Wrong Bets !!!

[NicNacCoin]

"sportsbet" I made a mistake bet that cost me like 100 dollars. Error When I selected a football team from my Betfury account, one team was mistakenly selected instead of another. For example, Liverpool were supposed to be selected but Bournemouth were mistakenly selected. This is a common mistake I make when taking bets in a hurry. In that match, my selected football team lost the game and lost the $100 I bet. After making this mistake I didn't pay too much attention when selecting the team later and then placing the bet.

Sports betting sites have several ways to reward players if you play regularly, the sportsbook will invite you to different loyalty programs from time to time. While you may be excited about sports no deposit bonus bets, be aware that some loyalty bonuses are limited to certain games. If the offer is limited to CS GO, ask yourself if this is a game you enjoy playing. Sports betting should be fun, but it's easy to get caught up in the moment if you want to be a responsible online gamer start by learning the rules.

I think we are all experiencing the same where we do have too much in our mind that we get lost to what exactly we are doing. It should be a good lesson to OP to not done the same thing again or else he knows what are the consequences of his action. It's a sad experience but we just have to move forward and learn with our mistakes. Although, if OP win that bet he must have been so lucky but unfortunately, luck doesn't favor him that time. Better luck next time.

That was a huge bet, and it's a loss. If that's a win, then it's okay. I am not sure if this happened to me before, as I am always keen on checking zeros before hitting a bet because, as you know, I am very into attention to details and I don't want to be wrong, so I always check it. You should be always double checking this or also try to bet like using other forms of cryptocurrency that are whole like doge so that you won't be having problems on zeros, but if you are just keen on checking it then it is okay.

If it's destined to happen, it will happen no matter what a person does to prevent this from happening. If we use tokens that are whole, we will definitely do something like instead of betting 44, we will bet 444 and that again will be a problem. The only thing that can prevent this from happening is the presence of mind at that moment and your luck.

If a person is not destined to lose money on that day, even if they make such a mistake, they will win the bet and then once they realize that they messed up the first bet, they would change it but fortunately, they would still be able to play more since they didn't lose the unintentional big bet.

There is another thing that can prevent this from happening.
If the casino sites display a popup showing the amount of the bet then this would alert the user from placing the bet.
This would help us and make us sure that we are placing bet with the right amount.
But may be casino sites don't implement this wantedly because they want people to commit such mistakes.

How are you now, OP? You would've turned your 0.005 into a 40% gain if you would've just won that; sadly, that's not your day. Try again next week.

Kidding aside, you should be wary of what you will do with your funds, especially if you receive it in a casino account, because it's prone to be played upon or even the company's tactic. Kidding only; it does hint at a "wanted to be played" type of feeling.

It is best to take a little more time to observe before submitting any bet. Many times gamblers try to catch the fixed odds which leads them to submit bets quickly. That's why all these mistakes can happen. Since there is a high probability of mistakes in such steps, caution is definitely the only solution. One should never risk losing extra money in the hope of winning an uncertain bet.

If you bet on sports bookie you can unstake your bet, even though not all of your money will back, but at least you're not lose it all. How it's possible we ca bet on fixed odds? AFAIK when we want to place our bet, there's will be a message if you will accept odds change, so if you bet on pre match it doesn't have any advantage. Most of the events usually doesn't have a lot change from the early odds, although some of matches the odds can swing.

The platforms that allow live betting does have the option where odds change based on the game's position. So let's say there is a football match between FC Barcelona and PSG, and you are live betting on the game having odds of 1.59 and 2.40 respectively. You bet on FCB having 1.59 odds of winning, and as the game proceeds, PSG scores at '44 while FCB is still at nil. That would change the odds in the favor of PSG and your bet will be in loss.

You can redeem your bet in the middle of the game if you wish in a live bet, but only if the team you've bet on is winning already. So a wrongly placed bet in a live match can save someone if the team they choose stays ahead, so that they can redeem their bet before the end results.

The risk of doing all in for a 40% gain is not worthy even if he do the right bet. I hate playing dice specially with those higher winning percentage with lower returns because it can give same lose streak when using 50% win chance rate. Dice always give the shittiest chance when betting significant amount.

I believe he will surely secured his bet onwards since he really in pain on the lose by doing a special mention on this thread about it.

Today morning received the weeks payment. I had the payment of the previous week. Altogether it was around 0.0055 in the wallet. The first bet was planned to be 0.0005BTC. Instead of placing 0.0005BTC, I misplaced 0.005BTC and the bet was lost. This was completely unexpected and it is my fault. If the bet have won my wallet balance could've turned 0.007BTC, now it is an empty wallet.

Have any of you encountered such wrong bets and won/lost

Such a mis-understanding a long time ago in a Gambling site called Bitgame, while taking a multi for PSG, it became $100 instead of $10 and zero double clicked and one zero became more and I immediately confirmed. I lost that bet and lost $100 from that bet. I never made the same mistake a second time. Before confirming I must check well and then confirm.

Ouch sorry for that huge loss, it was close to the amount lost by the OP but the incident should teach us a lesson and that is to not rush things but let us always make it a habit to double-check the bets that we are placing carefully. Another mistake that can happen in betting is when we accidentally touch that auto roll betting and the max bet button when playing on casino games.

If there was an option to turn them off we better do it and don't wait for the worst to happen. I feel sorry too for the OP. I know earning that huge amount is not easy because it was worth a week of posting. What if stake casino sees this and give you some refund? That would be awesome .

