Out of curiosity, how much you wagered recently?

[Wexnident]

I think we have a winner here:

Tyler “Trainwreckstv” a prominent Twitch streamer, has allegedly embarked on an extraordinary gambling journey, with a jaw-dropping $14 billion in bets placed on the online crypto gambling platform

I saw people wagering a lot of money, but this guy took it to some higher levels... How can we compete in some wagering wars and competitions against players who wager so much? Do we even have a chance?

Are wagering wars seriously a thing? And even if so, if you're not participating I don't think you need to mind how much others bet, especially for cases of people like this guy here. And if you were, then yeah naturally you don't. You don't even need to compare bet amounts, just compare a general idea of your assets vs his, it should be more than enough to give you an idea of whether you can ever outwager the man or not.

Admittedly it is rather high though. I don't think I'd ever go past $1000 for a bet, let alone that much.

Another level to say the least. I feel like that amount is impossible to put in context so that people would understand how much it is in reality, because people get confused by just a million.

But let's try:

• He gambled 17% of Finland's yearly budged.
• New York median listing home price is $899000, so $14 billion would mean 15572 median price houses in New York.
• Most expensive movie today (Force awakens) was $552 million dollars, with $14 billion you could produce over 25 of those.
• When $64.1 Million dollars were stolen from Stake this year in a heist. People were worried if their money was safe. Trying to explain how little that was from their yearly revenue was hard to visualize. This time i thought i would provide visual perspective:

Tldr; 14 billion is a lot of money.

That is a lot of money for gambling. Wow,I think making deposits to gamble $14billion in a stake.com is too risky, how the hell did he even think of doing that. Just as the reporter said, I will not doubt a sec if he is truly a Saudi Prince, I have seen people gambling with hundred of thousands of dollars but never heard of a billion dollar gambling. Having seen this post I want to ask do we call this gamble addition or just irresponsible? And the most shocking part of the news being that he has been doing this with some couple of millions of dollar.

I only remember my own commitment, I bet just to try my luck with the small value that I have and that I can afford to give to gambling and have no intention of competing with anyone. Its possible that a whale bettor like him will be able to spend that amount of money, no matter what the goal is, he is someone who is truly capable of losing such a large amount and sometimes as small gamblers we will have feelings of envy that we want to be like him, but that is only a momentary feeling and quickly passes. because in the end we are more self aware that small gamblers are more attractive to each gambler


in the history that I remember I once bet a total of $9000 but dont remember how much I spent each betting session because I never counted it, I just looked at the statistics of my total bet.

Who goes to war with a wager amount? Is there some reward for those who gamble with the highest amount in this world, and is it not who has such money first as a person that will be able to wager up to that, or can we just wager what we don't even have?

I'm not in competition with anyone; if I gamble, I gamble for myself. I don't even care what the next person sitting close to me thinks about my small beginning; they talk more of me competing with people who are wealthy and are looking for casinos to make richer from their own wealth.
 
Anyone who starts thinking in this direction might end up selling all that they have and gambling with it just to make sure that they come out on the top high rollers list, but what's in it for them as the only side I see benefiting from such competition is the casino and no one else? Let's remove such a competitive mindset from us as it's really not worth it.

This news has been received with lots of skepticism from the online gambling community. People are wondering the source of wealth of Trainwreckstv, some even suggested that he is a Saudi Arabian prince due to the amount he had spent on gambling. But it all turned out that showcasing this high amount of bets might be a marketing strategy by Stake to attract gamblers to its platform. This is suspected because Trainwreckstv is a co-founder of Kick a streaming platform that has a business connection with Stake. This is also the case of the Canadian rapper and singer Drake who always shows his bets in Stake on social media, meanwhile, he is affiliated with the casino.

Our gambling activities shouldn't be controlled or motivated by this kind of news because they might have some undertones. It is necessary to gamble based on our capacity which is determined by our income. I have a gambling plan that guides my gambling activity for the month and I don't think I have placed up to $500 on a single bet. So I might not gamble close to what Trainwreckstv has spent in my lifetime.

[electronicash]

why do you have to compete a billionaire?
his money is not yours so if you gamble you only need to win your bets. there are thousands to millions of gamblers in crypto and its possible that millions of them are richer than you. 

but its also true they have more advantage especially when they got the best of stake. can't even become a vip on stake. they do get a lot of benefit from casinos for being a high roller.

