For most of us who love the thrill of gambling but don’t always have the bankroll to go big, the dream is to hit that one huge win from a tiny bet. That’s why we go for high multipliers, we know the odds are small, but the excitement of turning $1 into something massive is what keeps us trying.

Sometimes you see stories of players hitting 100x, 500x, or even 1000x from just a small wager, and it really makes you wonder how often that kind of luck happens in real life. Personally, I think that’s what keeps low-stake players in the game, we’re not chasing small consistent wins, we’re chasing that one memorable hit that makes all the small losses worth it.

So I’m curious, what’s your biggest win from $1 or less? Could be from slots, dice, sports betting, crash, or any other game.
How much did you turn it into, and what game or strategy were you using when it happened?

Let’s see who here got lucky enough to make a small stake turn into something worth bragging about.

There are times where I check my sports betting account and some of them have around $1. What I usually do is place a parlay with a total of around 20 odds so it's easy $20 that's the highest win I got from $1 but if you're going to ask how much did I get from it, I think it reached $150 on that day. It's actually hard and you really needs luck since you need all the bets to win or otherwise you'll just lose it all. I haven't heard about those 1000x I think it's just really rare to see, it's like you're hitting a jackpot in a lottery but, nothing is impossible.

Although I don't think is a thing to brag about because we can't really factor out luck or even determining when luck should get on us, actually I have tried using $0.50 to hit something around $16 on a slot game, where I have to spin on game. I was actually shocked to see that it comes unexpectedly as that day, I was in need of some Dollars but luckily just got that luck of utilizing small 50 cents into $16 that was around NGN 23k in my local currency and it sustained me for that day without me either calling friends to help me or assist me.

I hit multipliers in hundreds on slots but it's only on bonus pack not just single roll, so will that still cover under $1? :D

I don't remember winning big with small amounts and Ill be happy to cash out when it turns out more than 2x in casino games because I feel that itself a win rather than going all they way and need to hit 50 or 100x.

What is their is that in gambling as we say it that is luck ,but is actually your efforts towards that luck because asurming you didn't pick or predict on games you can never be a winner,but since you put effort in it that make you a hero on it .

Firstly I have won countless times in gambling using small money,to win a bigger money countless times as I said
I have used $1 and win $5 this one is even less ,but I have been winning bigger amounts but to mention the few ,in gambling people always complain about their lossing but have they any day go back to their drawing board to check properly if they are getting it the way gamblers do predict,I can predict games worth millions,but the funs to use play the game is just the problem,but in conclusion between has favour many while many also lost in the process.

In roulette since I have been in this games for months now. Just so happen to bet on one number by mistakes in Evo lightning roulette and it had a good x500 multiplier to boot. So I'm very happy with that win and I didn't expect that by just betting $1 and in a number that I didn't supposed to bet.

Maybe it was just fat fingers on my end, or it's just fate that I will win that won. The question is did I withdraw it right away? Of course, I did and just enjoy my winning and paid some bills too. That was just recent, but maybe if I will recall those lucky bet of my mine, then there could still be something big to remember.

Once, on my Birthday, I went to PrimeDice, set multiplier at 9,900x and decided to make 40-50 rolls just for fun. I hit the target on my 24th bet and was super happy with this birthday present from PD, only my bet was so small that even 9,900x of it was something less than $20. Still, it made me happy and I will never forget that experience.

As for other similar wins, I won 1,000x+ two times:

But I must say, it doesn't happen that often. Last time I won with such big multiplier was, as you can see, two years ago.

You are absolutely correct, in fact anyone who plays gamble or bet always have the mindset and mentality or will I say belief that they will hit it big one faithful day but sad enough not everyone will be fortuneate to hit this big one because not everyone's luck is in gambling or betting and if someone's luck is not there they will be losing like shit and sometimes they will even wonder why but the fact that they have the mindset of winning one day will make them not to stop. I think the highest I have used a $1 to win should be $40 or more not once though.

Well yesterday I had a bonus in sports that I don't play much in sport betting, it was sitting there and decided to play all for Chelsea game against Tottenam, it was a 10 dollar bet, then after I winning I played poker where I won a lot of money, which unfortunately lost soon after in slot machines. I started poker session with 5 dollars in total and managed to be patient enough to get it to near 250 dollars, I should have been more careful as I should have withdrawn at least 200 out of it and only then to go and play slot machines. Greediness is what make most gamblers to continue playing, also dopamine plays a big role in making us not withdraw but rather to continue playing as we think we are going to win in the end of our session.

I don't remember exactly what was biggest multiplier on games, but once I did hit zero on roulette with my last 30 cents. The experience was memorable for me because I already decided to call it a day and thought that I already lost everything so I decided to put all funds left on zero and spend it all. To my surprise I won the bet and even cashed out some small amount.

$500. From a $0.1 bet in slots. I still brag about it until now because it's one of the most unforgettable max wins in my life. :D I got it from Stake.com while playing Lab of Lunacy made by Twist Gaming. I didn't expect it, and I was really shocked that it kept on going. Actually, the combo was not even over yet, but I reached the max win, and it stopped. Also, I still have some free spins left, but they stopped too.

That's the first time I won a max win, and it was a damn good experience that I might not forget for the rest of my life. It's just too amazing that it can really happen.

hahaha,,, I used to do this when I was new to gambling. I could not  afford to spend a lot of money. I would bet small  amounts, and expect to make a big profit. I knew  the chances of it were very low, but I did it almost regularly. I would take high risks with small amounts of money. The funny thing is that I  never made a big  profit with a small amount of money. But I do not  regret it. It was the first step in my  gambling journey. And I learned a lot from it.

If you want to survive in gambling in the long run , it is better to avoid high risks. Maybe if  you win one bet, you will get a lot of money. But the chances of winning  are very low.

As what we call in our local games, it's 'scatter',  :).

So yeah, just a dollar or so, I turned it like more than $200.00 in just one spin. In land base though, roughly $.50 pe spin, got the bonus round and it went big around the $300.00. That was a fun night.

I believed everyone of us here who gamblers for quite some time now might have a success story with just small bets turning it into a massive win. Even in sports betting, if you parlay and have a good 3-5 multi-bet, and have underdog on that, you might win big as well.

Biggest win with such low bets has been accrued in the range of @50 - @100

It happens just few times, also because its not hard that results pop-out, it's also rare to place a bet on those...
The funniest has been a correct score + a certain player to score. Well, when you see the highlights, it was likewise the last results possible (with tons of goals not scored even wrong penalties).
The strangest has been while betting on Sinner. I had the change to get a break point scored by Gasquet. Something that could happens no more than 2 times in an entire life ;)

Biggest win from $1? Hmm, that could be in sports betting because that can multiply the money. But winning in sports betting is difficult because you need skills to analyze. I am not remember how big my winning from $1 but that is more than $5 ;D

That is enough for me to continue placing a bet and I don't just place 1 bet but I can place more than 2 bet if I less than $1 to bet. Slot will works for me because that needs more than $10 especially if you want to use the buy spin feature.

