From $30 free bet to $168

[naira]

Why havent you decided to make a small deposit and wait for hours or a day, to make your balance more than 0.001 BTC and withdraw ? You could have spend a dollar to pay with transaction, instead of risking $55. I think that in this kind of situation, it wasnt worth risking, or at least you would not have played all-in on roulette.

I also have the same story OP, from $50 to $200. Got a Euro prediction bonus a few days ago on Trustdice, the difference is that after winning $50 I played on 1 slot machine for almost 2 hours until I had to withdraw the winnings. However, because it was a bonus, I had to make a deposit first and meet the $1 wager. It wasn't a problem and I met the requirements and then withdrew my $200 winnings quite satisfied.

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.

Agree that when the position is quite ideal to continue, sometimes you forget to immediately withdraw because you are too comfortable with a balance that is still quite thick. Finally I was warned by a friend to immediately withdraw, if he wasn't there I might go too far playing until my balance went to zero. For me, this amount is not an amount that comes out of my pocket, so playing is quite free, even though I have to lose, there is no burden.

Well done.
As others have mentioned, you could've just deposited a small amount to make your balance above the minimum withdrawal limit (unless there was a wagering requirement involved as well). Lots of people tend to forget about that and often would just go straight into making rushed bets, which often backfires. Sure, you can say it was a free bet anyway, so no harm in taking more risk, and there's some truth to it, but I think the more sensible approach, for when the money is available for withdrawal, is to ask yourself if you would want to risk it if that money were in your wallet/bank account - if not, you should withdraw.

But congrats on your win and it's good that you didn't fall for the "it must be my lucky day" fallacy and knew when to stop.

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.

This is just one thing I have also noticed about gambling: when we think we are too careful with the game, trying to escape losing, we still somehow lose to the game, but when we less care if we win or lose, that's when we most likely get the opposite result. 
 
But it doesn't happen all the time if not one could have taken advantage of that to win the casino. 
 
Congratulations on the winning! Only a few people actually get something out of free gambling. You kept yourself under control until you reached your minimum withdrawal.

[rachael9385]

First of all, congratulations to you @Charles-Tim for winning such an amount with the $30 free bets that you received from sportbet prediction contest. First it's not easy to win a contest because there are other members that also did the context but you were lucky to win it. However, it's a nice hit there, if you were able to withdraw the $55 you wouldn't have been able to win the $168. Congratulations for your winning. It was your lucky day and it's good you weren't gambling with pressure, because gambling under pressure to increase your balance to a certain amount will put you under pressure.

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.

I’m used to high odds (more than 10), so the thesis that it’s difficult to win a bet with odds of 2 sounds strange to me. Make 20 blind (without any analytics or even knowing anything about what you’re betting on) bets on odds of 2 and without any effort you will win 8-9 (and if you are lucky, more) of them.
As for bets with low “reliable” odds, I don’t like them because in order to at least return the amount you are risking, you must make several bets in a row. It’s better to immediately choose a good outcome with odds of 2.0 or higher.

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.

Congratulations on your winning, there is so much excitement that comes with winning, yeah sometimes being over careful can lead to lossing game and some time too we win even when we least expected it, it is very  important as a saying by let the excitement of success be greater than the fear of lossing and that exactly what happened in your case, is your luck day. I love your confidence and how relaxed you were and that is how gambling is ought to be done , like free minded without panicking or worries, even when you are using your money that is not free but it must be the amount you can afford to loss.

[EarnOnVictor]

I'm just seeing this, congratulations on the bet! There is nothing that excites people more than free money, especially the one that you have very good luck with like this. Still, make sure that you do not spend the money anyhow since it started from free money, and people do not often appreciate that when it comes to its spending. I made that advice judging by the tone you used in the last bet that made you have the much nerve to play the last roulette that delivered the last luck to you.

No winning is worthless, money is money, so utilize it well. Better still, invest it again in what you know can continue to earn you more money with less risk.

[maydna]

Congratulation to @OP. He is luck that can wins that money. Not many of us can wins a lot of money from something free. He is also not greedy and chase the other wins instead to withdraw his winning. That is the real winning for him because he can wins the money and enjoy that.

No doubt that is his lucky days so he can wins. Perhaps he will not see his lucky days for a while but if he really lucky, he can wins in the other gambling games. But I suggest him not to return to the money and hopes can wins more money because that will not easy as he already won.

[CryptSafe]

So far my stay on this platform, this is the first time I am seeing a post of this nature if I am not mistaken. For the first time a member coming public to declare their winning with free giveaway on a Casino platform and was able to use it multiply to a bigger figure than the initial and was allowed to withdraw. I must say that luck shined on OP and I can comfortably say that OP played responsibly to have won those games he played.