I wager just little amount of money anytime that I am gambling. One thing that you should have in mind is to never follow what other people are doing because we are not rich the same in life. $500 may be the weekly earning of some people, but this may be like $1 or less in amount  of money to some other people. While some people will earn $500 or more in just every single minute. Wager with the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

[Z390]

Since when is your wagering amount a competition with what others can afford to wager? Whoever this person is I wish him the best of goof luck, if he win with such amount the casino will have a hard time paying him, anyway, even if I have that high amount of money I believe that gambling will never come to my mind, that's a lot of money to set me up for life.

I am sorry for those who like looking at others for making decisions, we don't know how much this person worth to risk this much money, I believe he isn't stupid, if he can risk this much money its either he do it because he knew the outcome already or he has a whole lot more of money and he doesn't care.

The worst thing that you can do as a gambler is trying to copy what others are doing, you risking $200 and you feel missed out because your friend want to risk $500, you start feeling that he will make more money than you and you don't like it, then you will get yourself in trouble if you lose the money, forget how much you want to win and think more about how much you want to lose.

When I looked at the title of this thread and read the content in this link, every time I read what is in this link I kept thinking: where is the proof of what is in the title of the article? So I would calm down and continue reading what is in the article and all I was seeing were assumptions and rumors. and where was the evidence? I simply had no proof. So I continued reading the article until the end and to my shock I also didn't have any proof, not at least the screenshots of this guy's account who says he bet that much money. I'm not a psychic, so I'm not going to say that he's lying, but in the same way that I don't have a crystal ball to see if he's lying, I also don't have a crystal ball to see if he's telling the truth, being So it is necessary to have concrete proof that he is telling the truth before people believe the things he is saying.

I believe that the guy who wrote this article, before creating this article, should have done an interview with @Trainwreckstv and asked him when did he start playing at stake, what are his statistics, how much he won and how much he lost and the Most importantly: in each section he put how much money and how many hours he played. with this we would see the answers coming directly from the source, without assumptions and rumors. after that they should ask him where the money comes from for him to play and how much money he puts into the casino and how often. an article needs to be investigative to provide good data and be different from other competing articles

in my case, as I'm not rich and even if I were rich I wouldn't be putting a lot of money into the game, that's because I play for fun, and obviously life isn't just about playing, there are other things that a person can do and must do in the real world to have fun. so here is my Wagered: $3,816.29, I'm still a Bronze member. I don't know what day I'll level up, but even if it takes time, as long as I keep playing at some point I'll level up

[yahoo62278]

This dude is a sponsored streamer and his wagers do not count towards most promotions I do believe. I'm not 100% sure on that, but it would be a clear disadvantage to others in a wagering contest to be fighting against house money.

Regardless, you would still have to have a decent bankroll to compete in the contests or have 1 hell of a wager strategy if you wanted to win a wager contest. I personally do not even wager $5000 a week. Normally closer to $1000.

(...)I saw people wagering a lot of money, but this guy took it to some higher levels... How can we compete in some wagering wars and competitions against players who wager so much? Do we even have a chance?

That's not the reason why I have to play/or stop playing gambling games, when at the beginning of the week, I just spent about $5 to buy some lottery tickets for about $0.5/ticket.
Although this is a game I participate in quite often, I have never felt pressured to win, although in the past I have tasted the taste of a winner a few times.
I also know there are people who spend a lot of money on gambling games every day, indeed they have a lot of money and that amount of money can be a dream for many people, including me. But more realistically, I will play to my own ability, more or less, I just see it as an entertainment tool, so I don't care much about someone spending a lot of money on these gambling.

That's better my friend because in my opinion this is just a gambling activity that is not at all recommended to prioritize in your life, getting involved in a small amount is better because indirectly you assume and agree that gambling is just an activity for profit and to just try your luck. I will not focus too much on how much their weekly or monthly income is and certainly even if for example the amount of your income is quite large then it is better to budget only a few percent on your gambling, and yes it is true that we should not think of following others, whether it is in terms of the method or the capital they allocate to gambling, of course on the other hand if your income is much smaller than your desire to allocate a budget to gambling because you want to follow the way like others then obviously it will only cause some financial problems to come to you.

500$ for a rich person might not mean much but for us it might cost us a few weeks of living, so the point is like you said, we should be able to allocate a budget that we can be responsible for whatever the outcome is, it's better for prevention and with that I say that you are a pretty responsible gambler.

