Over 134k wager and my account was not even in top 5000 list. It does not worth to wager for promotions or race, playing regularly and making profit always better, IMHO.
Damn, that's a crazy amount! I think, in any other site you would probably end up in the 500 with that amount of wager! This just shows that Stake has a lot of players and a lot of highrollers who bet insane amounts.
But in fact you are right, just wagering a high amount for a promotion is not always the best way forward.
Lol, I wagered in total only 50$, so my stats are even a lot more tiny than yours! Yeah I have heard of that user, in only 5 days, he wagered over 300,000,000 $. It paid out for him as he won 100,000$ in the raffle.
