It always isn't as easy to take a chance at something or simply put; to place a bet on the outcome of matches or games and other events and still expect a reasonable return, mostly when we know we used a greater percentage, if not all of our capital to place a bet or take a chance at that newly launched casino project or a newly launched innovation, technology, coin, initiative and hope that it would turn out to be as profitable and rewarding in the end.

Although we can dabble into reasonable and even unreasonable projects, still, one can gamble on the future which involves a human(s) we sponsor and then we pray, as well as hope that their success will be as profitable in the end as we had hope for.

So, my question is one that requires deep thinking and reflection before replying and it is this;
 what is the biggest gamble you have made so far in this 2024, irrespective of the event, scenario or category?
Or what is the biggest financial risk you have had to commit to at some point in this year because you believe it will be rewarding in the end?

Really consuming Or doing stuff that entails risk taking. Not only in betting, investing, or even personal life. Your thoughts on how to balance inert risks with potential rewards are quite direct. In 2024, millions will be able to change their financial lives. Whether it's sports betting investment into new technologies or even funding startups-it's always a gamble. Especially if the majority of the capital will be at risk.

I feel the aspect of focusing on the human element  supporting people or initiatives, adds another dimension to the topic. These individuals might not only invest in projects, but also in the capacities and potentials of others, which will often make those decisions seem more personal and impactful.

Personally speaking, the major exit for me is when you leave your comfort zone. This includes gambling, investing, and being on the lookout for new possibilities. It means evaluating the possible returns you make against the possible risks. And you? Have you taken considerable risks this year that may be worth it, or have you been relatively more cautious in your approach?

Lately, the bets I make can be controlled well, and I myself feel that this is a pretty good achievement for myself. When I have money that is not intended for something and then I have the thought of allocating it to gambling, then I bet it, but that's when I have the thought of just playing, if there is no such thought then I don't do it. In this case, what I get is that now I no longer force myself to bet even though I have more money.
Out there, there may still be people who force themselves to bet with the full hope of wanting to change their life situation for the better, but of course this tends to only make them trapped in gambling addiction. Besides, I actually have bills that I have to pay, but I don't think about hoping for gambling because the lack of clear certainty about winning makes me aware of the difficulty of getting a win or profit.

There is nothing big of a risk in my gambling activities.

I would like to correct you, just because a casino is new doesn't mean it is going to be profitable for you as a gambler, I don't have a high risk when gambling, I am used to used to risking only what I can afford to lose, if you want the number it is always $20.

Some people believe that the newer a gambling platform is the higher the chances of winning something, I don't believe this, anyone can be lucky on either old or new gambling platform and newer gambling platforms will even give you more reasons to doubt.

You will start questioning their game providers and so, maybe they are cheating or something, why not? Since they haven't built any reputations yet, and majority of new online casinos don't last long this days.

Betting something valuable and taking risks is not always related to gambling, there are many things out there that need to be bet and accept every risk that exists from what we choose in living some things in everyday life.
Everyone takes role in context like this whether they are in job that establishes cooperation or in investing and building business, all will risk something valuable and there is big risk that is in front of their eyes.
No one can really be free from an object of betting and free from risk, unless they are abnormal people, there are many things in this world and all of that will be based on what each person chooses.
As small example when I try to play the futures and bet almost most of the assets I have with very big risk, if think logically this is like someone who bets his money to gamble with all the risks that exist.

maybe the biggest risk I've taken throughout the year would be putting the highest amount I've saved into a schooling project through a source I wasn't familiar with because of the positive returns I expected to get from it. Was desperate to get the returns by all means and had no choice than using a whooping amount of money for that cause. Cut long story short, after using such amount of money, dude collected it and ate it all without using it for the purpose the money was meant to be used for. Was frustrated and angry at myself though it has now served as a lesson I've learned the had way.

Iether in gambling, investment or the circular world, risk is a part of the activities we do and you can't just take it out of your plan that you wouldn't risk anything at all. You know what they say, you risk, no gain. If you don't risk it, chances are that you wouldn't gain anything at all and you have allow somany opportunities pass you by because you're trying to play safe. As long as it's a calculated risk, loses might come at certain time but on the average, every risk I've taken always does two things to me. It's iether I learn from it or I gain from it. Whatever of them that happens ends up being an advantage to me.

