From $30 free bet to $168

[alani123]

Love to see it when someone builds up a sport bet. It's a different approach and thought process everyone has but ofc even with sports betting there's a certain amount of luck involved. For instance here with the op, in every step of the process he could have lost his initial and more but he had been playing on matches he said he was careful with.

Of course to win makes it feel worth it but it was a calculated risk. Even if he had lost it all it would have been for money he got for free. So I would say while it's not generally advisable to put all the money down on a bet, it's ok in this instance. So good on op for the luck and cash out

All games are risky. I could have lost it also while gambling with roulette. Also I might have won the money if I chose other games. Only how I can know is if I have also won in other games.

I had forgotten that had asked this question. I kept saying to myself, I'd get back to know your reply but I guess I must haven't carried away by something else. I must commend you for giving an apt reply. It tells me one thing that you are very experienced in gambling/sports betting. Logically you are right- the only way to know if you'd win the same amount is if you won in another game. And winning on another game involves luck, skill, the fairness of the game.

Why don’t you use a VPN to avoid access problems? Even if your region is prohibited in the casino itself, then as long as you have not passed the KYC you can use it without any problems. And even if you win a good amount, you will be able to withdraw it because for the casino it is still a small amount and if you have not committed any other violations, then you will not be asked to go through the KYC.

That's not a good suggestion, withdrawing small amount money doesn't mean the casino will not ask you to verify your account. Even you assume it's just a free money and you don't mind to lose it, I'd believe you will regret with that you doing when you spend time and effort from claiming the free bet till you gamble to meet the minimum withdrawal requirement.

I've done this many times and have never completed the KYC yet. I don’t understand why you doubt, VPN is a real solution to the problem.

         -    I didn't know that what you are saying, mate, is that it is possible to use a VPN in crypto gambling even without submitting a KYC. Isn't it forbidden to use a VPN in most of the casinos in this field of the crypto space? Have you done or tried to use a VPN because your country is restricted in a casino where you want to play gambling?

Because I have other casinos that I would like to play at, that's why my country is restricted on that gambling platform, so I can't play gambling on that platform. Even though I think of VPN, that's why I also think that it's prohibited in any gambling casino.

Formally, VPNs are prohibited in many places, but in reality I have never experienced any problems from casinos when using VPNs. The casino only cares that you don’t come from a country where they are prohibited, that’s all.
By the way, in my country a huge part of the Internet is banned, so I’m used to not caring about restrictions and acting as it’s convenient for me, and not as I’m “allowed.”

You're doing really well mate and thats a nice return on just a free bet.  To be honest some time ago I also had the same opportunity because I got a free bet of 0.50 mBtc but i was too subjective when betting because I bet on some teams competing in the Copa America and Euro aggressively which made my free bet just disappear

I was not as lucky as you in this case but indeed this can be a condition that I think is quite good for experience because in the end I initially thought that the free bet was just a sideline for betting from the deposit I made so I didn't care too much about it but in fact there was still a regret when I didn't get a win because my free bet was just forfeited even though it was a very good opportunity that didn't come every time .

[SUPERSAIAN]

You have come across a lucky day. It is not a huge amount of money, but as a result, you have been able to increase your money more than 5 times. Considering the free bet you won before, I think you can make yourself feel better, as if you are going through lucky days. May your luck always be this good, congratulations again.

Generally, when you don't care about the bets, you can get really good results. Of course, it's all a factor of luck.

[AliMan]

Congratulations on this legacy mate, that's impressive to see you winning such amount but I wanted to clarify that this winning was really destined to happen for just a feee bet. However, please take this piece of advice that this shouldn't be the reason why other players would hope to have on their own thing. Since the scenario is more like a reward game, not everyone could have this opportunity I guess. Good thing that you've enjoyed the winning profit you had with, unlike other people who won certain amount that wouldn't stop playing until they lose the money eventually.

I won $30 free bet on Sportsbet prediction contest. I used it to gamble and won over $55.




I wanted to withdraw it but the minimum withdrawal is 0.001 BTC while I had 0.000905 BTC. I went at ones for roulette with almost all the money and I won $168.34.



It was a free bet. So I do not that care about it but I went for nice matches which I have high chance to win but loss is still highly possible. I could lose with casinos games but I won the single pick when I was playing roulette.

If I am very careful and I do not want to lose the money, I would have likely lost the money. But when I do not that care I won it. Thanks to jeremypwr and Sportsbet for the free bet.

Massive congratulations on that one, and kudos to you too cause you literally pushed for more just so you can withdraw, and took it out the minute you got what you want. That's some nerves of steel if I've ever witnessed one lol. Most of us here wouldn't even bat an eye and think that they are on a lucky streak, so they'd push for more until they lose it all and they don't have a single dime to withdraw, but you really took your word at heart and made sure you get it straight.

Guys, Charles-Tim is what you really should emulate if you're a casual gambler who plays with low bets. You wanna get your mind off of winning more than what you really need, and be more disciplined. Set limits upon yourself and respect those limitations so you don't end up losing money. But if you're more into losing all your shit instead of having something to take home at the end of the day, then by all means waste it all and splurge until not a single cent remains lol.

Ballsy move to bet money you already had in the bag. I know it's technically free money, but it's still your own money and i am not sure if i had risked it, maybe 5% of it, but i am not as brave as you.
You deserve all that, so enjoy. I am a little bit jealous i didn't bet my $80 that i won without putting any money in. Not jealous of your winnings, but the fact you hat guts to do that, no matter if you win or not. I feel like i have to learn from your example and take more risks next time. It's free money after all, and all play money until we cash out.

