Most you ever made on a bet? Casino. Sports betting etc.
I turned $100 into $15,000 in a single weekend betting head to head in football. Then I lost it all the next week. Then following week I did it again making $12,000 in a single weekend starting from a $100 bet. I then lost half of that, trying to win more and decided to retire my gambling career for good lol. This was about 15 years ago. Since then I have never replicated this but it was very stressful. Its crazy when the stakes get higher how stressed you get. Not worth it in my opinion.

What's the biggest return you ever got?

Most I ever lost in Vegas: thirty five cents, one arm bandit, as a teen. The money didn't come back, I thought "this is stupid" and got bored with it.

I'm in the negative based on lifetime earning/losses.

I do it more for fun though..and don't bet more than I can afford to lose.

NIT championship tonight..UAB vs UNT.

I'm putting $ on UAB -2.

I suggest anyone with a brian does the same.

$200 from a guy who bet I couldn't eat 2 Wendy's Triple burgers in one sitting. I weighed about 120 pounds. I was so sick afterward...felt like I was on drugs.

Keep in mind we worked there for $7/HR so $200 was a GARGANTUAN amount of money.

The guy also put his phone in the industrial microwave we had because it got wet and he thought it would dry it quickly. Oh that was pretty funny.

I won $100K betting in a contest on the Kentucky Derby when American Pharaoh won. One of the coolest experiences of my life.

The first time that I ever played slots, after being talked into going to a casino (the first of two times I've gone in my life), I chose a quarter machine & decided I was going to spend $20, and that was it.

After playing for about 10 minutes and down several dollars, I hit a jackpot, and out came 1000 quarters - $250.

I cashed that out, put it in my pocket, and left.

I'm not a gambler.

You are lucky, $140, lost it all but made the $140 back within an inch of it's life. I should have cashed out when I got my $140 back but then I thought I could keep going and was out.

$700.00 on a $10.00 bet for Iceland to beat ENgland during the Eurocup. And the same on Trump winning the Presidency the moment it came on the betting sites after the escalator announcement.

Re: Most you ever made on a bet? Casino. Sports betting etc.
I’ve hit a couple long leg parlays for up to 2500

But the one that always haunts me is the one that got away. This past year, divisional weekend. Placed a $5 free bet on first TD scorer for the 4 games. Went all TE Kelce, Geodert, Knox and Schultz. The potential pay out was 100k

Kelce and Goedert both did their part Saturday in the first two games. Cash out being offered was around $400 going into Sunday. I will never forget the bills coming out flat that game and Jamar chase scoring the first td.

Devastating, but to add insult later that evening Schultz scores first to really drive the dagger in.

Wow. I miss the horses and dog tracks.
Greyhounds were so fun. At one point I owned a couple. They didn't do very well and retired at the farm.

Hit the 10 team parlay as a college student. Had $10 on it. The pool hall owner said it was by far their biggest payout. Bought a pool stick with some of the winnings. Still have it.

Found a tip sheet at the track for $10 and followed it’s advice. Hit a trifecta for $2k. Stayed up all night partying and missed the following day. Buddies went and bought same tip sheet and each came home with 30k.

I went to stay with a college buddy back in 1994, I was a cheap gambler. I would stock up on nickels and pay the nickel slots. You could play for hours and they'd give you lots of drinks. Then hit the cheap buffets! I never made much, but I didn't lose much, either. Used to be much better when the mob ran it!
