How much did you bet, on what event, and of course, what result did you get? Over the past year, I have been betting on sports more often than usual, thanks to the bonus funds I receive from playing freerolls on 888. My biggest bet with these bonus funds was about $220. I got a $110 profit from that bet. When it comes to real money, I rarely bet more than $20. Only once did I bet $50, and unfortunately I lost it. I mainly bet on soccer and basketball.

For a while, I was betting on American Football. I used to bet $100 a week. I would choose a game with a nice spread and bet on it or bet on the over/under when I see some tempting numbers. But no matter what the numbers were, it wasn't easy.

Overall, I think I ended up winning about $600 during 2 seasons 🤪. It might appear so little and not worth it, but the excitement and the adrenaline rush you experience during those games are truly priceless.

I like sports betting. The biggest bet was about $60. The biggest win I ever made with a single bet was about $300. I only bet on soccer. And, since I usually bet, I do it in leagues with a good goal average. I like the Nordic leagues to bet on. Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and Finland are good leagues to bet on, at least for me.

For me personally, I would have gone up to 3L INR on betting in Cricket 🏏 (most famous sport in India). That’s almost 3400 usd as of date. 😁 don’t ask me about the result though 🥲

I bet this money on a soccer match during Euro 2012, and I bet on the Italian national team. Unfortunately, the bet was such that I still cannot forget it. I lost the money.

Dont remember exactly anymore since it was years ago but i should imagine my biggest bet has been like 50€ ...
Also i should imagine highest odds which i've ever won was @30 or so when i did 1x2 acca on Premier League matches probably like 10 years ago ...
This ^ is probably not that spectacular since i'm in some sports betting discords where people place (ridicilous) single bets and accas with high odds pretty much every single day multiple times - for example in yesterday's Newcastle vs Barcelona match someone hit some weird market with odds @67 ...

I used to bet a lot on football and tennis . Mainly on football . Now I have stopped sports betting. I haven't bet for more than a year . I saw many crazy results , overloaded with fake results and performances , I finally stopped playing . But if I see a live tennis or football event I might bet again . But yes very little money . I always bet little money . Rarely 30-50€ , cause in most cases I had no luck or good results

I think my biggest bet was $100, but my biggest wins were probably from $5 march madness pools.

My biggest bet was on the 1st round of the NBA Playoffs between Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers. I bet 6,000 UAH (or $200). It wasn't bonus money, and yes, I lost that bet. I bet that the Clippers would hold an 8-point handicap. I remember that unpleasant feeling, but I still love the NBA. :)

honestly i'm way too cautious for huge bets, my biggest was probably like $50 on a premier league match. it hit and i made a fast eighty bucks, but mostly i just bet like five or ten bucks on basketball games just to make watching them more fun.

I always bet $100 as my standard bet, pretty much only college basketball, mostly UNC games, ( I grew-up in a house where UNC basketball was like a religion, went there for undergrad, grad school, and was a professor there ), with a few other college basketball bets here and there. Til this year's World Cup, when I got sucked in early, adopting Norway as my team,( and rooting hard for Scotland, my primary ethnic heritage ), betting many games and long-term bets. I had the Netherlands to make it to the final four at +1200, Norway to make the final four at +1800, and France to win it all at +450, and my last standing bet Argentina to win it all at +550. I think I had done very well for someone who didn't even know what a corner-kick was two months ago, up +$825, but then lost $400 last week, still have Argentina Sunday to make me $550....

As for bonus funds, I have bet various amounts, from $100 to $250. As for real money, I prefer 20 bets of $1 to one bet of $20.

I bet on sports regularly. I actually got started thanks to bonus funds from freerolls, but nowadays I mostly use my own bankroll. The amount I bet varies depending on the match and how confident I am in it, so I don't have a fixed stake.

I usually keep my stakes pretty small, around $10–20 per bet. My biggest win came from a soccer accumulator that paid a little over 3x my stake. I've had a few close calls where one leg let me down, but that's betting for you. I mostly stick to soccer and the occasional NBA game since those are the sports I follow the most.

I used to bet $50 on our Ukrainian soccer team. I bet several times, and every time I bet, our team lost. And when I didn't bet, our team won. For the sake of the future of the Ukrainian soccer team, I stopped betting.

I rarely bet my own money on sports. I bet bonus money, but I don't like to risk my own. My maximum bet with my own money is probably $10.

If you bet only on your favorite team or rely on intuition, you shouldn't expect to turn a profit in the long run. Not everyone can become a winning bettor even with careful analysis of games, but their chances of making money from betting are higher. I love tennis.

I was in Las Vegas in 1991. The Toronto Blue Jays got knocked out of the American League divisional series by Minnesota Twins. They posted the odds for the next year, so I bet $10 across the board for the Blue Jays to win the AL East, AL Pennant and the World Series. I think I won about $300.

I bet $300 on Naomi Osaka once for a tennis game and it didn't go well for her or my $300. She was a favourite to win it too. It was a lesson on tennis betting for sure.

Once, I had a bet with a friend and put $100 on Dynamo to win. It was an emotional bet and, unfortunately, I was wrong. Emotions and sports betting don’t mix well.