I don't agree Charles, for it was luck nothing but luck that you had. There are gamblers that would have had it same way as you did by not being careful about their bet and still lost it. You could have still acted with some carefulness and still won, when it's your lucky day everything you play just go in your favour with or without much efforts. I will prefer to at all times exercise some carefulness with making my bets than acting with less or no care.
 Congratulations on your win!

What my post is indirectly about is that we should gamble or bet with the amount of money that we can afford to lose to make us have a better decision in selecting matches and games. The more we think of not to lose it, this can make us think the way we supposed not to think and the thinking may not favour. The more also we think to not lose, this is directly related to using high amount of money to gamble.

This is what I call a "lucky break".
It usually comes when we least expect it and in your case this was probably only possible because you played with money that you could certainly lose (it was free). This takes away our fear of wanting to control our bets too much, favoring higher winnings and rapid multiplication.
But... at the same time it potentially increases the risks.

Congratulations on your bet and victory.

I had a similar experience on freebitco.in... after a long time offline I realized that I had won a small amount from some referrals, I multiplied this amount about 10 times, some on roulette and others on ticket prizes.
But unfortunately I lost everything in an all-in bet.

That’s really nice! Having to convert these freebet to what you did convert it to without having to care very much. From what you said, it doesn’t mean you didn’t take calculated risk though, you didn’t risk it all on any almost impossible choice but, you went for what is feasible to you though, a little reckless on the stake but, these were likely bets you thought you could win. There terms stirred you into the right direction maybe. Hope you’ve been able to withdraw at last.

See your luck already shine and you also played responsible not most people who would go pickup several and multiple games to bet and at the end it would result to losing all.
What I am beginning to understand about gambling is that the lesser you go for a single bet the more higher you get lucky to win. However, Charles-Tim congratulations on your bet from 30$ free bet to 168$.

[TopT3ns]

A pretty good bet, not many people have succeeded in making that much profit at a gambling place in such an easy way. Seeing what you do in the gambling place makes many people want to do the same thing as you do and hope that we all have the opportunity to make a profit like what happened to you. My advice is that you should be able to withdraw the profits you have earned and do not place bets on the account you are currently using, there is a possibility that it has been marked by the developer of the gambling place to be monitored and as much as possible to prevent losses and lose the profits that have been obtained.

[ethereumhunter]

From a 30$ initial bankroll, I doubt many can achieve this even the big time gambler since we are talking about x5+ profit here with a limited bankroll which you can bust your bankroll with just one lose bet.

I manage to turn 20$ to 100$ but it took me a lot of tries before I can achieved it on dice game. This kind of achievement is very rare since it requires extreme luck and courage in able to rollover your all bankroll in one bet until he reach that profit. What a solid profit.

Not many gambler can increases their bankroll in a short time so he is one of the lucky guy that can do that. He can loses all of his money but what happens to him is not for other people who doesn't have a big luck. But he doesn't have to keeps playing gambling tomorrow because he must takes a break for a while after his big wins.

Some people can turns their small money in a big wins but they try for many times before they can wins much money. Some people are lucky enough to wins that much money but we can't follows what they do because we have different luck and we can't forces ourselves to spends more money. That's why when we playing gambling, we must always be careful and not trying to use much money because we will have a big chance to lose all of the money we have.

Trade with caution. This account was advertising suspicious activity about gambling before.

This is not true, in fact, single bets with, for example, odds of 20 are much more profitable than multi-bet bets with the same odds. The fact is that the bookmaker's margin (or casino advantage) is taken from each outcome. Thus, if the bookmaker’s margin is 5%, then with a single bet you will lose 5%, and with a multi-bet consisting of 4 outcomes you will lose 1-0.95⁴=~19%
Ideally, you should make only single bets, but I myself also mostly make multi-bet bets since it is difficult to find a profitable and large single odds.

I found Adbitco  to be true in football which is the one that I bet mostly on. I do not know about other sports but I know their risks would be similar to how football odds are. I do not know much about your calculations but I am posting with my experience. Any odds that is getting higher than 2 is difficult to win in sport betting. Single odd of 4 or 5 makes the chance of winning to reduce. Having a single match of 20 odds will only result to trying and losing. But a won bet is still more very possible with parley if analytically selected. In sport, I have gone for single or two matches in a way that I will use all to bet again, I won 35 odd. I still see that as accumulation although it can not be totally regarded as accumulation. I prefer small odd but not too small odd and it gives more chance of winning. But it is worth knowing that I can not go more than 5 to 6 odd in parley.

Congratulations on this win of yours and I'd say you are very lucky to do so. Not everyone experienced winning on free bets and you even managed to multiply it to aa bigger amount. However, I won't agree with the idea that if you do not care on your bet, it would result to a win streak or with higher chances of winning. You are just lucky on that moment which is the only thing that could explain I guess. With regards on not minding that much of the betting outcome, you're just not pressured that you don't notice everything unlike with when you are betting big amounts which make things seem easy. Regardless if you have your attention on your bets or not, you would either win or lose depending on your luck. There's nothing to sense ourselves whether we are focused or not, on gambling provider's perspective for it to be a factor of our winning chances.

[Julien_Olynpic]

You can congratulate the topic starter on a good win, but I would like to ask about the next steps. But I assume that he will act no less risky in subsequent bets. And many repeat wins are rare. If the author does not stop in time and does not withdraw the winnings, then most likely he will lose his money. Of course, this is not a lot of money, but losing it would still be unpleasant. This is why I advise you to stop making risky bets and simply withdraw your profits. If you try to play the free bet again, you will most likely fail.
