What is your biggest gamble/risk of 2024 so far?

[Wapfika]

what is the biggest gamble you have made so far in this 2024, irrespective of the event, scenario or category?
Or what is the biggest financial risk you have had to commit to at some point in this year because you believe it will be rewarding in the end?

I don’t experience serious risk this year since I already learned last year by risking 1800$ on a dangerous high roller bet on blackjack. Luckily, I manage to end up on a little profit despite the risky betting activity that I made.

After that high risk play, I never involved on a high risk betting or even consider deposit huge amount to gamble just to chase my loss. I always consider my loss as is without thinking for recovery to avoid greediness that lead to more risk.

It always isn't as easy to take a chance at something or simply put; to place a bet on the outcome of matches or games and other events and still expect a reasonable return, mostly when we know we used a greater percentage, if not all of our capital to place a bet or take a chance at that newly launched casino project or a newly launched innovation, technology, coin, initiative and hope that it would turn out to be as profitable and rewarding in the end.

Although we can dabble into reasonable and even unreasonable projects, still, one can gamble on the future which involves a human(s) we sponsor and then we pray, as well as hope that their success will be as profitable in the end as we had hope for.

So, my question is one that requires deep thinking and reflection before replying and it is this;

My biggest gamble was betting on the BetBoom team in the Dota 2 cyber world championship, which is called the International. I believed in this team when they played the first match in the main grid. The thing is that I knew that they can beat the first couple of opponents in every championship, but they can never go further.
Therefore, this will be a small, but so far the only gamble this year.

Nevertheless, I must admit that I was quite afraid that I would lose this money on this bet.

I use for around $30-$40 so far at once but I don't get a nice results as I lose for $15 for that bet. Perhaps I don't have luck like others so I lose my money. But I still gambling and start reducing my money because I don't want to get the big lost again like before. I don't mind to lose that money because that is the money I can afford to lose and I will not add more money to continue gambling because that will makes me lost more money. We can lose too big money so we must prevent that before we regret it.

In direct response to your question, the greatest risk I took in a gambling setting was my purchase of Notcoin when it was booming, expecting it to continue pumping in that fashion. Truth be told, I so much believed in that project that I acquired almost $500 worth of the coin. Shortly it started depreciating and so far it has reduced to less than 2/5 of my capital. I felt bad actually, but somehow, I'm optimistic that during the bull run, the coin would still pump and possibly I can get my gains or at least my capital back.

Nothing changes in my routine of gambling in casinos. As usual, I play gambling just for fun. Win or lose is really no problem for me. The important thing is that I enjoy gambling here in the cryptocurrency business field.

I also have a limited amount of money for gambling, and I don't go beyond that because, of course, this is my self-discipline as a gambler in the crypto space, to be honest.
And I don't want to be like other gamblers who loss big amount due to they don't practice limitation in terms of amount to gamble in any casino.

My own biggest financial risk that i took was in the recent match between Inter vs City. I bet with  a big amount that I don't want to mention that the first half will be a draw, because I know that City will not be able to score in the first half and will not allow that because they are all fresh legs.

I won the bet and I was happy that I followed my instinct, but the funny thing was that City couldn't score any goal till the match was over.

I play Blackjack most of the time and I have almost all kinds of experience in Blackjack.  I have lost a lot from here as well as profited a lot.  And this is where I took the biggest risk in my gambling.  So I can't give examples of other games here.  I always play the live blackjack game where the driller serves the cards on live video.  I took a lot of risk here considering it a realistic game.  Because no machine or algorithm was needed here. Everything was visible. So here it was possible to verify luck legally

Someone asked me a similar question although not this year and I don’t think I have spent such big amount gambling this year or taking the risk which I think is good for our health. For those who have been in such position and everyone who has risked their money to gamble will testify, gambling risk comes with fear and if not well planned some might face shock etc. My biggest risk was using my savings for gambling and I never get to earn the benefit due to lose, it’s very hard for anyone to lose their savings because of bet but, lessons learnt and I have never tried such move again. I’m still trying to control and maintain my gambling habit that’s the reason I have not taken any risky move in 2024.

Probably gambling ~%1 of my monthly income in once. Given how the economy is these days, i consider even that as a unnecessary and risky move.

But, i am sort of gambling with my life this year and forward as well, because i am getting a completely new education in a new completely different and unfamiliar field. So i am basically starting my life over again and i feel like it's happening without safety net. That's risky if i happen to suck at that job, and i don't have any clue if i am going to succeed.

Now that's my biggest gamble since investing badly.

[Pandorak]

My biggest gamble of 2024 so far is betting on Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig, it was last night. I think it was so risky, because i almost lost of my monthly saving that night, but fortunately i won it. Even the worst thing happened in that match, because i took a bet Atletico Madrid as the winner, but in the first round RB Liepzig made a goal 0 - 1, and  thought won't win it but the final results was 2-1 for the match. So that's my biggest risk, i never take such that big risk before, but i think i'm in luck.

We gamble with our future by doing what we did today. If we do a good thing and good work, we can expect to get a good result in the future and vice versa. When we decide to gamble with anything, we must make sure to accepts the outcomes.

