What is the highest amount of money you've ever bet in a single game?

[crwth]

The highest amount of money that I bet on a single game is only around $200, I have bet on a sure thing and managed to not lose the money I have risked. Then thankful that I did win because I might go crazy because that's not the amount of money I'm willing to lose. It's just a spur of the moment that I wanted to just try that kind of amount. Not very comfortable if I lose it.

So, what about you?

One thing I've noticed is that gamblers do not always follow the rules of gambling and investments strictly which state that we should gamble with only the amounts of money we can afford to lose. I am one of the advocates of such reasonable advice, but I am however guilty of it because I do not often apply such especially when the match is crucial and the winning team is obvious, and also with reasonable odds.

Just like the last Champions League match between Manchester City and Inter Milan, to be honest, my mind of over 90% chance that Man City would win was unwavering. So, I put aside the good advice and I wagered based on my instinct, even though it would hurt me if I lost that money.

To buttress this, below are my answers to your questions:

1. My highest amount betted on gambling was about $250 judging by the exchange rate conversion at the time I made the bet.

2. Yes, I won the bet. I earned slightly more than the double of the money I wagered.

3. Heck no, I would cry if I lost that money...lol. I only followed my instinct and risk affinity at that time. This is about the 4th time I would do such a thing and I am happy to say that I won all my big risks. It's also worth saying that they are all in football betting.

1. What is the highest amount of money you've bet on a single game in the past?

The largest amount I bet at one time in gambling was $150. Yes, I know that this is a little bit like it will turn out to be for many forums, but for me it was quite a lot of money. I was a student and put them on black in the black-red game.

2. Did you win or lose that game?

Unfortunately, it turned out red and I lose those 150 dollars, and somehow I remembered it for the rest of my life.
Although I still always bet on black.

3. Was it an amount you were actually ready to comfortably lose?

In fact, I couldn’t bet this amount, since then I had to save for half the month, but I think everyone who was at least a little interested in gambling had similar situations. Now I think it would be better to play poker or roulette. Or maybe it would be better if I made a sports bet.

1. What is the highest amount of money you've bet on a single game in the past?

I think less than $100 throughout my gambling history.

2. Did you win or lose that game?

Yeah I lost that game right away that is why the next time I gamble I become very cautious in placing my bets. That was my biggest regret to be honest.

3. Was it an amount you were actually ready to comfortably lose?

No, I just feel very cocky that time or has this feeling of being lucky but the opposite has happened and I got a chill that time I don't know what to do and adrenaline and disappointment is very intense. It took me I think a month for me to move on since I always think of the money I just wasted because to be honest I cannot afford to lose that money but what done is done.

[moneystery]

i once bet 100 usd on one football match. that was the biggest bet i've ever made to date. honestly, when i gambled, i was very confident that i could double my money, but unfortunately i lost the money because the team i bet on lost a match they should have won. since then i no longer want to bet that much money on one match because it's quite a lot of money in my opinion.

Hi guys, I don't know if something like this have been discussed here in the past, a thread a I previously commented on made me curious about this, so I decided to ask here.

It's a pretty forward and simple question, which is...
1. What is the highest amount of money you've bet on a single game in the past?
2. Did you win or lose that game?
3. Was it an amount you were actually ready to comfortably lose?

On sports betting $200-$300, when it comes to slots bonus buys I had some buys over $500. I had some crazy bets on in-house games as well, but who can recall all of them... a few days ago I bought a No Limit Mental bonus for $400. I won $15 in 13 spins. So many of those big bets were a total disaster, but I had some great hits. Gambling life is full of ups and downs.

Nobody likes to lose, but when we decide to deposit some money and gamble with it we need to be ready to lose it. That's why we need to deposit only money we are ready to lose, in gambling things can go in the wrong way in seconds.

In recent time I have staked $25 once and yet I lost. and I have never spend that kind of money before on gambling and it made me feel so angry that I thought I would have used the money to settle some bills which could have been important to me, than spending it on gambling. That is how Gamblers always feel when they lost the game. But if they win they think of not staking higher than that.

