How would you feel if you lost 50 btc after gambling... https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/92ff9f2dmRCeSttM0U0a1dPZ0tTSDd4OW4vZz09/r/2744 (https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/92ff9f2dmRCeSttM0U0a1dPZ0tTSDd4OW4vZz09/r/2744) What's the biggest loss you've taken before, and do you have any good coping strategies? I do wonder if it's better or not to express anger or to just try and ignore it as best as possible. Personally I just get angry and yell some swears, but curious how other people react when losing and any tips on coping.

According to the link he lost 50 btc and if its happen to maybe it makes me angry.. honestly i lost many times and i think all my lose are around 2-5 btc.. but its a small amount every day play with some bonuses and sometimes i just deposit to get the wagered but it turn to lose..
50 btc for me its a lots of money if you convert it into fiat.. or you can double the value of that 50 btc after block halving..
We can called it bad luck.. Maybe the the bettor is rich thats why he can bet like that or he is old bitcoin user..

OMG  :o :o you lose 50BTC next time buddy you no lucky

even losing just one percent of that figure would give me the sweats lol for many we haven't even seen that many bitcoin but if that was OPs loss hopefully he wont chase it :P

If i loose some similar amount of bitcoins, i will feel very angry. But i didn't expect loosing big because i only play small amounts, my bigger loosings are 0.05 or 0.10 bitcoin bets.

When you gamble with amounts of 50btc then hopefully you can afford to lose. Personally I should never bet such amounts even when I could afford it. Sometimes you think it will be a 100% hit but that is not always the ways it go.

he probably has a bank of 200 + BTC. i highly doubt anyone would blow their whole bank on one bet.

Why someone would wager $20,000 on a basketball game is beyond me...

...seriously I'm in awe right now, what a dumbass  :o  Hope he wasn't married or with kids...

If I were to lose as much as 50 BTC then I'll throw my computer out  :D I think the way it was quite satisfying my emotions
but if I really have 50 BTC I would not use to bet with 1 bet I will place some bets.
by the way what makes you confident with that bet ? if you buy tips from someone or just a hunch?

For me, 50 BTC is not worth trying on sports betting, unless u have some special knowledge about that bet event. I'd better try it martingale on some dice or similar random number based site.

If I lost 50 btc, it would only mean that I had a big enough bankroll to have lost that amount without it bothering me. In other words, if you have a gambling bankroll of 5,000 btc or so, losing 50 btc isn't a killer loss.

Exercise proper bankroll management and your losses essentially won't mean anything to you. And as always, never risk an amount that should you lose it, will make you upset.

50 BTC is about the same as my college expenses for an entire year. I could not imagine putting a year of college on the line. Just a huge amount to risk. Obviously, there are people who are more affluent and can afford such bets. I, however, am not one such person.

Maybe he was taking a profit from odds differency between bookmarkers.

Well i think u have bunch of btc so u can affrod if u lost that 50 btc, but for many ppl, 50 btc really much amount to do in a bet.

That is alot to bet on one game. It was the OKC game where they won? I know alot of people lost alot of money on that game but that was probably all their bets combined.
You should give on betting as once you start losing you will always go down that path.
Better to cut your losses now so it does not cost you anymore in the future.

the good thing that the player didn't lose that amount on dice lol
in general you can't judge on the results , maybe he is a professional gambler and don't forget that gambling has variance
if I won something like 2000 BTC in my career I would feel nothing about losing 50 BTC , cause your avg win is what matters in gambling not the daily results  

is it your betslip? sorry to hear that if so , that was pretty big amount you gambled there.
i believe you have won several times with this kind amount bet before right? you think you can win everytime but it is not.
last year i experienced something like this , gambled allin on soccer feeling lucky 3 times always win and when hit 4 times i lost all previous winning and just regret it. no angry just regret!

Ouch, 50 BTC lost... I don't think the better would actually mind a lot though (sorry if it is your bet), but most whales usually have a large bankroll to bet with (Maybe 500+ BTC). It would suck if the person went all in or something. Whenever I lose a bet, I usually just go "whatever" and I don't really care that much, because I only gamble what I afford to lose. On the other hand, if someone was addicted to gambling, they would probably rage a lot and swear at it.

Must be so sure the team he bets are going to win. same thing happen to me when i bet for ronda rousey during the fight with holms and i lose about $160 its not so much but still I regret it up to these days.  ;D I wish i bought the hard drive i've been meaning to buy with such amount.

hope he isn't married with kids indeed.

Damn dude, losing 50 bitcoins in 1 match. Classic NBA playoff bet, that's why i never bet big on NBA playoff because NBA playoff is hard to predict. btw, who's bet is this ?

dude 50 BTC is 22000 USD which is a very good amount to invest in something or start your own small shope or some business or business investment if i were you i would have invested it in a better way where i know i can make something out of it ( i know you could have also win but this is not the case )

anyways get over it now

OMG, 50BTC is huge for me, anyway, will if you can't afford more then stop gamble
if you can, you will win back in sometimes, then quit...

What a sad loss, losing 50 BTC in a gambling is a huge sum of money, better luck next again.

Well we don't know who he is and so we wouldn't know whether it is a reasonable bet to him. May be he is a dumb addict that has lost all his life saving, or may be he is a filthy rich man and 20K is just pocket change to him.

what the hell! i would never risk 50BTC= 22,500$ in the first place and whoever does that (no offense but) they are either an idiot or super loaded who don't care about that much money and can easily lose and bet the same amount tomorrow and lose again!

Wow, 50 coins lost in one bet... Hopefully that better can afford to lose that much, and that is didn't ruin someone's life. If that happens to me, I would cry.

first it is your fault by doing it so it is no ones fault at all but making angry is just normal because 50btc not to be kidding wow that's a lot to lose only for gambling! but i think you know the drill so better yet you will look for better strategy to cope up but for me if I lose that I will not do anything but to stop and do not gamble again.

i would feel sorry better luck next time if i lose 50 btc in one bet and i will surely  bet 100 btc on the next  match, hopefully that bettor is not on all in so he can win it back.

I would NEVER gamble with that much money and therefore I cannot comment on this as I am sane enough and not rich enough to play with that much money.
The biggest loss I had at a session would be half a bitcoin I think.. And coping with is easy if you realize what's done is done and don't go chasing after it and do something else for a while. Maybe grab a drink or two.

I have also this betting problem I lost every earnings that I have betting from some dice site so basically I'm just wasting my time since every earnings that I got from secondstrade has been lost because of doing some dice game and losing in the long run, I think I don't have better strategy but to stop and use my earnings wisely.

if we are sure that the team will win, sometimes I also play All In. but I get a bad result, as last wee :(

I hope you can get back, I'm sure if you bet 50 BTC, you are a great player and has a lot of bitcoin.

since you spend it on one bet i think lossing 50 BTC nothing to you right ,
just bet another 100 BTC to win it back  ;D

I would not care if I lost 50 BTC in a bet because I would not bet 50 BTC unless I would be ok with losing it.

Betting, especially on sports, involves putting your fate in the hands of others. It's not a great idea to put an amount of money that would impact you severely in the hands of others. Especially on a spread in a basketball game. The Warriors would not care if they won by 7 or 6, so putting a large amount of money on that difference is kind of crazy.

As a sidenote, that bet involved buying points in a basketball game, and paying a huge price to do it, not the smartest plan in the world. Losing 50 btc in one go had to hurt, but someone doing stuff like that is bound to lose a bunch eventually anyway.

We don't know that person's bankroll. If he/she is betting up to 5% of his/her bankroll on matches like a proper bankroll management recommends, he/she might have at least 1000 Bitcoins to play with so it's not such a big loss for a whale anyways. If that was an all-in bet I would have been very upset and probably would stop betting for a while until I have cleared my head or stop betting completely.

unfortunately i don't ever have 50 BTC in my life and if i have those amount i would never spend it for gambling but if i losing 50 BTC i think i would very angry and sad because 50 BTC is huge amount and i would regret my losing because i'm so greedy and stupid spend thousands of dollars only for gambling

This is some serious gambling, OP had a chance for earning 37 BTC in just 2 hours. Without big risk there is no high payouts, I believe if he had 50 BTC now, next week he will make a same bet with even more money..I really hope it wasn't all what he has.

I wish you more luck next time ( if there is next time ), sports betting can bring nice money sometimes. Don't lose your faith, it's important that you had balls to try to play big. I respect it, many people doesn't have it.

wow, 50BTC is a lot of money especially now that the price is rising and halving is near. that is a very bad idea to risk such a big amount in gambling. they always say "bet what you can afford to lose" that is why i never bet big and that 50 is gigantic for me.

IMHO, it is time for you to take a moment to think whether you are spending too much on gambling now. Chasing your loss or ignoring it are not a good idea at all.

Word cannot express how stupid this is, clearly a big mistake in managing bankroll, I am sure I will never lose 50 BTC in gambling. Key to gambling is managing your bankroll, stay away from luck games, like slots and dice and focus more on games where skill has to have at least 50% impact on the choosen game like sports betting or poker.

OMG 50BTC is really very huge amount and lost them just for gambling is really bad, mostly it depends on bankroll how much any person can afford to lose but that is showing how much greedy we are and can lose by gambling with hope to make some profit there.

Sorry to hear that dude, if i can tell you something never gambling in condition emotion because like you got now lose 50 btc. maybe at that time you think i must get back what i lose so in the last you lose 50 btc after lose you will think that's a huge amout but it's too late.

That's a huge huge loss. I don't think anybody must put bet of that amount of money. sports is always unpredictable , anything and everything can happen in sports. 50 btc ?  I would have lived happily in the interest for the rest of my life .

This should be a lesson for everyone those who say they are sure about the victory of some team.I feel sorry for the loss of this guy and once again it is proven that gambling is quickest way to loose everything.All this is greed which leads us towards things which are too risky.There will be regrets even if this guy has 5 times more money.50 Bitcoin is not money someone can forget easily.

50 Bitcoins is such an big amount of money, hope the person who lost it is okay, if I lost 50 Bitcoins, I think I will be sad for a long time :(

50BTC is a huge amount of money to lose. Of course it always depends on the financial status of the person that lost it, so in some cases this might just be dust for someone. Personally I would never risk that amount of money in gambling since no matter how "sure" you are about winning, gambling is still gambling and there's always the chance to lose what you wager.

If he can gamble 50BTC it means he is rich and do not really care his bitcoins,there are some people who never safe money because they think they are rich enough and will never run out of money.

if you lose 50 bitcoins on gambling you are that stupid. Do you even know how much 50 bitcoins are not just 50 stupid
coins but 50 times the amount of 400 dollar. So just think again what you lose with gambling instead of winning. Gambling
is just an addiction.

I can't gamble huge bitcoins even i'm sure about my bet.. I am still afraid to lose in betting sites because there's still possibility that you will lose..
If i am lose 50 btc in gambling it won't me cry but i'll regret because its hard to collect 50 bitcoins.. it takes 9 months or 1 year before i can reach 1 btc..
so i think the man who lose 50 bitcoin are rich.. and he don't care even he lost it..

Sorry for your huge 50 btc loss. I don't gamble much and my biggest loss ever was only 0.1 btc which is not really a big deal for me. I don't feel particularly sad nor angry about my small loss.

if i lose only 10 btc i will stop gambling don't need to lose more i will collect again that 10 btc from trading if you have 40 btc it need only 2 month to get that 10 btc again.

Losing 50 Bitcoins is not the best thing to lose because you could made much money with so much Bitcoins. This is why I do not like spending my Bitcion because I know that I can make money with it.

I never had so big loss, but always when i hit any decent loss i make brake, usually 2 - 3 weeks ;)

But if someone play with such amounts it means two things: or is rich enough, or is already addicted. If is rich - thats no problem, if it is second  option should definitely stop playing.

If i have 50 bitcoin i will never go with the total amount and because it is a good amount for me i will try to use 1 % for gambling (about 1 BTC) , Also i will use 40 BTC for trading . the rest will be in my wallet .
So i will never gamble with 50 btc in all case because the possibility to loose is very high .

I will not feel lost 50 BTC, because I would not dare to bet that much.
but if I were in that position, it all depends on the situation. if you bet 50 BTC means you have a lot of BTC. and lost 50 BTC probably will not be too sick. but if the 50 BTC is the final balance, maybe it can make me crazy.

Thats a very bad lose, even if you have a lot of spare btcs after losing 50 btc I would feel bad as if you convert their value in money I think the person lost more than 20.000 USD or just 20.000 USD which is a very big sum to be lost in online gambling especially via Bitcoin which is a valuable coin. I have never cried so far even with my losses but I would probably have cried if this thing had happened to me.

Even if he is a professional player he lost 50 btc, something unbelievable ... Why he bet so much? I wonder what this guy was thinking about time to bet? he will be one of those people addicted to games that sell everything you have just to take part in betting games?

I feel the loss of it ... if I would have left my pc.

50 bitcoin is such a big money for me, but maybe for him it's not, if i lost 5 bitcoin on gambling, i definetly will depression, and leave this habit, actually  It never crossed my mind to gamble with big amount just with 25 % of my asset, after check that link i think he is rich man and he just looking for some entertainment

Big money for many of us. I feel you man, and now you don't need to lose even more. So don't let this bad bet make you do something even more crazier.
Chill a bit and after you can try something big again.
I'm sure that is not first big bet, and for sure its not last. Good luck man!

Losing is always bad. When I lose I feel the emptiness inside and sometimes my head is spinning. And all that from comparably small losses. I never gamble with amounts I can't afford to lose. Can't even imagine losing 50 BTC.

You lose 50 bitcoins im sorry to hear that.. if im losing the same amount like that i will be regret because for me its a lot of money..
And i can buy anything with that amount of bitcoins.. And its very hard to collect bitcoin because year by year the price of bitcoins gradually increased..

OMG you lost 50 BTC in a single game you know you have lot of guts to bet like this or you are a rich kid or else this is not possible for normal person. What is this 50 BTC how much money if i have this much BTC means i am sure i will not bet single 1 BTC also. You are crazy mate and i so sorry for your big loss. So sad for me also i don't know how you control your feelings when you lost that game.

this is just wrong!
i will never do such a thing so i can't even imagine what i would do i lost 50BTC in gambling. that is just a lot of money to take risk on.