[piebeyb]

He can't be used as an example for lower middle class gamblers or poor gamblers, he looks like a gambling addict betting that much money is very crazy in my opinion, besides I'm still not sure whether the betting money is real or there is really cooperation between the casino owners to promote the casino In particular, sometimes I'm not too sure about streamers and influencers from every bet they make directly, but it all comes down to their own views.

Personally, I probably only spend around $100 every week and sometimes that can even last for two weeks depending on the luck I get when gambling, because I don't really care about winning big when gambling. What's in my mind is just gambling to find entertainment and have fun. the gambling that I play, nothing more than that.

These people have the means to wager that amount the guy in the article is a streamer who made a lot of money from sponsorships but there are a lot of high rollers who can do that, but here in our community I doubt there's one who can wager even $1 billion, a gambler who can do this is a high roller who can back up a big bankroll and wager that amount.

It's too risky to try to even challenge half of the amount when it comes to wagering responsible gamblers should not compare themselves to other gamblers just go based on how high they can manage, it's a risky venture if you try to beat other people you will be tempted to increase your bankroll, even to the point of surpassing your limit.
When it comes to wagering every gambler should be on his own, I have never asked my friends how much they wager, and also kept it to myself, I'm just contented with what I achieved and avoid bragging about it.

[danherbias07]

No, we don't have a chance and we cannot win those competitions being posted by gambling sites because those are for high rollers.
I don't even think I am near that number not a slight chance or even 1 percent of it.
Anyway, it's not like he also spends that amount because there's always a back-and-forth situation in casino games.
Sometimes the gambling site does give back what you lose but that's if you continue playing only, this is why a one-time bet is not a recommended style for online gambling because we need to witness the RTP to click first and it sometimes it doesn't happen even in 100 consecutive bets.
I guess the lucky ones are those who referred those high rollers. I mean, they are making passive money without any sweat and risk involved.

[bitbollo]

Never compete in a wagering competition
Its too hard lost and as worst ... get forced to play many games, a strategy that can just lead to waste money.

Wagering Is pretty different in values if you bet in gambling (casino) or sportsbet.
Personally (this year) I am not wagering more than 5k USD per month.

[KTChampions]

What interests me is that if we take a 1% house edge, he should have lost at least $140 million. But he boasts that in the last year and a half he has won 300 million. Maybe he's lying? Why should he stream if he has a quarter of a billion dollars + 50 million on top. And the article also says that he made 7.5 million bets - this is a huge distance and he cannot be profitable on it purely mathematically.

Basically just speaking on the house edge and the amount wagered then it is really that talking about multi-millions on which from that alone then we could really say that he had already lost that big.
This is really that hard thing on online world on which every information couldn't really be that exactly be precise or just simply telling the truth. Lets assume that this one is legit
then there's no way for us to reach out on what these people been able to do so. There are rich people there are average and poor ones. There's no such thing in speaking about equality
yet this had been always a normal thing on todays society on where it is really that divided basing up into your financial capacity.

For me then total wagered for this year is already playing around $1000+ and im not really that a heavy gambler. Amount might be small but this is
only the money on which i could really that afford to lose. If those people do able to make such huge spending that only elite people could do then just let them be.
Its their money that had been used not ours. It is really just that there are people who do really love on seeing these spectacular amounts.

The house edge works the same way for both a rich gambler and a poor one, there is no inequality here. I would like to know more details about his gambling, but knowing that he is a “twitch streamer” it is naive to believe that we will ever know any truth. They all work for their own image and no one needs the truth here. And I will continue to adhere to the opinion that purely mathematically, his results are unrealistic, 100% there is some nuance that is hidden from the public.

Of course normal people do not stand a chance against such guys who for them I assume gambling is everything in life otherwise there is no explanation as to why some person need to wager 14 milliard dollars.We don't stand a chance and for us mere humans I loved the Play n Go tournaments at Sportsbet.io in 2019-2020 as now they don't offer anymore this provider but in there it was the total amount of money wagered and we were allowed to bet 0.10 dollars as the minimum bet so we could play really long with a low amount of money,this is what normal people wager  .

[Natsuu]

I’m in no competition with no one; if they like let them wager billions of dollars if the only amount I have is a single dollar I’m going to split it up and wager cents. Lol

Right. When it comes to gambling, I prefer to keep things casual. It is not necessary to jump into high-stakes wagering games if it doesn't align with your budget or comfort level. I find that enjoying the games for what they are and having fun without putting too much pressure on myself to compete with big spenders makes the experience much more enjoyable. I mean there are plenty of low-stakes or friendly games where we can have a good time without breaking the bank. Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a financial burden.