I feel this will be a pleasant time to share an experience that sums up to be one of the biggest risk I have taken so far in this year and am sure not even the amount I have spent on casino games or sports betting, equals  that of which I spent in relocation and adaptation into a new environment.

Well, I had to relocate from a major city with a forced intention, upon careful consideration and weighing of variables, to another city due to work reasons, family, the standard of living, high rise of the prices of things and the economy of which has contributed immensely to the kind of challenges one would be prepared to face.

This is my biggest gamble so far, because contrary to what I was expecting before making the choice and decision to relocate, is the option to stay fresh and look ahead  for better opportunities.
This is what now lingers because the risk paid off big time and then there's peace of mind and a kind of control and power and calm and I have also seen further growth in other risk I take when it comes to sports betting  and making a note-worthy decision.

I won't disclose the biggest amount I've ever wagered on a single bet, mine was in 2024 and I risked it with the support of my wife. This was the kind of bet I had to close my eyes to bet, I wasn't even able to gamble it myself because of the feeling, it was my wife who did that on my behalf. Voila, it was successful. ;)

It was bet on a straight bet on Euro 2024, Spain to win. It's a very deserved risk and I will do it again. ;D

My biggest risk this year was a $25 bet in game of Crash and closing game tab accidentally. I was lucky that I have set cash out at 1.50 and it wasnt default x50-x100 or even more. Got some easy money, but on the other hand could have lost stupidly all of them in a second. When I think about that, I am getting curious what could a gambler do if he accidentally closes his browser, internet freezes, electricity switches off. Is there any chance to minimize such random risk factor? 

The highest amount of money that I used to bet this year is $30. I can afford to lose it and I went for it. Also I used it on parley with three matches which has been my highest because I prefer to go for a single match or parley that has only two matches.

If you also mean other areas, I do not think I go for any big risks. I know to do something moderately is better and that has been what I followed.

I think my biggest gamble in life is to work from home and it's actually fruitful. But as it goes on it becomes stressful and I think I am ready to gamble again by going back to work outside.
The problem with working from home is you are always on the internet and the urge to gamble is there. Yeah, real gambling. Sports are mostly where most of my money is being eaten. I think changing my attack should happen because last year was actually a failure due to emotional picks and when it comes to gambling, that is wrong.
Also, maybe minimize the number of sports that I bet on because recently I have been lazy with doing my research and so my bets are mostly failures. It's better if we always do our homework before making a bet and to do that, we should focus on some games only and not with so many.

My biggest gamble (speaking literally) has been to stack so many parlays with the outcome of the Presidential election. I have quite a few bets now relying on Trump to bring home a win in November. It will either be a genius gamble that pays off or I’ll basically lose all my bets over the last several months. Only a couple more months now….

Without getting into much details, the biggest gambling risk I have taken this year is that I fully trusted someone to take the easier route at that time in order to escape the inconveniences we'd have gone through then.

Did this gamble pay off? It didn't. And I am filled with regret because now we have to through that uncomfortable situation which we tried to avoid again with a lot of shame, and pain.

I am not happy with myself because I would have stood my ground and not allowed the person influence me into taking the so called easier route.

I’m waiting for the NBA season to start. So far, the biggest amount I’ve gambled on a single bet is $200, that’s really my max because it would hurt if I lost. Luckily, I won. But I’m planning to set a good amount for my bankroll, like $2000, and use it for long-term betting. My goal is to stop once I reach $10,000. It’s a bit of a risky experiment, but as a gambler, we need to have big goals but managed risk at the same time.

In slot machine, I try to go max bet, or going as high as I can, obviously, some of them are a hit, win big, bigger risk = bigger reward, but most of the time, I just catch a dead spin and barely break even in some of my gambling sessions in the last month or so.

Also going as high as $10++ bet on a single number in a roulette game, be it live or with a dealer or just some machine controlled roulette games. I'm into Evolution's lightning roulette which you can hit x100-x500 if you got lucky and hit than single number.