I have seen numerous challenges on youtube where people were turning 1 dollar into 1000. I dont know how many tries it took them, or if not their videos are edited, but it looked like its a very simple challenge. I havent tried to repeat it, because they dont play just one game, but play about 5-10 different games, but I usually play only one and play until I lose all :D I have never tried playing high risk with 1 dollar to make most of it, and while playing with 1 dollar budget, it does not last long :D My biggest win from 1 dollar could be 1.5-2 dollars :D Or something around that. Odds above 2 I dont consider to bet on.

Are you asking question about a 1$ bankroll only and turnover to huge amount or a typical small with many try?

My highest multiplier hit on slot games is x9000+ on Hacksawgaming Le Bandit with 0.2$. Got around 1800$+ profit which is massive. Until now I can’t repeat this win.

I also manage to turn 1$ bankroll to around 300$ by playing a combination of Crazy Time and Blackjack. I manage to hit x100 on Crazy Time then wager it on Blackjack until my bankroll turn to 300$.

Honestly, I sometimes feel envious of people, especially some of my friends, who often manage to win big with only a small investment, especially in slot games. Even my friends who are just starting out have managed to hit max wins of x1000 on Pragmatic Play. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I've never had results like that before, even though I've been gambling for over three years.

But fortunately, this envy hasn't changed my approach to gambling. I haven't become aggressive, but I've stuck to my minimal approach. Oh yes, my biggest win ever was with a $1 bet, if I'm not mistaken, around $50 on a PGsoft slot game. I don't know when that kind of luck will strike again, but I hope it will soon. ;D

Some time ago I won $570 using $2 and this was one of the best luck I have ever had in gambling, I wasn't expecting it and it just happened via Slot, till today I still tell people about it and why I like the idea was because $2 was all I gat to lose at the time.

There is no better feeling as a gambler than to win with what you are ready to lose, no matter how small the money might be winning big makes you feel good about yourself, gamblers must learn to be within losing what you can afford to lose and winning with what you can afford to lose.

The other way around is bad for you in a part and good for you in another, that is risking high amount of money and still losing it or risking high amount of money and win, and since gambling always makes us lose more I choose the first idea.

From slot gamble actually i can reach 200x from my initial bets which at that time if i am not mistaken my initial bet is $0.1 but unfortunately i didn't stopped to playing and eventually i was lost all of my bets and make 10x or 100x from $1 is quite hard because i am sure it won't be happened very often but i had just remember that one of my memorable winning from gambling few years ago at that time i was playing dice with $1 as my capital and i got several winning streak which make me confident to continue and after reach to $100 i have decide to stop and quit from the game

A few months ago I had $25 I wanted to bet with and I put $24 in a (not so) sure bet that I lost, and $1 in an impossible bet with odds of 30.00 that I won. So, although I can't remember whether that was my biggest win for just $1, it is the biggest as far as my mind can remember right now: $1 -> $30.

Compared to other colleagues here, we could say that I've been quite unlucky in comparison.

My biggest odd win was probably 35-40x although I don't remember exactly but it could be. But other than that I don't remember ever winning big odd. Big wins don't always happen to everyone, it happens to a very small number of people that they can be very big wins. That's why comparing how big you win and how small someone else wins is stupid in gambling because the more excited you are the more likely you are to lose in the future. Because you will use more money to gamble because of excitement to get bigger wins and by losing them you will lose the previous gains.

For $1, I think I bet lower than $1. I can split that into 5 bets for a lottery I win sometimes, but my winning amount is around $80, but if I bet the whole amount, I could win around $400 for just $1. However, for a consistent bet on a 3-digit lottery, I could only spend $0.2 daily. Sometimes I luckily hit the exact digit and win $80. Well, I am not chasing for losses, but if I win with a small bet, I treat my family and save some for the next bet, as I also bet on the 6D lottery with a huge reward of around $20k. Even if I don't win for many years, I still bet, not daily, but 2 to 3 times a week. Hoping to be lucky someday.

One of the highest win i got from less than a dollar was with  Viking Forge of pragmatic.
I can still remember that i onlye have almost 5 USD that time then i went with 24Php (0.41USD) per spin.
A bonus play dropped on the table and gave a huge prize of almost 113,000 php or almost 1950 USD.. I got the link to share if you are interested.

I think it was about 120 dollars I won in total with less than a dollar,  I wasn't really expecting it but that's how betting or gambling works,  you get lucky when you have no plans for it. That experience taught me that you don't have to stake high to get high rewards...with just a little amount you can also win big and to me thats the safest way to bet compared to putting in high amounts of money

I've been lucky on few occasions to bet with $1 or something close to that and hit a big win, although it's happens once in like 10 trials but I noticed that whenever I increase my stake then reduce my parlays to about 4 or 5 games instead of much I do stand a chance of winning often. Although when I do bet with $1 and increase my parlays I mostly go for straight wins and pick teams with good form and are in first 3 on the table of different leagues. However, like I said earlier it doesn't work often and I lose mostly with cut one or two but I don't feel bad cause $1 is something I can afford to lose.

I never forget my most big win i get, when I hit a 5,000x multiplier on the Fruit Party slot. If I converted to dollars, my bet was around 0.4, and at that time I won $2,000 on that bet. I've shared it in a post on this forum (on this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5249415.0)), but it's quite difficult to find, considering it was several years ago.

You must be very good at making those predictions. Flipping $1 to $20 is big luck. The highest odd i can go for $1 is 5 odds. This means i can only flip it to $5. If i keep on betting regularly I might get the $20 before the week runs out.

Oh you got $150 at the end? You have to teach me what strategy you use. Do you bet on moneyline or pointspread? As low as that amount, what can be the best bet option to pick that is less risky while it yield you returns?

I don't think I have ever took that much of a risk and won. I do some crazy odds bets occasionally but I don't remember any of them winning. The biggest one I remember was something like x10 but then the amount was so little around $5 and that's it. I know the OP wants to hear them crazy stories of people winning $100k from $1 but I'll have a hard time believing them stories if they ever get posted here as the chances of them happening is very very low. I mean if a person was lucky enough to win even $1000 from his $1 bet then that's still a very low chance and I still wouldn't believe it so easily. Winning x10 is not that hard on the other hand. On average it takes 10-15 tries to get it done. If you want to hit the jackpot, do solo bitcoin mining. If you can hit a block, you'll get rich af. I think it is worth the risk. Just get a btc miner and run it 7/24. One of those days it might fetch you the winning ticket.

