It's an easy mistake to make. I've seen people do that in transactions where they'd input the wrong amount or too high fee, back when you had to manually adjust it.
That's why Electrum had that fee bar added so that you couldn't overdo it with the fee, unless you chose a manual fee option. That's why many wallets added qr codes and exchanges have you an auto copy button.
When you feel bad about it just think of people who were trying to bet $5 on auto and pressed the same with $50 and a minute later their wallet was down a few thousand.
I feel like you were too excited about your first payment and eager to bet it. Easy come, easy go.

I think the mistake can happen to anybody, you shouldn't have to blame yourself for that, next time you just have to be extra careful when placing your bets next time so that you won't endup making similar mistake. It happens to me frequently, most expecially whenever am stressed and I still want to gamble, I will endup in putting wrong amount and I won't notice till the bet have have been successfully and I won't be able to cancel it again. If you have won the game you won't be regretting currently, but because you didn't win that's why you are regretting.
Right. It’s never a new thing for us especially if we gamble but our mind is out of nowhere so we lost our focus, and that’s where mistakes take place. That sad thing is you end up with an empty wallet because of that. I guess it should be a lesson for everyone to never bet if your mind is not yet ready, or deposit only an amount to your wallet that you will be used for betting, so that if ever you commit mistake again, you will not lost extra amount. But the best thing to do is, take extra careful everytime you bet so that you will minimize making mistakes.Even if you are not stressed upon starting up but when losing streak occur for sure we still get stress out seeing the losing streak we encounter at the time we are playing. All of us can commit mistake but we make sure that we can keep our cool as long as we can so that we will not get out of shape and we can still decide efficiently on what to do after we lose.
Today morning received the weeks payment. I had the payment of the previous week. Altogether it was around 0.0055 in the wallet. The first bet was planned to be 0.0005BTC. Instead of placing 0.0005BTC, I misplaced 0.005BTC and the bet was lost. This was completely unexpected and it is my fault. If the bet have won my wallet balance could've turned 0.007BTC, now it is an empty wallet.
Have any of you encountered such wrong bets and won/lost

I really feel sorry for you for what happened to you. I know that such a situation can occur with anyone therefore it is better to double your betting amount before placing the bet. A single zero wrongly placed can have a severe impact on our portfolio especially if the bet is lost, as it happened in your case.
Anyways whatever happened cannot be reverted but in case if you had won the bet, you would have considered yourself lucky.
I nearly lost a phone too..... because I was just about to throw it against the wall.... but fortunately the mouse was closer.

This is sad to see you lose an entire balance but I think this mistake arises for gamblers many times without numbers, I have been a victim where I stake my entire balance for a single ticket of a single match when I wasn't sure about what I played, the game never came and I Learnt my lessons and left the Casino since they don't have options to use the modal slide. It is very easy to wager or stake a game when they have something like 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% or something like when they display the percentage in value so that a player can easily spot what they are trying to bet. Like your balance, for example, 25% of your total balance will be 0.001375, and so on for other percentages but I guess you cannot change casino since you are using stake for weekly payments.

I'm sure you're not the only one who has experienced that, many gamblers here have also done something like that, not double checking the bet. It's just that you got a little lost and your bet didn't hit, imagine that in just a second, your 0.005btc disappeared from your balance. Even so, this is still a lesson for us as a gambler in a casino. Sorry for your loss,