I'm not a big bettor so that kind of bet is already a big gamble on my end.

At first theirs people who gamble massive and they can't figure out the one you may think that will bring highest rewards, because the expectations of every gamble is to bring a reward, I don't know if you are categorising the reward through the amount of stake you place in one bet, because from my founding each bet you stake is a risk and for you to bet,  it assume that you have confidence on it and you have already know that it will yield, but gambling doesn't work that way, because the bet you think that is common or you overlooked may be the one that may give you profit

Let me use this as illustration, everyone who invest or gambles needs profit and the process of involving in investment or gambling, you are taking risk, and you knew any of these can bring a positive reward or negative, it depends on your chance of luck that will determine if you will make out something good for the gambling  or investment, because nobody can predict risk and that's why it's called a risk.

The biggest risk that I've taken so far this year is investing in a business that I'm not familiar with, it's my friends business and he needed more money to stock up while the perticular goods is still cheaper. November/December, is the season to sale and I'll collect my capital+profit, I hope that it goes as planned because I don't like mixing business and friendship.

As far as gambling goes I don't take high risks because I've learned to gamble with the amount that I can afford to loose. I have a weekly budget for it and I try not to exceed it so I'm good when it comes to gambling.

I don’t want to reach that point because it feels like irresponsible gambling. Once you’re taking a financial risk, it means you’re betting what you can’t afford to lose, which can lead to addiction. I can comfortably gamble anywhere from $10 to $100 without affecting my overall savings. So even though betting $100 feels like a big amount, it doesn’t put me in financial jeopardy.

I only allocated a certain amount of money to gamble. It is not that huge and can  be considered very small since I only wager around $20 to $40 to pass time.  I never intended to win huge amount but if the opportunity gives it then it is always welcome. 


I do not have the biggest financial risk so far, it is still the same old allocated bankroll for entertainment purposes the one I stated above.  I do not think that I can have my hopes high to win a huge amount since I know that the possibility is too slim.  I do not want to be disappointed reason why I never think of winning huge amount but just to play and pass time with the casino games I am playing.

I think the $150 bet I had once? Like I was so tired and shit but I wanted to gamble so bad but at the same time I wanted to finish up quickly to rest so what I did was just pool in all of my supposed deposits that day to one bet plus the rest that was leftovers from my last session. Totaled about $150 ish, maybe a bit more but pretty sure it was around that range. Did I win? Nope. Was it worth it? I...'d like to say yes but in hindsight, it probably was a dumb decision and I probably should've just slept. Granted even if i did win adrenaline would've probably kept me up and I would've still spent the entire thing, but still, it is what it is.

I don’t experience serious risk this year since I already learned last year by risking 1800$ on a dangerous high roller bet on blackjack. Luckily, I manage to end up on a little profit despite the risky betting activity that I made.

After that high risk play, I never involved on a high risk betting or even consider deposit huge amount to gamble just to chase my loss. I always consider my loss as is without thinking for recovery to avoid greediness that lead to more risk.

If you are interested to my story you can read it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=228.0

My biggest gamble was betting on the BetBoom team in the Dota 2 cyber world championship, which is called the International. I believed in this team when they played the first match in the main grid. The thing is that I knew that they can beat the first couple of opponents in every championship, but they can never go further.
Therefore, this will be a small, but so far the only gamble this year.

Nevertheless, I must admit that I was quite afraid that I would lose this money on this bet.

I use for around $30-$40 so far at once but I don't get a nice results as I lose for $15 for that bet. Perhaps I don't have luck like others so I lose my money. But I still gambling and start reducing my money because I don't want to get the big lost again like before. I don't mind to lose that money because that is the money I can afford to lose and I will not add more money to continue gambling because that will makes me lost more money. We can lose too big money so we must prevent that before we regret it.

In direct response to your question, the greatest risk I took in a gambling setting was my purchase of Notcoin when it was booming, expecting it to continue pumping in that fashion. Truth be told, I so much believed in that project that I acquired almost $500 worth of the coin. Shortly it started depreciating and so far it has reduced to less than 2/5 of my capital. I felt bad actually, but somehow, I'm optimistic that during the bull run, the coin would still pump and possibly I can get my gains or at least my capital back.

