Ballsy move to bet money you already had in the bag. I know it's technically free money, but it's still your own money and i am not sure if i had risked it, maybe 5% of it, but i am not as brave as you.
You deserve all that, so enjoy. I am a little bit jealous i didn't bet my $80 that i won without putting any money in. Not jealous of your winnings, but the fact you hat guts to do that, no matter if you win or not. I feel like i have to learn from your example and take more risks next time. It's free money after all, and all play money until we cash out.
Topic: From $30 free bet to $168 - page 3. (Read 751 times)
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.
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.
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.
Massive congratulations on that one, and kudos to you too cause you literally pushed for more just so you can withdraw, and took it out the minute you got what you want. That's some nerves of steel if I've ever witnessed one lol. Most of us here wouldn't even bat an eye and think that they are on a lucky streak, so they'd push for more until they lose it all and they don't have a single dime to withdraw, but you really took your word at heart and made sure you get it straight.

Guys, Charles-Tim is what you really should emulate if you're a casual gambler who plays with low bets. You wanna get your mind off of winning more than what you really need, and be more disciplined. Set limits upon yourself and respect those limitations so you don't end up losing money. But if you're more into losing all your shit instead of having something to take home at the end of the day, then by all means waste it all and splurge until not a single cent remains lol.
Congratulations on this legacy mate, that's impressive to see you winning such amount but I wanted to clarify that this winning was really destined to happen for just a feee bet. However, please take this piece of advice that this shouldn't be the reason why other players would hope to have on their own thing. Since the scenario is more like a reward game, not everyone could have this opportunity I guess. Good thing that you've enjoyed the winning profit you had with, unlike other people who won certain amount that wouldn't stop playing until they lose the money eventually.
You have come across a lucky day. It is not a huge amount of money, but as a result, you have been able to increase your money more than 5 times. Considering the free bet you won before, I think you can make yourself feel better, as if you are going through lucky days. May your luck always be this good, congratulations again.
Generally, when you don't care about the bets, you can get really good results. Of course, it's all a factor of luck.

You're doing really well mate and thats a nice return on just a free bet. To be honest some time ago I also had the same opportunity because I got a free bet of 0.50 mBtc but i was too subjective when betting because I bet on some teams competing in the Copa America and Euro aggressively which made my free bet just disappear 
I was not as lucky as you in this case but indeed this can be a condition that I think is quite good for experience because in the end I initially thought that the free bet was just a sideline for betting from the deposit I made so I didn't care too much about it but in fact there was still a regret when I didn't get a win because my free bet was just forfeited even though it was a very good opportunity that didn't come every time .

Why don’t you use a VPN to avoid access problems? Even if your region is prohibited in the casino itself, then as long as you have not passed the KYC you can use it without any problems. And even if you win a good amount, you will be able to withdraw it because for the casino it is still a small amount and if you have not committed any other violations, then you will not be asked to go through the KYC.
That's not a good suggestion, withdrawing small amount money doesn't mean the casino will not ask you to verify your account. Even you assume it's just a free money and you don't mind to lose it, I'd believe you will regret with that you doing when you spend time and effort from claiming the free bet till you gamble to meet the minimum withdrawal requirement.I've done this many times and have never completed the KYC yet. I don’t understand why you doubt, VPN is a real solution to the problem.
- I didn't know that what you are saying, mate, is that it is possible to use a VPN in crypto gambling even without submitting a KYC. Isn't it forbidden to use a VPN in most of the casinos in this field of the crypto space? Have you done or tried to use a VPN because your country is restricted in a casino where you want to play gambling?
Because I have other casinos that I would like to play at, that's why my country is restricted on that gambling platform, so I can't play gambling on that platform. Even though I think of VPN, that's why I also think that it's prohibited in any gambling casino.

Formally, VPNs are prohibited in many places, but in reality I have never experienced any problems from casinos when using VPNs. The casino only cares that you don’t come from a country where they are prohibited, that’s all.
By the way, in my country a huge part of the Internet is banned, so I’m used to not caring about restrictions and acting as it’s convenient for me, and not as I’m “allowed.”
All games are risky. I could have lost it also while gambling with roulette. Also I might have won the money if I chose other games. Only how I can know is if I have also won in other games.
I had forgotten that had asked this question. I kept saying to myself, I'd get back to know your reply but I guess I must haven't carried away by something else. I must commend you for giving an apt reply. It tells me one thing that you are very experienced in gambling/sports betting. Logically you are right- the only way to know if you'd win the same amount is if you won in another game. And winning on another game involves luck, skill, the fairness of the game. 
Love to see it when someone builds up a sport bet. It's a different approach and thought process everyone has but ofc even with sports betting there's a certain amount of luck involved. For instance here with the op, in every step of the process he could have lost his initial and more but he had been playing on matches he said he was careful with.
Of course to win makes it feel worth it but it was a calculated risk. Even if he had lost it all it would have been for money he got for free. So I would say while it's not generally advisable to put all the money down on a bet, it's ok in this instance. So good on op for the luck and cash out

It seems that it's always been the case that whenever you don't care with your bet and money, the time of winning is coming.
But if you care so much to the point that you don't really wanna lose it all, the opposite comes. I don't know if this is the real mantra there but it happens to every gambler.
And with that free money that you've won from the prediction contest, you're able to grow it and that's the amazing part. Congratulations to your win Charles, I am sure it's a tough one but you made it.

I feel the feeling the OP shared about that story, because I myself have gone through this when we are not too busy worrying about winning/losing money, we can have a comfortable mentality before all betting games. and it seems like a shield to help us win better.
But anyway, it will stop when the performance is changed and faced with a loss
, but here let's be happy because we know the reasonable stopping point, I think OP is the one in control good feelings.