No one will try this until they have huge money in there account or those who become millionaire in gambling they can try this seriously this is i can not imagine in my dream also loosing 50 BTC in a single shot. If it happend to me means i don't know how i will react for that just loss 0.04 BTC i was become sad for owl week but here 50 BTC really you are great man.

Damn dude ,you got some serious balls but no..brain....Risking that amount of bitcoins on a match which you were not sure of was probably not a good idea.I mean you could pay 0.10 bitcoins and get a  expert advise from the professional tipsters.

That is a lot of money and that can of course happen with Bitcoin because it happens really often that you can lose some money with gambling and that is bad.
You must also dont spend that much money with gambling because it is only just made for fun.

Dammit losing 50 bitcoins is insane, if i'd lose 50 bitcoins i would go nuts. well you're doing the same thing as most of us do when we lose, creating thread,angry on yourself etc.. you'll cool off after sometimes. (at least i did when i'd lost biggest amount i had)

Well it would be pretty difficult that I lose 50 BTC gambling, simply because I don't have 50 BTC, so I would need to reach that balance first...
I will never lose any amount of BTC that is relevant or worth mentioning, because i don't do heavy gambling, only for fun, it's always less than 0.1 BTC loses for me.

50 bitcoins is more than 20 thousand dollars. I don't even dare to bet more than 50 dollars on sports and it would be insane to risk that much to bet. I would go crazy if I lose that amount of money in a bet.

"Access denied" I don't see your link but I can imagine how to feel when you lost 50BTC. Personally I lost 5-6BTC in a couple times but never had 50BTC to bet and lose. If you don't have good wage that would be devastating but if you have a serious income you can always cover your losses. If I had 500BTC I would play with 50BTC but if I have 50-60BTC I'd never bet them all.

50btc is not a small sum. it is like 20,000usd. that can be a few years of salary for some of us. and even more impossible to save up such amount of money.

That is allot of money that he lost I am sure that it hurt him. This is exactly why I do not like gambling with Bitcoins they are just way to valuable for me to just take the risk and gamble with them.

sports betting is not my favorite gambling,and not weird if i dont shock when see that people lose 1.37 BTC,its normal,i think sports betting is not easy,whe should predict with good analytical,soccer or basketball is the most common sports betting,if you want won on that bet,you should ask and consult to sports caster or commentator.

Thats painful lossing such 50btc in just one bet. But I guess that person is damn rich because he really got the balls to bet 50btc. Only rich people can do that without hesitation.

Oh my god 50 btc is so high amount for me as that could be enough for me to cover all my living expenses for more than 5 years here. I even can't imagine putting that much btc in single bet, you really seem to be gambling addict. sorry for your loss.

Well you never know, his 50btc bet might be yours 0.005. Maybe he has a bankroll of 1000 coins? Think about it :D

or it can even be a fake stats. think about that :D

but aside from sceptisism i always wonder about these things, about people who bet big. i wonder if they are really that naive to bet this much!

That is a huge amount to lose, but we don't know how much money this person has.  To him it may not be that big of a deal.  I don't risk anywhere near that kind of money because it's just to risky.

Betting with amount is wrong unless you got them in 2009 2010 ...they are so much money irl i would rather help someone in need for money rather than playing with that much

But is sure is only a single bet or the player have balanced bet to another site for have a surebets (and have lose 50 btc to nitrogen and win in another site)?
is a first time a see a single bet accepted for sport book with this amount

For some people who live in Developed country Like Most Countries In europe Maybe 50 Btc Are Only average amount They could Earn That 50 Btc Again within 2 Months Or So. Nothing wrong with the bet that he made. He just have too much money to held maybe?

Honestly even its in europe its very hard to earn that amount fast unless if you have a business online related in bitcoin.. and maybe he is halving fun with his bitcoin because maybe he can earn 5 btc or more in a week..
There's no wrong in his bet and only reach people can bet this amount..

That is a very large amount to lose and I consider that as real bad luck although why would go stay gambling, 50 bitcoins is a lot of money you can do a lot of other things with it to make more or for any enjoyments.

If you can lose such an amount with gambling you know the risk. Which is why I don't feel sad for you, while I would be happy if you had won. So come on, gambe more, maybe you win because gambling is meant to make people rich.

OMG!! 50 btc ,lose ur self dude

yeah , for example an electrical engineer in france could earn around €70,000/€80,000 annually , and a lawyer in france could earn €150,000 up to €180,000 annually . so 50 btc = worth around €20,000 could earned within 2 months. but well it's still big amount for most of us not for them who are have good earning source.

That is pretty bad that you have so many coins if you sold all these coins right now you would make quiet a bit of money. This is why you need to know how to manage your money and when to stop with gambling.

that's the point , people should know the risk of gamble if they must use money that they afford to lose , if that person choose to bet that 50 btc , it means he must ready to lose it because gambling is gambling. what you get only win or lose

if you can afford to lose 50 coin the problem doesn't exist, if you can't afford to lose it but you gambled it away you're a stupid

Before making a bet, you should realize there is always a chance (be it high or low) for you to lose the bet. You should ask yourself the questions "Can I take the loss? How should I cope with it?" beforehand. If you find it hard to cope with that potential loss, it tells you a clear message that you are risking too much already.

A couple of years ago I lost like 2 or 3 Bitcoins in one session, that definitely didn't feel too good and I quit gambling for a long time after that.
Now I don't even gamble with such high amounts.

In this current year in January month , I lose 30 btc on satoshimines.  From that day , I also stop gambling .

In my situation losing such amount is extremely frustrating I would have to go to a monk or a priest and a physician to help me cope with the situation ,but it's not about money just think if you have all the wealth in the world and you had a cancer and you're going to die tomorrow that's the hard one to cope just think about it and maybe you can cope with your huge loses..

Seriously man risking that much amount was a very foolish decision. However seems like you are too trapped with gambling addiction problem. I wouldn't have  risked that much amount. i would have betted 1 BTC max and would have cursed myself if i lose that much amount of money. Anyways sorry for your lose, you really must be pissed of losing money equal to nearly two bitcoin block rewards

Ouch.
Anything over $100 hurts me.
I'd go to the movies then to the bar after if I lost $25k
You can buy a lot of stuff with 25k..

But again it happens.
Assuming he had that much to gamble,
you must have large bankroll. (again assuming)

Step away from the computer. Spend some time with family and friends.

Move all btc into offline wallet and forget for a while....

Hope things turn around for you sir.

Indeed its just not smart, its way too much if you ask me, you could do many other things with such amounts.
Even if you would simply hold it you would make nice profits, I call this stupid!

im more intrested how you got 50 bitcoins at first place (not that it matters with the thread)

well this kind of loss is just for a heartattack

if I lose 50 BTC I will not be sad, because when I bet with a very big amount, it means I have a lot of BTC.

No way 50 bitcoins loss in gambling, oh my God, For me 50 btc is a big amount, i m playing gambling and most of the time i loss it, but i have never loss a big amount, actually i don't have it now,if i have it and than i lost it, it became a heart-attack for me because in this moment i have no any option and i never want to look gambling again in my life.

I would feel dumb and stupid after losing such a big some if that's all my hard-earned money, but if I am rich, I wouldn't mind losing it anyway and just utter "oh well" because that's how gambling works. Sheesh, a fat lose. Can't imagine it happening to me. For the record, I only lose <0.1 btc by gambling.

if I lose 50 BTC in gambling, I do not know what I would do. I might be depressed. 50 BTC it is money very many friends, it can make the good life in a few years

That is really painful to lose 50 bitcoins and that show how much any person can be greedy and can lost with hope to make fortune there, i remembered very long time i lost around 3 btc by using martingale and to recover just few cents there.

wow, that is a dumb move. betting this much money is not a good idea and i believe that only a gambling addict will make such a big mistake and make such a big bet,
and now looking at the result we can all agree that was a bad decision that lead to a huge loss.

If someone has more than enough bits can be spend, he can do anything for fun and without doubt. But since we are can't afford to lose as much as him, we will called him, insane gambler ! How stupid ! ,etc.
No matter what, people are greed so they will seek more and more. And if they are lose, they will feel regret !

Please tell me what's the fun to waste 50 bitcoins?

Belive me or not, if i would have that much i would not gamble them, but giving them to poor childern or other organisations,even now that i am far from being rich i do do donate 100$ each month.

But gambling 50 coi s away is just someone who is very sick in his head!

We don't know for sure how big that gambler's bankroll is. 50 Bitcoins can be just a small fraction of his/her net worth like 5% or 10% or whatever it is. Why do you assume that user is insane just because a lot of money was wagered and lost? Rich people have more money to bet with thus the bet amounts will be much bigger than general population bets. For example all the famous sports stars are driving cars for thousands of dollars. Why don't they sell their expensive toys and donate the cash for charitable causes? Because they can do whatever they want with their cash that's why.

If a person have capacity to loose 50 btc , them he must be having more than 100 or 300 btc. If means  jf he dare to loose 50 btc which means 50 btc is a dust amount for him.

it was real G bet right??

i witness that bet too because i following his pick...but i think he win more than he lost

Oh my god 50 bitcoin lose only on one bet
unfortunately mate,not lucky this time
and next time better not gambling with huge money

That is a lot of money mate but you have to be careful when you are gambling so it is a bit your own fault I think because you can better play next time with small amounts.
And the bad thing is that you dont must to be greedy otherwise you are losing a lot of money.

Well it is bitcoin very much. we do not know the future will be like nothing, gain or loss, but most likely will be a loss. if it loses 50 BTC does not drive you crazy, it was something extraordinary. we should be careful in gambling, not just 50 BTC, even losing 1 BTC alone in gambling can already make you a headache

Wow :(
I could not lose that much, since I go by the saying "don't play what you don't afford to lose". I've lost in gambling at some point much-much more than I could afford (however, much less than your $22k), it was some 20 years ago, and I've learned my lesson: never again.
Back then I was very angry on myself for many days...

50 BTC equals 22500$ , I will be silly if I lost it in gambling ,I use gambling for fun only and I don't gamble with big amount of Bitcoin , let us be rational , we know that gambling sites earn millions of dollars every month ,  so they are the big winner , why every day we listen about new casino or sport gambling site , that because gambling is moneymaking for them .

aw that lost, if i lose that kind of amount, i will get angry, and drink all night

I'll completwly loose myself if I lost as much as that. LOL. :D
I'm not gonna bet that high anyway. Even if I am rich enough to afford loosing such money I won't! Anyway, my bigget loss was only around 0.1 BTC or 0.2 BTC I forgot but it's between those. I have been trying to recover my loss but ended up losing more. I have learnt my lesson. :D

Doesn't matter how many bitcoins you have , a loss of 50BTC is still a loss .Your ego will be damaged more to see it losing on a sports match.I feel sad that OP took the decision of putting all in one together.Gambling is bad ..mkayy

I felt really bad losing my $50 bet on baseball. How much more If it was 50 btc. I would provably hate myself.

I can't gamble such a big amount like that if i lose 50 btc i will regret every day.. this amount if you convert it to money you can buy car or anything you want.. I think this is the old bitcoin user who had made a lots of bitcoins before thats they dont regret about his bet..

I am gambling small amount and after seeing such a huge bet which is unfortunately lost one.Can only dream to have 50 Bitcoins.I will not go even near gambling if I own such amount.It was just mistake because never go with such high bet even you can afford to loose.It hurts anyway when you remain a money which is in thousands.

That is really sad to see how any person lost that huge amount for gambling, i think when someone get greedy than he can take risk of that huge amount there.

off course he may buy anything from this money 50 BTC is equal to 22 thousand dollars this is not funny one year salary for normal person. seriously he is very hard heart person if i have 50 BTC means i wil bet max to max 5 btc in a single time or less only not more than that. We need guts to bet like this but i don't have.

That would have so much to lose need to be either a rich man or to know which team will win 100%, and this is possible only in a contractual match (imho)

before I bet the amount, I already prepare to lost it, gambling has a huge risk, thats why only gamble the amount you can afford to lose
if i lose that amount of money i will be very upset even though i alredy prepare to lose the money

Losing 50 bitcoins because of gambling is just insane, I consider this as very addicted and I cannot even believe you have lost such a big amount.
With 50 bitcoins you can do a lot even with holding you would make profit why would you gamble with such amounts...

Actually losing 50 coins is nothing when we compare to other important cases of failed gamblers whose greedy tendencies led them to lose millions. Additionally, when someone is willing to lose that amount of money, perhaps he also will find the proper way to recover it easily.

50 btc is a lot!!! it is more than the average can lose.

When you bet with 50 BTC, mean you have more than 50 BTC that's why you bet so big may be it's nothing for you

Either your rich or your very greedy. Why bet so much in one game ? Split the bet and bet on both sides ?

I'm sure someone would bet with a very large amount in a single bet, they are quite rich.

not possible if he only had 50 BTC then he bet on something that is a big risk

What is to invest 50 BTC for a bet there obviously could not solve . I would like to expand the money I usually start with a small bet. :(

if he has lost 50 btc than maybe it is same like 500000 sat for me,does nitrogen has that kind of liquidity to pay if he win,looks like desperado,maybe he make a mistake

i dont really get what you mean. Why bet on both side? you will end up getting back with you bet and in worst case, you will end up losing all.

I think its just insane to gamble with 50 BTC. Most people will never own 1 BTC, and you bet 50 in a single play, I mean taht is just nuts. I would kill to own 50 BTC, I don't think I will ever achieve that number, and there's people out there gambling it all at once. What a crazy world.

Losing 50 bitcoins is just not possible in my eyes, I think if you can lose this amounts you are pretty rich and addicted to gambling for sure.

so sad to see people lost money just because other people game,its hard to believe if we just lost money so easy without any effort,that was shi side of betting,esspesially bet on sports,its why i never like bet on sports.

Someone lose 50btc does not mean that he has a lot of btc, how it those 50btc is the only btc you have? Wouldn't you be sad?
On other side losing 50btc is still a big amount no matter how much btc you have. Losing such amount is still a bad experience imo.

Oh 20000 $

I think some people just have to much money...

I always keep wondering that how can users even afford to lose 50-100 BTC and even bet such a big amount. If they are millionaires, why do they even need to be a part of bitcoins or gambling websites or if they aren't, this may just be a pocket money for them. Honestly, I don't even bother about users losing in gambling as the user should have been aware of it from first.

If someone that doesn't have a lot of BTC, loses 50 BTC in a single gamble, that means that person is mentally insane and should not be anywhere a casino ever again. That is the worst wealth management I can think off.

