    What was your single biggest bet ever?
    Mine was the buy in for WSOP for 10k but that was from a satellite so I guess that doesn't count.

    I was playing craps at a 20x odds table in Tunica and bet $200 on the line with $4k odds on a point of 4. Seven out!

      $hit a point of 4? Were you drunk or on tilt?

            I had it built up to that. Still left up about 20k. I didn't feel good about the 4 so I threw out a come bet to split up the odds. Dealer said "don't change what you are doing" because I had been winning, so I took it back. I roll a 5, it gets repeated a few rolls later, then 7 out. Never listen to dealers.

                Not my biggest wager by any means but your thread made me think of it. Made this one outside of ATT park before heading in staring at the clouds and feeling the winds. Knew this one was gonna sail over after these teams had played back to back unders. Looking back I'm surprised I paid that kind of juice. Must have been the alcohol.

                                    Laid down everything I had back in 1984. I didn't realize the wager I was making could keep draining my pocket book all these years later. But, we've actually been happily married for at least five of those many years. I'm just thankful they didn't all come together. Time management is just as important (if not more-so) as money management.

                                                lost $1,300 on the LA Kings a few weeks ago against Dallas at home. Of course Dallas came out of no where and played their last good game of the season. IDK if they've won since.

                                                            One of the worst bets I have made. After getting demolished by taking the Panthers at home against the Giants last season, I bet 2.5k on BYU and the pts. against Boise St. for a 2nd half bet. One of the biggest miracle wins of my degeneracy. I was losing after Boise St.'s defensive linemen returned an interception for a TD. Boise St. should have scored another, but couldn't punch it it from 1 to 2 yards out in a later offensive series. Then, BYU's freshman QB somehow ran one in and then BYU proceeded to go for 2 and failed. Will never forget that one. The final score 6-7.
