I also don't think I'll be able to make it due to potential Visa issues and scheduling  :-/
Here's my story:

A about a month ago, for Super Bowl LIV, a sportsbook that I was playing on offered an early payout if your team was up 15+ points at any time. I really wanted to pick a side because of the immense value, but didn't end up liking either side (I was leaning on Chiefs, but oh well).

Half jokingly, I placed bets on 1st half Draw, HT/FT Draw/Draw and Yes to Overtime. The first half ended 10-10:


Definitely my largest win in terms of odds; I usually bet stuff around 1.1-2.5 odds. Was a nice surprise that my half-meme bet won  
Sadly Chiefs won 31-20 FT so I didn't win my 101 odds HT/FT Draw/Draw or my 16 odds Yes OT, but can't complain about ~0.9BTC profit  

Despite preferring betting on sports then (football mostly), my favorite story would come from a Dog Race betting (There was a local outlet I usually visit to watch the dog racing and see people bet on them, and I had a note book which I record the odds, name of Dogs and the eventual outcome, all with the hope that some day, the bet same race would repeat and I will bet big on the triple, double (as we call it) or quinella which means predicting the exact 3 dogs to finish 1st, 2nd and/or 3rd in the specific order for triple/double or in any order for quinella. After several days of writing jotting the races outcomes, I never saw anything similar to what I had written and the it came to an extent that I don't even get enough time to got through everything I had written down before yje race would commence so I just kept skipping each race, I got fed up and ditched the jotter.

About 3days after I ditched my jotter, I placed a bet on triple and I won some money after few races went by, I placed another bet a tripple again with higher odds this time and I couldn't believe it when I won, I can't remember how much exactly it was that I won then, but then I remember vividly that I used the money to get my best smartphone as of then, a BlackBerry Bold 5 (9900), It was highly in vogue as of then and I became quite famous in the neighborhood.

PS: I'm not in for the prize, as I won't be available to travel.

Nice stories guys, keep it up.

I've been into sports betting for many years now, but i've never had any crazy winnings or huge odd accumulators worth mentioning here.
I guess i'm too strict on my bankroll and the way i bet.

Very recently, however, in early February, i was extremely close to winning 0.5 BTC from Sportsbet's promo for Super Bowl.
The prize pool Sportsbet had was a total of 1.5 BTC (1st place 0.5, 2nd 0.4 3rd 0.2 and so on).

The winner had 13 (out of 15) correct picks, those of you who have participated before know how difficult it is to reach such a figure.
I finished with 11, winning 50mBtc with 2 of my predictions being failed indirectly by a spectacular throw by Patrick Mahomes less than 7 minutes before the end of the game.

I'm not gonna lie i thought i was gonna win, worst-case scenario finish second. Everything in that game was going my way, the tie-breaker rule the promo had was also in my favor as i subbed my predictions almost immediately. But then the "2-3 Jet Chip Wasp" happened on a 3rd and 15. It wasn't a scoring play, but it was a turning point, a throw that ultimately helped Chiefs complete a late 4th quarter comeback and win their first Super Bowl in 50 years. I don't think i'll ever forget that play.

So this is my biggest win that didn't happen, i was so very close though.

I would also like to disqualify myself from consideration. My work schedule won't allow me to make it.
Good luck everyone!

great contest, like @Trofo i can not make the trip so dont consider this as an 'entry'. (Not opposed to any other prizes however )



This is about 5-6 years back, and i used to bet csgo/dota skins on Esports. (there were plenty sites where u can bet csgo/dota ingame 'cosmetics' and it used to be HUGE around that time. they had a $ value, and you could either sell them for money or use in the games, so kindof double incentives if u win)
Along with all this, there were sites for pure degen gamblers(like me). basically u would put your skins in a round pot and so would other players. everyone will get a win chance % according to the total pot value/your entered skins value, and a winner would be selected.