[Mrbluntzy]

I gamble with any amount that am just able to afford at the moment of my gambling. If I want to use $10 to gamble and I want to bet on two games, I can just decide to gamble with $5 for each of the game and I might end up to lose the money. Anytime I have less money, then I can decide to stake a small amount of $0.5 on each game so that I can just win small amount too.

Indeed. Gamblers can be devastated not just by the loss of money, but also by the missed opportunity to use that money for something else. So it's not just about the cash loss, but also about the emotional and psychological consequences of losing that money. It's as if you're losing not only the money, but also the opportunity to do something else with it.
I believe this is a frequent experience among gamblers all over the world.

. Nigeria lost the game 2-1, after taking the lead on the first half, the Ivorians did a welcome back and scored two goals in the second half.

3. I cannot afford to lose such amount, but over confidence made me to do that, which made me stopped gambling for two weeks, as a result of my actions.

So many people had placed huge bets on that match hoping that Nigeria would come out victorious. Like we all had similar plans and no one had planned for a back up net just Incase Nigeria had lost of which they eventually did. I myself had placed a bet of over 200$ and my odds lol they messed up my game. I was already crying when at second half they equalized the match. I just switched off my TV and went to bed because from the very start of the !watch I had saw the way Ivory Coast were playing and to me they had more shots on target compared to Nigeria eagles. I guess next time we have such matches. So many Nigerians won't be so confident to place huge Amount on one team.
I have other bets I have placed huge amounts but most times it's better from experience I would advise anyone to split their games just in case to avoid losses that are inevitable.

My own answer
To the first question, the highest amount of money I've bet on a single game was around $3000, I bet this amount On a sport match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia in 2022 world cup tournament.

To the second question, unfortunately, the game did not win, so I lose this money unfortunately, was a very bitter experience for me.

To the third question, of course this amount was money I was never ready to lose, but over confidence in Argentina to beat Saudi Arabia made me bet it in the game, but somehow, Saudi Arabia managed to beat Argentina, and this was how I lost that money, till date, this remains the highest amount of money Ive bet bet in a single game, and unfortunately, I lost it.

So, what about you?

The highest amount I've bet was probably only $50 on a single event - a horse race. This was after earning a bunch of cash by taking advantage of welcome bonuses at many websites and seeing a promotion for horse racing. After only doing football betting before that, the odds available on horse racing seemed huge in comparison and enticed me in. However the bet failed and taught me that horse racing betting is highly risky and I didn't have a clue how to do it properly. It was definitely one of those painful memories that established that I prefer not to lose money on sports betting and now I keep bets much smaller, it means that the wins will be much smaller but it's purely for entertainment anyway.

[sompitonov]

The biggest bet for me was a very long time ago, it was about 10 years ago, and I decided to bet my entire deposit because I wanted to win back what I lost. The funny thing is that it was on roulette and I played according to the Martin-Gail strategy, lol (there’s probably still something good in it, but that’s not for sure). So, after several unsuccessful bets in a row, I decided to do it and bet $600, which was crazy money for me at that time. My hands were shaking and my head could explode from overexertion and anxiety, it was a huge range of all feelings, cold sweat broke out. But it was good that I managed to win, after that I didn’t do anything like that. I didn't want to walk on the knife's edge anymore. But now I know, not from hearsay, what it is, and I only sympathize with those who want to repeat such experiences again.

[bakasabo]

I think my biggest amount of money I have ever bet was around a thousand (why around - because it was in BTC and by the time they got into my account, it was ~980 already) in crypto, and 30 EUR in fiat. I can say that placing a 30 EUR bet was much easier than $1k. Even with a 1.05 odd, I was very nervous when I have bet $1k. It was a football match and I have placed on last minutes. Then the ref added extra time and I felt really uncomfortable, even when the match ended and I have won and waited for amount to be added to my balance. Those 15-20minutes of stress were enough to stop placing such large bets once and for all.

