Mine was $10,000 to win $900,000. During that time I turned $70,000 into over $2,000,000. But I developed a gambling addiction (blackjack, roulette, crazy time which caused a lot of losses). :(

Recently I tried to turn 0.05 BTC into 1.7 BTC to pay for medical school. In the process I lost 0.2 BTC which was all of my BTC. I believe I am a good sports bettor (for a girl) but I am not good under pressure. When I turned $70,000 into $2,000,000, it was only a smaller amount of my overall bank.

Biggest win: https://i.ibb.co/Vx2QSLj/screenshot.webp (https://ibb.co/XDS3sW2)
Bet ID: https://stake.bet/sports/home?iid=sport%3A97821755&modal=bet

For now I am going to try and save up the 0.2 BTC I stupidly lost this month. But there is no way I will ever save up $140,000 for school.

I want to know what the biggest win you guys ever won is and if you actually put it towards something useful and didn't just gamble it away like me. :-\ Could be a house, car, school! :) I had more than enough to pay for medical school or pay off my debts, but I fell victim to rigged casino games. :-\ I don't think I will ever go to medical school actually, which makes me cry (a lot) because it has always been my dream. But the reality is sinking in that time is running out for me (23 yrs old).

Hopefully this post is helpful in some way. If you have won a lot, please withdraw!!! Also don't rely on sports betting or casino to fund important stuff like school, you'll regret it like me! :)

The highest odd that I have won before was over 7 odds. But I use small amount of money which was not more than $10 at the time to win $79.

You posted it on this board that you want to bet with 0.05 BTC to win 1.7 BTC. We told you not to do so that you need to get the money from somewhere else but you did not listen and lost 0.2 BTC. I thought you said you needed 1.7 BTC . Why not use the 0.2 BTC for it instead of betting?

I remember you from the last post and from the advice we gave to you. Now you regret your actions because you lost. Would you still have regrets if you had won? I do not think so.

I know there's a knucklehead out there who's is reading your topic and saying to himself this cannot happen to me.  I would go ahead and bet or gamble to raise money for whatever issues that he or she may be facing. This story  more often  turns out to be. The house will always win. The odds are not in your favour. Gamble for fun and entertainment and not as a medium to fundraise.

Have been gambling for quite a long time now and had made numerous wins which right now can't recall my biggest win of them all, but I do have the attitude of getting myself something nice each time I win a bet not minding how small or big the amount won I make sure I gift myself an item or use that money to meet a need.

People will often celebrate and jump for joy when there stupid action luckily materialize in their favour against refusing to accept great advise. They only get to realize that their action was stupid only when it fails and backfire at them. Definitely, you're in the right, she won't have regretted her act if she had won.

Mine was $2 to turned to $1,400, it was just a 2 leg parlay but each bet has huge odds. That was my biggest win in gambling AFAIR. I actually still keep trying to hit a huge odds with a parlay but after that win, I'm losing my bet continuesly, so it's just really the luck that make it happen. I like betting on huge parlay because with just $2, that could turn into big money, just like betting a lottery but 2 leg parlay IMO has a higher chance of winning. 

When you created the thread of using 0.05btc to win 1.7btc, most people advise you not to place the bet but you didn't listen because you wanted to double your money in order for you to have more than enough, but gambling is not like that. This is because it all boils down to luck, you might be lucky today and that does not mean that you will be lucky tomorrow. Now that you have gambled with the money that you were suppose to use for your medical education is when you are regretting, because you have used gambling to chatter your dreams.

I have only one big once and I withdraw it but I could not use the money for something nice, which makes me feel bad whenever I remember how I spent that money. No worries anyway because such is life and when we don't listen to advise, we learn in a hard way. I believe most addicted gamblers learnt their lessons in a hard way before they could overcome addiction.

Mine was on 5 odd, this was the recent one i could remember after which i used 15 dollar in playing the bet, i won and was surprised because i never expect it coming, i withdrew it and use the winning for other things, later i still make some wager into my casino wallet and continue gambling, in most cases, each time i see that i won a bet, what i often do is  to withdrew the money and use it for a specific purpose and then later source for more funds to gamble with.

A student like you, possibly getting so much money and spending the on gambling. You should try to find something that has less risk to use your money for. You might be lucky to have earned so much at an early age but spending them satisfy your gambling addiction, will lead you to even more loss. Try find something like investment and put your funds into it. Maybe then you will be able to attend medical school.
Well, regarding your topic, I've won some considerable amount on gambling before most especially on sport betting. And if I remembered correctly, I spent the money buying some digital accessories.