That hurts man.

Wow 50 bitcoins, I can't even make one yet. If I lost 50 bitcoin in would probably become suicidal. In would never risk that in one bet that's crazy. I could do so much with that money. Would rather invest in a hedge fund and let it grow slowly and safely at %20 per year.

yes all most every one thinking is same if we loss 50 BTC in single game means we will commit suicide except rich gamblers. Normal gamblers will never come back with this biggest loss ever. If i recived this message means may be i will get heart attack. according to me if we played 3 to 4 years continuesly with profit then only we can make 50 BTC or else it is not possible.

Probably yes. To gamble such big amounts is just not worth unless you have a lot of money to waste. For me, even 0.1-0.2 BTC is a huge amount while 50 BTC is unimaginable. It can be OK for users who have owned coins since 3-4 years else it doesn't make sense to gamble 50 BTC. The gambling website earned a lot of profit from this bet.

we can't know why this bet was placed... but as better :D I can say there is anything wrong.
A strong better play hard, even 100 btc (40000 $ or more) in a single match...
Some one has already see on bf.com how many money are placed :D ?

50 btc for a "good" better are a normal bet... probably there is a big stake worth 50 btc x 100 , and this is only one of a lot of bets...
Who play this sums normally know what do..... and it's a risk inside the possibility to lose all ... so nothing strange...

What everybody is saying here is correct. Losing 50-100BTC might be alot to most of us, but you don't know that betters financial situation, he might be some rich Saudi with $50,000,000 dollars in his bank account. And 100BTC for him is chump change.

yes 50 bitcoins are allot. If you just lose it whyle gambling you will feel such a lost feeling. Not only because you lose 50 bitcoins but is you now how many 50 bitcoins are. That amount of cash you never want to lose while gambling so never start gambling you will never lose that much.

Sports betting is still profitable at times and people bet such big amounts as they might have earned it with their earlier bets.

If it's the case, it's fine else they took a big risk and lost it. I hope they don't again come back and bet a bigger amount to recover their losses.

Yup, a lot of us that lost 50-100 that BTC is very large and numerous. but keep in mind that this rich people in the world above us that much and they have a very large account, so if they lose 50-100 that BTC is common. Can only improve our mindsets and working hard so our lives could be above the rich people

It would break my hard if I would lose 50 bitcoins because of gambling. If you would sell your 50 coins right now then you would have at least make $20,000. This is way I do not gamble that much I know that I am going to lose.

It depends. Every case is different. If you are poor bettor with total 2 BTC and you decide to wager all of it and lost.
Then I guess you can be more devastated than someone who own more than 2000 BTC and lost only 50 from that pile.

losing 50BTC is still hard it is worth around 12,500 USD you can't say nobody cares about losing 12 thousand in one single bet even if they are rich they will feel the hit pretty hard.

this is crazy anyways just to lose that much money in gambling whether it is over a long time or in one single bet that you made a wrong move. I would never do such a thing even if I am super rich.

But of course, it is still HUGE amount of money. It is more that my total number of BTC and would never want to gamble with that.
But realistically it is not all BTC Op owns and he will recover. And if he gamble with all his money he is just idiot and nothing can help him.
So I assume he owns more that 500 BTC at least. It is pure speculation tho.

no I think is not crazy because we don't know others bet :D

Well this is also a handicap bet, a nice odds, I think this is not an "error" ;)

im actually trembling after reading the bet, im not sure if i will be able to recover from
a  trauma after losing that huge amount of bitcoin, i calculated the amount of bitcoin
to our fiat currency and its 1million peso in total. i dont know if its stupidity or bravery
that he/she has.

The user must be confident that he can earn his money back when he bet that amount but it's sad that mostly all sports games are fixed and which team earns the maximum in betting, that team is the winner. That's why I bet with amounts that I earn as a profit and hence I don't lose my fiat money.

this is the craziest thing that i have ever seen in gambling so that is why i think it can even be a fake number :)

and also i would never do the same thing that is a lot of bitcoin lost especially now that it is worth a lot and rising.

did you lose 50 coins while gambling then the onlky thing i couls say to you is that you are a bastard. Why are you playing like a fool dont gamble with that amount of coins dont you know how much its worth.

Mate,he owns those coins.Why are you calling him a bastard ? Why are you jelly ? Also he was not plain gambling but sports betting which is kind of justified but he should have been a little bit careful.The win amount was 37BTC,not a bad risk at all!

If it was the only BTC he had and lost it, he is a fool. A big one. If I gamble all the property and assets I own, would anyone feel pity on me? No. Gambling is a game and should be played only for entertainment.

Well think about it this way. Say you had 50 BTC in your Bitcoin wallet and your computer crashed and you couldn't recover it. Would you feel just as bad as losing it to gambling? Probably not since it was your fault and not the outcome of the dice.

That is a lot of Bitcoin that you lost and that have to change because you must dont lose a lot of money with gambling because that is all wasted and that have to change.
But the bad thing is that you must know that there will be a lot of people must realize that gambling is bad to do.

Indeed that is really a lot of bitcoins that you lost, I think its even insane that you have lost this, with so much bitcoins you easily could have make profit this year due to the halving.

Losing 50 Bitcoin with gambling must be pretty hard breaking I would never forgive my self if I would have lost so much bitcoins. I do not think that it is a smart way to spend so many coins on gambling like that.

I think the one who lost such a huge amount of bitcoin might be a fool. If he doesn't know some strategy or something about sports betting, dice or racing also have the possibility to earn because gambling to an extent depends upon luck. So if he had spent little by little at least loss of 50btc can be avoided.

That is so bad to hear because that is a lot of money that is all wasted and that is bad that you are greedy so that have to change and you need to play with small amounts.
So you are not losing that much money when you are losing and saving money will be also nice.

if only i have 50 bitcoins, i will not bet it in one game, but regardless losing 50 bitcoins in gambling will really hurt me so much, i can do many things with 50 bitcoins already , like investing, shopping , gambling in real world casino and buy myself another 2nd hand car :) anyways @topic starter hope you recover bro,

Losing so much is not a great thing I would be hart broken and I would never forgive my self if I would lose so many coins. Let this be a lessons for the next time you gamble. 

oh man,why still playing gambling when you lose 30 or 40 Bitcoins?its totally gambling addict,if you lost 1 or 2 bitcoins,you should know that 1 or 2 bitcoins are really precious and hard to get,if you consider about that,i'm sure you will stop to play before lost 50BTC

1 or 2 btc is actually quite big to me too but i have seen people who can lose like 100-200btc within a night. The amount is really shocking.

50 BTC is a lot of money. :)

I would be very angry about myself for weeks.

I hope i can gamble in the future with such amounts.

50BTC is a lot of money for most of us and even if you can afford it, to gamble that amount is selfish and not to mention boarder line retarded. But, saying that he was betting on sports where s/he has probably won a lot previously and more than likely had the bankroll to do. I personally would not gamble such an amount even though I could afford too, losing it would make me think what it could have done for someone else who needed it.

stake huge amount like that always make us regret , imagine if you make that 50 bitcoin as a parlay in sportsbetting each 1 bitcoin with odds @10 , it's possible earn you 10x50 = 500 bitcoin potential winning :D . but well it has been done.

It all depends on how big your bankroll is, for me losing such a big amount would be pretty devestating.
But for high rollers it would mean nothing perhaps

Although I am regular gambler but I am not without mind.I will never place a bet not even of 1 BTC.Sometimes I try to win big but without maximum of 0.02 BTC on some sites where is possibility.This is just stupidity to play with 50 BTC.You can not be sure that you will 100 % in any type of gambling.

No doubt 50 bitcoins is really big amount and i am dreaming to make this at the moment, that is why i am in huge shock to see this somebody had lost this really big amount there, i never place bet larger than 0.01 btc because i can't afford to lose big amount.

Losing 50 bitcoins is a pretty large amount and I even think this is almost difficult to lose because its just such a large amount how have you done this...

How would a 50btc bet be more difficult to lose than a smaller bet? OP's bet (Golden State Warriors -6.5) would still be a losing bet no matter if the wager is 0.01 btc or 50 btc.

That is bad example of gambling how any person can be lose with chance to make guaranteed profit, no doubt 50 btc is very huge amount and it can show us how risky can be gambling and how much we can lose there, if play without any limit because responsible gambling can reduce our risk factor.

OMG 50 BTC that is very large amount and i am just wishing to get this to fix my life.

you should be more careful in gambling. Imagine if bitcoin that you use for investments, maybe this time you just need to watch tv and relax, because you already have income from your investment outcome was. or you can menggukannya to trade and open up new business in the real world, if it was me, maybe I was crazy to lose bitcoin much. it is something very bad

gamble only what you can afford to loose.

If you lost 50BTC in bitcoin casinos, it means that you could loose it.
I guess that the casino owner is happy.

right, if it is the final balance him and bet everything was very stupid. so I had a view that he has a lot of BTC. and it does not belong to the OP, it belongs to someone else, so we do not know about this truth.

Firstly I don't have that much coins to lose. Secondly, the person was very unlucky, 50 btc is a big amount.
I can't even imagine how that person would have reacted. When I lose my money in gambling, I start sweating and shouting.

If I had 50 BTC I would wait for ETH to crash and buy the dip, because im sure ETH will keep pumped again, but right now is undervalued, so entering with a strong 50 BTC position would be insane, but once it crashes, it will keep pumped again because there are a lot of idiots that think ETH will surpass BTC so the hype is real. A good ETH short could make you real nice money.

yeah,another big loss on gambling,and another people stop playing (just my guess)
its always horrible to see people who lost so many bitcoin on gambling,and its make us little worry and consider to play safe with small amount,because people more like to post their loss than post their won on gambling.

Usually, those who lose big is those who either has previously buy btc when they are cheap so they can afford to spend so much, but when they cool down and think about the real value of 50btc now, it is no longer a small amount.

50 bitcoins can changed my life. I don't know what will I do if I lose that amount.

I am sorry to hear that that you lost so much money and I think also that it is your own fault because you started to gamble and you have to know that you can lose a lot of money.
So it would be much smarter if you are spending not that much money in gambling and save also some money.

I know myself i can't afford to lose that kind of huge amount of 50 bitcoins, i don't know how can any person can place that kind of bets to lose this amount, i think any body can start some reasonable business in real life instead to doing this stupidity.

That is horrible to see big lose in a single bet there and it shows how risky is gambling and we can lost all our money on very strong team too, as i think when somebody get more greedy than he could took risk of that kind of large amount but it is really shocking for me.

This obviously is a foolish bet 50 bitcoin and took a single bet, with handicap is quite risky. but okay if he has a lot of bitcoin was not a problem, but if it's the last bitcoin, really stupid.

I feel I would of spread the 50 BTC over many different sporting events, You put many eggs in one basket and where the basket breaks your left with no egg's!

Why did you not just bet ML (To win only) not score points!?

What a bad luck lost 50BTC just in a single shot but i think that kind of huge stake mostly depend on very large bankroll so if someone afford to take risk with very big amount than he must have so many bitcoins in bankroll that is why he placed this kind of bet.

maybe he will kill the admin  :D

I am into great shock what 50 BTC lost by someone, i am just dreaming to have that amount ;D

Gambling is a losing man's game. There is a reason why businesses, casinos, etc can make profits off it. Hard work always pays off. Nice man keep it up.

50 bitcoins in a single bet that was really big risk and unfortunately something bad happened with this, i personally can't afford to take risk more than 0.10 btc on any sure bet because it depends how much money we have in reserve and i think there is no doubt that person is rich man that is why he placed so big amount in a single bet.

Gambling is gambling. It doesn't take any skills. You can use any strategy you want but in the end you won't be able to affect the score/result. Since you lost 50btc like in one bet i don't think that's was all you got. Stay cool, stay away from gambling.

Gambling is an addiction for most. You can't really just say "stop"

They have to have a reason, otherwise they'll find it super hard. A real, personal, painful reason. Like this. Like losing a 25k.

If i lost 50 bitcoins in gambling with the current rate now, oli would probably call myself an addict. Funny but it's already equivalent to millions in our currency and being able to lost that much is not a good thing. Maybe regret that i lost it thru that and for sure will make a lesson for me to always set limitations especially in gambling for it's really tempting.

Yes, but this was in may 2016. when bitcoin price was 400$, $20K can't be compared to $300K.
Probably this player had $20K which he could afford to lose, I know it sounds big to you and me and most people here, but rich people are gambling too and this is probably nothing to them.

Well If I lost 50 btc ... I might go nuts lol

What you told is correct as this bet is in btc that is why it make difference because of when the bet was made that time btc price was very low and if you calculate in usd then that much of bet as usually made by big gamblers so it wont have affected him, but thinking of betting with this much high bet you wont have guts to bet it. and even the gambling site also wont support that much high bets.

Simply suffocating chest when experiencing defeat, about a month ago i lost gambling that i think big around 3btc in dice gambling. I am not provoked emotion to make a bigger deposit even though i am capable, in fact i am still positive think that 3btc is missing isn't mine. And letting it pass is better, than thinking about what's gone.

On those times those gamblers wouldnt really be affected but yet 50 bitcoins on those times is still big and only a whale could afford to do make such betting. If we do try to look on its current rate on that 50 bitcoins it is almost $285k which it is really too much on wasting up playing gambling and for sure gambler would remember this moment will surely regret on how much cost did he lost up.

They probably did not think that bitcoin price will skyrocket and only bought bitcoin for the sake of gambling. And yes even if bitcoin at that time is just $400 its still a big money to waste he must be very rich man who throw away his $20,000 money in gambling.

I can't bear it, because it is not a small lose, when this thread was come then in that date, bitcoin has no biggest rate, and now bitcoin has too much biggest price then definitely if anyone have that lose of 50 btc then it is not easy to bear it. Even i don't want to think about it. In gambling it is nature we will get lose, but if we accidentally have lost of 50 btc then it is hard.

The first thought when you find out that someone lost 50 BTC as a result of failed bet is obviously: "OMG this is crazy it is a LOT of money, it is a crazy huge loss"!
But in reality most of the people who bet a huge amount of money like that are part of ultra-early adopters club, they probably have like thousands of BTC stockpiled around.
It is not a big loss then you lost 50 BTC and still have more than 10.000 more to spend on gambling, right?