Nothing changes in my routine of gambling in casinos. As usual, I play gambling just for fun. Win or lose is really no problem for me. The important thing is that I enjoy gambling here in the cryptocurrency business field.

I also have a limited amount of money for gambling, and I don't go beyond that because, of course, this is my self-discipline as a gambler in the crypto space, to be honest.
And I don't want to be like other gamblers who loss big amount due to they don't practice limitation in terms of amount to gamble in any casino.

My own biggest financial risk that i took was in the recent match between Inter vs City. I bet with  a big amount that I don't want to mention that the first half will be a draw, because I know that City will not be able to score in the first half and will not allow that because they are all fresh legs.

I won the bet and I was happy that I followed my instinct, but the funny thing was that City couldn't score any goal till the match was over.

I play Blackjack most of the time and I have almost all kinds of experience in Blackjack.  I have lost a lot from here as well as profited a lot.  And this is where I took the biggest risk in my gambling.  So I can't give examples of other games here.  I always play the live blackjack game where the driller serves the cards on live video.  I took a lot of risk here considering it a realistic game.  Because no machine or algorithm was needed here. Everything was visible. So here it was possible to verify luck legally

Someone asked me a similar question although not this year and I don’t think I have spent such big amount gambling this year or taking the risk which I think is good for our health. For those who have been in such position and everyone who has risked their money to gamble will testify, gambling risk comes with fear and if not well planned some might face shock etc. My biggest risk was using my savings for gambling and I never get to earn the benefit due to lose, it’s very hard for anyone to lose their savings because of bet but, lessons learnt and I have never tried such move again. I’m still trying to control and maintain my gambling habit that’s the reason I have not taken any risky move in 2024.

Probably gambling ~%1 of my monthly income in once. Given how the economy is these days, i consider even that as a unnecessary and risky move.

But, i am sort of gambling with my life this year and forward as well, because i am getting a completely new education in a new completely different and unfamiliar field. So i am basically starting my life over again and i feel like it's happening without safety net. That's risky if i happen to suck at that job, and i don't have any clue if i am going to succeed.

Now that's my biggest gamble since investing badly.

My biggest gamble of 2024 so far is betting on Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig, it was last night. I think it was so risky, because i almost lost of my monthly saving that night, but fortunately i won it. Even the worst thing happened in that match, because i took a bet Atletico Madrid as the winner, but in the first round RB Liepzig made a goal 0 - 1, and  thought won't win it but the final results was 2-1 for the match. So that's my biggest risk, i never take such that big risk before, but i think i'm in luck.

We gamble with our future by doing what we did today. If we do a good thing and good work, we can expect to get a good result in the future and vice versa. When we decide to gamble with anything, we must make sure to accepts the outcomes.

The outcomes will not always as we wants but can be a bad for us such as losing our money in gambling. But if we realizes that when we use money to gambling, losing the money is the risk that we will get. I risk some money to gambling by buying some coins and hope that coin will give me a profit.

If what I did could not give me the profit, I try to accept because that is the risks that I can afford. I can't risk more than I can afford so I am trying to search for how to manage the risk.

Every new casino that has a token is not an instant success and those who have been active in such activities for a long time already know it well. It takes a lot of time for a new casino to reach the level of success that the successful casinos we know today.
The risk that will be taken in doing so is not the potential for huge profits by risking all the money but the potential for losing everything that is bet.

In gambling, there have been times when I have taken very challenging risks and I have done it at certain moments such as in the final match of a football match. Well, that was the biggest bet with the highest risk I have ever taken and I loved it.

My biggest financial risk is buying an expensive dog for breeding without any prior experience but guts and belief that with the numerous YouTube videos out there I can do it. Unfortunately the prices of dog food and everything thing related to her care tripled. I also gave up but I kept pushing on. In my first year the dog littered two pups only and guess what they both died after 3 weeks and four weeks apart. Still I haven't given up it is a risk , a huge gamble and part of the process. This isn't gambling related per day but this is gambling knowing that the odds are against me.

Taking risks is scary but often needed for growing and succeeding.  This year, one big financial risk I took was investing in a new business with a friend.  We had this idea but not much experience actually running a business and  it could easily fail but we were excited about it and thought it had potential.   

