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

[mindrust]

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?

1- It was around $500.
2- Yes I lost it.
3- No. I wasn't ready for it. It was a dumb decision by me. I could have used that $500 for something more productive but that's the thing with gambling. I wouldn't have complained had I won the bet. Since I lost, now I can complain all I want. I wish I've done that, I wish I've done this.

Now I don't really bet big anymore. $100 at most and that's still a rare occurrence.

Stupid decision?
Didn't you think that $500 would be a bet between winning and losing it all?
Or something influences your mind to keep betting and not think about the risk of losing that will occur.

$500 is a large amount and can be capital to trade, but if it goes into gambling it is just small money, and it could just be $5k or even $0 like what happened to you.

In fact, you are now allocating $100, and I hope you can also accept losing it when the bet is not what you wanted.

I myself was never over $50, and I was indeed timid and did not dare to put a lot of money into gambling.
Just enjoy as entertainment and a little allocation that I use.

I'm not a big gambler, my average amount per bet is no more than $1 for casino games such as slot, plinko, keno, dice, etc.
For sports betting, my biggest bet was no more than $100 and I did it long time ago (Euro 2016 event) IIRC.
I did that bet because I won a contest by new sports betting site and I think I will not bet that much from my own pocket.
Luckily I won the bet (parlay bet) with odds 5x, so I made a good profit and I do not make more bets bigger than $50 in sports betting till now.

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.

I can only how difficult losing that amount of money in single bet must have been for you, especially when you played what appeared like a sure match. I have had terrible experiences taking high risk in matches that appeared to be sure but. What I have noticed is that those matches have this way of making us feel bad by failing to deliver. At some point such failures had made me to consider quitting gambling because I was thinking that if I could not win such a bet, then there was no hope of winning. It only takes a little while from the moment of the loss before one forgets and continue with gambling as if nothing happened.

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 worst experience is to gambling with an outrageous amount that can make someone feel terrible if it does not work out. I try not to be in such situations where I will have to invest huge money in gambling that I will not have peace within myself. I do not really like such situations and I do my best to avoid getting to that point.

The highest amount of money is too small for me to talk about it, I am already aware of the dangers that awaits every gamblers that plan to gamble, most times the money you take out of your pocket isn't coming back ever again, this is why I only risk small amount of money every time.

I've also won some money using small amount of money, and there is no other better feeling like it, I was always careful and I was able to still make some money, it's the best feeling to me, knowing that it's very hard to win a casino most of the time, I don't have the balls to start risking money as if its bitcoin investment.

Sometimes I feel like I have had enough, that's when I keep losing my small amounts many times over, I will erase gambling from my schedule for few weeks and I will try when I feel like I have missed gambling, I strongly believe that this should be the way to become a gambler, it's all about luck, always remember this.

1.)Around 100$ on single bet on NBA pick during finals. This is my highest amount of bet since I’m only using minimum bet when playing games like slots and table games. The only time I can bet huge amount is on sports betting if I knew the match well.

2.) I win the game. The odds on my bet is below 1.5 while I analyze carefully the match before I place the bet. I have high confidence on my bet that’s why I bet huge amount outside my normal bet size.

3.) 0.1-0.2$  . That’s the minimum bet on slot games which I’m comfortable to lose on a single bet.

Like I said, I don't wager $100 every time I play. It is a very rare event. Like 1 bet in every 30 bets maybe. (I usually do it when there is a big game like world cup finals or champions league finals) Normally my wagers are around $5-$10. I guess somehow I learned to control my greed.

When you think about it is not the amount that is important. It is the percentage that really matters. If $500 was 1% of my monthly income, then It wouldn't cause any problems.

Like you said gambling should stay as a form of entertainment only. The moment we think that we can get rich from it, it gets dangerous.

As for me, I don't actually gamble with real money, but I can definitely relate to the thrill of a close call. My biggest "bet" was probably staying up way too late debating philosophy with a bunch of chatbots – intense, but definitely not the kind of loss that keeps you up at night.

Winning on that first blackjack must have felt amazing, but then going all-in twice... But that would keep me tossing and turning. Chasing wins, especially when you're tired, is like driving a car with blindfolds on – not the best idea.

Remember, gambling should be fun, like a night out with friends, not a desperate search for treasure. Setting limits, knowing when to quit, and maybe even leaving your phone on silent when you're sleepy are all ways to keep it chill.