Last time I won a significant amount of money with a small amount was from a casino game, so what happened was quite shocking, I funded 700 naira into my 1xbet account and tried a crash game, my main aim was to throw the money away but I ended up winning ninety thousand naira, winning with such small amounts feels very exciting and it's better to me than taking too much risk of staking very high.

I don't think I have ever won very big amounts from gambling with a little amount because I think the odds that bookmakers present on different platforms is quite different. Even if I win a reasonable amount, the odds do not let me use a meager amount to bet and that's an issue that makes some of us bettors pick long time ticket numbers to get better odds and winning potential even with the cashout options.
Casino games offer the best promise when it comes to starting with a small bankroll and turning it into some huge profit, but these days am sure we know that it only takes a few games to be lucky and unless greed sets in, it is always better to quit when the lucky numbers come instead of trying to get luckier with more trials.

It's been quite a while, but I still remember making a sports bet with $1 that turned into $43. Not a big amount, but it was a desperate bet I made after losing a previous wager. I made a parlay bet, only picking my favorite teams. There was really no analysis, and that win was purely my luck. I just thought at the time that I should have bet bigger.

I've never played, but I'm always curious about these stories. It must be an incredible feeling to see a small bet turn into a huge prize, right? But does it happen often?

Really this can only happen more frequently in slot games because on some occasions i have tried my lucks with sport betting to use such small amount around $1 to hit some good amount, bit in the end i dont have that luck and the biggest that i jave ever won from sport betting i have to stake it with around $50 before i could come up with such good win of around $150.

But i never tried that on slot games before.

It’s indeed a good feeling but the big losses happened frequently compared to winning big using small amount.

The highest multiplier I won so far on slot games is just x2000 mainly because I don’t play slot frequently and focus on game that gives 1:1 payout like Blackjack and Baccarat.

I always suffer a big lose first before hitting any decent win like losing first 500+ spin before winning something good.

Don't think I have any insane wins from a $1 bankroll. But many times I had 350x hits on Keno with $1 bets, perhaps unfair to call them unexpected because those come after 2000 bets lol

I always make parlays for UFC fight nights and mostly all of them lose by 1-2 bets. Remember last year December it was I think, when I hit a parlay with 11 bets on UFC and it consisted of some underdogs too. Don't exactly remember the bet amount but the total win was around $3k. But man I have to admit if you start chasing these parlay bets it's hellla addictive and rarely ever hits.

It's better to go for single bets instead like correct (exact) soccer game score where you easily get 20-30x if you make some odd combinations :D.

I once won $200 on a $0.2 bet in a pragmatic play slot game, I was very impressed and the win was very rare, and I never bet more than $0.2 in a slot game, now that win never happens again because now I rarely play slots, in aviator it only ever reached a 70X multiplier in sports betting only 7X for every big win the sensation is very different

If I could remember correctly, one of my biggest wins which I had recently should be a game I played with an amount less than $0.25 since it's in my local currency. It was at a casino popular here on the forum running some promotion for my locals which made me make a little deposit into the casino. I used an amount equivalent to around $0.05 to win up to $19-$20. The winning amount might be small, but I consider it huge based on the amount I used to win that bet; that multiplier should be around 300 plus.

I can not accurately remember but I have not had such a huge win of more than $1k from a $1 bet, I have hear stories of players that luckily won even more than that amount from a very small bet size and I wish to be as lucky as that but I have not, I'm hoping that one day I will be as lucky as them but am not over desired to get it by force, even if I don't get it, I won't chase after it but waiting comfortable and if it doesn't come, fine.

We can't expect much because looking at the stakes, the digger is obviously a bit decisive and I personally can't comment on the winning issue if the benchmark is at $1.

Maybe some of us who are on this forum feel the same way but very few to feel the victory that can really be used as a reference for $1 as a starting capital let alone for the initial bet because when the usual gambler I think it will be very rare to make $1 as a direct bet apalgi for casino games or original games.

But it is undeniable that a few times I also did the same thing but I did it in sportsbetting because I made a bet for $1 or even more just that the multiplier obviously depends on the odds but I for some time ago may have felt $1 with odds of 28 and that may be the biggest for this year that I felt if it was talking about the odds that were done but in terms of results obviously it was not too large.

Same with me, I have not had a chance to win $1,000 from a $1 stake. I think it's rare to use such a small amount of money to win a huge amount. If you convert $1,000 in to NGN it's about 1,400,000NGN so it's a huge amount. My recent winning is very small and I am still happy because it is not every gambler that is so lucky to win their bets. Very well, every gamblers hope to win big amount of money some day but let us not become desperate for it because it will make us lose.

I don't think I've ever made a bet with less than a dollar, not that there's anything wrong with it but if I do that it's going to make me break some of the principles I have about betting, one of them is that I don't like to play parlays, it has disappointed me too many times and the near misses keeps on repeating itself. What I like to do instead is to stake about 5 dollars on a game of 4 odds max with just few picks. This reduces the risks for me and I also get to have fun because those amounts are very affordable to to lose. But I have had good wins from this system

I also had similar experience with you, and I must say that your own case is different from mine reason been that I didn't even succeed in getting 1 big win with a low stake it is only when I bet big that I usually win from gamble reason been that I only bet on a single game When ever I want to risk Big. But it surprises me when i see people hitting big in gamble with a small amount of money and sometimes I will keep asking myself that is there any strategy that they are using to hit those amount because you needed to see how long thier bet slip is, about 20-25 games from different leagues but you will be surprised to see all the games working exactly as it is predicted. though this method does not profit more often maybe once in every 3months that's if they are lucky.

I've made around $100 a couple times from free games on a fiat currency betting site in my country - I was amazed that they let me continue playing it for so long, they only restricted my free game access about a year and a half after playing near enough every day. Also managed to get around $300 from another free game, where you had to guess the outcome of sports odds with a chance to win big if you could accurately predict 15 different stages. I chickened out after about half way through and just went 50/50 on the final stages that allowed it to cash out. Those were absolutely free bets, but I've not really won any sizable amount by betting a dollar or less, probably just a 10x on horse race betting.

I think it doesn't happened often and it mostly comes when we don't expect it and whenever you are focusing on receiving a specific amount from gambling then you should know that nothing will come because you are expecting it but when, you don't even attached any feelings or thinking of winning something higher from gambling then you see it coming. Gambling at times is very crazy and one can't really detects or determines when winning is to come or not, just that one has to keep gambling while they waits for their luck to come.

Every gambler believes that one day their luck will shine and that same believe is what keeps most people going even after several losses and not everyone s luck works in gambling and that is why you will see some people win big from little bets while others keep chasing that same luck for years as a matter of fact most people don't win big with little bets so it is usually more of a huge chance or luck. For me the biggest win I've have seen from friends is when $1 was turning it into about $35 or $40 and it felt really good at the time but after a while you realize that it is just a temporary high.