Even when i lose $10 gambling i get very pissed knowing full well that i could have used the money to buy beer and i really dont get carried away when gambling and i see that i am losing continuously i just stop.

One thing i am not sure is how is he able to wage a single 50 bitcoin bet at one go,i am really skeptical because i am sure no site will allow you to wage that much coin at one go and that too with odds for 1.7 ,either way it is a really big loss and the single most loss i have seen in one bet ,i could be wrong because the said bet is done during 2016 but if i remember correctly we could not wage that much amount in a single bet.

You would think so, but most gamblers do not work like that, if the person that lost that bet can afford it then that is fine but I think this was not the case, maybe he was using some martingale system and he was forced to make that huge bet in order to recover his previous losses.

ON may, 17th 2016, 50BTC was around 20 000€, today 20 k€ is less than 5BTC. It's quite some money, but isn't as impressive as a 50BTC loss today.

Even 20 000€ money is not a small amount to lose for most of the people. I think these high rollers look like very early Bitcoin investors so they will not worry much to bet so high. But I don't think now with such high price anyone will be ready to spend so many bitcoins on these games. It's really a huge amount to lose.

I never have an amount like that even back then on mid 2016. If i lose 50 btc in gambling i definitely suicide after that haha. I never bet a huge value in a single bet i still prefer betting on a small amount atleast i don't have any regrets when I lose. even in a small amount you can win a big prizes just play gambling for a long run and you can see your winnings after that.

Of course I will be frustrated and regret, I will feel I become the stupidest person in the world, but I am sure that person already prepared to lost that amount, gambling is about luck even with the sport betting sometimes skills is not enough to make you win,  I ever lost 1 btc to the sport betting, one of the most memorable lost is because the player injured so the match was cancelled and I lost my money

If he buy the bitcoin at current prices it must be a huge amount, but how if he buy on 5-6 years ago, and he got a lot of profit from this day.
I assume he already profit and just try his luck, or maybe he wrong put the deposit address. who knows

In the event that I lost 50 bitcoins in a gamble, then I would inevitably be depressed and reflect on my actions as an individual with priorities. That is primarily the reason why gambling has the potential in destroying your life when it comes to decision making. It creates this endless illusion of you betting and betting again regardless of your winnings or losings. Gambling can never be profitable in the long-run and that link is the living example of it especially when YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN AND HOW TO STOP gambling.

damn that is tough man but it was 2016

50 bitcoins is a big money. If I loss that huge money I'll definitely be stressed and cry every time I think about it. Imagine what kind of things or goods you can buy to that huge amount of money.

Since that this thread still continue I was wondering how hard this things for that person now, as he seen the value of btc after a year losing that from gambling but thinking more about how big the value turned after that's really a big stress that will hunting your mind if you will put yourself in his shoes.

First of all, only richest man could use 50 bitcoins in gambling, and then if anyone losing 50 bitcoins in gambling. It is a huge destroy of lose. Personally, i am not one of them who will play gambling with a big money like 50 bitcoins, and secondly if imaginary i will play gambling and i have lost then may be i will die on the spot.   

Well angry, frustrated and regretful of course. However, at the end of the day, it’s all about choices. I stood by there and watched my 50 bitcoins fly away, so I have myself to blame for it.

I will never allow myself to lose such a huge sum. Usually I can lose about 1 bitcoin per month since these are very valuable coins and I can not lose them so easily.

50 bitcoins in slip is a huge bet indeed, that slip was on Warriors though which is really favourited to win. Really bad luck to him, that must be feels really sucks to him. We don't know him though, maybe 50btc is cheap for him.

At most I have lost 0.5btc in a single bet and after that I have limited the money with which I gamble. And when I lost 0.5btc I was a beginner, but that gave me lesson for a lifetime that I should always first understand the thing that I am going in otherwise it can cause trouble for me. There have also been many instances in which I have lost about 0.1 btc a number of times in cricket and football bets, so I left sports betting for some time and now I just stick to online casinos.

put much money on a single bet is not possible done by me, too risky. because when I pick a favorite team sometimes doesn't guarantee to win.
But if I lost that much, maybe I am a little crazy because the price of bitcoin is currently very high.

That was too much money too lose in gambling, i do not think that if i have that much amount of bitcoin and lose in bitcoin because now even i have small amount of capital i can generate income if i have that huge income i think i can make much higher profit and i quit my regular job and focus in gambling using my strategy.

It is so easy to become over confident with certain player or team and that often propense people to go off the hook and head for a kill, but like in many of life's events, anything is possible, because time and chance are the ultimate deciders. I learnt a good lesson sometime ago, when I emptied my entire balance on Serena Williams to win, but guess what! That turned out her loss in a long while and it did hurt, but I learnt the lesson. It's really not worth going all in on an bet, there should always be room for another chance, because it's all about chance.

50 BTC on one bet is madness even if one can afford it, I would rather have a custom bot, with stop-loss, run low bets martingale on dice for years.

This is not good idea for any one I sure this person could be over confidence about this and put this huge amount on this one single bet now hope he could in good shape as its not easy to recover from these loses very big amount for me as well I never try with this amount on one single bet

Well i wouldn't say its not easy to recover but it would be almost impossible for a regular person to recover 50 bitcoins or it would take a long time, with much regret, before they can bounce back. So don't be foolish to gamble with that much money

It feels bad losing that huge amount of btc but the worst part is if you would think about it, its price is much expensive compared to its price when you lost it. If I am in your position, I will feel so stressed and angry to myself because everytime I will hear btc reached another ATH then it will always be a reminder to myself on  how stupid I am that I lost more than millions of dollars.

This person must be by this time in hospital or taking sessions with psychologist on daily basis. There are numerous people who have not seen such a big amount even in dreams and this person lost it in gambling. This is the reason why I hate gambling.

This game is totally luck based. You cannot use your knowledge and experience effectively to make money. May God help him to get out of this mental trauma?

If I'm not mistaken 1 bitcoin way back 2016 is $800 (correct me if I'm wrong at this). And by computing 50 bitcoins x $800 = $40,000 dang that's a lot of money thinking about the price was at that rate. It's even more hurtful if you'll trying to compare the price right now 50 bitcoins x $5,500 = $275,000 look at the difference that's totally a lot of money. I'll never do such a mistake just like this, felt sorry for niagwai.

Yes it's really bad sad and mad to lose 50 bitcoins gambling. A few hours ago a friend told me he had 58 bitcoins worth 300 $ in total a couple of years ago. The then thought he made a good deal by selling them. That isn't even better than losing it in gambling  ;D

If we only know what will happen in the future then we will not gamble that money will just hold it, the thing is at the time we gamble we only think of it's value in fiat that's why we allow it to be spent, but who would think of losing, it's just happen that we are unlucky at that time.
It's not actually on my range, I never spend that big number of bitcoin for gambling, I would even cry hard if I lose 1 btc in gambling.

normally it should be a big punch for anybody to suffering that huge loss .

but there's some people who take it easy even they think the amount that they have lost are so crazy high could make them stressed and get a mental illness. just in very few case. still 50 bitcoin are worth around 250k usd today. and everybody should get shocked by today.

If this is some sneaky ass plug... then... you should be ashamed - otherwise, dont hold the emotion in... let it out (but not on anyone else) much better than keeping it bottled up.

In my opinion, you shouldn’t get angry if you lost in a gamble. I mean, losing is part of gambling. And the weight of losing in a gamble is greater than that of winning. You took the risk in the first place. So if you lose, you just simply have to accept it and move on.

Why throw good money over bad money? In trying to recover the 50 BTC, one shall be needs to play with about same amount again and once  again placing very risky bets.  Ideal thing to do her is to let go, take a break, tomorrow is another chance.

There's no way to know what will happen in the future and everything is just speculation when it comes to the price of bitcoin. And we as gamblers we have to be responsible with our funds and we should make sure that we are doing the right thing about it. It's why limiting ourselves when we gamble is the right thing to do and you are not the only one that will cry if you lose 1 bitcoin and even me at 0.5 BTC.

I think playing again gambling to recover that 50 BTC is the worst decision. very rarely you can gain back your lost in gambling so better do some other work to get back your lost then only you can recover your lost or else you will lose some more money in this process.

It is in the process of recovering that you even end up losing more.
Once you have lost that huge amount (which is too much to gamble anyway), the best is to go to someone very quiet and probably shout out on top of your voice and even cry if possible, then get back to doing something more tangible with your life knowing you are done with gambling for life ;D ... I really wont imagine coming back after that kinda loss, cause it would be like being dealt with a huge blow.

I might even have to write to the house edge to at least just pardon my sins if possible. Worst case scenario, a screw in my brain could just get missing.

sorry for the lost mate if im were you i should spend that amount somewhere else or i will goto for vacation together with hot babes lol

I agree .  The player should be a man enough to accept his loses.  It is his decision in the first place and no one pushes him to bet his huge money in gambling.  He do it in his own free will so it would be  embarassing to this guy if he cannot accept his loses.  I guess if that happen to me, ill just move on and shrug my shoulder.  It already happened and I cannot turn back time.

50 btc? such a big amount to lose. I don't know what to do when it happens to me, maybe I will lose my mind and I will be so stressed for losing my bitcoin in gambling. It may take months before I recover myself within that moment. I will let those things as a lesson and don't do it again in the future. I'm going to get rid of this simple game to prevent of losing money

50 btc? Its really hard to ignore such loss no matter how you divert your mind into other thing specially when you see the current price of each bitcoin which it would total $286k++ .Even if you are a whale for sure this kind of loss will really hurt you out.I cant even afford to lose up even 1 BTC or even 0.05 on playing gambling.This is really too much.

Can you imagine losing something close to 300k dollars in a few hours? I will be devastated, that amount of money is enough in my country to buy several properties, and if you hold for a long time and the price of bitcoin becomes higher that could be enough to retire and never have to work again.

Only rich people can gamble so much money like that in few hours and if it's a rich person there is much more money besides the 50 BTCs lost on gambling game. So I think this person wouldn't become mad about it... Probably this person would recover the 50 BTCs really fast with investments or income from any kind of rentable business. We think this is extreme because we don't have much money on our pockets like these big gamblers.  :D

I guess that's true, only rich people gamble this much. But there some people that believe their bet is a sure win because they studied it well or they think the bookies made a mistake or that they have some sort of insider tip, but in the end they lose. Because of the advantage they think they had, they bet a big amount and just lost it.

Even he or she rich losing that value are very very high amount. In our country on that amount you can buy big house and also a sports car. Losing that amount was so unforgettable, maybe you can't sleep on that. Moreover I know that your plan is to back in gambling casinos and try to play again until you reach back the amount you loose.

I agree the problem with player that have no control over themselves is that they keep on going as long as they have fund.  Going all out then regretting when his bankroll got depleted.  We as a gambler should be responsible just like what bhadz stated.  We should act accordingly and adjust our selves in a way that we can minimize losses.  Let us not make ourselves be drifte on the river of greed and drown on the idea of chasing losses.

Yeah the guy is stupid to think he would win that bet. I would not have risked a lot of money to do this.

There are three things to be considered here. The gambler that did this bet would either be an early adopter of bitcoins with thousands and thousands of bitcoins in his wallet, or he is super rich and has a lot of money to waste in gambling (probably he's bill gales, lol), or maybe he is an addicted gambler that tried his luck at it and miserably failed to do so.

I think to gamble my bitcoins has been my worst mistake in the crypto life so far. I should have never used them to play casinos and stuff.
On the long run the house always wins.

On the long run house makes the winning compared to the profiting that users experience. With gambling I've gained good experience about the money management as well the skills required for the goodness of gambling. As the thread states, losing such a bigger amount is not fair, because with the current price user could easily lead an much sophisticated living.

He's one of the early adopters most likely. I think some of those guys have so much BTC we can't imagine. So we shouldn't compare their feelings when they lose 50 BTC to what we would feel being on their place because probably that's much less than 1% of what they are holding.

good for you to have this lesson in life and make sure that you will able to quit and never to come back, gambling is not for everyone those who can survive
with this activity are those who can afford to control their emotions and knows what is there limitations.

This is reality which there are really people who can really take the risk on putting or using huge money in gambling  we cant really force them not to so such thing since they do really have the capability on playing on those ranges which it is actually have the advantage if you have bigger bankroll but the risk is more higher.Even throwing $1000 on gambling already give me the hesitation how much more on that amount.

When he losses 5 btc.he should have realize that luck wasnt on him.and stopped right away.why waited for 50btc .its a big loss that can change life for good.if he only valued the BtC as fiat

But how rich you need to be to be able to lose 50BTC and not regret even if someone had like 1000BTC losing 50 BTC is still 5% of your whole net worth and that is always going to hurt no matter who you are, so unless that person is a whale then he felt that loss.

Losing will always give you lesion and you will remember that mistake in whole of your life, and losing so much amount is relay a havoc because 50 bitcoin is very high amount and in future you must have to gamble at low this is the lesson you must learn and you must have to work on some of skills so that in future you will not face such kind of bumps and afterward there will be progress in your gaming strategy.

Right.Gambling is just for fun,and not to be taken seriously.I'm sure you won't gamble anymore,or if you want it sometimes but not with your bitcoins.That's too much to lose.You work hard just to earn bitcoin so it should not be wasted by any means.Learn to value things that are of biggest importance.

This is one of the reasons that every gambler should have had some sort of seminar or education that taught us that gambling is just for fun and all those concepts we know here on the forum. To be honest, there are a lot of new gamblers that think gambling is a source of income and it could be turned into a livelihood. Well, the are down right wrong, and in the end they end up with huge losses.

It depends on your expectations, if you know from the beginning that gambling is not going to make you money and you are just gambling for fun then losing those bitcoins was not a big deal but if you thought that you could multiply that bitcoin then those were hurtful loses from your part since gambling is not an activity in which you can make money.

But i do not think that 99% people play gambling for fun and enjoyment. it think most of the people play gambling for making money. Gambling attract  people toward itself as they consider gambling the easiest way of making money, but in fact it is not so, gambling is the most risky way of making money and there are always chances that you wall lose your money in gambling, therefore i think the best option is to play gambling in a limit.

I think you are right unfortunately. Most gamblers don't play for fun. Poor people think that gambling is a way to make fast money but in fact it's a way to lose your money fast. But still there are people who gamble to unwind from daily stressful life or from hard work, and they gamble for fun putting limits on their bets and thus not losing much.

lol it's always be a big deal when you lost that much money , your assumption are so wrong. if you think gamble are for having fun only and then of course you will never lost too much money . just an extra money that you can afford to lose. but yeah if you think that 50 btc are something that you can afford to lose then it's gonna be a different story.

