How much are you willing to gamble

[LUCKMCFLY]

Everyone has different levels of needs to meet their living needs, so this allows them to have a budget that is ready to lose is also different. This also depends on the total income of each person, which will also greatly affect the amount of money they can spend on gambling. .

This is very true, because you can not compare a man who has a family where he has children and must answer for each one of the things, secondly you also have to consider that when there is a single man the expenses are focused on other things, in a normally single person the Expenses are for fun and basic things, then the income reaches for a lot, then only in these two particular cases the economic situation differs a lot for each one , for a person with a family getting a little money to spend is something difficult but it is possible, for a single person things are easier you can spend a little more , but you always have to be responsible when allocating or limiting your money at the casino.

Currently I am still single and I have a job, at first I didn't think about anything except what I needed and wanted. When I got my salary then I would fulfill what I wanted like gambling, when I first got to know gambling I was very obsessed with being able to get a big win in other words I always wanted to gamble sometimes to the point of spending all the salary I got from work. But over time I realized that gambling is not something that should be done continuously because it will only make us lose money. From here I started to reduce my desire to gamble and divide my finances evenly to pay the bills that are currently my own responsibility.

$10 per bet, never more than that

Actually, I think that the amount a person is willing to bet is something very personal... I don't say confidential, but rather something very different from one person to another.
$10 for you could be the price of a McDonald's sandwich every day, while for me it could be a whole month's salary to pay for groceries, housing, food and medicine.

Even within the same country, $100 could be the money a person tips a waiter when they serve him water, while for a street vendor it could be his income for the whole week.

I don't really understand the concept of your question, but I'll tell you that money is something very personal, so it doesn't make much sense for you to ask this question on a global forum, the answers you'll get will certainly be totally different from one another.

Well a French national just wagered $30 million to a bet about the US election... He did win and made profit but I was just so surprised with how can anyone bet this huge amount of money?

To be able to bet that amount you first have to have it, I don't know if it surprises you that there are billionaires in the world. Drake doesn't reach that much but he also usually bets millions from $0.5M to $2M.

In 2023 there were 43 billionaires in France, who could bet that amount without seeing their wealth affected, and without becoming a billionaire, someone who had for example $900M of wealth would not be affected much either, being 3.3%.

i doubt drake is playing with his own money, it's probably stake money. so, i wouldn't compare his bets to that one.

$30 million may seem small when compared to a net worth of $900 million, but i don't think they would have that kind of amount in personal cash to degen away gambling, unless most of it is in crypto.

I have seen various topics discussed in here about their bankrolls or budget and whatnot when gambling. Well a French national just wagered $30 million to a bet about the US election. Now the online platform is being reviewed by France and is being checked if they follow laws accordingly.

Such laws just push people towards Crypto gambling and it's not a solution if you as me!

But 30mil is a lot, if you can afford it then why not.

I am sure that amount shocked them especially after the gambler admitted that it was not even to sponsor Trump and that he did not have any political agenda with that bet.

I wonder how his bet would influence the election when his not even a US citizen 

He did win and made profit but I was just so surprised with how can anyone bet this huge amount of money?

More money, more problems and people's appetite grows with bigger pockets.

No matter how rich I get, I do not think I would be risking throwing away $30 million

Go big or go home, simple.

Like they say, you need money to make money...unless you are a Rich Day Poor Dad waiting to make an empire on debt

Honestly, I never thought about gambling with an amount that exceeds my ability, but maybe I could do it just for the purpose of experimenting and I would do it if I had more money that I was really ready to lose, for no other reason than if I was careless in betting an amount that I was not ready to lose, I was afraid that in the end I would be provoked by emotions and of course that is the beginning of gamblers experiencing mental and psychological problems.

On the other hand, usually the amount of my gambling allocation is around 5 - 8% of the total amount of income that I have and also usually my gambling time is once a week or once every two weeks on every weekend especially when I don't have any holiday events with my family. In conclusion, I think it's okay if you want to bet with an amount that is more than usual but make sure that you are really ready for the risk.

