Topic: what is the largest sports bet you have ever placed, and what was the result - page 2. (Read 415 times)

So that means you are only playing on small odds? I don't like this because when I lose, I can also lose huge. Usually, I gamble on high odds using small amount of money/bets. Even if we don't gamble often, we can still win huge once our luck kicks in and we hit that huge multiplier we are always hunting on. If we gamble rarely, I think it's fine to use a slightly higher amount. You are not obligated though.

You can still stick on your regular routine if your goal is to reduced your gambling habit or to quit gambling soon because you are once an addict. The last thing that you said is true, but if I only want to have fun, I can do that better in casino games.

I only play multi tickets or parlays so my base bet has never been more than 10-15 dollars and that is not a huge amount nor it has altered if I bet more or less.I keep placing the same bets over and over,I mean same amount as placing the same bets over and over and expecting different results is insanity as that saying says and I am happy with this.I have never needed the urge to bet a huge amount on a single team even when deep inside me I knew this was going to be a winning bet,nor I have done extremes like borrowing money to do that,I am happy with my gambling habits which I have no intention of changing.

I remember the time when I placed my largest bet of about four hundred dollars on a local gambling casino. I was so sure that my bet was on the victorious team and I would win a good amount of money. However, as luck would have it, the outcome was a loss. I was devastated and felt very disappointed with myself for not being able to make the right decision. The experience left me feeling depressed and regretful, and I decided to take a short break from gambling.

Well, like most of the commenters here, I like playing NBA basketball, I also like watching NBA playoffs, and I think that I could give it a try in betting on NBA plays as I have an idea which team could win or not and who's a player I can bet on, and so far, it's good because even if I lose, as I monitor my spending in gambling or betting, I can track that I earn more than losing. And I can't recall the largest amount that I win; I think it's $300–400 in just one bet, and does it make me play more or less? It makes me play or bet more, but of course with discipline in mind, and as a person, I sometimes feel greedy and end up not well. Still,  I know that I can earn from betting, so I only limit myself to one bet per day.

Boxing obviously, I can't recall when it was, probably pre-pandemic and I have a PM with my other boxing buddy on how much I bet on it. It was like a full 4 weeks of my signature campaign that time, so could be around $400 give or take, and the only thing that I remember is that it was a Charlo fight. I'm trying to check the PM logs, but I have to go one by one. The result is that I won by one, another thing is that there are two Charlo's in boxing, they are twins and I can't recall which one is the winner. Nevertheless, happy times back then. I still bet on boxing matches but not s big at that amount.

Soccer bet, I never thought that I will lose such game because I was very sure, to the extent that I wanted to kill the bookies, but I forget that know bet is sure, I used my hard earned money, think that it would triple in several folds but my expectation was cut off, in lost that game, I nearly cry because it affected so much that I stay for sometimes before resuming again, it wasn't an easy situation for me, but I let go, I have not erased such memory, the problem with gamblers is that, when their mind is made up to place a bet, there is nothing anyone will say a that moment that will stop them from staking it unless they match has started already, my take is, even though we gamble with less odd losing will still occur, sometimes am even confused with this gambling of a thing. 

I think so too, mate. I'm still far from lucky that I haven't been able to get a big win until now. But I try to enjoy what I get from gambling, whether it's a loss or just a small win, because, as you said, we can't force luck to come. We just try to enjoy our gambling time well and stop gambling at the right time so that we don't experience big losses. We should not gamble excessively, especially in pursuit of a win that is difficult to get, and even if we can only get a small win, that is enough for us. After all, we use gambling only for entertainment and have no desire to make money but if we can win some money, that is a bonus for us that we must be grateful for.

Maybe I don't or can't get that big luck because I rarely gamble. But even though I try to gamble often, I may still have difficulty getting big wins. It would cost me a lot of money that I wouldn't even be able to afford. Well, I can only limit myself in gambling and only gamble with small bets because that is the way we can limit large losses. Betting on gambling or sports betting really requires managing your money to avoid big losses, especially since we know that gambling can tempt us not to want to stop gambling. Sports betting can give big wins but if we know how to analyze the matches. That's why many people keep trying to train and improve their analysis. They want to try to get their big win.

My experience in gambling is somehow and I wonder what the problem is sometimes. Of course, I use to experience both wining and losing as that's the nature of gambling but my concern is my winnings mostly occurs when I bet with small amount of money and my loses occur when I bet with larger amount. I still remember the day I was supposed to have recovered all my previous losses with that ticket but unfortunately I used a very meager amount to place the bet. Was just jokingly selecting random big odds and the balance on my wallet is not enough to place reasonable bet and I decided to deliberately waste the money by placing a bet on some selected big odds but the game eventually play out. I was just shaking my head and saying fear gambling on my mind.

Maybe you are away from luck so it makes it very difficult for you to get a big win even just once, that's luck, we can't force luck to come quickly or often, basically no one will know when they are lucky. Therefore I think that is a very strong reason why we as gamblers should not be excessive in pursuing something that can never be forced to come and never have any certainty. Small wins don't matter buddy, maybe that's all you can get, never force to look for big wins if in the end it just causes a lot of problems.

Now maybe one of the things that makes it quite difficult for you to get a big win is because you gamble quite rarely so you rarely get big luck, but it doesn't matter better that way and I think maybe it's not time yet. You seem to have a good mindset in terms of gambling perspective, you are able to limit yourself by reducing gambling time and only betting small amounts. Yes I think betting on a match that we don't know at all is a waste of time and money, in sports betting you really need knowledge and skills, because the fact is that it can help, but yes consider it entertainment.