WOW.
But I guess that the one who did the best is probably a millionaire.
For me 50btc is an huge amount, but for people who has money it is much easier to lose this amount, I am just surprised that nitrogensports let him place this bet, which was about 100k$ at the time of the best, usually they have a limit cap of about 20K at nba games, amazing!.

I have seen a guy loosing 1000 bitcoins in just one bet on justdice and another guy loosing more than 300+ btc on pd. but at that time btc was much less than 200$. This guy is really crazy or too rich to afford that much of money.

Omg, Its too big amount to lose, I can't believe why he put this high amount of btc in gambling games. As i think now 1000 btc it's worth 5853k$, It's really a crazy guy to do this bet. Maybe as you said, he is too rich to put this high amount in just one bet, or maybe he is too crazy like i said.

Those guys just throwing away their money. I don't know if they were rich or just a stupid guy who would like to make trending topic with those silly action. You shouldn't follow that strategy and don't even think to make big money through gambling.

Yes, but what if he had 100000 bitcoins? Then 50 is meaningless to him even though it is lots of money, and when you see whale gambling with large amount of money(recently i saw 70 btc or something like that in single bet) it can only mean that they are sitting on bags full of bitcoins.
And to be honest that is nothing compared to Laszlo's 10000 bitcoin worth pizza.

That is so much to lose. I think its time to stop. You played you lost you learnt your lesson. Gambling is not for you so you must accept that and move on before losing even more. Maybe you have an addiction problem and must get help. I feel bad for you but you did it to yourself. Its not the end if the world. Work hard and make the money back. If you dohabe to gamble again please use limits so this doesn't happen again.

But even if someone is siting in that many coins you cannot sustain a gambling habit like that, if what you said is true then it is impossible for this person to keep holding his original stash of bitcoin at some point even bets of that size are going to begin to hit the size of his bankroll.

Even you have thousands of bitcoins and if you betting style would retain on that size then those small amounts will pile up until it would become big and you will be shocked later on that you are losing too much big amount and end up on regretting.If you do have millions of bitcoin then it is still not fine to waste up your money on those kind big bets if we do equate it on the recent price of bitcoin.

People who are addicted cannot realize this that they are losing it and should stop. They think that they can easily make money from gambling and will become millionaire. In this hunt they end up losing a huge amount of money which is sad to hear.

maybe that person was rich and also stupid guy who willing to spend a lot of bitcoin to satisfy his hobby in gambling and i think this guy never thinking the risky for losing his money although it was happened last year when bitcoin price not really high just like this year but 50 btc still very big amount if only to spend for gambling

The addicted gamblers intention is not to become a milliner, they play to win more games, and they want to show others that they are experts in gambling. If they really care for money, then they will not lose money like this am I right.

not a possibility but that person is really rich. because he is willing to spend 50 bitcoin just to gamble. and if I own 50 bitcoin better I make to help people who can not afford it. that if I personally

50 Bitcoins isn't easy to get around these day and  for someone to gamble it takes some uncommon courage which is not common for the ordinary joe like myself and so i wouldn't dare loose that or  risk that even if i had 1000 bitcoins.

Fifty? One would be absolutely mad to play that huge amount in betting, I would literally die lol, maybe for a while, I would never to do it, I don't believe people should use copying methods, what works for one doesn't work for other. One should be very careful as to what and how he decides to play with his coins, I feel one should experiment his own strategies and then stick with what's best for him. And never loose so much.

I guess we can only lose that big amount of money when we starting to loss our control in gambling, when out emotion will dictate us we will be chasing our loses especially if we are too unlucky, the adrenaline rush is not good in gambling, the more we get emotional the more we risk our money and would mostly result to losing an amount we cannot afford anymore.

This guy has been wasting a lot of money, imagine 50 bitcoins in gambling. I would feel crazy and depressed to the moon losing huge of bitcoin. I would rather make my own strategies than copying from others that you don't know if you will gonna win on this.

So true, that's one of the problem with gamblers when the greediness strikes you wouldn't care about how much you will lose. I still can't believe he just wasted that huge amount of bitcoin, we should have self control and discipline in gambling because it tends to be very addicting.

Losing such amount is really depressing and if im in his shoes i think it would be hard to find ways for coping up.

Addiction and greediness are the reasons why that gambler risk the amount that can contribute so much in reality and in just a blink its all gone in his hands.

Whatever his status is to afford 50 btc, still its not good to spend too much in gambling because it can ruin lives.

When someone already lost a relatively huge amount of money, self control will be hard to maintain. Lose control because of the need to chase his previous lost will take over his mind and mostly will lead to another dissaster. It is better not to play with 'fire'. Never play with the money that can ruin our mind if lost it.

It behooves me that why would one continue to bet when they are losing for such a long streak at all, When i am gambling and i lose three times in a row, i just withdraw from the game the same goes when i win three times in a row.

That’s a grand loss and you should indeed accept this fact as soon as possible that gambling is not suitable for you. there are many other ways of making money and you need not try gambling again in order to win recover your loss because that is not possible at all now. Try to go on vacations for getting out of this depression of losing such a big amount of money. Stay calm and positive!

It is a real gamble to wage a bet of fifty bitcoin in a single bet and he was really unlucky to have lost it because it was a real upset and i never expected the opponent to win the game,there are many gamblers who wage a huge amount of money because these high rollers might have earned a huge amount of coins when the mining difficulty was low or is a miner.

Betting with that huge amount is like a suicide mission without thinking of what if. The OP must have lost his self control and maybe it urges him to bet at that amount thinking that he could have win it with just a one shot. But things always go right as what you have been planning, he should have a back up plan when things gets worst. Making a move without thinking will lead you to your defeat, that's why we must always think carefully when doing something that is very crucial specially with our financial needs.

Correct a person having that many coins could just create his own casino an play there for free, or buy any luxury imaginable and have a lot more fun than the fun you are going to get in gambling and at the same time I do not know how could someone get fun while losing that amount of money.

Games was create for fun of some people but because of greediness to win high amount they were bet higher amount and because of losing many of them were want to get back their capital in the games. However instead of taking back the capital they were lost a lot so the tendency to play and play the game until it turns to addiction of the player. If the player make it's hobbies it will turns to gambling.

There is never a good gauge whether 5btc or 50btc or even 0.5btc is the relection point. It is all about mentality. If he is too obsessed by chasing the lost, it is just a matter of time that he will lose it all.

It was a nightmare. I should've stopped gambling when I've lost 0.05 BTC. Is better invested than gambling.

I think it's lose to much, must control the budget before lose to much. I think lose until 0.005 BTC is ok.
If not set budget and control like that, will lose until 100 BTC. For my suggest that amount (50 bitcoins) better do invest.

That is so right. There is not every gambler who is playing for money and then lose and then leave it. No, some are here to please themselves, some are here to make it as a hobby, some are here to just get their status upgraded every time. And this is the one you are talking about. They don’t think of money, not in that sense, but to make them experts before other gamblers.

You really took it personal even more than someone who could have lost that amount of money. I really do not know why anyone would ever gamble with such huge amount of money when they are not a wicklehead.

Gambling is a huge risk like you have said, and it would take an unwise person to do something that huge. Even though the OP stated this in 2016 and even as at then, 50 BTC was not really that small, but for someone who is wise and can see the value this can be in future, it is just a careless decision to make and end up losing all ? I do not want to even think about it.

yeah if we have more than 100 btc then losing 50 btc is not be a problem. but most of people which only have less than 5 btc have big dreams to win much of bitcoin from gambling but some of them is loss more than half from the total amount they have. and yes i am agree to use 50 btc for investment because at least we can see that our bitcoin can works properly and we can have additional income so this will be a good lesson to us to prevent this so we can control our emotion.

I agree seeing someone to bet 50 bitcoin when the price is already on 6K$ I really cant comprehend what kind of reasong was that ?  maybe he was just crazy or making stories , Owning already a 50 worth of bitcoins make you already rich I Just cant understand why you need to be richer ? are you not contented in your life ?

If you lose that much you should really stop gambling maybe when bitcoin was worth a dollar it would not have been so bad but now that is a crazy amount.

Probalby they have hundred of thousand of Bitcoin so they do not mind losing 300 or 1000 bitcoins in one roll.  I can also do that if I have that amount of BTC :).  That may sounds crazy but as i said if I have hundred of thousands of BTC that 1000 BTC is nothing but some dust. 

There are big bettors in sports betting and I believe they are called whales and they bet a big amount of money, maybe losing 50 BTC in just one game is only a regular bet to them so no worries for them but we worry a lot because we are just small time bettors. What the bet sip shows is only the losing bet and we don't know this person so it's still possible that he might have more winning bets than losing bets with similar amounts.

And they probably bought bitcoin at a cheaper price and at that time bitcoin is not that expensive so its okay to lose that amount of money they weren't inform that bitcoin price can come this far and all they can think about is to gamble.

for that amount of money from where am i its a healthy and financially established already and just losing it from gambling i guess it will be a failed in my whole life if things happen to me, maybe OP really have a lots of money and just using spare from what he got.

Wow 50 bitcoin is huge amount of money and i do not think what i feel if i lose such amount, my biggest amount of bitcoin i lose in gambling is 0.06 and i feel so down and saying to myself that i do not do gambling again but i cant stop it and luckily i already recover my lost capital in dice game and now continuous earning using my strategy in gambling.

That is a huge amount, a monstrous one. 50 bitcoins today is at $288,600. At our country you can buy anything you want given there is the house and car. You can invest in a lot of things to make that huge amount of money grow more. Why do we need to lose that in the game if you can just learn some trading or know something to invest is sites, projects or ICOs.

50 btc is huge man it's a big sum for those having even 100 because when you lose 50 out of 100 you are left with half, half will always be something more than affected in any case. If someone has one thousand bitcoin and he loses 50 of it this may not be a great deal for that person but for people losing half of their holdings, it will be a major issue for them.

It is already common for someone like gambler to feel angry and super stress why the lose big amount on gambling. Actually they feel so regret why they not even control their own self in that situation.

yes as i said , as long as you can afford to lose that 50 bitcoin , why it become a problem for them? it is indeed if hits you gonna be a big trouble as you can not afford that much , however i really remember the time that bet placed.

GWS were unstoppable and i personally keep making ML bet for them until i realise i am in negative in the end.

As much as I really would want to believe that, I don’t! Who do they want to show they are experts, the people they are playing poker with ? Well, may be that may be interesting, sure! But how about dice, plinko, roulette, slot ? Do they still want to show someone how good they are ?

Most addicted gamblers today are in for the win! Most felt it is an easy way luck can play on them to win a whole lot of money and be made for life which is the mentality that gets so many of them always addicted the more in the long run.

We will never know if that person is right or not, maybe he was not and this was a life changing decision for him, I personally prefer that he was rich so he does not suffer from losing that huge amount of bitcoin, if I lost that amount of bitcoin I do not know what I will do.

You can also call me stupid as I have lost close to that amount by trying out different things related to bitcoin. Sometime, it is ok to lose but it is more about how do you move on. I lost 60btc, but overall i am still profit in values and i manage to find some money generating btc revenue so i am happy now.

I agree, it is how we moved on  on those loses.  Others just cannot let go and keep on chasing loses which in returnmake them lose more.  I admire you despite of losing a total of 60 you are able to move one and at the end, be able to end up on a positive side, others just can't do such thing, instead they are drowned on the idea of getting the amount they lost.

If you have the opportunity to play with such amounts, then probably your earnings are even greater. I think that you are really a happy person, if you are really doing this with funding.

Fifty bitcoin is very huge amount and some people cannot even dream about such a big amount. Fifty bitcoin add up to make millions in dollars and losing such tremendous amount in gambling is going to make that person die with depression and regret. Lol! The amount you lost is not that big and the good thing is that you learned from your mistakes and devised strategy that is successfully working for you.

Man, that was a terrible lost. My gambling experience was good at the first but still end up bad. I used my 600k sats in bitkong and I've won BTC.01  but my greed was too strong and when I lost all I played another 200k sats but after I lost it again I stopped and I quit and I told myself this is enough.

Well I had the same fate. I gambled with 0.1 and waged it at 97% chance to win on dice, which gave about 1% profit per roll. I profited and doubled my initial money, but problem is, two straight losses on that chance occurred. I ended up with nothing and deposited anew, and just got the same fate. I ended with a balance of -0.2 on the site, which is pretty devastating to me, since I should have not gambled that money. It was for my savings.

Loosing coins through gambling is a very tragic thing in my consideration since you aren't just loosing your funds but you are also loosing the potential growth of those coins when converted to fiat , for example if i lose 1 coin that's estimated to 4k dollars and after a year or so it's value turns to 6k+ dollars , that's additional money lost . So i advice everybody to not gamble with bitcoins , even tho casinos accepting bitcoins are by far more flexible and anonymous , but to transfer their funds to fiat and gamble with it , with of course small amounts of bitcoin because due to it's fluctuation you never know how much it's value can reach .

That's a big money on today's current price, I regret that if I'm on the situation of niagwai and it will be better for me if I'm not going to share my losses. That will make me feel bad all the time and I can't recover immediately with as the price of bitcoin is still pumping.

Yes its a big regrettion who owned that 50 bitcoins because if you exchange that it will makes you millionaire now. Its hard to recover if you lose that big amount of bitcoin because it is still in your mind and it is hard for you to forget that big amount of bitcoin. So i think just give up gambling.

Millionaire in terms of local currency but converting it to USD that will be estimated to $290,000 and you can have a lot of things with that amount. I want to know on how many bitcoins he got now and if he wondered that bitcoin price will be reaching this moment.

I think it is not a thing to talk about is in. Because the main thing should be at blame is yourself, for if we never touch gambling was certainly not going to get a major defeat. 50 BTC is not the numbers a little bit, because if we can't properly maintain all things sure losses can be obtained (such as gambling). Gambling does require a far greater power than other things and also self control is the primary key.

Now it's a high BTC price and a gambler is not a paranormal who can read the exact price of BTC in the future,all the gamblers want a quick and happy way in making a profit.And the post date is may 2016 which at that time BTC is not as high as now dude.

