Title: What is the greatest risk you have taken as a gambler.
Post by: Cryptsafe on January 04, 2024, 03:09:57 PM
As a gambler, there are lots of experience that comes while gambling, some are very much funny though while some come with high risk. In as much as they are, we have had the experience and as such engaged with it in one form or the other.

I personally have not had that much risk because I plan my budget but I can remember back then in 2007 when I had to save my launch and transport money to school to gamble for  UEFA finals and it paid off because I won my bet back then and that was my first win back then.

What risk have you taken in the course of you gambling and how was the outcome of the risk you took.
Let the fun begin.

The risk I took wasn't worth it but that served as a lesson for me. The greatest risk I have taken as a gambler was using a million naira to gamble with the hope of winning 1.2m which means getting only #200k profit. I lost the bet and I came to realize that there is nothing sure about gambling. In fact, place a bet that all the players will wear jerseys for a match and it will surprise you to see the goalie in a singlet lol

The risk is not worth it . I either gamble with a small amount of money to win small reward or gamble small amount of money to win big rewards. Either ways I am only using what I can comfortably lose to gamble.
Nothing is too sure in gambling and especially sports betting. You can predict that the match will end after 90 mins and you will be surprised that the match will last 2hrs lol

Sometimes one needs to take the bull by the horns so taking risk sometimes is not bad but the experience or lessons learnt is what that really matters. Some risk are worth it while some are not but all definitely points towards the type of risk and the possibility of the end results.
Yours was really a risk but just as you have said, it was not worth it looking at the rewards compared with the inputs it does not really equate. I think you must have done this out of confidence you had in the game and I must say it is likely to be a football game you took that risk for having the thoughts of the team winning in your favour  but the reverse was the case and you lost everything.

It is true what you say here that there is no certainty in gambling. I agree with what you said. That's why, if we know that there is no certainty in gambling, we should really just limit the amount of money that we will gamble in a casino here in the crypto space.

So, we already know that there is no certainty that we will win here, and there is also no reason to hope that we will win a lot of money when we play gambling here, even if we say that we only hope for luck because the ending of this mindset is still not there as a certainty.

Same thing happen on me, i used lower multiplier with 90% chance of winning with bigger bet but low winning profit. This mean if i bet with large amount the profit will still be descent. But unfortunately after just 3 rolls, besides of having 90% chance of winning i still lost lmao, so the 10% of loss deficit still above me and it sucks

When I was still in college, I gambled using the money that I should use to pay for my studies. I have my high hopes that my gambling activity would have a better result, I needed money that time to pay for my tuition and to have some a little extra money. I used the money to place my bet which was the money that I earned while I was studying. But the thing is, the outcome was not in my favor. I lost all the money that I had saved for my tuition, and after that, all I can do was regret my actions.

On cryptocurrency. I bought a coin without any investigation or research on a pump with a huge leverage around 50 or 75 can't recall. Goodness was the fall massive. It turns out i bought a fake rumor of possible adoption by Binance. Long story short my money was liquidated via cross margin. One of the reasons am biased against future trading.

I believe everybody has what he or she has done which was risky to him or her as a gambler,Some persons have taken loan or borrowed money for gambling,while some persons have sold their last property just to play a game.I have been so fortunate not to have been involved in any of such because the ideology I have towards gambling is quite different.I know that gambling is very risky,and anything that makes me take risks that I can't handle will end up making me depressed,therefore,I am not in the category of those who have had ugly experiences about gambling.

It was very historical moment for Bangladesh and also for me. 2015 Bangladesh VS England match in world cap Match. In that game, Bangladesh team defeated England team and reached the quarter finals. I was new in betting site. It was bet365 betting site.

My bet was $50
If Bangladesh win they will pay - 10x
If England win they will pay - 1.06x

I taken risk for Bangladesh.

