This was my highest risk.

[Jating]

It was a huge risk on your end, I have taken many during my height on sports betting, but not this big though. 20 games is too big for me, maybe I have taken like 10 or less. Of course there are games like that I'm playing the lightning roulette and sometimes it will have like a multiplier of x50-x500. And there are times that I will hit that single bet with a small bet and win.

But congrats for that big risk that you have taken yet, for sure there are a lot of emotions when you are about to hit that win.

For sure your friend as well are very proud of the risk and the bet that he had taken and he made the right decision to sell it to you and both of you have that kind of big win.

[Churchillvv]

Merely looking at the stake and the win one could just conclude that you didn't take any risk because the stake is less than a dollar but looking at the whole story I can't believe someone will take such risk, although that amount you bought the game with is based on ones capacity there are people who can afford it whether they loss  or not they don't worry about it but for you OP with your expression it means it cost you alot if that amount was lost.

Well on a personal level I will never take such risk even if I got a lot of bucks sitting on my desk I won't imagine trying such. You probably got a 2X of your stake and that's very nice. Congratulations on this but I wouldn't suggest you take such anymore.

[Nwada001]

This is indeed a risk you took. Most times, this kind of risk is not only risky because you might lose the large amount of money you used to buy that game, but it could also lead to violence if you buy it from the wrong person who has childish behavior.
 
Congratulations on the win, but I would rather ask someone for a game that they have predicted for me to copy and make my own edition and wager with my own money on my own slip than to buy a game like this. There could only be a few reasons why your friend sold out this game: either he is so much in need of money or he doesn't trust the results of the last games, and instead of him cashing out, he rather decided to shift the risk to someone else.

Buying already staked bets would mean taking a double risk by half... That's not even advisable at all .... Gamblers don't even buy wagered games from people anymore: you could definitely be so sure of what you wagered yourself.
most sold games aren't possible multipliers; especially when the bettor is limited to some certain options in the game, thereby making you  accept his options with no other choice..
In your case, getting the game for such an amount is so wrong... The least I could get it for is exactly the amount wagered on the ticket

So have you ever taken such a risk on gambe before?

So far, I've only taken on reasonable risks and could risk a reasonable amount of money in order to avoid losing all of my money in my pocket in a situation where I lose. I know from personal experience that when I play a game of chance, luck is not always on my side and that sometimes I go crazy and regret my choices. I feel that if I make a decision quickly, I will likely lose the game. It could be that I'm fortunate to win, even if only temporarily, but when I play, it might be enjoyable at first, especially when I win, but ultimately I become tired of losing during the times when I gamble.
In my opinion, the ability to accept risk in the face of the potential financial loss associated with gambling is really what matters. You are brave enough to demonstrate to us how close you were to making the decision to take the risk, so that's amazing for you.

[tabas]

Congratulations, this is like hearing it for the first time with online bets although this did happened to me long time ago, like more than a decade ago. Yeah, I was still young by that time and such amounts have been big already to me so that's a risky move to me knowing that my money was just a few savings. On your end, you've got a source of income so if you consider this as your highest risk that you've taken. Then, I'd like to congratulate you again for being brave by doing that. I wouldn't do that if someone's going to offer it to me but most of us might deal with this again if we're in a circle of gamblers. At least with that, you know who you are dealing with and if you encounter some strangers ask you to buy their bets, don't do it if you don't know them.

[PX-Z]

This is the highest risk I have ever taken on gamble.  :)Why I called this the highest risk was because if the remaining 2 games lose I will be the loser and not my friend, so that risk was very terrible but I just have to take the risk because I already have in mind that you can not win if you do not risk. But to cut long story short, I win the bet, this was like sharing the money equally with my friend.
So have you ever taken such a risk on gambe before?

Congrats for the win. But i suggest only do it if you think that the money you are betting is you can afford to lose, it could be a huge problem if you experience the opposite.
So, yeah, huge win comes with huge risk, but don't do always, you will regret it.

I don’t very much agree that risk be taken in the way you did but, it’s not up to me yo decide and you already did make your evaluations based on, what was being offered for cash out and the games that were pending.

It takes great courage and some know how to take the risk that you took. I’m wondering though,
This seems like an online bet and not some actual paper printed or played bet in an outlet so, just how was this transfer of ownership done;
You had to wait until the game is all settled and then, your friend does process a withdrawal to your account or
You actually did exchange passwords or ownership of the account for the time being?

This could create real problems between you and your friend so, I don’t advise or encourage it but, if it’s good enough for you, then it’s really up to you.

[iv4n]

So have you ever taken such a risk on gambe before?

You bought a ticket that will bring you x2, and you only needed 2 more games to win and that's it. Both games were with low odds, so I don't think the risk was that big. Maybe the staked amount is big for you and it was the risky part for you? In my opinion "the high risk" is when someone is betting on some high odds and/or with huge money. Buying bonuses is a risky thing... especially if you are doing that on high volatility slots.

Anyway, congrats on the win and to your friend! It's not easy to make x177 parlay with 21 games, even if all games are with small odds. Awesome hit!

[komisariatku]

The highest odd that I have won before was over 8x. At that time I lost at the slot machines and felt frustrated so I turned to sports betting. I see a football match that had lasted approximately 70 minutes but the score was still 0-0. To be honest, I don't know the teams that are playing and maybe the away team is underdog at all so the odds are high. I was reckless to bet my entire remaining balance there, and unexpectedly I won. That was enough capital for me to back playing slot machines. Unfortunately all my balance was lost again

I never won on a parlay and never tried betting on a parlay again. Maybe my knowledge of sports is so poor that I have never won even on parlay

[EluguHcman]

A friend of mine sold her bet to me 20k Nigerian naira and I bought it because there was a cash-out on the bet, and the cash out was 20k Nigerian naira.
Besides, the games are 21 in total and 19 out of the games have entered so the games was remaining just 2 and that was why I bought the bet with a whole 20k Nigerian naira.