I could remember betting $50 on slots and I lost it all, normally I always go lower but that day I just increase the wager, which was a bad move, I could have use the fifty dollars to go few rounds but I lost the money, the following week I went back to my old self, using $20 and spinning as lower as I can.

Betting can be a total disaster for you if you don't know what you are doing in the side of maintaining your bankroll, you must be very careful about what you are risking, if you are already doubting then you are about to risk what you can't afford to lose, don't try to confuse yourself that you are wrong.

I've accepted that in gambling, you will always lose more and gain less, you just have to keep moving on with the cheapest amount you can, until your lucky day is around the corner, no gambler likes to lose money, think about what will unfold if the money is gone before even placing a bet.

I remember this has been discussed before, but this issue has always really gotten a lot of people's attention.
Answering question from OP,

1. I don't remember the exact number but it was about $1000 for the bet at that time.
2. I won, and recovered a profit of nearly $1500.
3. It was a sports bet, I was really ready to lose that money, but I remember the feeling at that time that winning was more in my mind than the thought of losing money.

Yep, being ready for every situation is really important. With gambling, nothing is really certain, as the amount of money played can be lost, which brings a comfortable mood, and also helps us stay alert to make decisions.

Gambling works like an addiction for me. Although we know that gambling addiction is harmful, sometimes we indulge in it too much.
  The last time I bet was on the 2023 Cricket World Cup, which was the 13th edition of an international cricket competition. The match was held on November 19, 2023, between Australia and India in the final. I placed my maximum bet of $200 on the game. The match was very exciting, and finally, luckily, I won my bet as Australia won and took the World Cup.
   It was my life, although Australia was playing great, but the game was a breathtaking match for me, as I was never ready to lose my money. I was risking a lot, and finally, thank God, I was winning.

Usually I don't like to bet large on a single game, I would rather bet 5 times smaller amounts than one big bet. For me the risk seems to high to put all my money in one single bet. When I was younger I didn't have such strict rules about sports betting and was placing bigger wages. I think my biggest bet was 100 euros back in university when I didn't have a lot of money. It was a quite unrisky bet which I won, but the payout was only 10 Euros. Losing that bet wouldn't have been terrible, but still hurt me a lot. I probably would have to stay at home for three weeks and not eat outside or have a few beers.

Yesterday's World Cup in Qatar 2022, has made me brave enough to make the decision to bet at some point on sports betting sites, especially those that have football tournament betting, they have braved me with a nominal bet of $2000 which is the highest I have ever made yesterday at four crypto casino points and distributed 4 sites at $500 each, I won on three sports betting sites and one lost, because I placed a betting position on France, I still believe in Messi against Argentina yesterday, it was proven that Argentina won the penalty shootout.

2. Did you win or lose that game?

As I explained above.

3. Was it an amount you were actually ready to comfortably lose?

Of course it's a bitter decision if you lose, I was lucky not to bet $2000 at one point, so I had to let go of one bet being lost, three coming back to me.

[Jody.Drummer]

I'm not too deep into sports betting as well as some other types of gambling, I'm one of those gamblers who can be said to be less active in gambling activities, and I will only gamble when I really want to do it and when I have free time, but I remember the highest amount I've ever allocated to gambling is $15 on a type of slot game that has been quite busy in my area lately and I'm like you OP in which there is absolutely no good result in the sense that I lost that amount in 1 hour.

On the other hand I was quite surprised to see that people here lost such a large amount I think like you did, because for myself I always put no more than $5 in each bet and therefore I would say that $15 is the highest amount I have ever allocated, and losing is a frustrating situation because as I said I usually bet relatively small amounts, because risk management is more important to me.

- I remember betting $2,000 in a single game on Satoshimines.
- I lost the game within a minute. I was not in control and let my emotions take over. I bet all $2000 in a single reckless bet, hoping to get lucky and win.
- I wasn't comfortable losing the amount I did, but my emotions got the best of me, and I regret it now that I lost the money in the game. It only took less than a minute to lose it all.