England need 16 runs from 12 balls and 2 wickets laft. Rubel Hossain come to bowling and he take that's 2 wickets at the cost of only 1 run. And Bangladesh win that's match by 15 runs.
And Finally i win the bet and get 50×10= $500. It was greatest risk for me in betting and gambling. Because then i was student and then $50 was huge amount for me. After that i never get this kinds of risk ever.

Way back, Oct. 31 or Nov. 1 way before I got myself involved in crypto. Was playing in a landbase casinos, won big at $1k. In less than 24 hours, comes back again to play and almost lost everything. Down to my last $10-$50, max bet on 50 lions slot machine, didn't get the bonus round, but I got a scattered lions in the 2nd-5th reel, it was huge, win by almost $4k.

Went home with around $3.8k something, didn't risk it back as I know that I will go home losing everything and I was just lucky enough to make that big risk down to the last money of mine and won.

This happened several years ago I was tempted to bet my two months' salary on a boxing match this is the Pacquiao - Dela Hoya match, and my co-worker challenged me that Dela Hoya would win the match, I am a big Pacquiao so I committed my two months salary and we all know what happened Pacquiao beat Dela Hoya convincingly, but I just can't imagine if I lose I cannot pay all our bills and we'll have our water and electricity cut off, its one of the riskiest bet I've taken then

That time when I choose to place more bet on lottery to maximize my chances of winning that ends me up buying food that is not enough for me and my family. That was for me the greatest risk I have taken as a gambler to sacrifice food for gambling.

I placed a bet on a football game a few years ago and was somewhat disappointed. Because at that time after losing some bets, I bet some of my money in favour of an unknown football club, but the betting odds were so high that I took it knowingly. I know I will definitely lose there because then the betting odds were around 12 times. After I placed a bet there, I was just focusing on the other side. One day later, I suddenly entered my balance and saw that I had won several times more than my total balance. I know how much happy at that moment. That win was my biggest win in my life.

nothing much risk that i do in gambling except pawning a gold watch that my pop gave and then back to playing mahjong. i lost it all again but i'm glad the person i took loan gave back my watch with my promise to pay.

not the kind of thing i would want to do again but things could have been different if the person who i look loan isn't a family friend. i could have been in trouble that night if my pop notices the watch isn't on my wrist.  the risk is not about losing money, its what my pop would do to me and will he ever trust me again giving valuable gifts.

I am not a gambler that is one thing I can honestly say to anyone. I can be an addict with coffee, milk and sometimes soda but not gambling though I occasionally - very rare actually - bet on lotto just for fun and for that illusionary chance to win millions. But there is one experience that I could never forget when I was then younger...and it involved cockfighting. Here in my country, many people most especially boys and men are big fans of cockfighting. I understand that there is a big adrenaline rush in this "chicken" game and of course money can be made for the victors. Personally, I do not like the idea of two chickens fighting for their lives just to entertain people but I don't actually care on what others prefer. One time, my friend told me to come with his other friends as they would be going to a cockfight arena and make a bet...he told me then that I might have a beginner's luck since it was my first time to ever go inside such a place. Alas, my bet lost and I left home dejected with what happened so I promised to myself never to return to such a place. I therefore conclude that I do not have a taste for gambling as I am not prepared psychologically to lose money in this way. Sadly so many people are wasting their lives and money on gambling to the point of ruining their own reputation and family in the process. With the surging popularity of online gambling - now using apps - am sure more and more people would be victims of this social  malady.

Gambling is always risky, but gambling becomes more risky when gambling with large amounts of money. I took such a risk but the result went against me. When I took the maximum risk and the results went against me, my opinion has changed a bit that one should never gamble so much money at once. If I had bet some money on different teams without betting my whole money, maybe some results would have gone in my favor but I bet my whole money on any team and it went against me. But since then I've realized the amount of money I lost that makes me more likely to win than lose.