I think for this OP has done, other members would follow same steps too as OP has set example here on this platform. It is very much commendable and I would say a very big congratulations to OP.

[Adbitco]

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$.

Well like I said before I will try to narrow how I go for odds most time when one pick fewer odds it makes it very easy to win just like what you did, the results of you winning is a case that you never go for much odd like to accumulate them as multiple games to have big cash out. This is what mostly makes gambler lose serious and yet not lesson has been learned from their past experiences, so if I were the one who hard this free bet believe I would had have this winning because I wouldn't mind pick many games where I would lose it all.

The certainty that you would replicate same result if you were the one given the freebet is somehow surprising to me because I don't know how and what way you want to use in achieving that, whether you are picking lots of games or fewer games there is still very high possibility that you might lose even if the game or option is very sure on your take of it. Some gamblers tend to go with lower odds selection and there by adding more games to make sure they accumulate tangible odd together.

[letteredhub]

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.

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.

My bad then if that's where the post is driving to away from what I initially thought. If that's the case, it's actually fundamental gamblers do gamble with an amount of money they can afford to lose, with that they can without any form of anxiety make good selection of games. Gambling with more than we can afford to lose doesn't only put us at high risk of losing our money but we as well risk our rest of mind (inner peace) and when this happens we no longer derive any form of fun or get entertained with gambling .

I have a friend that was supposed to win over 12 odds. All the matches was played and won but remaining just one which got the lowest odd of 1.01. He told he would win the match and did not cash out. But it was surprising that he lost the 1.01 odd bet and the parley was lost. The chance to win that match was very high and it will likely almost close to 100% but he lost it. No matter how certain someone is, a bet can still be lost. You are not wrong.

There's a simple lesson to learn about the world of betting. It should be the first one.

if an event is easy to predict, it is simply not quoted.

it is useless to believe that something is "safe" no it is not really safe there is always a certain risk. Nice win of our OP since he was able to maximize the bonus profit. that's the beauty of gambling, winning

That's usually what it looks like in most cases; it's not really what it seems to be. Mostimes, you could be intentional about it and it cuts perfectly. Whatever!!
Congratulations @Charles on your fortune... Where are we partying? ABJ? Lol.

There's nothing as displeasing as losing on a good bet to a very small odd that you could have avoided with ease... I've had several experiences - one of which is when a customer wagered on 1.59, 8.50, 14,and 19.70 odds on a single bet and everything came through except the 1.59 odd. He was lucky to have singled the ticket otherwise, he'd lose everything.

[Ojima-ojo]

Us your lucky day to have won that amount from a freebet more also that you did not allow your greed to get over you to bet more again after reaching your minimal withdrawal trencehold, so you did good in this round.

Although anyone could be lucky to win such an amount and games selection at least 1 out of every 5 bet on roulette or even football predictions will win same, but big congratulations to you Mr Charles.

Making multiple bets with same options is the best because at least one of the tickets will be for cash out while the other will be Left for the whole events to finish. It saddens me when people see opportunity to cash out their bets but due to greed of wanting to go home with every amount on the ticket most of the taimes leads to losing at last and regretting. If you have recorded winning no matter the amount it is better to cash it out than going home with nothing. Though those that actually gamble for fun don't care if they lose a bet when they refuse to cash out because they won't feel the effect of having opportunity to win some amount of money but lost it due to wanting to get all.

[ralle14]

I'm having a similar success with my recent free bet. It all started with a $10 worth of free bet last weekend, and then I went on a continuous profit run by following a few bettors with their picks until I quintupled my bankroll.

Sometimes it's unbelievable you can go that far with a free bet and a bit of good luck. Even though i'm late to the party, congrats to OP, hopefully our luck with these free bets doesn't stop. 

[Darker45]

Ironic but, yeah, sometimes it's indeed like this. I don't know, but why does it have to be like this? When you have money that you can easily afford to lose, and you have the confidence to risk it, and you feel that you won't regret it even if you lose, you will win. But if you are extra careful in choosing which to bet, and you cross your fingers and pray that you win, and you feel a little bit tense because you badly want to win, you lose.

It's not like this all the time, though. Congratulations, by the way!

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.

This is an important psychological moment. When we worry about something, there is a high probability of losing it. Therefore, in gambling, the main condition should be not to play with money that you cannot afford to lose. Otherwise, emotions will interfere with a person.
I have a similar story. I received about $20 for free, but to withdraw it I needed to have at least $100 in my account. I bet on the NBA game Philadelphia - Brooklyn that the score would be less than 199.5 points in total, in that game they scored 199 and I won. There was a coefficient of about 2.5 and I won, but this was not enough to withdraw money. Then I started making bets that were not winning and in the end I lost money and could not withdraw. But at some point I had 70+$ in my account with 20$