You can charge it to experience and learn from this experience and move on, its a big amount and two weeks of effort but this could prepare you to be more attentive next time, especially when trading a big amount, you will be more attentive when sending, trading, betting when you have a prior experience like this and it involves a big amount.

I have a similar experience but not with betting and it's about giving tips I did not ask for a refund because it's a mistake on my part and it's not really that big amount, sometimes we made mistakes to be more attentive, especially when it involves our coins.

[nimogsm]

oh, I had similar situations  . After them, I made a rule for myself never to sit down to play sleepy or in a poorly controlled state.So I always check the bet several times to make sure that I entered everything correctly.My advice to you is not to be upset, you lose not a very large amount,next time you will be more careful.

[darewaller]

Personally, I have never experienced such mistake, possibly because I am always very careful when typing in bet amount, I type it in, then crosscheck it again before hitting the confirm button.

And again, to avoid mistakes like this, is one of the reasons why I prefer to gamble in usdt instead of bitcoin or any other coin, to achieve this, I usually withdraw my weekly payment out of stake into an exchange where I convert it to usdt, then deposit usdt back into stake and play as much as I want until my bankroll turns zero.

Or you could also switch to betting in usd worth of coin(bitcoin for example) and not in the coin's worth itself, this I believe would help avoid mistakes as this.

Congrats then but I hope you are not jealous with the others who already made one or a few . Losing all our deposits in an blink of an eye is depressing but we are lucky if the accidental bet turns out to be a win because we can be a little richer with it or possible to be rich for real if you play on a really huge multiplier. It's a good idea to use USDT to easily see the numbers.

It has other advantage too. It protects your money from the hazards of the volatility but if one is not a fan of stable coins, there are cheap altcoins that they can use like TRX and Doge to avoid miss looking the zeros when using BTC and other expensive cryptos. Withdrawing our salary first is a good idea because we might be tempted and use it all.

Some bettors even mistakenly input the wrong bet amount in their fiat local currency value, what's more when dealing in decimal in bitcoin.

To minimize the risks, having it shown to our local currency might help us to avoid that kind of mistake.

Fortunately, most crypto-gambling sites now do have an option to show BTC value in fiat value to have the bet amount more specific.

[Sandra_hakeem]

This happened to me once but on sports and with a little bit higher amount.

Instead of 0.01btc I bet 0.1btc. when the price was around 15000$ . Needless to say that the bet of course lost.

That time this was a good amount of my previous winnings and ever since I have only kept and played with small amounts in my account.

Expensive lesson!!

You must have had that much in your casino wallet to have wagered them, so why should you? Why should you prefer to HODL 'em coins of such worth on a centralized casino wallet, with the hope to bet on with them? I'm just happy you came to realized how costly your mistakes were, but the sad part Is that you learnt it the hard way.
I haven't made 'em mistakes on much funds anyways; but it actually happened twice when I was a cashier in a show-room casino...I wagered twice the initial amount for the game, so I had to pay for it from my pockets..... serious lessons to learn.

Fat finger often happens to people who are drunk or absent-minded or have their minds on another thing.  That is why when gambling we need to focus on our gambling session and don't get distracted by outside events unless it is very important.  This is one of the reasons why gambling while drunk is not advised but land base casinos do make their player drunk so that they can not be aware of how much they are losing.

Yeah, it is a good thing that crypto casinos now a day or are showing crypto balance in fiat currency.  This way we can easily identify how much we are wagering and can easily notice when we made a typo.

The estimation feature on bets really helps gamblers to adjust the bet value before betting, so if someone enters the wrong bitcoin decimal then he will see a different estimated value and he can immediately fix it without any errors.

So increase security before betting, we don't need to rush to gamble without checking the value of the bet properly and it is recommended for every gamble to consider analysis for the chance to win the gamble.

[Botnake]

this often happens to me, maybe my mistake was also playing when I was sleepy so I didn't focus on playing but forced myself to play, in the end I misplaced the additional 0 so I had to lose 0.01 BTC at that time, lol
but behind it all, it made me learn that never play a casino when my eyes are tired or sleepy, at least play with full awareness so that no mistakes occur. hopefully you get a replacement soon. 

That the disadvantage if you insist to play even if you know you are not 100% focused on your game. Expect that you will lose in the end and wishing you hadn’t play at all. There are also instances that happened to me before when I insist to bet while I was busy doing something. In the end, I lose the bet, not because it’s a wrong bet, but more likely it’s a random bet without making my analysis first.

I have been making wrong bets before and eventually lose most of them. And I think that’s also my fault since I was never really into serious betting way back then, but still no regrets since I was only betting at a small amount. But I think we can always avoid wrong bets if we really want to. Only bet when you think you feel a bit lucky that time, and always make good analysis before betting. That way, even if gambling is still luck based, at least you know you are betting on the highest probability to win.

[decodx]

Oh man, that really sucks! I hate it when I make mistakes like that and end up losing money that I didn't intend to. But hey, it happens to the best of us. That's happened to me a few times too and it's always a bummer. At least you know it was completely your fault and not some glitch in the system or anything like that. But there is also the opposite situation, where you accidentally place a larger bet than you intended and end up winning big! And it's such a great feeling when you realize you just made a lot more money than you were expecting.

But yeah, when it comes to online gambling, it's important to always double-check your bets and make sure you're putting in the right amount. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement and accidentally make a mistake, but those mistakes can end up costing you in the long run.