It can be very frustrating for some gamblers to discover that their casino of choice has a very high minimum withdrawal like that, some gamblers can even make mistakes on the process of trying to increase their balance to be able to reach the minimum withdrawal and at some point, the gambler can even lose all the money but in your case, you took your time and still made it to $168, it's really something to say congratulations for, for the fact that it was a free bet.
Congratulations to you. You took a risk that ended up favouring you with your free bet. That's why it is said that gambling is risk for winning or losing and one must be the outcome. Sometimes, that attempt with free bet ends up bad unlike you who is lucky to have won with it.
Gambling is risky because there is a chance to lose and it is a bit high but once we overcome it, this is where we can reap its benefits although during the process there are still some benefits there and that is we are having a thrill or even a fun experience. In some games, it is possible to have a draw outcome but even if not, we can also experience to be breakeven. Not only sometimes but most of the times, free bets always end up bad. OP is only lucky that time for his free bet to turn out something great. Again, the withdrawal limit also, you might have been feeling bad if you didn't win with the trier
That is for sure. Even me, I've been screwed by this a lot of times and the feeling is ridiculously bad because man, I really thought I'm already very lucky on sizing up that tiny free bet earlier. 
is that it is possible to use a VPN in crypto gambling even without submitting a KYC. Isn't it forbidden to use a VPN in most of the casinos in this field of the crypto space?
When we talk about the possibility of using a VPN to make a bet from a restricted area, many people do that and succeed in setting a bet and even withdrawing the profit. However, if VPNs are against the casinos rules and you get catches, required to submit your documents, then you are in a bad situation especially if you made a significant deposit, the casino will restrict you from withdrawing, ban your account and will no longer be accepted on creating a new account.
The best option when your region is prohibited in a casino or sportsbook, you have multiple choices to save you from risking your money by breaking rules. Nowadays, we have a lot of casinos and most of them are covering the whole world, accepting different cryptocurrencies.
Well, free bets are indeed very profitable because I also always maximize them when I get them in the past in other platform. But for now, I personally have very rarely participated with such predictions, because one of the reasons also that makes me not interested is because of the region that may not be allowed to access the site. But even so, I only use other platforms that are still easy to access and I just make deposits and bet as usual. But yes, congratulations for your win which was basically a challenge to reach the minimum withdrawal, so you kept betting and it was actually very good and more than expected. Congratulations once again.

Congratulations Charles-Tim. Your luck has worked well. However, winning at sportsbet requires a good knowledge of sports. also have this skill that makes you such a fantastic win. Meanwhile, sportsbet.io is a very friendly site, so here you can bet without hesitation using your predictions. There is no chance of being cheated here. Winning such an amount from a free bet is really a pleasure because both the bet win and the free money can be enjoyed together. congratulations again mate..
Of course betting in sportsbet requires knowledge of football, there is not just pressing the button to get a position, if you don't have strong knowledge and instincts in choosing a team when competing it is likely that you will not get a win, and it also cannot be separated from luck where he continues the game and meets the minimum withdrawal at sportsbet. Of course Sportsbets is a site that has been here for a long time, they always hold interesting events about soccer matches on the forum, of course it is very trusted and I myself also do not doubt their solid team on this forum, which continues to support the development of Sportsbet, I also congratulate Charles-Tim.
I think it is necessary to follow their free event in case you get the same luck afterwards.
$168 is a big winning for small gamblers and it is rare for us to wins that much money. Maybe some people can wins that much money, especially if they use a big bet so they will have a chance to big wins. But they don't have a big chance and only a small chance to wins that big wins because gambling can makes them lose. I am glad you can withdraw your wins money so you can enjoy that wins money with your family. I hope you can use that wins money for your life and you don't have to playing gambling for a while instead to take a break after your big wins.
From a 30$ initial bankroll, I doubt many can achieve this even the big time gambler since we are talking about x5+ profit here with a limited bankroll which you can bust your bankroll with just one lose bet.
I manage to turn 20$ to 100$ but it took me a lot of tries before I can achieved it on dice game. This kind of achievement is very rare since it requires extreme luck and courage in able to rollover your all bankroll in one bet until he reach that profit. What a solid profit.
This is the beauty of money that came from freebet, You can bet it no string attached without any hesitation since you have nothing to lose. This is the reason why it’s much easy to win when you are using free money rather than your own bankroll.
I fully agree with that perspective. That's how I approach my free bets too, but unlike the OP, I'm not as successful. Maybe it's because I'm too ambitious, always choosing bigger odds by placing multiple bets or parlays. I'm not as patient with managing my free bets compared to how I manage my bankroll, so my chances of growing it are slim.
Anyway, @OP, congratulations, you did well especially when you decided to cash it out at the right time.

Congratulations Charles to your wonderful journey for your freebet reward. I suggest that you should cashout the money immediately since you might be tempted to play again due to the happiness you get from your successful run!

Congrats buddy. You are lucky wins that much money. Not many of us can wins much money from free bet. Most of us lose after winning the free bet but you have your lucky and gives you the big wins.

Congratulations. More than a x5 isn’t easy to do, especially with a free bet. The real question is how much of that actually made it back to you though. It can be tempting to try and keep the streak going or to try and replicate your luck again in the future. If this is a good amount of money for you, take it and run!
😏😏Taught no one would ask this question, I know that he withdrew the 168$ but there is still a clause on that withdrawal and that's the urge to try and keep up the winning streak even after the withdrawal because it's something that almost all gamblers do and believe when I say all not even the so called professional can resist this feeling sometimes.
