So, the question is simple, in your gambling activities all through 2023, how much your biggest win?
I have had some nice games this year but the fact that I don’t gamble with large amount means that I don’t also win huge amount –– But the one I can vividly remember was when I participated in a 10 days rollover challenge; the rule was simple, flip 5,000 Nigeria currency (~$4.2) to 106,000 Nigeria currency (~$90) using just 1.3 odds for 9’days and on the tenth day increase it to 2 odds.
Whoever wins gets an additional 100,000 Nigeria currency. 15 of us took part and only 4 of us won the game and that was the highest amount I won in gambling this year the rest were just a few dollars from the range of $5 – $30.
And in loses as well, how much was your biggest loss?
I don’t gamble much but if I’m to give a guess I’d say it the highest was not more than 10,000 Nigeria currency in a single game, that should be the highest I have lost in a single match. To some it might be penny but it’s something I have decided to do so as to control myself from funding my account with money that wasn’t meant for gambling.
Is it possible for you to calculate your cumulative wins and losses, and tell if 2023 was profitable or not; to you in terms of gambling?
Lets discuss..
That 10 days rollover really did boost my wins (considering the bumps that was included) coupled with the fact that I don’t use large amount to gamble I’d say that I did profit 2023 gambling sessions. It might not be much but profit is profit no matter how small it may be.
Indeed, that 10 days rollover was a major booster for you, and yeah, a profit of a profit regardless of how small, it's much better than ending in a loss, so, congratulations to you ending 2023 with being profitable in gambling, let's hope 2024 will be far better than 2023.
And for me, I think the story is quite the opposite, I did join a betting group on telegram that promised a lot of profit, the admin of the group posts games for free to his group members, so as many of us who joined didn't have to pay for subscription of any kind.
I joined the group and started betting on every game posted by the admin, I started wit 50,000 Nigerian naira, and we were doing really well, for in less than a month or so, 50,000 naira had turned to almost 600,000 Nigerian naira, and seeing that some of us in the group were betting as high as a million, even the admin was betting between the range of 2 to 4 million Nigerian naira, and me seeing that, betting high equals to winning a really high amount of money as well, I got tempted to take a big shot and win a good amount of money for once.
So I went all in on the next game, I stake over 500,000 naira and boom, in the twinkle of an eye, the money was gone.
This is my biggest loss in gambling for the 2023, and this has also contributed to seeing that I end 2023 in the negative in terms of gains from gambling.
