anything during the world cup and you need to considering that in one of the choices in the polls.
I don't want to gamble since last months because I think we should consider investing instead of spending money on gambling. Given the market conditions that are still very supportive, I think I will maximize this opportunity when I have the money.

You all deserve to have fun during the world cup, I have a euphoria about it especially since each of us seems to have a favorite team. So I guess you should add one more answer in the poll, the result will be more accurate considering the percentage of gamblers and non-gamblers on sports betting it balances out.

to be honest my bet on this world cup is very sad. no loss no profit.
because every few times I win after that I lose again and it's always like that.
Let's take a look at a few times this World Cup match has lots of unexpected surprises, many teams that were strong last year are actually a little weak this year.
so when i won the match 3x i also lost 3x so my money is back intact.

but my plan is to bet all in in the final later.

Nah, come on. You can share $1 bets and still be proud of showing that you put money down and won something big. I do it regularly on my thread with 20/1 odd wins on just a few dollars. That's the fun and entertainment. Nothing to do with amount.

And if you're really not keen on showing your amount, you can always leave it out. I do that sometimes, lots of others do.

The plain truth in this gambling subsection is most people are just talking out of their ass to rack up posts. Threads like this are the perfect example. Majority of posters just talking and posting and I know they're not gamblers.

The sooner we admit and acknowledge that, the better. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but this is the gambling/gambling discussion subforum.

Oh, and no, this World Cup's been bad for me. Nett loss right from Matchday 2. I have actually been making up for it plenty, but Brazil gone means I'll have to take huge risks to break even, and I'm probably just going to sit in on the whole thing and wait for club football again.

This world cup has had the largest number of upsets,some of them were really big like Spain being eliminated by Morocco,also Portugal being eliminated by Morocco,Germany going out in the group stages and Brazil eliminated by Croatia while the biggest upset for me remains the game in the group stages where Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia.

Based on this number of upsets I find it difficult for many people to be in positive territory after betting unless they did bet on the underdogs like Saudi Arabia,Morocco and other teams,also Brazil lost to Cameron in the group stages so definitely the majority of people who placed bets on this event most probably are on a loss rather than in profit.

My total winnings Upto now is around 1000$, it may be a little amount to the experienced gamblers. They will target to the value of 10000$ minimum to 100000$ maximum. Because their minimum bet amount will be high and predictable one is more. So they will allow to win the bet easily and earn more from every game. Most of the team had performed as we seen in the game of different profile. Mostly the Argentina game was unique and Croatia game was unique to. Croatia was my betting team to raise my money to the 1000$ in the league and I had played the game in the very short period. But it may vary based on the time.

Gambling has different aspects.  But yes I also believe that sports is a good way to earn money . But for this one must have good knowledge about sports.  For example, those who have more knowledge about the World Cup and who are able to make accurate predictions can earn a huge of money by betting. But those whose predictions are not correct are also losing a lot of money.  So to make profit one must have good knowledge be it sports or any other gambling sector

This World Cup is a complete mess. Results are totally inconsistent, what means most people are losing money, so the minority of gamblers who are betting on underdogs can make some profit in a match or another (it's nearly impossible to bet on every correct underdogs' results, though). At this point I wouldn't doubt if Morocco won the cup anymore. Analyzes mean nothing... :P

Many had played and won less then 100$ due to their game was not enough for the winning strategy. They had not won the game by the way of doubt of winning. Because experience was the key for betting in the gambling. You should learn the background knowledge by knowing about the team and each and every player old game and current game and their fitness. If the player is injured, surely his game was good to win. So the betting on him should be low and it will the affect the people who bet on the team of injured players. Mostly it’s essential to check the new player to the game after the official announcement.

Yes, sports events can increase your money but that is if you will win but what if not? I think you will also feel a regret. So, don't always think that gambling is a way to make an easy money. In the poll, you better add an option for those who didn't place their bets because I am sure that there will always be people who didn't make it in the event. You know, the situation are tough lately.

People are in a tight budget and then many of us do also buy more cryptos after the recent market crash. While there must be people who bet a little higher because they already prepared some cash for this special event called world cup. Temptations are there but I prefer sticking on my limits only.

So the thing is that, from my understanding, weather odd is higher or lower if you want to make more money what you will do is to bet with low odd and put in higher amount of money so that it will come up a reasonable amount of money, and secondly what bet needs for you to make money is higher deposit of money, why with low ode you know that you are sure of can give you what you needed or what you expected, so it's your money that will determine