The outcomes will not always as we wants but can be a bad for us such as losing our money in gambling. But if we realizes that when we use money to gambling, losing the money is the risk that we will get. I risk some money to gambling by buying some coins and hope that coin will give me a profit.

If what I did could not give me the profit, I try to accept because that is the risks that I can afford. I can't risk more than I can afford so I am trying to search for how to manage the risk.

Every new casino that has a token is not an instant success and those who have been active in such activities for a long time already know it well. It takes a lot of time for a new casino to reach the level of success that the successful casinos we know today.
The risk that will be taken in doing so is not the potential for huge profits by risking all the money but the potential for losing everything that is bet.

In gambling, there have been times when I have taken very challenging risks and I have done it at certain moments such as in the final match of a football match. Well, that was the biggest bet with the highest risk I have ever taken and I loved it.

My biggest financial risk is buying an expensive dog for breeding without any prior experience but guts and belief that with the numerous YouTube videos out there I can do it. Unfortunately the prices of dog food and everything thing related to her care tripled. I also gave up but I kept pushing on. In my first year the dog littered two pups only and guess what they both died after 3 weeks and four weeks apart. Still I haven't given up it is a risk , a huge gamble and part of the process. This isn't gambling related per day but this is gambling knowing that the odds are against me.

Taking risks is scary but often needed for growing and succeeding.  This year, one big financial risk I took was investing in a new business with a friend.  We had this idea but not much experience actually running a business and  it could easily fail but we were excited about it and thought it had potential.   

We decided to just go for it and start the company.  Its been tough with things always feeling risky, but its a risk we think is worth it for the chance to build our own thing.  I mean, you gotta risk big to win big as they say.  Still putting your money and time into something with no guarantee it will pan out is pretty terrifying.  But how else do you make your dreams reality.

Congratulations to your win.
But I think it is too risky to risk your monthly savings on gamble, there is no fun in gamble while you loss huge money. Well, maybe that's what you can afford to risk since you did not tell us the specific amount you staked on Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig yesterday. However, I watched the match and it was tough because at first half the game was a drew but at second half of the match there was another goal from Gimenez (ATM)  during 90 minutes.

Gambling to some of us is a way of life and regardless of what our expectations could be from any bets or whatever we aim at getting profits from in form of a trading position or gambling, if it happens that we failed to reach that expectations we shouldn't be outerly disappointed and we should learn from our mistakes and work towards more success, but above all, we shouldn't be risking more than the amount we can afford to lose at a time.


I understand the pain that comes from losing, but we always aimed at having the fun and only risking the amount we can afford to let go, I have made some level of mistakes in the past that for this moment I am no longer going to repeat same mistake again, since we lose to learnt a d we win to celebrate, we should be ready to welcome both outcome.

[bangjoe]

The highest amount of money that I used to bet this year is $30. I can afford to lose it and I went for it. Also I used it on parley with three matches which has been my highest because I prefer to go for a single match or parley that has only two matches.

If you also mean other areas, I do not think I go for any big risks. I know to do something moderately is better and that has been what I followed.

Your amount is not much different from mine because I only dare to spend only as much as $40 the biggest of the year in one bet, yes you are right we should not be too excessive in gambling, but spend money according to what we have held in the principle of gambling responsibly, spending money that is ready to lose it is a great achievement if we remain consistent in applying it.

Instead of being impulsive it will only end badly in gambling, except for other things in life, such as betting on school spending a lot of money and time and hoping that after graduating you can have extensive knowledge and experience to live a much better life.

[vs2014]

My biggest problem and mistake in my life is gambling at home to protect my privacy because there is nothing wrong with it because i can gamble anytime. If i spend more time outside the house then i am less active in gambling that day because i don't like hearing bad things from people. I lost a lot of money this month because i bet a lot. The main reason for this is that i get a monthly salary from my workplace but no money is paid at home due to which i wasted all the money on gambling. I bet a few times and lost, I couldn't stay. Because every time i thought i would win this bet.

[salad daging]

Betting or risking during 2024 - I don't have a bad record in terms of risking a lot of money, because I always do it with caution and other considerations.

Now it's more disciplined to at most deposit $20 for gambling games after that betting and for me this is not a big risk.
It's just that there are regrets where I played my favorite slot and won up to $400 but because of curiosity to continue playing, I finally lost the money again because I continued to play without thinking about withdrawing.

So that's the regret.

This wont really be related to gambling but rather into private sale investment and meme coin investment.
I have placed up so much money on this one but so far im still on -VE considering that market conditions become shit
and several of the projects on where i had invested turns out to be shit and some of them becomes scam.
Im having a hard time to cope up on what i have lost.

Or what is the biggest financial risk you have had to commit to at some point in this year because you believe it will be rewarding in the end?

Bitcoin, ETH and SOL.
Im not really that trying out to waste too much of my coins in doing gambling but casually i do make some gambling sessions
for the sake of leisure and entiertament but not totally spending up like a madman. I do always go for future benefit or long-term profits
on which everyone is surely that eyeing into.