This was a long time ago when I was younger and lacked basic gambling experience. I used my entire wage for a high-paying job to place a bet. Someone who claimed to be an insider brought what everyone perceived to be a sure bet. Out of greed and youthful exuberance, I used my entire wage and sadly I lost everything. It was an experience I will never forget. I had to suffer for weeks because I had to live at the mercy of my coworkers. From that loss, I learned never to bet with all I have, not betting more than you can afford to lose became real to me. I still bet but now with a well-organized gambling budget.

Football at the Qatar World Cup event and it was still in the group phase, I don't remember exactly how much but it was more than $25 and I was quite happy because I managed to win the bet, the value was certainly not fantastic because many gamblers were willing to bet with larger amounts, even the value could be used to buy luxury goods such as cars and houses.
I'm not a big gambler so the value of $25 on one bet is already big in my opinion because I'm not a fan of parlays so I would prefer to bet on many different bets with smaller amounts of money, in terms of calculations maybe this method is not very good but I prefer to see there are bets those who win choose to bet on many bets, rather than chasing bigger profits by betting on one bet with a large amount of money.

I forgot what the biggest amount of money I had ever placed was. But I have never won even a big win. Only the occasional small win and maybe it will be like that because I don't gamble too often. It doesn't cause me to bet more or less but it keeps me betting the same amount of money and I don't mind using the money. Until now, I still bet but only on matches that I know. It's not good to bet on matches that I don't know because it will only make me choose randomly, and the result might be that I will lose. But if it's just for fun, I still do it sometimes and don't care about the result.

The experience made me realise that it is not the amount you use for gambling that will make you win and that betting with big amount and big odds does not guarantee winning just like better with small amount and big odds does not also assure winning. It is important to maintain to your bankroll and not over bet by increasing the amount you use in gambling, or increasing the number of times you gamble. You will be lucky gambling when you will be lucky, it does not have to be due to the amount you used in gambling.

Most of the gambler was around me was from the casino based gambling sites,even I had 90 ercentage of the game in the casino of my complete game per week.I had some sports bet experience also and was in the Saudi Arabia league and the betting amount was 500 dollars.The fact to the game was I had loss that game in the gambling of sports betting.After that,I had personally stop the gambling based on the sports betting.The five hundred dollars was not the biggest amount in the gambling.But I had decidded to quit the game because of less knowledge about the sports bet during the Saubdi Arabia league football match in the gambling site.The gambler who had more knowledge in the sports bet can choose the sports bet or else use only the casino in the gambling sites.

You've done well in your gambling approach by only putting small amounts, that's very good, but I don't really understand what you mean that you are targeting large amounts using only small money for fishing, it's quite difficult to achieve such big results if you only use a small budget, although basically it might be possible if you are really lucky, but certainly I think it takes a long time with several trials. But yeah forget it maybe you can just be patient to wait for the luck to come, no problem.

If you have a rule that you think is the best then go for it, I see that you are one of those gamblers who is responsible enough to only put a small amount, because it means that you take a small risk, and if the final result does not match then the amount of loss you experience may not upset you. If you are tired of small budget amounts that can't give you a big win then I don't think it's the right way if you choose to increase the budget amount, because basically gambling is just an activity for profit, so a large budget amount will not fully become a big win, and that means you better go back to your original rules with a small budget amount, that's better. 

$100 on a game with Lillard is still with Portland, I forget who is their opponent that time. It was a ML bet, so I guess I was hoping for Lillard to have his usual "Dame Time" back then. However, I wasn't able to watch the game itself, I don't know I just feel asleep while waiting for the game itself.

And when I woke up, Portland won, it was a very close game and again, I recalling everything, it was a game winner from Dame. He has to drive and bank the shot if my memory serves me right. And I was just thinking that if I watch the game, I will be very nervous.

On sportsbet, the largest single bet I've made is from a basketball game. It's from a hype basketball game where Lebron and Curry are against each other and I really know much about basketball at that time and bet on whose my friend are on and won and used my winnings to treat my friends. It was around 400-500USD worth of btc at that time.

Honestly, it doesn't really affect much of my gambling activity as I seldomly gamble on sportsbet and mostly gamble on dice and other casino game and I've lost more when I tried betting all in on one of my dice gambling session.

I don't actually place big amount in a single bet because my method is using small of money to target big amount. As you know,  it is one thing to make rule and another to keep them. So, once in a while there there is this temptation yo try something new like a new approach for a different outcome.

In one of my time of trying something new, I decided to stake big amount on selected games I considered safe. Consequently,  I staked $50 targeting to win $500. Unfortunately the game failed and I was deeply pained. Since then I have not tried playing with big amount again.

Yeah really most of us started using fiat currency casinos and then we have lost in a multiple times but then my higher sports bet amount was wagered when got to this forum and I used bitcoin,  it was an accumulated 2-week payment for the signature that I used to place that bet,  I was thinking that the odds were sure and I made a bet pf 0.01 btc,  and I lost it at the end and this almost crippled me and the motivation on me gamble ever.

But as time went on I got over that and I moved on, much time after then I won and lost as many as I can remember but then the most important lesson learned and that is to gamble with only an amount I can afford to lose and be comfortable with so we keep moving regardless.

The biggest sports bet I ever placed I remember was in 2022 when Argentina played against France. I happen to really like Messi so at that time I supported Argentina. At that time I was very confident that Argentina could win the World Cup, but people said France was the favorite, but we had the advantage of having the greatest player of all time, namely the superstar Lionel Messi.

I was very worried because Argentina lead was always chased by France until the extra time ended and the score was tied at 3-3. that's where my heart beats during the penalty shootout. Will Argentina win the world cup by beating France because it is likely that this will be the last world cup for the mega star Lionel Messi. and finally my worries became joy because I got a big win at that time. I will never forget the biggest win I ever bet.
