Topic: $90,000 all in bet - page 6. (Read 782 times)

Yeah, it didn't end well for the bet in the end and this was a case of over confidence in the league, teams and goal market. Its a huge lose indeed, haven't gotten over 22x turn over of your original stake and still wanted more by going all in to double it.
I think the best thing to have been done would have been to withdraw a portion of it as an insurance. This is gambling after all and in gambling, the unexpected could easily turn out to be the reality of things and this is one of those situation.
OP came quite close but, there is no such thing as coming quite close in gambling. You either win or you lose.
Am sure there is many more where that came from so, you can look forward to the next one.

I don't mean to remind you of your regrets, but only as a reminder not to be too greedy in placing bets. you might in a week manage to win in a row from $ 4000 to $ 90k but remember gambling there are always wins and losses that should be yours but all just disappear.
I understand your emotional situation when you are overconfident, but I hope this serves as a lesson for you.

I see you lost your bet, but I'm curious why you needed to YOLO the balance? Why wouldn't you take what you had already made and start betting with some sense? 90k balance you could try to make smarter bets with less risk and lower odds. Maybe try and find a system where you make a few bucks daily and live the rest of your life without many worries.

I agree with that, sometimes high confidence actually traps us into losses and this is where we have to be good at controlling ourselves. Going all in with the previous benefits is not a wise idea, why not try 1/2 or even 1/3 of our total money? and in my opinion it is a wiser decision than having to spend money in 1 bet.
You are right that in gambling you don't always talk about courage, there are many factors that must be considered rather than just putting forward courage. I understand that, because maybe when we decide to do all of this it means we are ready to risk losing, but once again we have to think carefully about doing that.

Wow, this is such a massive bet. I'm in awe that you were able to turn  $4000 dollar into $90000. That should have taken a lot of effort and luck in your end.

This is such an inspiration to some people who want to turn their small fund into big one. However, we should always be reminded that not everyone has the same skillset and favor of luck on their side, hence, we must not be envious of one's victory. Just because they achieved it, doesn't mean you could too especially in gambling. I'm saying this not to weaken your motivation or to discourage you, but to making you see the possible consequences if ever you will stake such huge amount to test your luck in winning big. Since in gambling there's no sure win, you can just hope for the best. Hopefully this amount is what you can afford to lose, so if ever things go wrong, you will not regret and sulk over it for a long time.

You have lost the bet, right ?

Oh my god, what have you done? Lost a 90,000$ in a single bet. You first turned 4000$ into 90,000$ which was a big achievement but then what makes you think that you can win every bet and go all in  

This is one of the most stupid things to do in gambling, that is going all in. You have just ruined your winnings. I understand that you may have got overconfident, by your winnings, but does this mean that you will always win all the bets? Does it mean that you will never lose any money in gambling?

If you were too confident, you could have gone with 4000$ but going in a bet with 90K, is not the right thing for any sensible person. I would call you a gambling addict and you need to consult a phycologist otherwise you may keep on taking these insane decisions in your life and end up losing everything.

I do hope that you have a lot of money and this loss does not matter to you, but if I was at your place, and lost 90K, i would have done suicide by now. This is a life changing money for many people which you just throw away in the bet.


What is the guarantee that he will again convert 4000$ in a big amount? He might have been lucky the first time but may never be so lucky ever again. Such incidents in life do not come often and I am afraid he has done the biggest mistake in his life by throwing away 90K in a bet. If he again makes 100K and throws it away, then what can i say 

He is going back to drawing board to turn another 4k to 100k and then he will go ahead and blow the 100k. I don't see vision and purpose in his system of gambling. No matter how rich he is, it hurts the way he is approaching gambling. I know too well that it Hurst Op more than he made it look here.
This type of gambling life will not give Op some peace of mind. After winning 90k, he should have restarted his strategy with almost 10k and use the 80k to take care of life and his wellbeing.

the thread title even seemed to be more of a rare success story if OP had taken the profit and had withdrawn everything and stopped playing for good, yes I said stopped playing for good, why did I make that suggestion? because in gambling there is no such thing as infinite luck or someone who is invincible or someone who has constant profits, as long as the person keeps playing he will lose and he will not leave with money, this is something that all people need to know when they join us gambling, the op did not take this into account, turning 4000$ into 90,000$ does not make anyone invincible, it does not make a person someone who will not lose money in the gambling

so OP in addition to all those things i mentioned that he didn't take into account, he made another big mistake (assuming his story is true): never put your entire bankroll on a single bet, there are no 100% safe bets, even in a game where the odd is at @ 1.01 for the favorite, still close, the favorite can lose the game and all people who bet on the favorite will lose money. obviously OP after that defeat didn't post again because it must be hard to accept that he lost everything after so much sacrifice and only lost because he got greedy and overconfident. anyway what could be a beautiful success story became a sad story like many

I'm sorry to read about these bets because it's one of the first rules of gambling - what not to do.
even if you feel "confident" never bet "ALL IN" in one bet (and by the way with a fairly high odds).

it's not a matter of "bravery". here you play to win, to make a profit, there is no point in being "brave".