So one time i stayed awake all night betting on dota 2 games. was up like 2,000 usd. in the morning i thought fuck it lets gamble 1,000 on the second site.
I entered a pot and was the highest win % untill the last second someone tried to snipe me( this was common, if a pot value is 1-2k ish someone would put like 10k at the end to try to snipe that). so someone entered like 10k to snipe me and guess what ? i won lmao. At that time there was a very very expensive and amazing looking csgo skin called 'Dragon lore'.
i won that and had alot of fun playing with it in game.Everyone would see it and try to kill me to get that skin and in the mic they would ask how i got it.

And ofcourse, i lost the rest of the winnings   , but i sold the dragon lore to buy a gaming pc, that i still use till now.

I havent had that kindof night/morning ever again, but it felt awesome and top of the world.

Anyways, that was my 'Big' success story, pure luck and degeneracy paying out.
Its a hard life eh ?  

In 2013 I bought a Euro Millions lottery lucky dip ticket which was literally £2. The jackpot was a multi rollover due to several weeks of nobody winning the jackpot. The jackpot was £85,000,000, to win the jackpot you need to get all 5 numbers correct plus the 2 lucky stars.

Any way I checked my ticket & I had 4 numbers & the 2 lucky stars. When I was reading the ticket I saw all the numbers & I was convinced I had won the £85,000,000 for a few seconds. It turns out I only won £3,500.

If I had 5 numbers & 1 lucky star it would have been £200,000 but no, I got the shittier deal with 4 numbers & 2 stars.

The 1 number I missed to win the jackpot was number 23 & the number I had was fucking 24 so yeah, I will forever remember being 1 number away from £85,000,000.

Ok, I will give it a try. I am however unable to attend the game due to other obligations but I'll share the story anyway.

Feel free to skip me when considering the winner for the trip

This happened a long time ago when I first started betting in online bookies. In order for me to share my story I first have to introduce you to my way of betting. It has stayed the same thought last 15 years.

First I start by selecting all the pairs on that given day that are interesting to me or I judge them to have a value (bookies missed the odds). I put them all on a single ticket and place some minimal bet on it. Maybe 0.5 EUR or even less. There can be from 5 (slow day) to 20 (Saturday) pairs on this ticket.
After that I keep max 6 pairs I judge most likely to win and put a small-medium bet on it. Here we are talking about maybe 5-10 EUR depending on my bank, odds, feeling...
After that I keep just 2 or 3 pairs and play that for high stake. The amount here can be from 50-1000EUR, depending mostly on my bank at the moment. I am counting on this last ticket to keep me in the green zone when I crunch all the numbers come year end. This ticket thankfully passes often while the 6 pairs one passes maybe 2 times a month. While that first ticket passed just once in my life. Here starts the story...

It was Friday about 15 years ago and I selected a bunch (maybe 15) pairs from usual Friday offer. Meaning a lot of both to score markets on Dutch 2 league, some upsets in French 2nd league plus some other sports like tennis and hockey. Tu cut the story short all my pairs from first ticket passed, meaning I won all three tickets that day. My stake was about 300EUR and I ended the day with combined wins of about 4000EUR. My lowest ticket has won me around 2800EUR on stake of 38cents.  While my high stake ticket had stake of about 270 EUR and won me around 900 EUR. I immediately cashed out 2000EUR and bought myself a beast of gaming machine. Here ends my success story.

The other 2000EUR I lost the very next day. It was an expansive lesson which made me learn a lot about proper bank management and not trying to pull yourself in the green after your first high stake ticket flops.

Hi Guys!

Post your success stories here and win a trip to Watford to spend the day on us at the Leicester game, March 14

Ill go first:

One day I was betting on the horses in Asia.. I was having a number 3 day as I don't know too much about them, I just like having a bet.

Number 3 for the upcoming was was 44.00/1 so I put 10 on it.   The field was quite big, so there was a lot of big odds and no real favorite.

Just before the race started, my horse blew out to 99.70/1 due to money being spent on other runners.. those who bet horses or tote betting would understand what I mean.

My horse jumped out and lead from start to finish... meaning I ended up collecting 997.00 for my 10er investment!