[Oluwa-btc]

Same. I would not bet such an amount too. Heck, I cannot even gain that kind of money maybe in my whole lifetime.

Anyway, you are right, punishing the platform is not the solution at all. What they need is to check every online casino and sports bookies if they are limiting the amount to bet from their gamblers. It's a lesson for them that they should also focus on the businesses that are running in their network. I mean, if that kind of amount could slide and be accepted by a gambling platform, there may be more who are doing the same but are just not sharing it, unlike the person in the article.

Nice,but any amount placed for gambling shouldn't be overemphasized and mentioned.Gambling is quite expensive because every gambler literally wants big wins,so the higher the  bet,the higher the wins and successes.Gambling is indeed a lesson filled adventure and experience to encounter all along;and Every gambler should have  little or no lesson learned from their activities.

I believe every gambler knows the limit they could reach in every strive to make money from betting. I don't like doing too much that's why it is good we all gamble what we can afford to lose, not trying to mimic other gamblers that are gamblers with huge amounts of money we might not even know their worth. Every gambler should know there limit so they don't keep losing over and over again due to the attempt to make huge amounts of money from gambling. There are gamblers that have the money and like to intimate other gamblers in doing what their strength can not handle. Since we don't have the same wealth capacity, it is good we gamble based on what we can afford.

Many gamblers have realized that, we shouldn't gamble more than our capacity.

But the opposite keeps on happening even with a lot of reminders from everybody. Realization comes when there's no money left in the pocket and that's how to understand that we shouldn't gamble more than what we're willing lose.

No matter how rich I get, I do not think I would be risking throwing away $30 million. I am also sure that the French authorities are making moves after this ridiculous amount of money betted to prevent encouraging their citizens from following in the gambler's footsteps. But I think instead of punishing the platform, the government should focus on how can they 'control' their citizens' gambling habits. Focusing on one platform will not eradicate people who would continue to bet this huge amount of money.

Honestly, this was really a huge sum of money this gambler played with, which shows that he may have this money in excess for him to have been able to afford to gamble a whooping $30million on a single bet, predicting  who is likely to win the just concluded US Presidential Election, and I'm happy he actually won his bet, as I'm sure these are the kinds of people casino usually limit their earning potential, due to their high risk ability to risk everything.  Because though we have seen celebrities, in the likes of Drake wager a million dollar. This is indeed the  highest wagered amount I have come across.

If I’m not mistaken, this is the total amount bet on Polymarket. And since it’s a decentralized prediction market, there’s no limit on how much you can wager.

Most casino has minimum and maximum deposit amount, I guess there are some unlimited ones I don't know of. I wonder what such person would be thinking that could make him bet such a huge amount on something that depends on fundamental factors in real life. It was a huge risk I would say and to me wasn't necessary. Though I guess he won as Trump already is the president of the United States. He probably just wanted to prove a point of for the fun of it as someone with such huge amounts won't mind risking a lot just to prove himself right..

Totally depends on someones financial capability on how you do gamble because if you do find yourself having that kind of balance on which basing up on how much you do earn then you will really be betting on which accordance into that. You will really be that definitely be using up that amount but of course everything should really be in moderation because on the time or moment that you do find yourself
having some excessive amount in terms of spending up money with gambling then you are really that bound on messing up your life with. Be careful on what you are really that dealing into because
everything which is really that excessive is something which is really that hard to get out once you do find yourself that getting addicted.

With the minimum and maximum deposit amount, it is better they use the minimum deposit amount to prevents the big lose. Besides that, they will not have to use big money just to playing gambling. If they want to use big money to win the games, that will not always happen as they want because gambling will not gives the win easily. They must remember that playing gambling is just for fun so they don't have to risk big money to gambling. Playing gambling will be personal decision and no one can force him to use big or small money so it is better we use small money to gambling and we will not face a big risk of losing the money.

