High Rollers

This is not surprising I see someone in Bustabit place bet with more than 30 BTC which I think is more than a million dollar but his risk was very low I think 1.02x unlike this user from the OP the risk is much more higher and he definitely lose it that is the bad thing about it but I am sure that it was just like a few to him.

There are numerous justifications for wagering such this big amount of money. The first thing that comes to mind is that he is being greedy? The second reason is that he believes he is extremely fortunate today and is confident that he will win, and the third reason is that he is in debt and wishes to recover all of the money that he borrowed to pay it. Well, this is the most obvious reason that came to mind, but I haven't seen a single bet that is as large as this one, and I don't pay much attention to other people's bets because I get jealous when they are betting more than I am and tempted to bet even more.

What if the bet was a regular one or average on all this user's bet? I don't think it can be called greediness. Being fortunate or lucky for the day is what people thinks in the first place that they want to risks huge amount but I think there might be a reason you haven't included like this user is some kind of a gambler that take huge risks or a real life billionaire, something like that.

Do you mean this user's bet is the bet he always makes with such a large amount? If so, that was the amount he could bet. If they wanted to take that big risk without thinking about what would happen if they lost, it wouldn't be a good idea, even if they were billionaires. But it could be that a billionaire who has a lot of bitcoins wants to throw away his bitcoins by gambling because he is confused about what he will use his bitcoins with. But sadly, we never know which user staked such a large amount of bitcoins and how much he already used to gamble.

Yes, I immediately thought of KYC when I read this news. There is no chance of "anonymous" playing with that amount of money. It turns out that someone with many millions of dollars is fully verified in a crypto casino and prefers blockchain betting using cryptocurrencies. This is good news for everyone who believes in cryptocurrencies and their further widespread adoption.

Amazing that someone with 20BTC verified his online casino account which some people are not willing to do it. He must have a great trust to this casino.  If I have that amount and willing to gamble it all, I would prefer to go to a real casino and play there. This might depend to where he is from but aren't winnings from casino subjected to tax?

In most countries, casino winnings are taxed, but I think it is up to the gambler to declare such winnings. If he's not from the strictest jurisdiction like the US where you can get a real criminal sentence for tax evasion, then it makes sense to try to evade it. At least I would try to do this, with certain amounts of winnings, you can even leave the country of residence and "forget" about taxes.

To me it was a crazy bet and I thought it was worth the payoff, because for the whales it was a mediocre win and bet and even though there have been some big losses in the past, they believe big wins will definitely come their way.
So for ordinary people it is a crazy bet and they will think what if they lose, but for whales or billionaires they just bet on the money they have too much and try to bet luck and even if they lose it will not run out and they bet with his wits.

Many people are not capable of making that kind of money in their lifetime so this rate is really astounding. I would assume that the player could have made a mistake when placing the bet, but he made three identical bets in a row, which indicates a deliberate game. I'm afraid to imagine how much this man can spend at the casino in an evening. It all seems somehow unrealistic.

If it's a whale at gambling then I'm sure he probably has more money than he spent on those 3 bets. I don't think it's greed if he actually has a strong bankroll, that's natural but seems so far-fetched to the average gambler.

The question is, can the casino pay out if the bet is won at 5x multiplier. How can it not hit the casino's maximum payout?

The character of gamblers is generally in risking large funds because they want to return losses or all at once to gain profits. But the big whales are the exception because they can do anything without analysis and consideration other than just having fun for the chance to win the bet. However it was a crazy decision to risk the equivalent of 20 BTC in gambling and he may still have 5x more on his gambling account balance.

I really think that it's a justifiable possibility because without a big balance in his account then such a big bet is the craziest thing in his life. 20 btc per bet is a pretty insane amount for most people to bet, but there's probably a few things we can speculate about because maybe it's a whale or someone trying to win a bonus or something.

Whenever a whale do play then we dont know if they are in profits or losses unless if there are some stats on where it do shows on a certain players history and profitability but thats of course removing that anonymity

which no surprise that casinos does have that option for you to hide that information in the public.Whales doesnt care on how much they would be betting but for us average gamblers then its really good to look at

on how these big time fellas do make out their bets and it  seems that there no tomorrow.

Obviously, since the casino accepted this bet, it was ready (had funds) in order to pay out the possible winnings. As far as I know, casinos constantly check their balance and, depending on this, there is a certain winning ceiling for which a player can claim (usually this is all written in the ToS). I can assume that everything was according to established procedures.

But still, we people who don't have a large amount of Bitcoin will feel that 23 BTC is just for gambling. If we have 23 BTC, we have a plan that we want to achieve in the short, medium and long term and we will think about our future carefully. That number gives me jealousy and I'm sure we must have always dreamed of owning more bitcoins. But never mind, it's happened and we can wait to see who else will place the big bets.

Our feeling is not valuable anymore to comment on how the user bet that money. We should not feel jealous because we don’t how he get that money, Maybe he is a boss on a big company so his salary is enough to cover his loses and also this kind of whales usually have passive income coming from staking on DeFi. They are just spending some of there funds to have fun or participate on contest with greater rewards. Personally I don’t care about this whales and focus on my own financial path. We have different path in life so it’s better to focus on our own.