I don't remember the exact odds but I once won about $0.50 about $40 in a local lottery game. And I've won twice at different times, but maybe I'm not a gambling addict who looks for opportunities from it, even though I've heard many success/failure stories of everyone. But that's everyone's story, and for me, gambling should be seen as a comfortable way to relax rather than pressured with the goals it brings, but it's true that the life experiences we get are different so I don't have to express my opinion on what someone should do, but in this space what I see with players is the responsibility behind their behavior.

What I don’t understand to your narrative is you mention that you using only small portion of money when you turn this 10K to 900k and 70K to 2M which means you have a solid bankroll even before.

Why you are now keep relying on gambling to save for your meds school while you have the capacity to save money from whatever shit you are doing back then. Are you a streamer or some sort that earn a lot of money. Betting 10K on a 90+ odds only means that you can afford to lose that bet probably due to your high bankroll.

Well I guess winnings are subjective, am I right? lol- anyway, back in 2015 when Dota 2 was still a relatively new game, they introduce these so-called "keys" where you can open crates that you can get from playing games. The only way to receive these keys is through purchasing it directly with the Valve shop for $2.49 each OR you can also trade your in-game skins to other players for a certain number of keys.

Basically, the economy of Dota 2 revolved around these keys where it was the main currency in determining the value of each skin. When Dota2lounge was new and lots of people were casting their votes on which team would win, I was able to turn my $1 worth of skins to around $350 in a matter of 2-3 weeks. I had the time of my life given that $350 was really a huge money during that time especially that I live in a third-world country.

Fast forward, I traded my $350 worth of skins to around ~160 keys and I downloaded this bot on Steam where you can play blackjack against the bot and you would win keys in return. I wagered 10 keys at first and won like 100 keys in a day. So in total, I had 260 keys (~$650); but I lost them in a single day when I experienced this consecutive losses and I thought I could recover them by betting again.

My biggest win was a life changer. It did not happen online, but even before the advent of the internet, I was in partnership with my brothers when we won 3 tickets for second prize in a number game, which was worth $5000. That was such a huge amount back then in our local currency, and we were able to renovate our house with the money.

We only bet $10 worth of tickets. We used a combination of the family's favourite numbers to come up with the winning numbers. I don't remember the combinations, but from then on, I realised that you could make money from gambling if you hit the jackpot.
We still bet after that jackpot but we never duplicate our winnings since then.

As I always used to practice gambling as a recreational activity, so I have not had any luck winning large sums of money. The largest amount I won ever was $100 that I got more than two years ago, but I make small profits that I spend all of it on bets to try out the features of the platforms I visit. The benefit I get is accumulating experience in dealing with gambling platforms in general, which qualifies me to participate in discussions on various social platforms and help others.

Well, I can say that I am not the best customer of gambling platforms, and if all players were like me, all platforms would shut down.   :D

I had no interest in the gambling industry before the integration of cryptocurrencies. Because I am convinced that the gambling industry was one of the most important sectors that helped spread crypto culture, so I will not stop supporting it.

The biggest win ever was under $200 because I never bet a lot of money after the winnings were withdrawn and then set aside another $20 for the next parlay bet.

But I never rely on gambling to want something that is wanted like what you said especially to pay for school then for us it is impossible to do from gambling, maybe the victory you are lucky or indeed good at analyzing the team to choose but I do not dare enough to bet a lot of money.

I have no big regrets in gambling, so to pay for anything it is always set aside from the monthly salary.
If you have bet a large amount of money, it means that you are already addicted, especially to pay for medical school.

I withdrawn it and I won 3000 dollars,I learned the hard way to start collecting money after suffering consecutive lost sessions.I used to go up to even 50.000 dollars but because of greed I lost it all and that was a golden lesson for me to stop gambling and take any amount that is substantial win.I never keep playing again when I see that I am in substantial profit I immediately withdraw the money.The problem is that winning sessions are hard to come across nowadays.

The user is obviously someone who likes to learn from their own experience, I am not happy that you learnt the hard way by having to loose money first, but it is good that you lost because if you had not lost, it would have invalidated all the good advice that you were given not to take such a risk, and then other people who will read your success story will be motivated to take such risk too. If you need money for something important you have to work for it and not depend on gambling because gambling is not a source of income

Everybody learns the hard way and as I said I am also one of them.Every time we get some lost session it is either a lesson for us or rage to continue with more greed which 99.99% of the times make us lose even more money.It is nice to see that are people who have the strong self will to stop gambling when they can and to learn from their own mistakes.The more experience we have as I am feeling this personally the better we can behave in gambling,not only on sport betting but also in slot machines play.In fact slot machines from what I have seen if you keep changing your bet every single time it will make them behave strange enough to give you huge wins sometimes,while every time I keep playing with the same bet I have always lost it all,this is just my experience,nor a strategy nor an advice.