There is no doubt in this fact that at present where it is hard to earn one bitcoin, losing 50 is a big trauma and torture as well. You are never ever going to come out of regret for playing with such a big amount and I believe this person must be a gambling addict, otherwise no sensible man is going to bet 50 bitcoin ever because he knows the worth of bitcoin and is well aware of the consequences of losing such a big amount.

He can be a high roller and in may it was much smaller amount of money.
Of course he can be gambling addict person but I still think about him like about high roller.

It would be interesting to know more details.

Also, taking in consideration that bet was made in btc - he could be insider or person related to that event ;)

50 bitcoin is worth more than $290,000 it is very huge amount
I will cry everyday if i lose that amount in gambling and maybe will never come back to gambling :D
50 bitcoin lose at basketball betting maybe too believe that team will win

For this, it is often advised to put your coin in only that thing, about which you are enough confident. There are so many people who are putting bitcoin in gambling, for any odd reason behind their act, I must say they are the most foolish peeps on this planet earth. They must have known the importance of bitcoin, so for now, sad feeling from them from my side.

50 BTC is a big amount already. If i were in his shoes, i will feel lost losing that huge amount. I will regret, and blame myself for being greedy to win without thinking that i am losing already instead of winning. So, guys you should've known how to control yourselves, your money and your eagerness to win. This is a lesson to be learned not just by him but to everyone of us.

Wow! That must have been crazy losing your savings totally into gambling. That is one thing about gambling anyway, it keeps driving you the more to keep pushing your luck until you lose everything and the mistake you made at that point was not telling yourself to stop or probably just making use of what you can afford to lose.

I have known gambling to be this, and I have never pushed my luck too far knowing even luck can get tired. Which is the reason I have always gambled very little I know won't hurt me and it my luck wants to shine for that period, then I will appreciate, if not, I move on, but my savings? No way!

It is not possible for me to gamble of 50 bitcoins, because if I have 50 bitcoins then I do no need to gamble because 50 bitcoin in my community means the richest person in the community. 50 bitcoin is about 35000000 in my local currency and it is as big as ordinary person cannot even think of such huge money. If I have such money then I do not need to do any other work for making money.

Losing 50 bitcoin means losing all my property and everything. If I lost 50 bitcoin I will be mental patient because 50 bitcoin means the richest person in the community and if a richest person come to the road due to no money then you should think of his condition. I will gamble such huge money. it is beyond my limitations and if gamble I will look my pocket for gambling and will never accede that amount.

We all know about that and if we are feeling sorry for ourselves what do you think about the feeling of this person that lost it a year ago? This is why we must be careful if we are going to gamble and only gamble with the amount we avail to lose. I'm not going to follow the step of this guy  ;D I wouldn't be risking a lot of bitcoin for gambling anymore, it's better to stay at trading.

If I was a mega high roller with millions in the bank, then I probably wouldn't care.

Whether you're a millionaire or not still 50 BTC is a lot for everyone when they lose it unless you become a millionaire without much hard work means by luck like winning money from gambling. If not. when people lose around 300K money they will surely worry it.

Yes 50 btc is a lot and huge money for everyone although he/she is a millionaire. My be i cant sleep every night if thats me, and regret forever in my life why i should spend it just for gambling.

Definitely this is a huge money that this person just have lost in casino. There are hundreds and thousands of the peeps who are just wanting to make bitcoins as much as they can. And they end up getting only some portion of bitcoin. And see here, this person just have lost 50 bitcoins. I must say this person have to live again and he should be awake from this much dangerous sleep.

Such a big amount to lose those days, not to talk about losing it these days.
I can't afford to lose such a massive  cash amount because I don't have them. To lose so much on gambling I would have to be very rich.
I know to get very pissed when I Iose some small, symbolic bet. My reaction is highly connected with my mood in that situation but one thing is sure; I would have to be a millionaire so I could gamble on that level. In that case it would probably mean that I have legal successful business and lost of 20K shouldn't present big, catastrophic situation.
It is highly important to express any feeling, especially when it is negative strong feeling. Never suppress them because it could effect on your health. Yell, scream, do  anything that helps and doesn't hurt no body else around  :)

I would fwel really bad, I always feel bad when I lose I aswar and I feel an enormous amger

If you can lose that much money by gambling, I think you're a very rich man. If you lose that much money and still relax, it means you do not have to worry about anything because you still have a lot of money. It's just that if you lose and want to return the money, you should work to get the money back. Do not expect gambling to return the money. Let's be a realistic person, gambling depends on luck. You want to hang that big money for gambling? Seriously.

It would be better if you saved that much money in your Bitcoin wallet. Only then will you be able to profit a lot, for the next few years instead of having to hand it to gambling.

I don’t have such bitcoin in my wallet, how can I bet such a huge amount and the amount which I do not have? If I had 50 bitcoins in my wallet I will never gamble because most of the people gamble to win lots of money in less time and without any efforts and when you have huge money then I think there is no need to gamble and take the risk to lose your money. I will never suggest to anybody who has 50 bitcoins and he gamble especially in my country.

obviously 50btc is super huge

It's way back a year ago and we can't move on for his lose and even though it has passed already. We even don't if he only have 50 bitcoins or he got more but I think he got more bitcoins.

Not really that time.  23k worth isn't much compare to ones I saw on other forums.   One guy puts $5k-$25k per game in NBA.   He had over $80k worth of profit at end.   There are times he was $20k below his start.

That's crazy, he is a risking freak...i don't have the heart and temperament to be risking such huge sums on gambling...lol. Anywhere above 1 BTC in recent times is super huge  by my standards and wouldn't dare risk them.

Same will happen with me if I ever lose such massive amount in gambling. I don’t understand why this person made such a big bet when everyone knows that gambling is very tragic game and unpredictable as well. You never know what is waiting for you in the very next movement.

If this person is still alive and making a post here about his loss, it means he has enough money still with me and not much worried about his loss.

Reality you don't really know his life or what he does.   Also that time it was priced at $23k.   It's like me as a kid I would see someone putting $20 a game.  I say "I wouldn't put that much money".   Now I see people putting $25-$500 on game and the rich would be putting $5k-$25k or higher a game.  

If you go by unit system and have self control.   You may put $500 a game if your very successful or $50 a game if your doing bad but in the end you would lose money you started with or not lose it all.

It's rare for successful sports gamblers to post.   Odds makers would change there lines more aggressively if a group starts winning too much.   Those guys would lose their jobs if they do poorly.  lol  

It is really tragic my friend ! At first when I started gambling I had that huge mistake of trying to recover losses, or trying to keep pushing further and then one day I realized just this same thing you just mentioned that if I had actually put the amount in my wallet and leave it, I would have gotten much more than gambling possibly could have given me and I just had to retrace my step pr just gamble with little if I want to have some fun or some blood rush knowing the chances of losing it anyway is still high.

Yeah and with that huge amount for sure I can live my life extravagantly and will nothing to worry about my future.
and I can help many charitable institutions. For a rich person, when he lose that money it's like nothing to him, like okay that's just a money then call it a day. But for people who really mean every penny in his pocket will definitely go crazy if he lose that. I mean money can't just be pick everywhere that's why I gamble just a little for fun and not with my life.

50 bitcoins is really a huge amount but on my case i wont able to live on extravagant life and would still need to work for my future without relying too much on bitcoin holdings. Gamblers do have different bankroll and if someone do able to lose those precious 50 bitcoins then its his loss not ours but come to think off on the amount then i cant really afford to lose it on just on gambling games alone.

50 bitcoins means 300k dollars or a near amount and losing it means an alive death. Now how many people are really into this thing that they want to lose such a huge amount ?

It is the saddest story that I have heard in my whole life. It need guts to take big risks but only a crazy or overconfident person will make such a mistake. I f I ever had this much amount, I would have established my own business empire with few bitcoin and saved others for future.

No it is not possible for me to bet 50 bitcoins I don’t have 50 bitcoins. 50 bitcoins in my country means 26000000 of my local currency. Do you ever guess that I can bet such a huge amount of money? Never. If I had 50 bitcoin I will be the richest man of y locality but it is not possible for the persons like me.

I can never think of gambling 50 bitcoins if I have ever earned. Hard earn money cannot be lost so easily in gambling. Don’t even think of it.

I doubt that this actually happened as you have to be insanely addicted to risk that amount. My wife would kill me if this happened to me. Even betting a full bitcoin makes me anxious so what more if it would be 50. Its such a waste of money

I will blame myself and cant move on I dont know for how long. Maybe till I have dementia. But if I win that much I will donate one third as a scholarship tho whom in need. Damn man one of baddest day of your life. Good luck next.

You don't say that unless you do have the winning. But losing that 50 bitcoins is something that is unforgivable when you are not aware that's a lot of money in the future. And on that day when op has lost with those bitcoins it has a big value already but we feel the pain on that lost. I'm even going to have the best life that I never been for having that big amount of bitcoin.

that nuts losing 50btc in a single bet

Absolutely not and the reason is that you know what the value of 50 bitcoins in my country is? About 27000000 of my local currency. Do you ever guess that I can bet such a huge amount of money? Never. If I had 50 bitcoin I will be the richest man of y locality but it is not possible for the persons like me.

I can never think of gambling 50 bitcoins if I have every earn. I will never lose my money in such a way which is not good.

Why won't you sleep? ;D You will just accept your fate and move on! After all, no one would have forced you to gamble that much or made the decision for you except yourself, so you just have to live with it. Although OP was a long time ago, but sometimes the kinda huge amount some people place on bet now, I wonder if they realize in the next few years that what they had lost could have amounted to a whole lot if saved.

Ho my God loss of 50 btc with single bet it's too bad to her, the bet was made in 2016 but now it's more than 1m usd I think it's big loss for you.

You cannot help the addicted person to stop gambling. And above worse they even do not know when to stop or limit them self so that they do not go all in. I hope people will learn from this mistakes so that they do not gamble this big and realize later that they lost a huge money in the gambling.

We cannot really conclude that the guy who placed that 50btc wager was an addicted gambler. Maybe he is a rich guy and 50 BTC is nothing to him, say that he's a multi billionaire. 50 BTC wasn't as big as the time it was placed, and that's nothing to a billionaire. Or he's someone that was an early adopter, who mined hundreds of thousands of bitcoins because it was so easy back then.

Thats awful when you save it into the future and satrt build aomw business that could hep you to earn more 50 bitcoin is too much even hes a billionaire when he gave that into his family then its very big help for them just saying the biggest bitcoin i lose is only 1 bitcoin

Lol you are not helping.  I know it is nuts to lose 50 BTC but at least don't be rude  ;D. 


i agree maybe the guy have around thosands of BTC so 50 BTC is just a penny to him. 

Anyway if it happened today, probably it is a different story.  And if it was me and it happened today, lol i can't tell how much regretfull I will be.

If I'm not wrong this person might have bought these bitcoins may be much lower price so they took such high risk in gambling. If one buy bitcoin at the current market price then mostly they will not go for such a high bets. But still, it is a big loss to the gambler and gambling house will be very happy to make such a huge profit in s short time.

That's the reason behind or he really have a large bankroll that he can afford to lose for this such activities, gambling is a game of chances so what if he won that event and win right? So just the same maybe after he lose it he already move on not knowing that btc can rise up to this level.

Anger is what comes up when you take gambling as either a profession or a way of earning. It should just be a way of trying your luck honestly. I have felt those huge angers before when I was gambling with the hope that I can win big and then I browsed through the net looking for strategies, applying them and still nothing until I realized that come on!

I could have used those times to do something much more productive, earn a lot and if I wish I can put little into gambling to try my luck and see it as fun if I lose but not as a way to earn.

50 btc lose in gambling. This is big amount. Sadly
I think that playing in gambling need to control your self and set a limit of amount, when your lose or profit, you know when it is the best time to stop it.

50 bitcoins i mean how man how can someone be so addicted to gambling why don't you all use your common sense that instead of wasting just imagine how helpful those funds can be to you i really feel sad for i have also lost but 50 bitcoins is just too much

If i lost 1 bitcoin in gambling only, my wife could kill me because of it . So if i lost 50 bitcoin, i guess i will kill myself at that moment. It's really a big thing that i can't take it.

i cant imagine how will i loss 50 bitcoin in gambling. maybe i should just invest it.

If I lose 50 bitcoin I'm not just get angry about it, I also get crazy. I would have bought some home appliances. It's not just, that I've probably built a business for 50 bitcoin. So I have never tried gambling It's a scary gamble you do not know if you win or lose, especially when you do not know the gestures or strategies of a gamble.But I know someone whose playing in gambling he says when you win  big you should stop, when you do not stop there is a possibility that you will be loose. Maybe you won at once, but because you're happy because you won you bet another one. Often happens to others so they lose so you should be smart when it comes to gambling

That may have been for a long period of time and many people are actually losing that big amount. For me though, who's not really a fan of gambling excessively, even one full btc would be a waste if you gamble with it. Imagine the things you could've done with 50btc that wpuld've made it a lot more productive. That amount can make you rich guy already if you know how to work with it

Yeah, i guess this is only an example, cause i don't think anyone can take damage from this lost. It's too big , maybe it will be a big shock and it could kill somebody.

Well this were related to 2016 when bitcoin were around 300-500 dollars if im not wrong, soo op lost around 15000 dollars into those period, even if he were an early adopter and bought this coins for a tiny value, i doubt he doesnt regret had risked those coins into gamble, knowing bitcoin reached 7000 dollars wich we are talking around half milion dollars into one single bet. I dont like to gamble at all, i do try sometimes into places where i can get free bitcoins to bet, if lucky i will reach cashout otherwise i lost nothing at all.

Maybe a man losing in this a kind of amount of bitcoin,It's seems easy for him to make bitcoin, what I mean he can contribute more bitcoin maybe he is the owner of bitcoin. That's why he don't worry about even he lost a 50 btc or more. For me, before I bet the amount, I already prepare to lost it, gambling has a huge risk, thats why only gamble the amount you can afford to lose if i lose that amount of bitcoin i will be very upset even though i already prepare to lose it

I would really feel devastated, I don't think that I would be able to sleep if ever I would lose that amount of money. Gambling is made for entertainment. We all know that gambling is addicting and that we should still know when to stop when gambling. Gambling addiction is not good because we might end up losing a lot of money if we can't control our addiction and greed.