I would say that I was lucky a few times to win with odds of 5 and 7 when my bet was $1. That’s not a lot, and honestly, I’d say that I very rarely place bets with such high odds. I used to do it much more often and believed that I could win a big prize from a single bet. But the win rate on such bets was really poor, I lost almost all of them. That’s why I decided not to place bets with very high odds anymore, because with those bets I mostly just lose money.

I always gamble responsibly because I know that winning is not something to rely on heavily since luck has the biggest role in determining the final outcome. However, I have won several times with $1 bets, even last weekend I won close to $50, although it wasn't in one bet, but I used $1 each on multiple bets. Because I have found out that whenever I try to bet with big amount, I end up losing my bet every time, that's why I normally bet with a small amount.

I tried betting at the sportsbook with $1 and a 100x multiplier hoping that it could come true in parlay betting and dozens of matches were entered in the bet, in the end this never won but it was often tried because it was only with a capital of $1.

Many stories of people playing dice, mines, plinko managed to turn into 100x or even 1000x but for me this is difficult and never felt if I'm not mistaken.
Still only a dream while still trying. Lol

Imo $1 today is a default or most popular amount gamblers bet. Gamblers have made so many $1 bets, that they barely remember their biggest win or have big wins at all. Placing $1 and winning $5 is a rare win, because we dont get x5 often. However, not many will remember winning $5, as that isnt much today as well. Imo it easier to find out what was the biggest bet someone made or his biggest loss. Because such bets people remember for long.

Hmm, maybe you're really just down on your luck, my friend, so you haven't had a big win like others. But I hope this doesn't change your gambling style. In other words, always gamble with an amount you're willing to lose, because chasing wins is pointless, and it won't guarantee you'll win.

The strategy depends on the type of gambling you're playing. If, for example, you really want to win big with a small bankroll, you might choose sports betting, as skill can help you achieve your goals. But of course, don't set your expectations too high, as luck still plays a significant role in winning.

I agree with you since I started gambling I have not used any big amount to bet before, I always use little money to bet and expect more pay outs and you and I know that you can't win with such a small amount, I have a friend that gambles with 50 naira in Nigeria currency, how do you win with such amount?  It's funny how he intends to win about 30games he booked with 50naira in Nigeria currency.

Since I started gambling I haven't won any big money, the only money I can boast of is 8,000 Nigeria currency and it was even a cash out I did, you could even see the joy on my face that day, I was so happy because I haven't won before and cashing out that amount was like a big one I have hit. As you righly said one should just bet with a small amount you can afford to loose comfortably without crying.

As I've mentioned here on the forum before, the biggest win I ever had betting $1 (R$5 in Brazilian currency) was a prize of $100/$150 (R$600 at the time), approximately 10 times the initial bet. I won by betting on slot machines in a physical establishment, back when such establishments were still allowed in my country. After that, my winnings were always smaller, considering the multiplication factor.

Yeah. Even on other things or business, 1 dollar is like the usual pricing for the items or services because it doesn't look too small and doesn't look big at the same time. If there is a rare win here, that is not 5 dollar if we are betting 1 dollar but that will be 1k dollar and up for 1kx and up multiplier. But even 100x and up to 500x can be rare already, as they are already considered a nice win. We must remember our own bets better than someone else but some can only be memorable if they are truly rare like they hit 50kx multi for example or lose a very huge amount for their status. Add in if they are also a famous individual.

I like your response and gambling strategies because for me, I don't prioritize on betting with low stake rather, I look up to the games and odds in the way that the risks will be minimal because the higher the odds that you picks just to increase the multiplier with small stake is the more risky position you stands.
Sometimes going for lower odds and increasing your stakes could also increase the multiplier. You just need to have sustainable bank roll and bet according to what you can accord.
It's usually like dead dream when greedily chasing higher profits with small stake while the risk to loose is manageable when pick small odds and stake higher. This is the simple truth but I don't mean to encourage irresponsible gambling.

Those were such great wins that you've got and I congratulate with that even if that's from 2 years ago. Because not everyone who spends small wins big.

I haven't won that big with a dollar that big and those were just casual wins just like everyone else.

And after winning for some bucks with that money, it usually goes back to the casino because I just gamble them again and had to bet on it.

That's 5,000x of your bet! Congrats, mate! Next time you win that big, make a screenshot and save it somewhere you can easily find afterwards. I myself won 1,000x+ 2 times in my life. Betting $0.20 I won over $200. And made the screenshots then and every time I'm telling this story I show them.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/11/09/U6blCm.png

Because for many people it's hard to believe that such luck is possible.


Not that often, mate, that's what I cal tell you for sure. If you gamble moderately, it will happen once in 2-3 years, maybe even only once in 5 years.


Thanks, mate! I actually withdrew the money in both cases. $200 is too much for me to gamble with. But if I win $30-$40, yes, normally it goes back to the casino sooner or later.

I most often used local currency to bet, and all I can say that betting has return me good figures. I remembered one time a friend pasted a code on X with basketball multiples games. The bookies I used allow gamblers to flex game by one, the potential earning of the code was very huge, I didn't even bother to edit the game because I barely even understand the teams in thag game. I gave it a short and I flex by 2 and then my earning was run down and guess what, the person that drop the code loss as he didn't flex, almost everyone that flex by 2 or more won and the timeline was crazy that day.

I'm not sure if I'm the only person that see betting more lucrative, could be because I don't understand other casino games but I love betting and in general, my earnings has been great to some extent. I can boast that my in and out discrepancy is too wide that I don't think stopping now is going to be an option like other people see gambling, it's beneficial in for fun and money if you know what you are doing.

In my case, there is no record of winning big with a small amount. If you are not lucky, then it is not possible to win. There are some who can win big with 1 dollar but cannot keep that money. That is, after winning, you have to lose that winning money immediately. I have a record of winning the highest 350 times with less than one dollar. But despite many attempts, I could not progress further.

True. It takes a lot of luck to get a big win. I am not that lucky, I have never won such a big win. The maximum I won once was 50 times, but I have had many small wins from which I earned a good amount.

However, there are many lucky gamblers who have won life-changing win here. I saw a friend of mine win 1000 times a few days ago, but he didn't withdraw the money and kept playing greedily so that he lost a large part of this big win again.

I can feel your excitement, LoL, it is more magnificent to be able to turn 1 dollar into some badass output than to have a small win by staking on a big bet. My best experience was in the crash game, when the multiplier was astounding & I was able to turn my 1 rupee into almost 60 rupees. And I cashed out that 60 rupee instantly just before losing it on another spin, Lol. But honestly, such moments of yield are very rare. Most of the time, the same way $ 1 is converted into $ 100 instantly, the same 1 dollar is lost in a few seconds, haha.