So far I only dare to bet as much as I have financial ability, because if we force to bet with a large amount of money and beyond our means, of course it will trigger a greater risk, I am not surprised if there is someone who does dare to bet 30 million for Trump victory, considering the political situation that is indeed inclined to support Trump to win at this time, in addition, maybe those who bet millions are of course rich people who do have a lot of money, but if we bet that big and lose, of course will make us be tramps , but regardless, I think those who bet 30 million for Trump's victory will be able to enjoy the results now after the big decision he made.

This bet is getting so much attention because the amount is huge, you are right to mention Drake, who bets millions, this is an indication of how a wealthy person can act, but I have never heard of him betting millions. So in this case, the bet could have been made on the 30th for the reason that he could have known how the election would end, I don't know if that is possible. I would also like to know when he made this bet, on election day or earlier, because that could also be significant.

You've said it well, to buttress your points, many factors have to be considered here, one needs to look at the financial capability of the two classes, even at that, they may have the same financial capability, what about their responsibilities? Some people have more financial burdens that they need to take care of monthly, if not daily, such people, if responsible, will not be carelessly squandering money on gambling like the people who have little or no responsibility other than to take care of themselves even as they earn well. Another factor to consider is our risk affinity, we have an appetite for risk than each other even if all things become equal.

Have you forgotten the results doesn't always come out positive? What about the loses, the higher the stakes is still equivalent to bigger losses and possible bankruptcy for weaker hands. I think gambling should be approached with a more balanced mindset of equal possibilities of wins and loses, such would help gamblers to be moderate in their gambling activities. The guy in question is possibly a whale to comfortably stake with such an amount, congratulations to him.

Honestly, this was really a huge sum of money this gambler played with, which shows that he may have this money in excess for him to have been able to afford to gamble a whooping $30million on a single bet, predicting  who is likely to win the just concluded US Presidential Election, and I'm happy he actually won his bet, as I'm sure these are the kinds of people casino usually limit their earning potential, due to their high risk ability to risk everything.  Because though we have seen celebrities, in the likes of Drake wager a million dollar. This is indeed the  highest wagered amount I have come across.

This bet is getting so much attention because the amount is huge, you are right to mention Drake, who bets millions, this is an indication of how a wealthy person can act, but I have never heard of him betting millions.

Did you just said you haven't heard of Drake betting millions on a single bet? Because those who are familiar with the entire scenario surrounding 2022 World Cup will know that Drake made a bet of $1million in favour of Argentina to win 2022 World Cup which was played against France and ended up losing it after France won the game, which was not also the first time Drake is seen gambling huge sum of money and losing it too. As this shows how much the rich and wealthy are willing to gamble with on their favorite game, just as the man in this story. So this is an image of it below 👇

 

I would also like to know when he made this bet, on election day or earlier, because that could also be significant.

It's obvious the bet could have been made either a week or two before the US Presidential election, as that was the time due to the massive support Trump was having at campaigns, many people knew he had a greater chance of winning. And the last time I checked, Trump was having a winning odd of around 3 to 5, which means that man who wagered $30million, could probably had won $90million.

Many gamblers have realized that, we shouldn't gamble more than our capacity.

But the opposite keeps on happening even with a lot of reminders from everybody. Realization comes when there's no money left in the pocket and that's how to understand that we shouldn't gamble more than what we're willing lose.

Hmm yes as the saying goes that saying is always much easier than doing, remembering something is always much easier after you regret it, as you said that even though we often hear about the saying gamble with an amount that we can afford to lose but often this is forgotten when someone already has money, all of that happens because of the urge of curiosity and the inability to accept defeat in the past, basically in any case, awareness always comes at the end when everything is gone, regret will always be a definite possibility, meaning this is about whether you are able to learn from experience or not.
