Well, I personally think whether that style of play will be worth it or not, completely depends on how lucky the gambler is, for example, I have played plinko on stake with $10, and I was able to get over a thousand dollars in total wager with just the $10, and the reason was simple, I was winning making some good Xs on some of the balls, while not really good for other balls, but in essence, I played the game for a very long time; to my satisfaction actually, I got over a thousand dollars in total wager before I decided to try playing other games with my balance, I moved to slot and there, I lost my entire balance under 20 minutes.
So, getting up to $10 million in total wager with an initial deposit of $10,000 and spending $100 per ball on plinko is very possible, but it's only for the high rollers, and whether its worth it by the end of the day, solely depends on luck.
It is great to know you wagered 1000$ while you had only 10$ but at the final race, you lost all of your funds. So, it is the same point of view that if we invest like 10000$ then we might have to lose all these 10000$ while we will try to make the wager. But I think there might be any way which I have no idea by which way they are making the higher wager.