I smile over this guy that sold this game to you. It reminds me of when some investors needed urgent cash and would just have to sell their products on a cheap (auction) price to solve an immediate problem even know quite well the value was more than what it was sold.

As for you @ OP, that was extremely a high risk. You never even thought about what could prompt this guy before he could sell such game game.
Well.... Congrats but yet, it is still the same gambling game of luck so it is assumed that you were both lucky. Lol
Your guy gained and so you did gain too but no gonna be this way at always so, be careful.

[Z-tight]

I don't think i would buy a game from someone, no matter what the odds are, did you take over your friends betting account in order to claim the win, because like you said the game was initially played by your friend. If you took the risk and you say it worked for you, then it is fine. I stake my own games and wager what i think i can lose, i am such a responsible gamber and so i usually make the right decisions on when to gamble or not and how much i would put in it.

[uneng]

No, I'm not into this gambling's category of betting on multiple sports' events aiming higher multipliers in the end. I prefer simpler bets which don't depend on different factors for the final outcome of the bet. But for sports fans I believe it's exciting to bet like you do, taking big risks and following the matches in real time. You must love the adrenaline involved on it, and that is fine, since each gambler will have their own preferences of which category of bet they want to be engaged with.

That is the bright side of our current era, as there are alternatives inside gambling industry for every kinds of tastes and wishes. It's impossible for a gambler nowadays to say he is bothered by not having what to play, with so many different offers around, bombarding him all day long and calling his attention. You just have to be careful to not get hooked by such shining offers in a way they are leading you to take these big risks which may bring potential damage to your finances. Take big risks if you feel like it's being satisfacting for you, but at same time don't forget about playing responsively, what means you should never trespass your budget.

[ralle14]

Have you ever taken such a huge risk on gambling before?
Yesterday I experienced what I have never experienced before but I am very much happier because my risk wasn't in vain.

So have you ever taken such a risk on gambe before?

I'm glad that buying your friend's parlay paid off. In the eyes of others, the risk might not be as high because of the favored odds, but I understand that the last few legs between parlays are mostly the matches that would let us down. I've had some high-risk bets in the past, and they're usually single bets with increased stakes because parlays always give me false hope when they mostly fall short by one or two legs.

In terms of parlays, the highest decimal odds that I won was around 10.00, and I still can't forget this one back then only because of a promo.

[Hatchy]

So have you ever taken such a risk on gambe before?

Well, I will say that you are a risk taker though in life you take risk to make it. It's just that it wouldn't have been funny if you had lost the bet. The chances of winning was higher here compared to Winning since you just had 2 games left which probably might cut the game.

 Well,, I don't know if I can take such risk and for me it's too much for a game of luck. I take risk but most times I try to measure my chances and if i find that it's very low I just give up as not all game are meant to be won. You did well though as you managed to win the game but be careful next time too don't because of one win try another similar to this as you may end up losing.

[Fundamentals Of]

Highest risk just with 20,000 Nigerian naira? That's just around $14 right? I have risked so much bigger amounts in gambling, may it be in a casino or in sports betting. I have lost much bigger amounts.

The risky part of your story is the number of bets included in the parlay. That's 21 of them. That's way too many. But if we are to look at the amount of money risked, it's not really something. That's just around 10 cents. I can risk 10 cents on anything. That's not even called risk.

[mamesso]

Congrats for your victory. Have you ever imagined that luck is with you, the bet you bought from a friend with 2 games remaining is very high risk, just one mistake and you will lose. Risk has turned into victory and all worries of loss have changed with a happy ending. Your decision to buy the bet was due to your courage in taking the risk, maybe you will regret it if you refuse the offer when you find out the real facts. Victory is hope, you will never get that hope if you don't take risks. I've never taken a risk like that, but I wouldn't pass it up if the opportunity came my way.

[michellee]

I've never taken such a big risk. I'm not too brave to take big risks, so even if there is an offer to buy a bet from a friend, I will pass it up if the nominal amount is too big. But congratulations to you for winning it.

You can be happy because what you do can give you victory. Maybe your friend who sold the bet to you feels sorry for selling it to you. He should have restrained himself from selling it so that he could get the win.

I felt the risk might be too big so I didn't dare take the risk. Maybe after this win, you will look for other bets that you can buy

[Yaunfitda]

And this is the very definition of gambling, you take the risk, you don't know the outcome and it's by far a long shot if I'm not mistaken. But still you do take that jump, that leap of faith so that you can win no matter what the odds are. And I think I has seen others here who also loves that risk taking and more than kind of odds and prevail in the end. Same here, I do sometime take that, unfortunately I was so unlucky and not hitting that huge risk. So the biggest for me in a parlay if my memory serves me right is like 10x only. So congrats with your big win and you and your friend enjoy the winnings. But just remember that not every time you take that big risk, you are going to win though. Everything must be perfect that time for you to win and it might be hard to replicate it again and again. Just imagine though, lately there are a lot of parlays that has been destroyed by just one game lost in the NBA. So can go and see it in the thread as some are complaining how unlucky they are.

The price with which OP bought the bet from his friend wasn't really too big. It was not very small either, but it was also not too big. It was just bought at around $14. And since there were only two bets left for OP to win, the risk was much lower compared to when OP's friend opened it because there were 21 of them. OP's friend took a big risk with the multi-bet because of the big parlay combination but since he only bet a very small amount, it was not really a big risk.

Even if he sold the bet, he was already winning big. From just cents to $14. That's big enough win from a small bet. And OP also had his bet more than doubled. Win win for both of them.