The main course is why are you suddenly do that thing if your getting through enough some of losing bitcoins. Ofcourse the biggest losses you've taken before is to get more angry and a life problem to put you down. Best thing to do is do plan an have more strategy to do play on gambling before you get angry to get some of losses.

that is why i never do gambling yes theres a benefits if you win but if you lose this much well i rather buy some stuff that am gonna use for 1month .

He is talking about fifty bitcoin and you think you can buy stuffs for just one month,with the current price it is a huge amount of money,people used to gamble a lot in the past but with the current price i do not think that anyone would do these sort of big bets now unless you have a ton of coins you collected when the price was low or when the difficulty level was low.

Gambling will just only give you the same lesson that everyone gets in the end and that is gambling is meant to empty your pocket and not to make you rich. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Well 100 bitcoins, thats 2x50Bitcoins will be  a million dollars should bitcoin reach 10,000$ and that's within reach and so we are hypothetically talking about loosing half a million dollar here and you can't be too cool for that. Such a loss can get you crazy and i really share your pain.

Sometimes when I hate myself. Sitting here empty handed in front of  my computer and stuck another 2 weeks without doing anything. I want to destroy this machine right now I want to fight someone or cause a hell out no where. Losing that kind of money ($360000 +) will wrecked and haunt you for life. One of the worst thing was when I see people lose everything and they don't make a sound. They just disappear in darkness and keep pain inside.

Well its happened  and they can't  do much,  but i will wish people will be more careful with their bitcoins going forward because the time lit is so valuable to the extent that loosing out just a fraction of a bitcoin can be very painful.

I cannot even dream about losing such a big amount just for the sake of gambling. I think that one must set up some limits before he starts to gamble with his Bitcoins that is top most leading digital currency in today's world. It's quite sad thing to listen that you have lost your 50 BTC and got nothing in return despite of anxiety and depression.

Next thing that you must do is look for some coping strategies to overcome the loss and to calm yourself because Failure is also a part of life and it could not be denied in any way.

You are going with right thing in your head. Gambling don’t make you rich neither betting, then why you are turning your profits into losses. Join some sensible source of income and leave this harmful gambling. I often wonder why people don’t see the right thing even it is so obvious. Still there are hundreds and thousands of people who are getting foolish in this gambling.

Some people have earned a lot of bitcoin in the past and simply don't care about the fiat value of the bitcoin and are just playing around with the bitcoins.

Doesn't make the amount insane by todays standards ofcourse..

you should never die because of losing a big amount in gambling if you follow the basic rules of gambling you don't have to worry about any issues you should always gamble what you can afford to lose and always stop or set a goal while gamblinh

With the current bitcoin value, lossing 50 bitcoin will be one of the biggest regrets in your life. You could have been a millionaire already if you hadn’t lost this much for gambling. This will be considered a big mistake and lesson for not limiting yourself in gambling whether or not it is thru online and bitcoin.

Is it possible to view other bets from that account?
Would be interesting to check other possible bets of the same account

losing 50 btc is a very rare situation and i cant even think of me losing same amount.you maybe a rich person carrying 50btc.i will hate my self forever if im on your place.so i think this is enough for you to realize and value the btc that you might be having in the future mate.goodluck

I definitely feel frustrated losing 50 btc in that way makes me feel disappointed because imagine how I earn that 50 btc just about to lose it in a gambling method because you know the feeling when you lose something important and don't  get something in returned that's  frustrating. Well to cope up with it is just work harr again and try and forgot everything  what happened.

Who wouldn't? I don't think even a rich person would be glad that he lost that much bitcoins. Well, if you are a multimillionaire that was nothing to him so we can't really argue with them. That's like spare change to them. But for the likes of many of us, that is a huge number of bitcoins that we can't even say that we can even earn that much in our lifetime. But that's the inequalities of the world we live in.

Rich people do gamble also a big amount of money because that would give them a thrill, we have different betting standard but we have
one mission which is to win. For me, at my status now, losing 50 bitcoins will surely ruin my life.

Thank god! There are some people at least who know the real motto of gambling which is to leave you totally destroyed in all possible ways whether it is mental destruction or bankruptcy. We should stay away from this game if the money we are using is hard earned and our sole aim is to increase our amount in short time. I also feel so bad about losing such a big amount in a stupid game.

Yes, They are just losing their precious assets for the sake of fun through various methods the most common of it is involvement of the Btcs for the sake of gambling. As gambling is totally dependent upon the luck of a person so it is obvious that the chances of a loss are much.

A friend of mine has recently lost 30k in an online casino just by losing the poker due to 10 unhealthy streaks. So if the streak is not quite lucky, you would obviously be at loss.

I agree, when it comes to gambling don't expect of winning that things in fact it just depend if how lucky you are, on which many people had experience a miserable because of this gambling. Gambling is really make you entertained and fun but if you abuse it or let say you started addicted of it. It will make you lose of everything not just money but also your emotion, you will be out of control.

Aww.what a huge amount,never see that so big amount that had beed throw out in gambling.how did you afford to lose that lots of bitcoins.i hope it will serve as a lesson for you to stop gambling.and never try winning back again.just remember in gambling winning is put numbered by losing

Lol probably a whale that got cocky. If someone is able to bet and lose that much amount, they probably have more btcs in their wallets. Because if you only have that 50btc, i don't think anyone in their right mind would gamble everything in one go whether he's addicted or not

I don't understand why people go gambling with bitcoin! if someone invests 50 BTC today that person will be a millionaire by 2019!

Loosing such amounts of money is clearly a very irresponsible deed from an unconscious person who didn't even know the value of the coins he lost . He 1st lost such a huge amount of bitcoins and thus loosing all the potential value it could had made him (357 500 $ at the current price of bitcoin ) . People should know when and how to gamble , and especially set up limits for their defenses on such destructive habits ! Such losses could put him , his family , his reputation and everything he cares of at risk ! We already have seen lots of people who lost everything in a foolish night of gambling and now are eating from trash cans after they were having a pleasant life . Everyone should set up a limit to avoid addiction and bankrupting .

That's the thing about gambling it makes different people crazy in a way that they make rash decisions without seriously considering the future in front of them. Maybe that person wants to make more of it probably got it also from gambling so I think it's just a lose with high amount. Just by having 1 BTC is already enough in my opinion and how about holding more of it that's just smart investment.

May be he is already a millionaire  with more than 10k of btc and loosing 50 btc in just one bet. He can make much more than that amount if he invest in some project.

or that is the only 50 bitcoin they have as they go allin in it but totally failed who knows?.

but yes that is true it could be the one who do it has a lot of bitcoin to spend. but considering the price of bitcoin at the time bet placed far from what the current price has , they will extremely regret about what they have done.

Loss 50 bitcoin, Wow it is a very large amount. I did not imagine if I lost that much. If I keep that kind of money I must be rich. I hope I do not lose that much money. I think it's because of poor self-control. That is why we should be able to control ourselves well.

Converting it to the price right now is expensively high. No one here can imagine on what we will feel if we are the who lost this amount. I've seen gamblers even before who lost 300+BTC and I just can't remember on what gambling site is that lost.

Yep, 50 BTC is a huge amount. i'd be pretty devastated if i lost even 1 bitcoin, i can't even think of losing 50 BTC (i would never own that much ever lol). there are users who have lost thousands of bitcoin, afaik the highest lost amount is ~7000 BTC on just-dice.

Losing that huge amount of bitcoins maybe the owner of that account is a rich man because he used that large amount of bitcoins to gamble with knowing that he may lose in just a single bet or maybe he was just too confident with his bet? Just losing 0.5 btc will make me crazy   ;D but the only thing that will lessen my stress when losing is that I gamble again to recover my loses even if it's just a little.

We don't know if that 50 bitcoin is just partial of his total investments and total holdings of bitcoin. And if you'll trace back this thread it's way back May 2016 ago so I think the price by that time is only $800 so if you'll convert those 50 bitcoins before it was about $40,000 still a big money compare to the price now *$7,200 = $360,000 a $320,000 difference and it can still go up for the upcoming months.

It is impossible that after you lose about 50 btc you will never be angry and you are relaxing rather you are so much stress and problematic eith so much regrets in you.  Its hard to lose even 1 how much more 50?

That's a lot of money and if my case I need to take a loan with my house as collateral in order to gamble that much.
I hope it will not come that situation in my life because it will surely ruin my life, 50 BTC is a lot of money, I can hold that for a long period of time and I can enjoy my retirement since that would be worth a lot of money as bitcoin continue to rise its value.

only someone who learned how to lose is ready for the big win :)

I bet he's an avid fan that's why he willing bet that straight, i wonder if he already moved on by now, its a huge amount now today if he bet it last may 2016, and I might still thinking of it whenever btc arise in value.

That is a very terrible experience. I've lost BTC.05  and for me, that is already too much and I can't bear it. Getting angry will just destroy so it's better to find something that will steal your attention and time so you could forget all of it.

You have just lost 0.05 btc, then you felt sad, then sure we couldn't imagine how anyone feel when he has lost of 50 btc. I can't discuss about his feeling, it is a too much lose of money. I have lost in gambling most of the time, and i also do change my mind and say ourself that most of the gamblers are here who have biggest lost in gambling history, and i am trying to satisfied myself to think about it. But if i am one of them who losing 50 bitcoins then i will be die by heart attack.    

this is how bitcoin works as something that has value and volatile all the time , 50 bitcoin at that time may 2016 are worth $25,000 bitcoin ($500 each). he looking to double that 50 bitcoin to 100 bitcoin with value $25k to $50k if he a little bit patient to wait a year until today , he didn't have to gamble it all just waiting and get the money more than doubled but more than 12 times! $500 each to $6,000 each by today. what a repentance!

You'll never know.

If I am about to lose that 50btc in gambling, I will remember that very last bet my whole life. That's too big, losing such big money would stress me and probably I would stay in my room for a week.

Losing small amount makes me feel sick, what more with 50btc. This is a little OT, what if you win out of that 50btc?

Oh my, that would be a terrible loss, yes I do like gambling but I always play with a stop loss never more never less. I think when one looses so much they should stop and think is their betting really justified, or that they should stop, I would feel terrible and probably suicidal, how can one even survive with the fact that ye just lost such a huge amount and then next moment I would be like no worried I shall play another bet and try and win the entire amount again, it's quite possible for me to do that.

Anyone that has that amount will be devastated and don't know what to do with his life knowing that he lost too much bitcoin before. You know what, even with only 1 bitcoin I'm going to hardly accepted that I lost too much money on dice and I can even think of more beautiful things to spent with that amount.

That is not the case for everyone, to be honest. But it would be the case for like most of us. 50 BTC is not big if you imagine someone with thousands of bitcoins. Even, maybe, that guy who lost 50 btc has already won it back or even more. Or maybe he lost more and lost thousands due to gambling. It's pretty hard to speculate because we are just basing it all from one bet slip and we don't really know anything else.

It is a case for most of us and we are feeling regret for him. It's not a big deal yes mostly for gamblers that has thousands of bitcoin but for me that is just a "shrimp" in the ecosystem this is a lot for me and I'm being serious here.  8)

Probably having that much money converted to bitcoins would result to surprise in your loss but when you think about it if you have that much to lose then you have a lot more money compared to just portion. That is only true if you limit yourself from the money that you are going to use in gambling.

Yes you are right. Gambling is an easy of earning but only for those that are lucky enough to win the bets on continuous basis.

But all of the good time passes away so soon and you are only left with the regrets and anxiety at the end when only a single bet cause you to lose everything that you have earned so long a time. So it is better to stay away from it and try the longer paths to success than opting for the shortcut methods.

There's no surprise but it's a complete shock for having this bitcoin lost from the past and by checking the current price of bitcoin. No one will be grateful to lost this amount when you are not aware about the price will increase up soon.

Yup! It is just a fun thing in the beginning. When we enter this field as a newbie, we do not actually know that it is not going to be proved as the easiest method of earning but a way to lose all you have had. Losing such a big amount such as 50 Btcs just in this stupid trash is just like ending your life just before you have started it.

One must not get himself involved in this at all even after witnessing anyone of the close relatives who had been able to win a jackpot or so because this all is temporary.

that's the end point there mate, its just a temporary way of earning money because in the long run you will lose and you won't always got a chance to defeat the house, as this gambling business design to always win against their opponents so better to make sure that you will handle this activity with always got good precautions.

That must be one rich person. 50BTC  is a lot of money. Shut I would be pissed just by losing 0.5BTC. I wonder how many btc does that person have. I think its just crazy to risk that huge amount of money. The most I have lost is 0.007 by today's BTC price. I don't risk too much and unfortunately even the rewards are low.

thats the bad attitude gambling addict has,betting that huge amount just to test their luck without thinking that they losing more than they can afford.why not go investing or trading.why look for easy money.why not try to play gambling for fun and enjoyment rather than losing a lot

bad to hear it, 50 btc is losing in gambling. its a lot of money man.
the next time it is better to control your money to play in gambling, if you are an addict you need to control yourself.

having 50 bitcoin in 2016 not really can be considered as rich due that time only worth around 20,000 to 30,000 USD only . where today you can become a rich bitcoin holder with the market volatility makes your 50 bitcoin turned almost 500,000 USD! don't need to place a bet , just hold your bitcoin and it would become more than just get doubled. people would die frustating just to remember that losing , really annoying.

Sometimes i think i'm lucky because i don't have that much Bitcoin to lose on gambling. It must be a shock experience that not much people can take.

i would never do that losing 50 btc it is so hard to earn 1 btc an i'll just let 50 btc lose just like that i think i will be the most stupud person on earth if i will do that and i can't afford even a single btc just because of gambling.

50 btc x $15000 = $750000
Wow a very large amount. If you not lost, maybe you have become rich right now. ;D

This was way back 2016 and I am sure the value was pretty cheap at that time, 50btc could be a lot of money now if this gambler valued his bitcoin but we do not really control them and they have the freedom with their money. For me, losing that amount doesn't really matter as long as you can afford what you lose, for me I only lose more than 1 btc in my life as a gambler and I have accepted it already.

I think that when I lost so much money, it's a bad day for me because now the price of bitcoin is high and you can now get 50bitcoin up to now as much as 15million plus so much money now I think that's a big deal in life when it's the loser all your life. And it's so hard now that you get it now because the bitcoin price is so high and the hassle of earning bitcoin today.

Definitely its insane losing so much money that can be use after retirement and enough to live comfortably.

