most that u have won in a single wager?

[jayroy25]

was it a parlay or straight bet and towards the begining of ur betting career or after you been betting for awhile

[fsugolf]

straight bet vs my uncle....LSU vs Ohio state BCS championship game...he's an ohio state alum and gave me a quite favorable line

[jayroy25]

not tryin to get in ne1 personal business but i just bet in the sportsbook and go for free plays and cash plays. i just dont have it in me 2 throw down hundreds to get started. so i still get the thrill of it all but never really lose nething. maybe deposit here and there couple buks thats all. i dont wanna get addicted to it and turn it into my life

[fsugolf]

you probably shouldn't bet...just my opinion

[iceminers26]

10k, straight, Texas Rangers won 4-3 on a walk off HR in the 9th, a winner but the dumbest bet of my life

I think the game ended around sometime after 11 PM and I took the boys out on the town followed up with the rippers, it was a good night to say the least.

[iceminers26]

This was 4 or 5 years ago by the way, I do not play like this anymore, much more better with money management thankfully today

Your unemployed and gambling? Not a good combination, if your not a professional gambler.

yes it was game 7 lakers over rockets last year

lakers -12. they won by 19. rockets made a huge run near the end to bring to 15 then lakers hit a couple of baskets. i will never do that again because i had to go and watch the game with the bookies(asians) and have the cash upfront. fukk i thought they were gonna kill me and take the money anyways, but great guys they paid me on the spot and told me to fukk off

Good story but that would be odd watching the game with the book, just glad it ended well

very odd- they have that rule on any bets of 10k or over- easily understandable

i get almost 1700 a month for unemployment and a gf who makes good money

[THE PROFIT]

I'm a big bettor but not that much on an individual game. So I think the most I've ever won on an indivual game was $3,000 on Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl a few years back. Plus I had some on the total & some props so I think it ended up being close to a $5,000 night.

My dad & some of his friends came over to my place that morning & we started drinking. Then more people showed up. We all went to a sports bar to watch the game & met up with more people & was getting hammered on free beer because we were with the sales manager for the local anheuser busch bottler. At halftime we went back to my apartment & I think between the 9 of us we had around $75,000 wagered on TB and the over. In the 3rd when TB had a big lead & it went over my dad was shitfaced & wanted to go to the strip club. So we did!!!

One dude in our entourage was mildly retarded, he worked with my dad & he always makes fun of him. I take that back, he's pretty retarded. My dad drunk taking a retard to the mainstage getting him lapdances is an image I'll never get out of my head! A classic night indeed!

[MendozaLine]

had 1K on Utah in the 2008 sugar bowl. On the moneyline too. Was chasing a 500 dollar loss earlier in the day.

[harlee71]

I was playing $2k a hand Blackjack and I was winning big. Had one hand with a three splits and two double downs......and the dealer busted. That was probably my biggest bet.

[JohnAnthony]

Risked about $8,000 to win $5,000 - Andy Murray in early 2009. That was a stupid bet.

Biggest amount I won: $14,000 NL Hold'em pot.