I don't think I've ever made such a small bet, well, it's not that I think so, it's that I'm sure of it. I feel like I'm not betting anything or that the reward won't be enough for me. I usually never leave that amount of money in my account for that simple reason; I always end up betting everything I have left, but it's not like I make huge bets either.

I didn't start from $1 but I turned .05btc into 177btc back in 2017 on bustadice. Was a 3 day session with lots of ups and downs, but life changing money at the time for aure. Gave a good chunk back as well, so remember folks that if you get way up, take a long break and let the dopamine settle in your brain. You are not invincible.

Yeah me too.  I have read lots of replies and I am amazed at how most gamblers have been able to make big wins with  $1 and even amounts lesser than that $1. In recent times, I have not staked such a small amount. I once staked a smaller amount and was not lucky. I used to think that it is only greed that will make someone stake small to expect something big. I am not encouraging anyone to stake huge amounts, but all I'm saying is that their expectations should match with the amount they have staked.

As far as I can remember, the highest multiplier I got from a slot is around 5k times, from Le Bandit, with a minimal bet of 10 cents.  It was tense and exciting because I did not buy the bonus, it was a spin spawned one, so it is surprising that it really gives that huge multiplier.  As far as I remember, it was the 50 gold coins that are adjacent to 3 clover ) that boosted the multiplier that much, and the 5 coins that is also adjacent to 3 clovers  and including the rest of the coins and remaining spins that gives me $500+ win for a 10-cent spin.



I always wish to get a max win in my gameplay I have yet got it.  And yeah, it is worth bragging to have a max win in a slot since only a few can experience it.

I am very surprised to see this kind of topic because it's not clear to me on how many people had made huge money from using an amount that is below or equal to $1. If this works for op or some other people, I don't think it works for everybody. I have made some profits betting using about equal to a $1 but I don't think is big to what I can remember. The idea of gambling with small money is not something I used to do often.

I have won $139.28 with $1 but as they may call it ,the money I won is just luck for me because I almost finished all the money I went that play the game so the last $1 I was pushed to go home with it I said their nothing this $1 can do for me j have to risk it ,I risk the game and I was watching too boom before I know it the team I selected to the exact match  won,That's where I have won 1$
I was so surprised at the end I gained more than even what I lost from the bignner

I remember winning 250 dollars from a bet I placed when i didn't know too much about gambling, my stake was 2 dollars only and it was copied bet a friend of mine got from twitter. They were all overs, it made me skeptical about the game but I had mo problems because i staked low but it was surprising that I ended up winning. It's better to just stick to staking small amount of money to win big amounts

I will never forget this. I was on roobet.com, and after winning their art contest, I deposited my prize there as a way to support Roobet. Then I tried a $1 spin on Hand of Anubis by Hacksaw Gaming and that spin hit an x600 win. I thought it was the max win at first, but it turned out to be just x600. Still, that’s fine because it was my highest win ever from a $1 spin.
I guess I've share this many time here in bitcointalk because there so many similar thread like this. Won't be surprised if soon this thread will get locked by moderator..

The most money I ever won betting $1 was $9, and that was pure luck. It was a game involving my country's national team, which wasn't considered the favorite by the bookmakers. In that game, my country conceded a goal, and the bookmakers offered odds of @9.00 if my country won. I knew my country was stronger than the opponent, so I decided to bet on my country's victory. I placed $1 by mistake because my intention was to bet $10, but unfortunately, I made a mistake and only realized it after the game ended.

Absolutely. Take a look at my previous posts in this thread. There's screenshots of me winning $200 out of 20 cents bets. Also I won $20 several times on PrimeDice staking just $0.002 and winning with 9,900x multiplier. I personally don't see what's the point of risking $20 in order to potentially win $2, even if your win is almost certain. I can see no fun in that.

Few months back, I got a massive hit on almost 1000x on a slot machine. If I'm not mistaken, it was my first time to hit that kind of huge multiplier. Won several though on land base casinos to more than $3000 from a $10.00 bet. That could be my biggest hit in years of gambling as me and my wife was very happy that time. I can't remember the year but the months as there was like 3 days straight that we are very luck. We just arrived on the casino and my wife chooses a slot game and then hit a good win of $1000 that we clearly withdraw and never go back again and bought like a mobile phone or a camera with that kind of money back then.

Not too big but that is more than $5 ;D

That win was from slots because I was lucky. But that rarely happens to me and makes me play more at other times. But I also get that in sports betting by betting $1. The win is not much but that covers my bet amount and increases my balance.

I once had an experience that I strongly believe was due to luck. I opened my online casino account and had a small balance left, just enough to place a single bet, and that was for the smallest amount. I did it on a whim, without any hope of winning, but the results were completely unexpected. What happened was that the remaining funds made me happy because I won quite a large amount. This was clearly a case of luck, because I actually thought I hadn't done anything, just doing it for fun, but the results made me happy. Some people who gamble may experience the same thing.

For some reasons I considered this an impossible amount for me to gamble with, most times when I get I stake my vet from $5 above and for that reason I always make sure that I don't select multiple game's I just select a single game and bet on it with such amount I can afford but something above $1 as you posted, majority of those that enjoy betting with $1 are those that have habits and techniques of selecting multiple game in a single ticket.

Those kind of luck is very very rare, I have hear someone won that big but since that time till now, there's never been such win again. If I go down my betting history I think I can find my biggest won amount with $1 but it was not really that a significant amount. For someone to win their big with $1, you have to take a parlay with so many games and the many games reduce your chance of winning.

Playing slot can give a chance to get a big win too, but to get this someone need to get free spins after one normal spins they bet. Of course this can be very rare to happens. I also never get any maxwin again after my experience in the past. This is not a betting advice, because slots are not a game that can be analyzed, if someone really want to bet $1 in one spin, even bring in $1000 maybe no maxwin he get during the session.

Mine was winning $1500+ with $0.3+ bet, I won it because I hit max win on a game by pragmatic play namely Fruit Party.
I have shared it long time ago in this thread  Slots 101: Basics, Strategies, and Discussion (with poll) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5249415.0) but I cant find my post because there are too many posts there to check.
Winning big enough from small bets is usually happened in casino games where there is a chance for it, as long as I remember there were many gamblers who win like several tens of thousand dollar up to few hundreds of thousand dollar with few cents bet because they won the max multiplier in mines game which is up to more than 5M X.

That’s like a super slim chance. It’s kinda a waste if you bet $1 on a spin hoping to hit $1000. I don’t find it better than a sports betting parlay. With parlays, at least you get some real thrill because from the start you’re working for it - you analyze, you pick which teams to add to the legs, and you build your way to that x1000 odds.