I cant imagine what would be my reaction after losing 50 bitcoins in gambling, its shocking and i might also lose my mind for what i did. Nevertheless its already happened so the best thing to do is forget everything and start over again.

I think OP should find a way to get over this because loosing out that much definitely hurts but that's not the end of the world. I don't think he will be worried if we were in 2014 or even 2015 when that 50 bitcoin wasn't worth that much.

I would really feel bad especially today because bitcoin price is not a joke anymore, 1 bitcoin costs almost $16,000 and 50 bitcoins is not easy to earn even if you stay awake for a whole year. That's why gambling is not a good habit, you could lose everything that you have if you get addicted to it.

If Op does have thousands of bitcoins then its still fine for him and 50 btc would be nothing but for us ordinary citizens or small earners then this amount would really be not a joke anymore.Even myself wont even imagine if i lose up that amount and even if you do work for 5 years here in my country you wont able to earn that amount no matter how hard you do try.

That's why gambling addiction is not good especially with bitcoin because you can lose a lot of money because whenever you gamble with bitcoin you are not aware how much money have you lost. It's really difficult to quit gambling once you get addicted to it. The best way to prevent losing money in gambling is to control your self when you gamble.

The bet was made in May 17, 2016. At that time the price of bitcoin was around 450 USD if I am not wrong. 50 bitcoin is a large amount of money even though at a price of $ 450. Not every gamblers can afford to lose it or even have it. I will have a long regret if I lost such amounts.

Will that 50bitcoins is a large amount of loosing digital money,ive never experienced that kind of loosing because im only a beginner in terms of gambling,i can never afford that such kind of capital loosing.maybe those people loose that such kind of huge money is a bitcoin millionare and those kind of amount loosing they never mind,what happen to there bitcoin.if that situation happen to me i think i loss my mind.

Even myself would do the same, but the question is where will I get that big amount to bet, even all my life savings is not enough to equal that 50 btc amount he bet, he must be very rich to put that big amount, if he can afford to lose then I think he deserve to enjoy gambling although he lose his bet.

A heavy gambler with a very big bankroll, not sure how this thing happen without any control maybe he's really a rich person who can afford losing that much but for an average person ike us 50btc even back then is already a huge amount, maybe after btc rise to this height losing again this much would be unusual.

Even as at when BItcoin price was less than $1K USD, I can’t understand how or why I would even contemplate a losing streak of 1BTc, let alone of 50.  That is a massive amount of Btc/money to lose.  I consider myself a novice gambler therefore I don’t/can’t gamble with such huge amounts beceuase I would probabaly go crazy if I lost that amount of bitcoin.  Probabaly, if you’re a whale, it wouldn’t matter so much, but it sa huge amount to lose.

My biggest loss at one time was 20€. It's not that much so I wasn't that pissed. But of course, nobody likes to lose. :)

If you set limits for yourself and you are a sports gambler you are likely to be loosing something ;like this every now and then so it wouldn't be a big deal but for you to loose 50 bitcoins in recent times is a big loss by any means  and you can't take it lightly even if you were a billionaire.

This is just what I wanted to say, because the amount is extremely high especially with the standards of gambling which Could makes you losing all your money in a single bet. There so much of recklessness in this idea, I understand very well the desire of earning the most amount of money in gambling, but this I can never be understood. To conclude, I want to mention that this experience proves that the worst thing in gambling is the greed.

I think losing 50 BTC in gambling is really insane which could lead us to broke. Stop gambling if you're still okay in finances. Just find a job or income from investing or trading.

I think either you are having some large bitcoin cold storage reserves which really make you fearless and you gamble so much bitcoins or you are a lunatic just throwing away the most precious asset one could have. If I would have 50 bitcoin I would just shut up and live peacefully even if you want to do something better try trading it over an exchange. Atleast you have a very good chance of earning profits.

50 Bitcoins is the very big amount the person can lose. I personally don't play for the profit and I am entering the gambling rooms with the limited amount of money which, when lost, is pulling me back to the reality. I had looses before In my life but they were never big and that was in the time when I've first entered the gambling rooms. In some other dimension where I would lose this amount of money, I would probably be very angry at myself cause with that kind of BTC people can do wonders. I've learned something from other people mistakes and that is valuable. Th thing is that I won't put more money to win back my losses. A loss is a loss and win can come another day. I have fun and enjoy my spins and that way I am restraining myself from even having a thought about possible extra bets that could lead me to the demise and doom.

I would not even know what to do if i lose that huge amount of money, honestly, i would even consider about commit suicide, i am seriously.


But the OP Lost that money more than months ago, when the price was less than 10 times lower than what it is right now.

But yes, it is a huge amount of money and maybe it would be much more depressed to know that you los something that now has increased by more than ten times from what it was before.

50 bitcoins is not a joke. I haven't reach 1 bitcoin yet. Having 50 bitcoins is more than a lot. In your case of loosing it, well its really upsetting. However, I guess you have more than 50 bitcoins before you loose it. I know you have already set yourself before betting it that it might loose from you. I know its not easy but more than loosing it is the lesson you learn from it. You may cry or regret now after a while you will see the lessons behind it. You must probably be ok now. Or have gain back your losses. In the end, it all start with who or what will you choose. To regret or to move on and play it again.

I would have probably stopped after losing a single bitcoin. Losing 50 is simply crazy except for when btc price was not yet too high.

Even me i will stop playing gambling games, i thunk if i only lose 1 bitcoin i am going crazy then 50 bitcoin i think im gonna die if that will happen. Much better to keep away in gambling until you dont lose something big amount of bitcoin this is not profitable only house collect income with all their players.

Loosing in gambling is still loosing whether you loose bitcoin or fiat money because you are actually loosing the amount of money in fiat that you purchased your coins with ( of course if you bought them and didn't do some work to get them , because if you gambled with all your income then you should really feel ashamed and try to work better on your way of spending .. ) . But loosing such a huge figure (787k dollars with the current value ) should be devastating since it's a small fortune that you can lead a good life with it for the rest of your life . And trying to win it back will make you loose more , so get over it and over gambling in general .

50 Bitcoins is too big amount to gamble! First of all I think you should only gamble with a little and limited amount(Which you can increase of course, based on your financial condition). But, 50 bitcoin is such a large amount. Betting 50 Bitcoins in gambling is crazy and foolish! Gambling should be done only for fun and when it starts to get stressful it should be stopped. Betting 50 bitcoins and losing them can literally lead to a heart attack! I don't think risking an amount this big would be worth at all.

I would really feel bad because 50 bitcoin is not a joke. It's a high amount of money and it would be difficult to earn that much money in a short period of time. That's why I really think that gambling addiction is not good. You might lose all the things that you have if you are addicted to gambling.

50 Bitcoin is already enough for me to buy my dream house. I feel this person's situation. I gambled my money before. All of my salary for 2 months went to nothing because I gambled it. It made me realized that gambling is not useful for me, hence, it will just lead me in being bankrupted. I was depressed at that time when I lose all my salary. Someone approached me because of my situation before, she managed to help me stop gambling by simply decreasing my bet until I cannot gamble even just a single penny I have. From that time, I always thought that gambling will only lead my life to being nothing. So why not just save your money and make plans to have it grow bigger using a proper way. I still blame myself whenever I think about what I just done but eventually, this mistake made me stronger and helped me to be more wiser when it comes to money. Gambling is just losing or taking risk of your money all the time for me. It is just still based on every person's thinking of what gambling really is. I thought that way of gambling based on how I experienced it.

Same here, 50 bitcoins is really big here in my country. You can buy a big house and high end pc too, i feels really bad to that person but i'm sure he is so rich in real life. Gambling with 50 bitcoins is so insane, i hope he's not suicide because of that.

It will give me a heartache even if i just lose less than 1 bitcoin. So probably it will give me a heart attack and put me in a coma for a lifetime if i am going to lose that big sum of btc. For the riches it may be nothing to them. That is the reality of life.

It would be the BIGGEST and DUMBEST Regret I wouldn't forget. That's a lot of money in each I could retire early and start a business, manage my own farm, better future for my family, In short, an amazing life (Not saying that I don't have an amazing life right now). Losing 50 BTC... there are no words can explain my feelings if that happens. But life must go on they said, I would literally leave gambling for good and never come back.

My reaction will be very bad if i lose 50btc in gambling. But first of all, i have no 50 bitcoins and secondly if i have 50 bitcoins, then why i do this mistake that i use my all bitcoins in betting instead of it that i know gambling is full of risky place and i always suggest to others that don't play a big bet because its mean you are taking a big risk.   

Dont know if he is reach or he is a BTC whale but it is very bad to lose huge sum like that. If these people use that BTC in business or in other investments they must be billionaires and they can have a very good amount of money till you depart on this Earth. I dont know what are these guys thinking but if they are reach then better put that money into other people like for example charity, if its just a casual person who mine BTC in the early days then I felt bad for him.

I think bitcoin around that time is not as expensive as today so 50 btc doesn’t cost that much when he lose it but of course the regret will always be there if only he saved it and did not used it in gambling instead in trading then maybe has more than of what he lose right now.

If I lost 50 BTC at the market price now, I will feel very bad. This is my salary for many years and I could have buy a nice house for my family.

Indeed, this is a lot of money right now. However, there are millionaires out there that can really lose this much money in one bet without even hurting their pockets. I guess these are the inequalities of life we could say. Some just has so much money compared to others and we can't really do anything about it but to tax them and redistribute wealth (as the governments would put it, which I don't think really works since there are still a lot of poor people).

For me, losing that big amount of bitcoin, I will feel very bad as well. But I can't blame anyone but myself. You decided to risk everything and that's what you get. As a fellow gambler, I would understand everything, as compare to people who don't understand gamblers mindset. Its all or nothing.Its the risk that every gambler has to make. But what if he goes to win another 50 bitcoin? What will be our reaction then?

And for those who are not ready to take such risk, then I will tell you that don't deal with gambling. I myself have lost tons of money in gambling, but its my choice and I have to deal with it personally.

Losing 5O bitcoin gambling? It's crazy, yes it's crazy if you're still gambling after losing that much. Having lost so much it should make us realize that no good results will come to us if we gamble, which is just the opposite, a bad result that always comes. having fun or for profit, losing as much as it is very bad.

Yes for people having thousands of bitcoins in their wallet has no effect of losing 50 bitcoin but for me it is more than a huge amount. If I get this much amount of bitcoin it will change my lifestyle totally. I will be living a prime live, could buy a luxurious car, and many things with it. Right now I am not in a position to sacrifice a single satoshi to lose but there are lucky guys who don't care.

Aw,  sad but true. Sometimes I think that riches are wasting their money for gambling but on the other side of society there are people who suffers from poverty. But if I were to lose that amount of bitcoins I might be expressionless that moment, and got silent for a few days or weeks 😂 haha.

Losing this certain amounts is just nothing for a dumb gambler. They can only feel it if they started to lose all of their amounts. I can also say that I will never lose that certain amount because I will never gamble that certain amount unless the price of bitcoin would be less than $1. Still, it sucks tho that person could have been enjoying his/her millions of dollars right now.

Situations would really vary on each bitcoin holder and for those whales they dont really care at all on losing 50 BTC since they do have hundreds or even thousands of bitcoins this is why they can really afford to lose up those amounts but for us small earners or on mid-tier level wont really be a dumb person to waste up a single satoshi. We do know how hard to obtain or earn bitcoin nowadays specially it is already valuable and i cant afford to lose it up on a blink of an eye.

Why you are not sure that there are people who are heavy gamblers with heavy bankrolls. Such people do exist in real life but people think it’s not true because such people are very low in ratio and seen very rare in market. These people are truly the man of great self control because they also have faced many great losses in their lives but they never lose hope. At the end, they get reward for their patience.

Since 50btc is really big amount of money though how rich you are 50btc is really big amount of money it can really touch the heart of the person who own that big amount og money. Still if you lose that big amount of money i think you cant express how you feel how mad you are or how down you are , you will not understand your feelings. Though you are rich and have a lot of money still i think it could be difficult to you to lose that big amount of money but nothings you can do about it just to move on.

Even though the OP wrote about the incident in 2016, one can't help but feel sorry for him and one more thing if I had 50 BTC, why would I go on to gamble in the first place, I really don't understand what goes through the mind of some people at all. I would have collapsed and maybe died if this happened to me.

It's the people who can really afford to gamble are spending that big amount, this would not really have a big effect to them if that is their range.
He just saw the betslip and I always see a lot of people sharing that kind of amount in their bets before in the chat and for me during that time it's not so big.

If I lost 50 butcoins now and considering that the value of it now is much higher than when it was posted then i would surely be broken and very down as the value of it means that I have betted that large amount and have lost it all in an instant

Same here if I will lose 50 bitcoin now my future would probably not going to be in a bright side that is why I don't really recommend using crypto in gambling or even fiat because its not easy to find that money and bitcoin value grow every year.

50 bitcoins is still 50 bitcoins, losing it is a really huge mess for someone, it would be a hard thing to get over with since bitcoin is the most expensive coin living in the cryptocurrency world. Thinking about the prices of it right now could make us cry if we are going to lose that 50 bitcoin, or even worse, we could even end our lives because of the depression of losing such amount of money.

Lol not to the point of committing suicide though since i don't think there ever will be a severe enough reason to commit suicide. But that would be regret to the extreme level and i'd probably be hating myself for a very long time.

I can’t even dream about losing such a huge amount of capital just in a useless game such as the poker or dice. First of all a person must set some sort of limits regarding the money he or she has bet for the sake of gambling. Losing 50 Btcs means that you have just given up on your chance of becoming a billionaire and living an easy life ahead. All I have to say about this person is nothing more than the sympathies and an advice to not trying gambling for winning back his losses.

I can’t say anything about the feelings of such a gambler who lost 50 BTCs during gambling because I haven’t lost such amount. Even though, I haven’t lost whole Btc during gambling but I can imagine about the feeling of such a gambler who will lose 50 Btcs because as a gambler, I also lose games as it’s a part of game but from inner sad, I feel like no one in the world would be more unfortunate than me at the moment, then think what will happen to that gambler.

It is something on which no one can trust because it doesn’t makes any sense. I think no one has guts to afford such a big loss in gambling.

If it were to lose 50 BTCs then one can think about it because it can happen in reality because there are many stories describing the losses bigger than this in business because business is something bigger than gambling. If one losses such an amount in gambling, I will simply call it a blunder from his side.