Some members here actually warn you towards the believe you had about turning 0.05 BTC into 1.7 BTC but you didn't listen, if you had listened, you will not have lost 0.2 Bitcoin.

I have not really had any significant wining in gambling but for the little amounts I have been wining, It was very useful to me while I was yet in school because I used some wining I got then to purchase some textbooks, used some of the money for feeding and some other little things that really did matter to me back then.

The truth is that OP is something that is out of bounds, I don't know how he does it but he does it, I say that there are people who are born with a gift and if it is winning in a casino, well I think he is one of the best in the world However, with this type of people when they have this type of earnings, they do not need to work hard to get money, I think my maximum earnings have been 200usd, from there no more, because I do not bet a lot of money, it is always little, it is 10usd , the truth is that it scares me because I have a lot of expenses and a lot of responsibilities, so I can't think about making big bets, but I think OP's story is excellent, it's very motivating.

Your numbers, OP, make me think that you live somewhere in a parallel universe since spending such amounts is simply insane for me. Perhaps I know little about the passion of such players, but let me ask you: what amounts did you start with so that later you were able to turn in millions? But there is a harsh reality, and as you write, your learning may not happen at all if you are suffering from addiction. This needs to be urgently treated, and one day you can turn your dream into reality because sometimes everything can change, not in the direction of a good and successful life. But if I answer the question from the topic, I can remember amounts within three hundred bucks; everything above is probably prohibited for me ;D

Someone who can wins much money but not stops from playing gambling immediately can lose all of that wins money because they can't see the reality that they will still difficult to wins in gambling. I don't wins much money but I can accept that because I realizes that wins in gambling is not easy and I don't wants to lose more money. But if people out there can wins much money, they must withdraw their wins money before it's too late and they lose that money. They must be wise with their wins money because they have many things to fills and if they lose that wins money, they can't fills their needs. They must not placing the bets more than they can afford to lose because once they lose, they will regret of what they have done. That's why we must be careful when playing gambling.

Most gambling games available to gamblers are biased against gamblers if you play you will lose. However for some people the thrill of the game is addictive and they end up betting money they can't afford to lose, like rent money. I think in gambling the probability of big bet is very low if a person is lucky enough to win once but many people can't handle the temptation of winning then they lose everything by re betting. It is better to withdraw after winning than to lose then you can do everything according to your needs with that money. If greed works inside you will lose everything it is better to enjoy the money than to feel regret.

Retaining money after winning is an important matter. Many gamblers win big but fail to keep the winnings. Many win big but don't get to enjoy that money. Some withdraw money and spend their winnings and some didn't use their winnings in any proactive work. A gambler will not always win in gambling, so it is better to invest the winnings in some profitable business. There are some who increase their bankroll and at some point lose the winnings quickly if they become addicted gamblers. I had some big wins in gambling. I divide that money into several parts and use it. However, that is not always the case. For those who play Crazytime or Roulette, it takes much less time to lose money than to win quickly.

My biggest win was $500 and I withdrew it as quickly as I could. I would never go as far as what you did because for me that is a crazy number that I cannot afford to lose. I'd rather use that money to buy houses and rent them out to people or just buy them while it's still cheap and sell them for a good price in the future. I mean, investing in real estate has always been a good idea.

That money you lose is a good amount, you could've done something better with it. In my opinion, it's okay to gamble but we should never go too far that it would affect us mentally and financially. You got addicted to gambling, that's a sign that you must take control of yourself again or else you might lose more in the future. Good luck to you.

Well, you are not wrong that gambling is more about losing, but that doesn't mean gambling games are biassed towards that because you are saying that those platforms are rigged or what. Although gambling is more about losing, there's still a chance of winning, but the percentage is too low, especially for those gambling games that rely solely on luck, for example, roulette, slot games, and many more games that you will not use any mind or decision on; you will just stake based on what you feel is the winning pick. That's why, for me, in order to enjoy playing gambling and at the same time increase the chances of winning, I only play gambling games that use mind games, strategic decisions, and such, for example, gambling games with cards, black jack, poker, and many more. It's more thrilling to play gambling games with opponents because it's so satisfying to outsmart them and win, and at the same time, the exciting feeling is too great.