Wow, that is a big risk, thank God you were able to win, because it is difficult to have your services cut off and only for a bet, well it is not good either, that, of course, we are people who are always looking for the best osble to make, however when they put us at this point with a bet of this wow style, although to be honest I would have also bet in favor of Pacquiao, the thing is that he always managed a super spectacular style, but an exquisite boxing technique, the bad guys make you do crazy things sometimes, it would have been horrible if you were lost.

I think that at this point, in my case, I would not make bets like that, because it is very difficult, the fact of not paying for those services is hard, being without electricity is too difficult, well without electricity and without water, it is the worst , I have never made bets like that, but I can only imagine the adrenaline rush you must have felt.

I have not made any big bets in gambling. But I once gambled through coin games on a small gambling side. And I almost lost $100. Since then I no longer had the courage to engage myself in this work. I found it very disappointing. At that time I wanted to buy a mobile phone by increasing the profit but to my surprise I was completely lost. I am very disappointed by this.

I used the money that was supposedly for investing in gambling. :D

I know, I know I'm stupid for doing that one, but that was the time when I was still learning how to control myself whenever I was gambling. What I mean by how to control myself is that I'm trying to don't over-gamble, and don't get those losses of mine if I lose all of my money. Well, I lost that money at that time. It wasn't that huge, but at least after that loss, I learned how not to gamble anymore whenever I lost all of my capital.

It was the group stage of the FIFA worldcup and that was my introduction to betting in football. I cannot remember the exact amount but I know it was more than what I could afford to lose. I placed bets on multiple teams but lost them all. I had to settle for 1 to 2 meals a day (mostly cheap instant noodles) for about a week after that.

Well first of all gambling is one crazy habit and not everyone can control themselves so for other they actually watch the risk they take and while others that have the funds available to play go out very wild and partake in crazy risks that even themselves end up regretting. for me I think the risk I have taken in gambling would be class as the crazy ones but all these was when I still believe that I can actually force myself to win.

Wow.. gambling is always full of different discussion and that's what really makes it very interesting, however every gamblers have experienced a very risky days and some ended up winning and some have also ended up losing.
Moreover I will be pleased to say mine because some here might have also been in such a state where they might be confused and don't know what to do.
My greatest risk was not cashing out my bet because I believed the odds are sure, fuck that, there is no sure odds but only luck is sure in the gambling world.

It is very true, what happens in the game is merely a lot of luck, in the game we have nothing certain, there are people who trust in this and are doing wrong, I like things about the casino because I do not deny it, there are Sometimes when I do things to distract myself, I like to do things differently to see the difference in terms of roulette, crash, but I give myself completely to the game when I play in the slots, in fact I only put in money willing to lose in this way. slots, without seeking profits, because the slsts work for me as a measure of stress, it is something that cannot be seen as normal, but that is what I use them for.

In the slots I only bet 10usd, if I win well, if I lose I assume it, but that is my way of seeing things, in the slots everything is merely handed over to luck, but I see this sltos as an entertainment service for me , something like going and paying at the movies or something like that, that's how I see it, of course it's my personal perception.

So sorry about your experience. It is sometimes like that. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. This is the reason why one is advised to gamble responsibly and with funds one can afford to lose. In your case, you gamble with expectations of winning to buy phone with the little money you already saved to buy phone.  We should always keep it in mind that whenever we want to gamble, we should gamble for fun and not to earn and I believe that was you thought which did not go down well with you. I believe that was a big lesson you learnt and would never forget in a haste.

I sold my laptop, used the money to pay for a fixed match and then lost the game. I felt disappointed in myself for being so irrational at that time.

That was indeed a huge risk and a huge loss but considering the odds you were sure of winning the bet, sadly successful betting outcomes isn't even dependent on the odds, no Matter how the odds might be there's always a chance that it might go sideways, the odd arrangements is part of a way the bookmarkers trick gamblers. I have also lost a significant amount of money but it wasn't up to yours, I learnt that it's better to stake low and chase a high odd than staking with a huge amount of money chasing a little profit cause they are both risky but it's better to lose what you can afford to