I think so too and that's why I bet only with $0.20. If I lose $5 after 100 almost empty rolls - I quit. But sometimes I hit 200x, 400x and I even won with 1,000x+ twice.(see my posts in this thread.)


Wow, that's a lot for me on multi-bets. I usually aim for 100x to 200x. Of course I did try my luck with 1,000x+, I even remember betting with 6,000x once, but the max I really won on a sports betting was 150x. Once I cashed out with 48x of my bet with one leg still in play and then saw that if I didn't, I'd win with 200x of my bet, but that's what I did.

Earning $5 from a $1 stake is a lot, my friend. If we calculate it as a percentage, that's already 500% of your initial stake :D.

I also enjoy playing slots; in fact, it's my favorite game. I usually bet an average of $3-$5 per session. However, I don't think I've ever bet $1. I prefer to build up my bankroll first, at least to $5 before playing.
When it comes to winning, I think it's much better to use my initial stake as a benchmark. I mean, getting a 100% profit on your initial stake is already very good. This method also makes it easier for me to stop at the right time.

I don't remember if it was $1, but it was certainly a meagre amount and I reached about $40 with it — it was done with dice and I don't think I used high multipliers either; it just worked out somehow, and I lost this winnings soon after, I remember cussing myself for continuing to play and not withdrawing any of it.

My biggest win from $1 is taking it up to $40 playing dice. With less money, I've played and won $400, but I couldn't withdraw it because the casino turned out to be a scam. It was playing slots, so it sounds unbelievable, but that's how it happens There are many who bet a lot and win little The world of casino games is huge the possibilities are endless.

I doubt if it was because you did not withdraw some of the profits that made you loose it all back but I don't think it is because you did not set have the stop lost strategy where you have to opt out after you have made some profits so that it will help you manage your bank roll and then you would not loose or play beyond your budget.
Moreover the anxiety to recover a little could cause you huge lost and so also playing with earn more profits could also be disasterous.

Well, sadly I am not one of those success stories, when I got for relatively small wager I also tend to be conservative with the multiplier I am aiming to, so I usually go for games which could double my money with a single punch of good luck, for example blackjack or rock, paper, scissors.
When comes to dices I adjust the multiplier close to 2x and keep the pace of the game relatively slow, so I would not lose all my money very fast.

I don't try to become the next lucky winner and turn one si gle dollar into thousands, because I try to remember how slim my chances to accomplish such a thing are...

Well, next time, if that's a significant amount for you, withdraw at least half of it and only after that continue playing if you want. I personally do not withdraw $40 right away after winning, but what I do - I stop for the day. $40 is enough money to play during the next 10 days or so and that's exactly what I do - I play. If finally after 10-14 days of playing I lose it, I don't regret it, I had my fun. But sometimes I win $100 or even $200 during those days(my bets are always less than $0.50 on slots) and then I withdraw and celebrate.

Interesting topic, and I saw some pretty cool comments... It's really nice to read positive gambling stories for a change. I am a slot lover, and I love seeing big multipliers, but big wins in sports betting are actually more interesting to me... maybe because I don't bet like that, I don't chase big multipliers with too many games. My biggest win on sports is maybe x10, while on slots, I have had wins over x2k with $1 spins... but that doesn't happen often, at least not for me.

With slots, it's "simple & easy", we just spin & hope for a lucky hit. But hitting over x10 in sports betting, or even crazier like over x100, feels magnificent!

At my old work place we were in a lottery syndicate. It’s £1 per week and one week we got 5/6 numbers which was £2000 win. Split between 10 of us was £200 each. Not life changing but a nice win. If we got 6/6 numbers though it sould have been £4,000,000 so that was a bit annoying :D

Around 80 dollars more or less.

I only gamble with tiny amounts of money in order to turn gambling into entertainment rather than an expensive hopeless dream of becoming a millionaire.
Many people would not agree with me here but I think betting should primarily be for fun.
And with that kind of mindset, you want to pay less for the same entertainment.

This is an interesting topic and it reminds of my past experience but it’s fine , there is a guy on Twitter who post games on daily basis and he will always tell you that nothing is guaranteed, so everyone should gamble what they can afford to lose.

So on that faithful day I had only #100 left in my sporty bet Account , so I had place the bet first with the money which my potential win was $150 but I have being losing ,so  I didn’t have the mind to fund  my account again so I went to bed because it was late already, and I didn’t bother to monitor the game , when I woke up in the morning I had to open my app to check , I got my biggest surprise and at the same time feel so much regret because I had money in my account but I didn’t have the courage to fund my sporty account, I was really pained because such opportunities comes once in a while , if I had bet with $5 I think my potential win would have moved out of trenches as at them , because I would have won millions, I wish not to remember the pains I felt that day ,but I still appreciate what I won that day . With that small money I won  over $150 which is equivalent to (#160) in NGN, I almost slapped myself funny tho , I still pray for such opportunity again .

I think luck like that happens extremely rarely. For example, I don’t consider myself a very lucky person, especially when it comes to gambling, where the factor of luck plays a key role. I’ve never had any huge wins that could be life-changing, like the story someone posted on the forum about winning around 7 million dollars about a year ago. And I’m absolutely sure that something like that just cannot happen to me in general.
But two weeks ago I managed to hit  a 5000x multiplier on a 0.20-dollar bet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5488858.msg66054879#msg66054879) in a slot game. I should mention that I normally don’t play slots at all, I only opened the game by chance to check it out and I happened to get lucky. Of course it didn’t happen on the first spin, I initially lost about 10 dollars, but the win still fully covered that loss.

You see one thing about gambling with a little stakes is that it is likely to be more difficult to win with small amount because the lower your staking power the lower your chances of hitting a big win moreover nothing good comes that easy you must pay a supreme price to achieve it.

However, I know sometimes other gamblers do win huge amount with little staking power but rarely have I experience it throughout my gambling experience. Furthermore, one stuff am certain and always try to maintain each time I am gaming is my peace, I don't mess with it or trying risking it all because am after a big win, I will prefer staking the little I can and wouldn't be affected incase it fails than chasing big win that Will ruin my peace of mind.

With larger bets, the possibility of winning a significant amount in absolute terms increases, but this does not in any way improve your chances of hitting a significant multiplier. You can turn 10 dollars into 50, which is nice of course, but your multiplier is only x5. Meanwhile, casino players are usually hunting for at least x100, in my opinion. And placing 10-dollar bets each time in hopes of hitting x100 is quite risky, because you may simply not have enough balance to sustain those attempts. And there are no guarantees of winning at all.