If I remembered it correctly that was around $2.5k and unfortunately I wasn't able to withdraw or at least enjoy the amount because I became greedy that I did expect for more. Eversince, I started limiting myself not only on loss but also with profit. There are just times it would be best to just bag the profit because it is not something that will  happen on a daily basis. But it's just the feeling which I guess is normal; you'd be so hyped and thrilled of making it come and then end up with regrets if things did the opposite, which us more often being anticipated. Be preventive of situations you will never wish seeing yourself on.Problem is with people who are thinking that after winning an amount could give them more rewards.

Two reasons why some people make mistakes in gambling are either because they are newbies who don't have a good understanding of what gambling is really all about, or because some people are just so forward in such a manner that they think gambling will always go according to their predictions. A gambler should stake the amount they can afford to lose and have the mindset that gambling is not an occupation or a sustainable income source. If you get a cash out and you feel it is a is a huge amount, then cash out and leave rather than risk losing all the money plus the staked amount. Although every gambler can never have the same lifestyle,.

I like the fact that you are accepting good responsibility for your actions, but your quite stubborn considering all the advice you were given not to take that bet, anyway my biggest bet was 50k on 10 odds, it was money I got from my sis wedding, in my country they usually throw money on the bride and I was also around that area, so I just picked a whole lot of money for myself  ;D, and I used it to gamble on 10 odds, my first time to take such risk and It played well out for me, I used it to get my first phone and my mini studio, that all never used such amount ever since then.

Yes, someone who wins much money can becomes greedy easily because he wants to gets more money, more than the money he gets before. He thinks that he can wins more in gambling but that will not happens easily as he will not thinks that playing gambling will not gives the wins to anyone, especially to those who doesn't have luck. He must realizes that he must always limits his money in gambling to prevents the big lose and the will to keeps playing gambling because that can gives him a big chance to keeps wins in gambling. No matters how big our wins, we must hold ourselves not to keeps playing gambling instead stopping our gambling activity immediately. Many people proves that keeps playing gambling already makes them lose much money so we must carefully to decides and don't thinks that we can wins in the next rounds if the situation is not good for us.

The only thing or win i could remember is on winning from $100 bet to $1000 on which this is something that is remarkable on my gambling experience in my entire gambling session.
Most of the time im really that losing that much and that why i dont really care much already when it comes to the wins that i do able to experience because i do know deep inside that im still
that in negative on the moment that i would really be having those winnings. In short, im already getting used to it. There are moments or times that i do able to make out
some good cash out decisions on which i have purchased some gadgets because of it but most of the time im really that playing all of those balances until it bust.

Being responsible is a must not only on the time that you would really be cashing out your winnings but also on the moment that you would
really be needing up to take up some decisions in speaking about control of your loses or simply having that kind of moderation when it comes into your
gambling session on which this is something that you must consider.

I can't imagine making $2,000,000 from gambling and then losing it all back, that is some serious addiction because you could possibly do everything with that money. Even if you wanted to gamble more, you should have done it with a portion of it and should have used the other portion for things such as starting a business or making investments, you could buy a few Bitcoins and keep them for the future because the price of Bitcoin would go higher in the future for sure.

I'm not a high roller nor do I gamble regularly, so I have never won anything significant. I don't even remember winning anything over $1,000 from gambling because I gamble for fun and when I gamble for fun, I barely make high bets because my aim is not to get a lot of profit from it but just to have some fun and entertainment.

I understand your addiction because lately I have been falling on roulette with trying to hit multipliers of x50-x1000 on Evolution. Also crazy time, damn, I also hit a lot of good runs on them but now I'm also down.


Gonna be hard not just for you, specially you already admitted that you have fallen into addiction already.


I remember winning a $10 in slot and turn it into $4000k. That's one of the biggest won as far as I can remember and I uses some of that money to buy gadgets for my kids and myself. And it was a string of successive wins after that, easily winning $2k in matter of minutes the next day and the next.


Best of luck to you, I do hope that you follow your dreams of going into medical school and finished. Just think about your future though so that you won't fall into gambling and make your life worst since you are still very young.

Sorry for your losses. You can still make it to medical school if you can put yourself together and control your gambling life. Your post is indeed helpful to me especially because it shows the need to apply self-control if we want to achieve our dreams. We should place our career or other important things above gambling if we want to succeed. Anyway, I am not a high-income earner and I also take minimal risk. My highest bet was about $10 and I was fortunate to win $170. I withdrew it immediately to take care of a pressing need. Keeping your wins in a casino can lead to overgambling if one is not careful.

This is the problem most gambling addicts have which is seeing gambling as a mean source of revenue. Depending on an unpredictable venture for important things like medical bills, school fees, house rent, etc will only likely lead to frustration and disappointment.