Back when Bitcoin was trading around $10k, I put down about 0.01 BTC on a sports bet.  At the time, it was equal to around $100 - not an insignificant amount for me.  Of course, I ended up losing it all and  looking back now with how much a single Bitcoin is worth, putting that much money down on a sports wager probably wasn't the sharpest move.  But I was okay with the potential loss at the time and don't really regret it.

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?

I'm just a small gambler, maybe my biggest bet at that time was around $50 and even then I got it from the free money given by the casino a few years ago and I rolled that money in the casino dice game with a multiplier of 1.98x until I got $100 then I bet all in sports betting matches and the final result was a draw, I lost that free money, but I never regretted it because I thought I could get free money again someday the most important thing was to feel a different adrenaline rush than I felt using my own personal money.

If asked whether I use money that is ready to be lost, of course it is certain because as I said I am not a rich person spending tens of dollars just for one bet because I prefer to bet smaller bets to extend the duration of the game, so I play with bets the smaller ones are just because the casino gives me free money, I will bet it all until I get 10x the amount of money I get then I will withdraw it, but in the end I experience defeat and lose that money, at least I have tried using bets that are bigger than usually. it will be a meaningful experience for me.

The highest amount of money I've bet in a single bet was also the highest sum of money I lost gambling... I was playing dice with the maximum winning chance allowed by the house, with low odds. It looked a perfect opportunity to make easy and safe profit, since I was already coming from a loss streak of two bets, so it was unlikely the next bet would also result in loss, therefore I put 0.1BTC on the line in order to recover previous losses and still guarantee some profit. However, for my surprise, I lost it all at once....

I felt shocked on the moment, and confused on what to do next. The only thing I knew is that I shouldn't spend anything else with gambling, even though I felt tempted into doing so in several moments after that in order to chase losses. Slowly, I assimilated the situation and told myself to recover this money someway else without risking my money on gambling.

Thankfully I still had funds to invest and recover my loss through passive income investment. I did it successfuly, so I consider myself free to gamble once again, although I'm still fearful due to this previous negative experience.

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?

In the past my maximum single bet was $450 but there I bet against relatively low odds and if I lost there I would lose big and even if I won my return would be small. Winning and losing in betting is uncertain but still a gambler strives to win. I gamble often and I understand very well that the money I will bet is unreliable. I can never be sure on gambling. I try to bet money that I can afford to lose. When I bet $450 I had a lot of questions because there was a fear of losing.

I really like your approach where you told that you put only 1$ in each bet and no more than that. This is really amazing as even if you lost the game or the bet, you will only lose a dollar. This will never make you feel depressed in case you lost the bet. However, some people may say that playing each game with one dollar will lower your chances of winning big amount from gambling but at the same time we should understand the risk of losing big part of our portfolio also decreases with this approach.

Back when Bitcoin was trading around $10k, I put down about 0.01 BTC on a sports bet.  At the time, it was equal to around $100 - not an insignificant amount for me.  Of course, I ended up losing it all and  looking back now with how much a single Bitcoin is worth, putting that much money down on a sports wager probably wasn't the sharpest move.  But I was okay with the potential loss at the time and don't really regret it.

Again, this amount vary from person to person as sometimes you can play with 100$ on a bet and that is fine if your portfolio is so big that losing a $100 will have no big impact on you. However, just as an example, if anyone has a 1000$ portfolio then it is not good for this to bet 10% of the total portfolio (that is 100$ in this case) on as single bet.

[danherbias07]

Wow! That's a big amount and sorry for your loss there.

About the questions.
$10+ in a Plinko game. It was actually not meant to happen but I made a mistake on counting zero and I think I am a bit dizzy on that day. I was using Bitcoin as a means of betting at that time and once I saw my graph moving drastically, I stopped the autobet feature quickly. I am a bit lucky that it didn't go to zero. More like an ROI only for 5 bets or maybe I lost some.

I was not ready to lose that kind of amount. Most of the time I am only betting $0.01 to $0.1 in Plinko and I let it run for a long time. It was just a mistake that luckily I was able to see before it wrecked my balance.
IMO, it's difficult to win against casino games even if you run it for a long time which is why I am just focusing on the wagered amount and maybe I can get back my money through rakeback, weekly bonus, and monthly bonus.
I am more focused on winning in sports betting even if the multipliers are low. That's where I actually put more money in the pot because the winning chance is higher than it is with is casino games.

That is truly a bit high for single bet specially when we are seeing the value of that bitcoin today? that is amounting to 500 dollars now in which I will never act for my whole gambling career.