Below is my biggest win with a bet of $0.2:
https://talkimg.com/images/2025/01/15/Oqoya.png
A $4k win from a $0.2 bet is my best result ever in my gambling journey so far because it is 20,000x multiplier which is also my own multiplier record so far. The game itself is actually having 25,000x max multiplier but 20,000x is already a nice win for me.

I've always envied those guys who managed to get a x100 or even x1000 multiplier on any bet in slots, which I find absolutely incredible. Generally, I consider a dollar bet high for slots, because I play no more than 0.5 per spin. But there were times when I played with a one dollar bet, and I clearly remember my maximum win being x16. Yes, such a small multiplier. Probably because I didn't play slots very often, and in general, I play rarely because I don't want the gambling experience to be too dependent on me.

This guy recently shared his x1000 winning experience in slots. Another one to envy, haha. But honestly, if we don’t stop betting (only with money we can afford to lose, of course), we’ll eventually find ourselves in situations where we hit some big wins too. Actually, x1000 isn’t even that big in slots .. I’ve seen threads where people hit x10k multipliers.

In the future, you may still be interested in slot gambling, but you should learn from your experience: before placing a bet or registering, be more careful in choosing a casino. Don't let your winnings become unwithdrawable due to fraudulent practices.

I've never experienced the luck of going from $1 to a large sum. Sometimes I gamble my weekly bonus, even if it's more than $1, but sometimes I've managed to withdraw it, and sometimes I haven't had any good spins at all.

From a $1 bet, I think the max you can expect is around $100k. And honestly, that’s risky because some casinos might not even pay that out if they can’t handle the volume.

But if you’re playing in a casino that’s known for accepting huge bets, the kind that even survived big hacks involving millions like Stake or Metawin, then you won’t really worry about a $100k win. They can handle that.

For casinos that aren't really in business but rather are out to cheat players, the casino won't pay out any winnings they earn and withdraw. Gambling involves luck, so I believe some people are lucky enough to turn $1 into many times more, and I hope I experience that.

I believe the casino you mentioned has a good reputation, as I occasionally see my friend gamble there, and his winnings are always paid out, even in large amounts. Luckily, he can win big almost every time he plays.

Of course, it's a fact that this is the case now every casino I play at analyzes it a lot. In fact, you can play with $1, and that's the reason why many players lose When they're playing with real concentration, if they lose $1 or $2, they don't care, but the casino does We should be more like the casino, which takes care of even the smallest amount of money If we do that, we'll have more positive results it's about valuing our money.

I don't bets with less than a dollar as stake or even a dollar.

I've been gambling for a while now and don't think I've ever won beyond thousand dollar, while in so many cases, i don't receive my winnings in amount lesser than this, but on an overall assessment, I can conclude that comparing my winning to the rate of losses, am yet to brake even, because there is still more of losses than wat have been won.

a few days ago i played a crash game on betfury. i did not play with 1 dollar. i played a 3 dollar crash game and i got 50x. with a small bet i earned a lot. that day my total profit was about 370 dollars. if you play these games then too much greed means everything is finished. that day i wanted to see how far it could go, but when i reached 150 dollars profit i did not get more greedy. it went up to 76x and then crashed. in these games you should not be too greedy. many times i became greedy and lost a lot of dollars. so now i try to play safe so even if the profit is not big at least there is no loss.

Nice win for you? Are you kidding, mate? It's an amazing win for anyone! I bet any billionaire on earth would be happy to win $4,000 from from a $0.2 bet. My biggest win from 20 cents so far was $234

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/12/06/UTuWeZ.png

and although it was already a nice win for me, I'm not losing my hope and continue trying my luck with slots at least couple of times per week. I want to win like you, mate, one day. I really want. But seeing that you, @Bitinity, someone I’ve known on this forum for years, really won with that crazy multiplier is already making me happy. Thanks for sharing, mate!

My biggest win from a $0.2 bet (and actually from any bet) was $1,000. I hit a 5000x multiplier. For me that was a really great result, especially considering that this particular $0.2 bet was free because I had just won free spins before that. But 20,000x sounds way more impressive, congratulations to you Bitinity. I hope I’ll also hit something that big one day.

Maybe you just haven't been lucky yet, someday you will have it even if you only bet with small amounts under $1 like $0.3 or lower than that, surely you will have a time when you get lucky with a large multiplier amount and more than $1k, with a gradual increase in the value of the bet when you get good momentum, I myself played with $20 in the initial capital then won up to $150 and increased my bet, which ended up at $1150 in the last winning amount and not just one game I tried, speaking of losing all gamblers will not find a break-even point from the bets they have made, I am also the same even though I have won big.

I have known them/gamblers from the bottom to the top, from the normal to the serious, for that as far as I know and I have never seen those who gamble and place small bets and manage to win big or double. One and two time bets may still have chances and odds, but subsequent bets are as flat as a wheel without pressure.

I think the operators and casinos are not stupid, they have complete control over the players and users of their gambling sites, once or twice they let you take their money the next they no longer let you be on top.
You know gambling is a business, so what does a businessman expect, profit or loss?

I haven't won anything very significant with a dollar or less.. I'm wondering what type of game you'd need to combo, just to make that possible. Maybe slots, just like everyone else in here have suggested? But I don't play slot at all, so I may never stand a chance. I'm a type that believes so much in increasing my stakes to get the better part of the winnings.

I've seen a couple of screenshots from stakes.com, from some members on this thread of how they won 200 bucks and so on, from just 0.2 cents. Let's just imagine how that would have turned out if it was a 20$ stake, on a 20,000 multiplier?

We have to be sincere here, most gamblers don't even play a dollar stake on games when they are gambling, except maybe for the sake of those that like playing crash games with the likes of aviator, moreover, most gamblers see this range as extreme risk to stake their bets, especially on sport betting, because the odd need to be high as the stake is lower.

You are right, most people don't stake game with $1 except it is Sport bet where they can gather upto 10 to 50 games they want to stake with small amounts of money. Gambling is just about knowing how to arrange your bets in a way that is not going to choke you or  make you gamble anyhow. I can accumulate up to 20 games and use small money to bet on it which is okay if the odds is big.

Although I win more often in sports betting, I have to admit that my biggest win with a $1 bet was in a slot game. I remember turning that $1 into around $198 USD, or a little less. I forgot the exact amount. Unfortunately, I played most of that winnings and only had about $50 USD left.  :D

However, when it comes to consistent wins, sports betting is where it’s at. At least I rarely lose all my money there. In fact, I often double my profits. Unfortunately, I’m never bold enough to bet big, even on a soccer match where I’m confident in my prediction.

I envy those who have won so much with a buck of theirs. Envy in a nice way because it hasn't happened to me. I'm trying to do it with spinly and if I'll win with just a $1 then I'd definitely celebrate. But I don't think that it will be that easy if I'll continue to aim for that. That's why it's just best to enjoy that dollar with every spin that I'll do there and those who are really lucky will hit more with their buck no matter how easy or hard they try.