Talk about a great afternoon!! what fun Smiley

regards,

Steve.

Steve only got 2 out of those 4 games correct with Sevilla winning in the 93rd minute today.

I skipped this promo, didn't like some of the selections, especially the Chelsea pick.

Those that took part should receive a free bet tomorrow i suppose.

Let's see if he picks better teams next week. 

I've done that bet (and it's already lost haha), to be honest not exactly my kind of parlay (I do like Monaco and Sevilla match ups though) but I very seldom bet on Bayern outside of UCL as the Bundesliga for me is where good upsets happen with loads of goals, but once the favourite scores, that's it for the underdog.

Screenshot's just so that an actual forum member wins I guess. And they can prove the account is linked to them. Makes sense to me if it's a Bitcointalk-only promo.

Good luck! $20 (or rather, $17 haha).

It seems I had 50% of them right for this last one and when you are going into the final leg of these multi-bet parlays: if you dont have atleast 7 of them correctly predicted going into the final four, you dont have a chance to reach far enough near the top of the leaderboard to get the 12+ wins required.
It was a good lesson to learn with my first attempt in these type of competitions.

I have put together a new thread with something different.
Prop bets

If you want to swing by and join in then you are free to come and will continue on from there since it seems they are having some good promotions going on now for their own sportsbook. Just like this multimasters but with cashback and I'll be giving out some btc on there as well.

Closing this up until they start it up again.
Thanks for all who contributed to the thread and hopefully will see you on the next one!

@morvillz: same here, 7 and the current leader has 13, I think that's the highest I've seen ever in this multi-master. Shame I've been doing worse and worse every edition and if this really is the last, it was fun while it lasted.

Roma and Napoli are disappointments for me this season, as are Atletico to a certain extent. I want to add Wolves into the picture but to be fair they are still a work in progress.

You were right, Gasperini played all their main guys, no rest for Papu Gomez, Ilicic and co.
Roma has now conceded 13 goals in their last 5 games, they are lucky they got just two goals today if you ask me.


I really needed Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg to get a draw for me to have a chance, it was kinda close too (2:3). Hoffenheim equalized twice, thought they could it one more time.  

Am at 7 correct ones but i'm notorious for having terrible Sunday predictions...so if this was the last multi-master we have, it was a pleasure!

I have 5 correct so far with Roma just standing around and allowing Atalanta to take the game from them in the second half. It was sad to watch really.
Congrats to morvillz7z for being sharp on that one. If it wasnt for this embarrassing outing by Roma then I would have 6 going into tomorrows final set of matches left to go. But looking at the leaderboard there are many with 8 and one with 9 so far.
And myself having two draws selected tomorrow, it doesnt look to promising to keep up with the pack.

Nope, I got screwed by the draws as usual. I keep thinking I should pick draws but in the past legs I made the wrong calls anyway and wasted chances on underdogs. So I only got 2 so far, seriously though, Wolves shoulda won. Valencia shoulda too!

@morvillz I thought about it too, but they'll fancy their chances in both games at full strength. It's only a concern if it's less than 3 days apart.

I have three, missed only on Atletico Madrid, i had them win in Valencia. They were ahead twice but could not hold onto the lead.

Do you guys think Gasperini will give rest to their main guys tomorrow? I totally forgot Atalanta plays in the Champions League this Wednesday.

Sorry my bad I mix few things with his slip its some mix up now I check and its clear he is 2 down you are right so this round is going to be more tough as first day we have bad results.

No, it's probably not going to be except he manages to get the remaining 11 or at least 10 more correctly because he's only managed to get 2 so far, being Dortmund to win and Atletico vs Valencia draw, elsewhere he chose Leceister and Besiktas to win, neither of both teams were able to win.

Is there anyone here who perhaps have got all 4 correctly so far ?

After checking first four matches look like this round is going to belong @rdbase he done good first four wins all to belong him lets see can he do some extra ordinary in this round for MultiMaster challenge.