I'm almost sure that I always bet the amount I wanted so I don't think I bet any wrong amount as far as I remember but when it comes to such situations that is common and almost everyone may encountered atleast once that is why we should not bet in a hurry and bigger screen like desktop is preferable over mobile so we can see the decimals more accurate.Have any of you encountered such wrong bets and won/lost
Casinos also should implement some feature to prevent such human errors which can be fatal at certain times like misclick of Max instead of the amount we typed can drain complete wallet in a second.
You are right, gambler should always keep a limited amount of money in his/ her account incase if mistake like this happen, there will always be a back up. Make sure you don't deposit all your money in a gambling site all at once,
Any money that a gambler is not using for betting, the gambler should just move it out of his gambling site account into his own account. I only have the amount of money I am using to bet on gambling site.But that is not what gamblers should consider because we have different ways and approach for gambling. Assuming you have $100 for gambling, out of it you have $30 on gambling site, you prefer to use $1 to gamble all the time, but you just mistakenly use $10 which is huge for you to gamble with, if the person lost it, he will not see it good at all and it would be like OP case.
That was a huge bet, and it's a loss. If that's a win, then it's okay. I am not sure if this happened to me before, as I am always keen on checking zeros before hitting a bet because, as you know, I am very into attention to details and I don't want to be wrong, so I always check it. You should be always double checking this or also try to bet like using other forms of cryptocurrency that are whole like doge so that you won't be having problems on zeros, but if you are just keen on checking it then it is okay.
I think the OP problems comes from the fact he placed the bet in the morning hours. He must have been tired when he did that because I see no reason why anyone will make such big mistakes. What if that was all they money you had on you at that point, you mean you would have lost it all then what happens after then, this is exact reason for most suicide.
I just hope you don't get into depression because of this lost. Converting that to dollars and that's 100 grand, that's a big money even in the US. Next time just double check your bets before approving it. And avoid betting in the morning hours, make sure you're very awake before betting.
Perhaps they make such mistakes in the future. And to say nothing of those who did. A gambler should keep a specific budget in a gambling account. It is better to keep the extra money in a safe place. It can be re-deposited if required. But gambling should not be careless. There is a risk of big losses due to any reason. So be careful before taking any new bet.
You are right, gambler should always keep a limited amount of money in his/ her account incase if mistake like this happen, there will always be a back up. Make sure you don't deposit all your money in a gambling site all at once, You can just deposit the little amount you will be needing at that particular moment and enjoy your gambling. Also gamblers should always make sure they double check there bet first before placing it. Sometimes it's not about clicking the wrong amount, sometimes you might endup choosing the wrong bet which you won't know early.
I can't remember finding myself in such unfortunate incident as I make sure to check and recheck the figures to be sure of what am doing before executing any of my bet. Cause the slightest mistake cam coat me a non-recovery loss that I may not easily forgive myself as to just accepting it as a mistake. I think most persons fall victim of this case when they're in a hurry to book a bet maybe due to a very limited left for the games to kick off especially for sport betting,while some are just out of shared negligence.
There was an instance where my bet gone wrong too because I am in a hurry placing the bet before the bet will be closed. Though I still end up losing but thankfully, it’s just a small amount so I never have to regret about it. But if I won that time, maybe I might have some regrets why I only placed a small amount, even though I know I should be grateful instead. However, in order for us to avoid making mistakes and regret them later, then let’s double check our bets before we finalize our bets.Well, the lesson is learned, though in an unfortunate way, I hope that we that has not experienced it could learn from him as well.

Yes, about two weeks ago.. I took part in one of the Stake.com challenges and it was time sensitive. So I picked one of the less known Slots and quickly configured my "auto" bets for turbo bets with $0.40 bets.
I did not notice that I accidentally clicked $40.00 instead of $0.40 and my balance was gone in a few seconds. So, even if I win the challenge 100 times in the future, I would not break even on my losses due to this.
I nearly lost a phone too..... because I was just about to throw it against the wall.... but fortunately the mouse was closer.

Well, that's kind of inevitable sometimes most especially when you're entering fractions of Bitcoin to place a bet, our eyes tends to get tricked by how many zeros you have entered before the actual number. This is where placing a bet in a USD form is much easier to look at, thus making sure you've placed the correct amount. But don't get me wrong, your Btc wont get automatically converted to USD, it does only show you the current USD equivalent to your wagered Btc. Some casinos I knew have that options though.
Have any of you encountered such wrong bets and won/lost
Does the platform you play on have an option to change the visibility of the parameter to dollars? If there is such an option and you choose it, you can reduce the probability of making a mistake to a lower level. We can all make mistakes. In fact, we always say that we are careful, but we can always make mistakes. We are prone to make mistakes by nature. That's why we should always try to be careful and not rush things when we get things done. I have never made such a mistake before, but one day I may make such a mistake. I can't say that I would never make such a mistake.
Yeah, I also experienced this before. It was in ETH if I remember it correctly. I should have placed 0.01 ETH but ended up placing 0.1 ETH instead. I also lost it. It wouldn't have happened had I placed it as an early bet because I normally double-check my bets. But it was a live bet, and you know how live odds are very quick to change you need to be quicker in order to grab it right away.
I can still remember that after this, the same mistake happened. I was only lucky because my balance wasn't enough and it came out as an error.