No offense to the OP but that is a big bet and if you have followed the betting history of the OP, yeah there are times that he won big, but majority is also a big lost for him.

Nevertheless, this could be a lessons for us, or just simply don't be greedy and just enjoy the winnings and maybe just live another day to bet and continue with your gambling activity. And this is what gambling is all about, you win some, you lose some.

For sure he can live with that and try his luck on the next game.

Aiming for big wins is not a problem even though in practice it sounds crazy to some people, especially when betting large amounts at once. As for some gamblers here, in general, there are ways to minimize losses or just want to enjoy games with a longer duration.
It all depends on the typical gambler and their bankroll's ability to take the risk.

A true gambler must have thought about the risk of losing when he decided to go all-in all his money; not many can do it. But going all-in is not recommended, especially since it is a lot of money he can use for his life.

He has chosen his bet and we hope he can accept whatever the outcome is and not be disappointed if the bet is lost because that can happen in gambling. He can make money again from gambling but must remember that he cannot always win every game.

So hopefully, he can take some of his wins, celebrate, and take a little break to decompress.

Sorry to see that you lost your 90k USD bet. What an insane profit you managed to achieve before though coming from only 4k USD. How long did it take you to get up to 90k and does this happen regularly? I would expect you placed a combi bet with a lot of legs to get such a big payout, or did you just bet many times in a row? So far I haven't been as lucky as you to reach such profits, but I am also a bit more risk averse and try to bet on higher odds. Just one more question, why didn't you split out your 90k bet? To me it seems a bit too risky to bet so much money on one single bet. Wouldn't it be better to pick 3-4 different bets all with similar odds to spread out the risk? Hope you are going to recover soon.

such a waste, but hey, it's your money I just hope you can afford to lose that money and would not affect you mentally, losing that amount can be traumatizing(at least for me). good luck on your future bets!

There are only few cases of those gambling that will boldly comes out to share their better experience with gambling especially when they win than when they are loosing or had a serious challenge with the gambling platform they are using, because people are fond of complaining too much even on little issues that doesn't worth it, i will say this concerning your winning that it's a big and wonderful privilege, you must have also been gambling over time without having this kind of result over a long time or ever, atleast we still have those winning despite the losses.

That is a dangerous type of courage,I lost all by raising the bet on slot machines yesterday night and I played for several hours.I was grinding for that x35000 multiplier which no one has won it yet in the slot I played.The type of courage that OP showed is great but when you lose money it turns away all the enthusiasm of winnings and draws you into a big aura of sadness,no one should say otherwise even those people who accept lost amounts and are not sore losers.
I wish OP good luck in his further endeavors and let us know when he hits it big so we can get some of that enthusiasm back.

I admire the courage OP has. I would say he is a true gambler, not afraid to take risks and understands that losing is part of the game. You've gone too far, but your last attempt failed. Well, as you mentioned, it's back to the drawing board again. I'm sure you'll grow that money again, given that you have the skills of a true gambler. Keep grinding, mate.

Lol, the case of the OP is often seen in poker in the players we call recreational or fish. They sit down to play, have extraordinary luck, win a lot and instead of being aware that they are winning despite playing badly by pure luck, a lot of luck that night, what they believe is that they are on a roll and go up a level. They go to a table where the blinds, and therefore the stakes, are bigger. There they usually lose everything they have won, but if by chance the streak continues and they win, they do the same thing again and go up a level again, without being aware that what is happening to them has a minuscule probability and that it will continue happening to them is even more minuscule in each subsequent hand.

OP did not post his feeling about his losses, many will consider this a huge loss but we never know if he's been doing this and how he addresses his losses, all he posted is that he is back in the drawing board so he's not going to stop betting huge amount.
Every gambler has his own limit and I guess OP has a high limit on his betting, this is a risky behavior in the eyes of many, but if you analyze OP's post it's ok for him no regret whatsoever, if it happens to me I would take a whole month off from betting.

Lol, you are right buddy, no one guarantees a win at every sports bet, even with Odda 1.01 you can still lose because no one can really predict the results correctly.
Maybe with confidence, gamblers can be more confident and dare to take risks, but if the final result is a draw, they will cry because they have lost large amounts of money.
I often do this kind of thing and at every bet the winning percentage can be 70% to 80% but when a large amount of money comes in the winning percentage disappears and the game ends in a draw.

It's better to bet responsibly and be able to prioritize caution than having to take big risks by risking money that can disappear in an instant.