It is fine to only concentrate on yourself as only the money that is in your wallet has any direct effect on your life, but if I am honest I am indeed interested in something like this, after all making a 23 BTC bet either requires you to have so many bitcoins that such a loss does not affect you or it requires that the person behind that bet is disregarding everything else and putting almost all their money towards gambling, and regardless of which is the truth both scenarios are interesting to me.

Maybe that's not the case for all gamblers and only some gamblers will risk big money because, for them, the challenge is very interesting to try even though later they can lose all the money. But for the big whales, it's not a problem for them because they still have a lot of money to do it again and sometimes, they can do it again right away if they lose. Maybe for us, it was a crazy decision to risk the equivalent of 20 BTC but for him, it might be a common thing.

If I had that much money to spend on Gambling 23 BTC? I would literally complete my education and buy a house for my family. I am sure whosoever is that person, he is exceptionally stable and therefore can afford to do that. At the same time I did make a 20$ or more wager ofc, considering all or none sometimes to see if I would win, unfortunately didn't happen till now, therefore for me this strategy didn't work.
I do think that is genuinely a waste of 23 btc, not kidding. Like for real, I support gambling but at the same time maybe, use that 22 BTC somewhere else but then again I know nothing about this guy's family situation or anything but in no position to judge but guys don't waste that much money on gambling. It's wonderful as a hobby or something as a stress buster but a hobby must not be that expensive.

I'm dreaming that I can bet that kind of money, that's the big difference between playing online compared to playing in a physical casino, everything is transparent and recorded, and every casino wants to have whales that can bet huge amounts because it's a mark of the highly reputable casino when gamblers are putting in a huge amount of money out of trust from the casino they're playing.

I think the casino algorithm has the ability to check the balance available for payment in case of winning otherwise it may be an unpleasant situation where the client won and the casino has nothing to pay this winnings.

As practice shows casinos have enough money not only to pay for big winnings but also to spend huge money on promotion companies.

We should disregard our own approach on that kind of amount to those who afford to spend it. It's something out of our line.

Surely, what we think is stressful and considered an expensive hobby for us is not really a big deal for them. Big whales really have the ability to circulate that kind of amount as in the first place, they are really dedicated to that the moment they use the gambling platform for the first time, regardless if it's online casinos or physical ones.

On a positive note, those whales play a big role in the site's revenue.

Quite surprised to see consecutive high roller of above 20BTC on a single wager. Have any of you come across such big wagers in real-time. Came across this while spending time watching the high rollers on the bets tab. Have anyone came across such big bets, and I don't whether this player have managed to make a win or not.

Man, that is just crazy to witness that there are people who see 20 BTCs as something like candy- they can just bet them without breaking a sweat. I guess that these kind of gamblers are the ones who have nothing to lose- where they see gambling purely as a form of entertainment. Since they can bet large amounts of BTCs, I am assuming that these people are definitely rich; or they just want to feel the adrenaline kicking in.

Regardless, this kind of betting should be avoided especially if you are not included in the top 0.1% ultra-rich people in the world where they can purchase at least anything. As far as I know, 20 BTCs is around $800,000 which can actually purchase you almost all things in life.

I seldom check high roller's wages but it's not surprising really they are not high rollers if they are not betting hundreds of thousands of dollars, it's nothing to them, these are millionaire's lifestyles but these high rollers are betting more on physical casinos to show off to audience how rich they are, but on Cryptocurrency casino it's anonymous unless these high rollers posted their wage via screenshots on their social media account to show off people.

I understand what you are saying as if I had 23 BTC to spare then I would use that money for something else, however if the person behind that bet earned that money legitimately then they can use their money in any way they want as it is their right to do so.

After all 23 BTC is a huge amount of money no matter where you live and you can do a lot with it to the point that if you lived in a country that was too expensive you could always move out of your country to a cheaper one and probably never have to work ever again, especially if we consider those 23 BTC will get even more valuable in the future as bitocin goes up in price against fiat currencies.

[Boristhecat]

If so, it turns out that his bankroll is at least 100-150 bitcoins. And if we assume that he does not play for the last money, then this is a real multimillionaire or even a billionaire (this is very cool and indicates an adoption in my opinion). There is still a possibility that he received his bankroll as a result of some crazy winning, but this is not very close to the truth, since an ordinary person would rather withdraw the funds won than continue to play but already at fantastic limits.

That's a lot if that's an accurate one with that speculation.

But as said, we'll never know on how much he really got. And whenever there's someone that surprises us with such amounts, it's always interesting to know that person and the other information that we want to know.

Well, we're for that but it breaks the purpose of decentralization on it. It's just so funny that we're all for that because someone got to hold that huge amount of bitcoin and gambles it.

As long as gaming transactions take place inside the casino, it is impossible to track a specific player (unless he himself reveals himself). Undoubtedly it is intriguing. I think if this information were available then we would see a lot of "breaking" news about how "the son of a politician so-and-so lost a million dollars in a casino." Probably, online crypto casinos will always at least be a niche for such players, because in regular casinos information about high rollers is more likely to "leak".
