Congrats to anyone who are able to be one the 5,000 winners of the 1 million dollar race especially those who are on top places. Hopefully the prize is worth enough as it is possible that someone may lose more than the prize while wagering during the race. Today is also a time for weekly stream from Eddie, will be there a big surprise to celebrate the success of the 1 million dollar race? Lets see and wait

I was at the end days of addiction, and the loss through gambling addiction made me think of dying. However I'm completely out of such thinking and now too gambling, but with god's grace I just enjoy and trying with small amounts.

It's good to hear that you got rid of your suicidal thoughts, but I advise improving your state of mind so that you can avoid such thoughts completely in the future. Invest and gamble only what you are willing to lose.

Wagered millions in order to win 25% of the million dollar prize? I wonder if he ended up in profit or loss overall. Seems like the house benefitted more than the player in this case.

Gamblers who got their position in top has received really good reward from this big prize pool race. But I think most of the gambler lost more than the prize amount which they have received for their position. Also 8 lucky position has been selected by stake team to give them special bonus prize. You can see those rank number at stake forum ($1,000,000 race BONUS prizes! 🎉).

BTW, I got 4,538th position in this long race and received only $10 as a prize. Probably here are few many forum members who achieved more good position and received bigger prize from this race.

If we use an overall of 1% house edge flat then he would have lost $790k wagering $79 million. He got 250k as the prize so that leave him somewhere around $500k lost but he could be close to breakeven or even getting small amount of profit after the rakeback . Obviously wagering $79 mil would give him a good chunk of rakeback but this is with the assumption that he played with only 1% house edge

This number could go up alot higher if he play on various slots which usually have more than 3-4% house edge on average.

I am guessing that this number is a lot higher because his favourite game seems to be 'Sweet Bonanza' which is a candy slots game with a whopping 3.5% house edge.

My assumption is that he is in profit overall despite the high house edge against him since he probably would have stopped wagering such humongous amounts long back if his bankroll was getting depleted quickly.

If we started to keep losing while gambling or anything in our life then take a break from it and just don't focus on anything is important which avoid the stress or anything severe like suicidal thoughts. But when we want to gamble then we need to be ready always for the loss so we can avoid such thoughts as well.

I'm out of the top 5000 I knew early on that there wasn't much I could do especially hunting prize for $10 is certainly not a good idea my bankroll will be negative more than that
BTW for those of you who are in the top 5000 there is an additional prize $1000 for only 8 lucky users, you can check here https://forum.stake.com/topic/42108-1000000-race-bonus-prizes-%F0%9F%8E%89/

It is indeed difficult for addicted people to leave and one of them wants to continue gambling, but in the end, they become stressed because of the large losses, therefore remove in your brain the image of gambling that will certainly kill you if you force it.
We just need to learn to be alone where we have to be able to let go when it's ready so gambling is not a problem and this is what happens a lot when losses occur there will definitely be a lot of complaints.
Make a habit of gambling using safe money, which means it doesn't burden your life in the future.

Glad to hear, Vaskiy. The gambling subforum of bitcointalk is interesting with its active chatters like you. You should better know than others that gambling is what one should get involved if it is under control.

Am I seeing that right or wrong? That says he wagered nearly 80 million dollars, that is insane man. I mean I have seen plenty of people who gamble in casinos, and I suppose people did played this much back in the day so maybe they were early investors to bitcoin and not care about what is going on, recently I have seen someone else wager a ton and win on another place as well.

These people are crazy, sure they may not be super rich people and just lucky people that's true, but no matter who says what, unless there is a proof that this dude wasn't a wealthy person, I will keep believing that there is a guy out there who wagered 80 million dollars because he is so rich that he couldn't handle being beaten by someone else, or he just enjoys gambling and couldn't stop himself and he is so rich that even gambling 80 million worth wasn't a financial strain.

Huge congratulations to MalteseFalcon on the huge win. It wasn't an easy feat to achieve. I do recall that there were others in #1 spot throughout the duration of the contest but he kept going regardless. Even though I wasn't able to participate actively in the competition, I wanted to say a big kudos to the stake team for organising competitions like this where a large majority of participants are rewarded.

I have a question though, is there anyone in the top winning positions that got there through wagers on only Sportsbook? Because I'm thinking... To get those high wagering stats, casino games are the best bets.

Bets should be made out of our profits not with the capital we got so if we exhaust our profits then we may not gamble anymore or atleast we will take a break which is indeed.

Gambling is really fun and thrilled experience but the problem raises when we use it to make money for our living.

I didn't keep track of the competition but when I was watching it, this name 'MalteseFalcon' was not there. Did he suddenly wake up and wager $80 million overnight to win $250k? Whatever, congrats to him on such big win. I wish I could wager even 1/10000 of his wager.

No one knows except himself and Stake. I did not see his name as well few days back when the leader was a hidden username with more than $45million if I remember it correctly. Who knows if he was one of the hidden usernames then he decided to set the private off to show his name before the race end? There can be some speculation, but it is not that important thing imho. No matter he did it overnight or in just few hours, he did it very well although we do not know whether he is in positive or negative while wagering that $80 million.

[brandonlang]

So i bet on a ufc girl to win by sub. The other girl got disqualifed and my bet is a loss!!!!? Fucking scammers. Second time i got scammed by this bastards. The other day i bet on a tennis player to win his part of the draw, hours later i place my bet he withdraw from tournament and they set bet as loss instead of void!!!! Fuck you scammers

So does it mean that 'MalteseFalcon' was from the Stake team who suddenly pops up right at the end to win the competition. I am not accusing stake right now but it seems that something fishy is going on here. But then if the stake wanted to manipulate the competition they could have keep the name hidden till the end. It must have been some sort of whale who wager $80 million

Every scenario is possible but you guys just speculation there is no right things in here. IMO, discussing some topics we can't really be trusted just a wasting time. For example the scenario from @Bitnity, he can be private his account so no one knows his name but he decides to make his account public during the last of the month. By the progress of STAKE, while they can hire some UFC to be ambassadors and how they handle previous lottery contests.

I'm really sure they don't want to do that, still can imagine how much they cost to promoted stake with ambassador UFC but they cheat their own contest? I guess not. If some unknown casino, I still believe they can be cheat but for stake well I trusted them.