We decided to just go for it and start the company.  Its been tough with things always feeling risky, but its a risk we think is worth it for the chance to build our own thing.  I mean, you gotta risk big to win big as they say.  Still putting your money and time into something with no guarantee it will pan out is pretty terrifying.  But how else do you make your dreams reality.

Congratulations to your win.
But I think it is too risky to risk your monthly savings on gamble, there is no fun in gamble while you loss huge money. Well, maybe that's what you can afford to risk since you did not tell us the specific amount you staked on Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig yesterday. However, I watched the match and it was tough because at first half the game was a drew but at second half of the match there was another goal from Gimenez (ATM)  during 90 minutes.

Gambling to some of us is a way of life and regardless of what our expectations could be from any bets or whatever we aim at getting profits from in form of a trading position or gambling, if it happens that we failed to reach that expectations we shouldn't be outerly disappointed and we should learn from our mistakes and work towards more success, but above all, we shouldn't be risking more than the amount we can afford to lose at a time.


I understand the pain that comes from losing, but we always aimed at having the fun and only risking the amount we can afford to let go, I have made some level of mistakes in the past that for this moment I am no longer going to repeat same mistake again, since we lose to learnt a d we win to celebrate, we should be ready to welcome both outcome.

Your amount is not much different from mine because I only dare to spend only as much as $40 the biggest of the year in one bet, yes you are right we should not be too excessive in gambling, but spend money according to what we have held in the principle of gambling responsibly, spending money that is ready to lose it is a great achievement if we remain consistent in applying it.

Instead of being impulsive it will only end badly in gambling, except for other things in life, such as betting on school spending a lot of money and time and hoping that after graduating you can have extensive knowledge and experience to live a much better life.

My biggest problem and mistake in my life is gambling at home to protect my privacy because there is nothing wrong with it because i can gamble anytime. If i spend more time outside the house then i am less active in gambling that day because i don't like hearing bad things from people. I lost a lot of money this month because i bet a lot. The main reason for this is that i get a monthly salary from my workplace but no money is paid at home due to which i wasted all the money on gambling. I bet a few times and lost, I couldn't stay. Because every time i thought i would win this bet.

Betting or risking during 2024 - I don't have a bad record in terms of risking a lot of money, because I always do it with caution and other considerations.

Now it's more disciplined to at most deposit $20 for gambling games after that betting and for me this is not a big risk.
It's just that there are regrets where I played my favorite slot and won up to $400 but because of curiosity to continue playing, I finally lost the money again because I continued to play without thinking about withdrawing.

So that's the regret.

This wont really be related to gambling but rather into private sale investment and meme coin investment.
I have placed up so much money on this one but so far im still on -VE considering that market conditions become shit
and several of the projects on where i had invested turns out to be shit and some of them becomes scam.
Im having a hard time to cope up on what i have lost.
Bitcoin, ETH and SOL.
Im not really that trying out to waste too much of my coins in doing gambling but casually i do make some gambling sessions
for the sake of leisure and entiertament but not totally spending up like a madman. I do always go for future benefit or long-term profits
on which everyone is surely that eyeing into.

You are addicted to gambling. Please you need to change. It will not help you but take from you, make you feel depressed after losses. If you love yourself, please you need to change. I will advice you to just stop gambling for many months until you have control over yourself while gambling.

This do happen to some gamblers. What I do is that if I won in a week, be it small or big amount of money, I withdraw everything. When next week comes, I prefer to deposit another money. What that makes me not withdraw is because I lost all the money. If I win big amount like $400, I do not think twice but I will just go to my noncustodial wallet to copy my deposit address and withdraw the money. I do not see winning as winning while I am gambling unless I withdraw the money.

As for a biggest financial risk, I can't think of any but related to the market and buying more Bitcoin. And I think it's the same for everyone that can't remember what financial risk that they've taken with the biggest move that they have to do.

As for the biggest gamble related to casino or bets, I just bet casually and every bet that I make isn't that a lot and it won't make my pocket hurt so, there's not that much big gamble that I've made so far for this year.