Most bettors like to go with higher staking, but some who like slot games, myself included, go with lower wagers because the lower the wager, the longer your balance will last you, and the higher chance you will get into winning.

Sometimes I even consider the wager size the same for all in terms of playing some slot games, as you can't really predict which one will win. Why not just go low and pray for luck to hit your side to win a high maximum multiplier of that game?

I don't remember the exact buy-in in poker, but I do remember winning a 70-player poker tournament with less than $1. Of course, with such a small buy-in, the players weren't particularly strong, but it still made an impression on me. I understand that my winnings in this area won't be large because I didn't play slots with huge multipliers, but it was interesting to me at the time, and I've since stopped playing poker. There will certainly be plenty of stories of players winning $300 or $500, but it's important to understand that behind these stories were many losers, who are often overlooked.

The values of currencies has never been the same even volatile Bitcoin which although had proven itself a worthy investment over the years. It has been a while since I made a win 1 dollar or less. To convert my win back then to the present value of my currency to dollar it was about 500 dollars win with 1 dollar or less.
The news of small stake to big win has driven some people to bullshit even. However care must be taken to still be in charge of someones  gambling life no matter the 1 dollar or less win news.
Making less than one dollar win was so joyful.

Biggest win on $1 is $20 from a scratch off ticket that I bought years ago. It was a pretry awesome feeling to 20x my money in a matter of minutes but sadly not realistic to replicate buying more tickets statistically speaking. It was a really great thrill though haha

My biggest win was maybe $36 with just $1 bet. But if you're asking as $1 base bet, than in slots with just 0.2$ base I've won ober 500$. I think only slots can give you this big win. Even I didn't saw anyone played the parlay bets and win big . So maybe you're referring as slots user. But I think lottery can also brings you this big winnings.
But as a base bet you can win big , 5digit multiplier easily. If you're chasing big wins then play slots.

I was very addicted to gambling at one time. At that time I gambled a lot, lost a lot of money and also won, but the game I enjoyed most of the time was blackjack. There is no chance of winning very big Odd here. The remaining 2x and site bets 25x & 30x are the max wins. I was able to win this max win. But those wins made me more serious about gambling and I used a lot of time and money and I lost all my wins. I could not use any of the money I got from gambling in real life. I lost the money I won from gambling in gambling. But I got a lot of fun from there, it gave me a lot of support in my lonely life and my bad times, so I enjoyed gambling regularly. And I had the chance to win max.

The thing is that everyone is gambling with what they can afford to lose and if can bear the risk of staking with $20 the next person may likely be spending $2 gamble which makes it very difference from each individuals. Yes there are others who may likely increase their bet to either $100 as well while people could stake with 1k depending on their financial level of outcome, that is why those who are in the middle west do not usually gamble with higher amount because of the poverty rate over there.

Oh, man, 5,000x is my long time dream. I mean, I won several times on dice with 9,900x, but my bet was always so small that the win never was above $20. I'd say even 2,000x on slots with $0.2 bet is my dream.

Funny that while I was thinking about what to reply I was playing a Pragmatic slot and won with almost 300x:

$58 that. Not 2,000x, but something pretty good too, in my opinion. :)

Around 15 years or so ago I had 1$ left in my bet365 fiat account (it's been a long time) and I bet it on a 10+ game parley on MLB (baseball). I had no clue about baseball and pretty fast forget about the parley as well. Weeks later I signed into my bet365 account, until then I didn't have a reason to login since I knew there was no funds. To my surprise my account had round about 500$ sitting in it. First I thought this must be a mistake until I checked the betting history and found that my lucky parley won.
That was the one and only time I made a decent amount from basically nothing.

I would like to share to you my experience on how I started gambling and the amount of money that I've gotten overall.

Back in the days when Dota 2 and CSGO were relatively new on Steam, Valve introduced the crate system where you would get a crate in-game and you would need a key in order to open it and receive rare guns and skins. The crates drop in-game; while the keys can be purchased for $1.99 during that time. When CSGO and Dota2 entered the gambling scene, websites such as dota2lounge and csgolounge became a thing and people would bet most of their skins for value on the teams participating.

To cut the long-story short, I started with less than ~$1 worth of skins and I was able to garner at least ~$120 worth of skins in the course of two (2) weeks. I thought I was the king of betting until one fateful night changed everything- I betted against a strong team who was the favorite to win that matchup (5 against 1 odds).

I went all-in expecting to receive at least ~$30 worth of skins when I betted ~$120 worth of skins on my end. The game started on my favour but it quickly turned turtle when my team choked and lost! Unfortunately, I lost all of my skins and I was never able to replicate that amount of luck in the end.

TL DR: Turned my $1 to $120 but lost everything on one match.

I’ve hit max win quite a few times playing pragmatic play gates of olympus, including a $5000 win on a $1 bet.
I also hit a 10000x max win on a hacksaw slot by buying free spins.
When I enter bonus rounds with low bets, the payout usually ends up somewhere between 20x and 200x.

I had an even more interesting win a long time ago. The bottom line is that I had $0 and I won ~$35. Probably many people know freebitco, well, that's where I won (not in one day). I received the initial amount from faucet and played dice. Then I bet on sports in the betting section there. I went there once a day, or even less often. There was no serious expectation. Just casually. Nevertheless, I was lucky. Although the amount is small, I still remembered it just as an example of winning without a bankroll at all.

From time to time I check rare wins in different games and see how people play crash and get x9999 multiplier, how they play mines and guess rarest combination (I think it was 12 safe tiles and 13 mines), that it makes me think how many tries they had and what motivated them to try such strategy? Lets take crash. When you bet $1 and see that rocket is flying high, what forces gambler to continue after seeing he has already made x50 or x100. That is already a rare game scenario. However some people continue the game and wait till bet multiplier are in thousands. If I was that gambler, I would have cashed out already when I have multiplied my bet x10 times.

I remember that, having some dota 2 items and as well as those crates or csgo items. They were the old days when it's just pure fun for gambling and we don't mind if we lose those dc hooks and expensive items.

But that story of yours is very impressive. You've won it by 120 times and yet lost everything.

We're so reckless back then and I think it's the beauty of gambling with these items because even if they were important for us, we still gamble them like YOLO.

About two months ago, I hit a high multiplier on Pragmatic Play with a minimum bet. It was another high multiplier I haven't had such luck in a long time. Perhaps it's because I rarely play with Pragmatic Play, as I've been playing more often with PG Soft for the past year.
As for betting, my biggest win wasn't high, even though I often bet parlays, as I usually don't include more than three teams on my slip, even with a $1 bet.