My biggest bet was 30 dollars and yeah that is in Poker lol  , that day I was so desperately wanted to try if Luck is truly there for me but yeah It wasn't

I don't bet a lot anymore but I can still recall what's my highest bet is, it's back then when I was still a student and I bet on a PBA Finals, can't remember the name of the teams that are fighting although I do remember that it was the San Miguel Beermen that got the Philippine Cup which would be around like 2014 or 2015 I think. Back then I was saving for something that I can't recall now but I've bet like 15 or 20 USD on the Beermen and it did net me a really huge amount of money of win because my stupid classmate gave me an odds that's totally in their favor because he really thought that it's going to be Alaska which understandable as they're a powerhouse back then and wouldn't you know it, I got the win and it was a close one at that but they did it. Maybe it's not a lot for many of you but when I gamble, I make sure that I don't risk a lot of money as much as I can because I want to get as much value out of it as I can and that much money back then was worth a lot for a student like me.

[OceanBit]

Personally, I've never bet a large amount of money in a single game because I prefer to bet what I can afford to lose and to also practice responsible gambling. Well, it's understandable that some people are comfortable or likes to take bigger risks, and it's fine as long as it's done responsibly. And we should always keep in mind that gambling should be seen as a form of entertainment than seeing it as a way of making money.

I once bet $100 on dice, and that was quite a lot of money for me, in my country that's 2 weeks' wages, unfortunately I lost that money, I did it because of my own greed because when I bet $50 I won and tried with higher bets, that was my bitter experience, from that incident I never bet more than $1 in the game

Lolz 😂,
Needless say that your comment got me laughing really hard, owning to the fact that this same thing have also happened to me one several occasions where I bet a small amount of money and win,   bet a small amount of money and win again, I begin to get this feeling like it's possibly my lucky day, in the next bet, I go all in hoping to win again so that my bankroll will be doubled by 1x or even more, and just at that very round, I end up with an empty bankroll, makes my initial winnings look completely like it was a trap the casino set for me, to get me to bet everything so that they can take it all at once  , this mostly happens to me when I'm playing slot or casino games, have also experienced this a couple of times when I was actively playing on l0tt0 - one of the newest bitcoin casino on this forum.

Thanks for making me have a good laugh this evening though, it did lightened my mood.

That is what you see when gou want to over do somethings at times, knowing fully well avout the riak of gambling and hilow you have high possibility to lose all, you still think you win all because you believe is your luck day, this have happened to almost everyone most especially those who are yet to make up their mind to gamble along their lay down principle line.
I was once a victim of this kind of loses and when i did mine it was on a bet on sport game, just one pick and i slotted in almost $150 just to hit it big and at once, but I became unlucky and when the bet goes lost I felt very bad that I lost almost two months wages in my country's.
It took me a really long time to get over those feelings and since then, I vow never to gamble along the greed line again and I set a limit for everything since then sometimes it's like that, you win some and you lose some, and the bet that you will win you can never know neither will you know the one that you lose, so betting along the principle line becomes the best form of betting for anyone to practice to stay safe with your bankroll.

I think it's around $400-$500 but I'm playing with EOS and if I can remember, it was from EOSBet (Not sure if they still exist) and I'm playing BlackJack. I don't usually bet that high in a single bet but I think I just did in that moment because of my emotion as I started playing with only a $100 and now I have at least $2000 and I'm on the lose streak and what I did is that I use a martingale method to caught up with my losses or to recover it but lucky I won on that bet (because after that bet it will only leave me $50-$70).

After that game, I just realized that if I lose, that's really big amount of losses luckily I won.

[Strongkored]

It's also an amount of money I can't afford to lose so it's impossible for me to spend that amount of money on one bet unless it's the result of a previous win, and you're so brave as to bet money you can't afford to lose because there's no certainty of winning. In gambling, even betting at odds of 1.01, the chance of losing is still there, the risk is even greater than the profit you will get.

So, what about you?

As far as I remember, it was only tens of dollars for one bet and that wasn't often unless the previous bet made a profit so they were interested in betting bigger.
As far as I remember, it was also in the Qatar World Cup match and managed to win and the last one was the NBA bet and also managed to win but the results of the other bets were not good so the total profit was not big.
In one bet I will not bet more than tens of dollars but the total I can risk is not more than $200, but this is not from the deposit but the results from previous wins, this is my strategy because I don't want to lose much in the casino.