The life of a gambler, I can't just imagine the amount up to $2,000,000 that the Op have won before on gambling, and I believe most of the money was also lost back to the casino. Right now, someone who was a millionaire can't even afford to pay for $140,000 medical school bills, that's really something only gambling and few wrong decision can do. 
 
Advising him to go look for something else to invest money on might be a total waste of time as such advice was given to him on his first thread where he wanted to turn 0.5btc to something large which he later lost part of it before coming bank for this particular thread, so I don't think he is ready for any form of investment rather he should focus on minimizing his gambling habits and look for real job that can distract him from gambling.

I don't think I ever went past $5k really. Not that I expected more, I've only been betting on low odds ever since. Didn't have the balls to actually bet on higher odds and I didn't really want to go past a certain point, not until I was more capable of earning more at least. Still not there but hey, slowly grinding my way out of this is hellhole.

Addiction is understandable, especially if you won that much lol. The thrill can be overwhelming to the point where your brain just shuts down. It's also why I just give up on trying to actually withdraw the money whenever I win since it always just ends up getting gambled away. Not that I've ever experience winning as much as you though, but hey, the feelings almost the same, if not the same already.

In my case, in the past, something that has been going on for many years, I had the great luck to make a multibet bet with games that I didn't even analyze because at that time I didn't know how to analyze the games and I was very angry because I had lost 90% of the value of my bankroll. and then all I thought about was just making that bet and stopping playing for good, it was my last bet and I didn't even count on being able to get my bet right, I just chose the games at random and placed a bet and managed to get it right and with that big victory I managed to recover all my losses and I ended up with a lot of profit, I confess that it was something good that even after more than 4 years I can still remember. but currently I haven't put much money into my bets

I guess you have to take your education very seriously though, just take it from someone who almost didn't finished my college and my parents and siblings have to make a lot of sacrifices for me.

So don't look at gambling as something that will sustain you all throughout in life. As there is a saying, just work hard and study when you are young and save a lot of money. So that in the future, you can have a better life and who knows, you can still gamble and enjoy yourself.

If you are in the early stages of adulthood, you should focus on learning/ studying first and not go along with other activities that we know we can become addicted to, because it is possible to distract attention from learning and other things knowing that gambling  can easily influence other people especially if there is no self-control and is not responsible when it comes to life decisions. We can get involved in gambling if we already have our own source of income but we cannot take away our self for being responsible when it comes to decision making because that is a big factor to prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling especially when it comes to our spending habits.

God damn frenn you basically a magic player you turned $70,000 into over $2,000,000 that's fucking crazy what game you are playing. I believe that Sport game right. But you know after win Big or lose big the emotion is start take control our body and ending up losing so much money in future and I don't blame you since this also happen to mee to and if you ask What is the biggest bet you ever won? Did you withdraw or lose it? I win the biggest from gambling is 300 USD and with 0 of deposit basically this signup bonus and I made that playing mines and I withdraw it but ending up losing 75% the money though crypto futures hahah

i once gambled 3 usd and got 58 usd from it. at that time i was just playing for fun and didn't think i could win that amount, and i immediately withdrew and used the money to treat my friend to a meal.


i remember that previously you tried to bet 0.05 btc and wanted to make it 1.7 btc, but in the process you failed miserably. it has been predicted by many users before, that never put your hopes in gambling too big because it is very risky and at any time you can lose your bet. now you have experience and hope that you can use this experience to become even better in the future.

The biggest amount that I won in gambling is $500 and it's from lottery. It's unexpected since I just saw a physical betting shop at the mall while waiting for my sister then I just tried to bet since the ticket is quite cheap.

I immediately withdraw the winnings and use the money for shopping. It's a memorable experience because i'm not a fan of lottery and winning such is really a suprise for me. A lucky and special day that happened few years ago.

You are truly an addicted gambler mate , that is an insane win but more insane when you let it lose back to the gambling site  ;D ;D

My biggest win is around 2 thousand dollars but I managed to take out the 1 thousand and let the other thousand lose again.

I only use 100 dollars that time so meaning i won a total of 900 dollars in which for me is more than enough  to win against the site.

Well, the truth is that for you to have achieved such a large profit it is because you had to have risked a lot of money. When one makes or takes such a big risk and wins, I think one should withdraw everything, because it is the reward for the perseverance and good luck one had at that moment, and currently this serves to prevent something like this from happening again. When we have winnings, even if they are minimal, but it is that moment that is withdrawable, well we have to withdraw, no. We do not have to start inventing about leaving it there or something like that, we have to be consistent in that the best thing about winning in a casino is withdrawing our profits, if we leave it there it is very easy to spend it or lose it.
