95% of us on here are small time gamblers sweating a couple hundred on a game max, most bettors on this site are probably $50 or less to be honest. so its always entertaining to see some big money moving. In the past two days I have seen:

player #1: playing high limit blackjack betting around $2k per hand. Plays about 10 hrs straight on the same table walks up a little over 70k. Comes back the next day on the same table with very similar action and is down 90k. battles back and ends up only down 20k for the 2nd day, for a total of up 50k past two days.

player #2: playing crapless and playing $5k pass line with occasional odds, $5k field bets and the occasional $200 yo bet. Day 1 down 60k. Comes back day 2 and wins 50k of it back and takes a break. comes back later that night playing same way, gives 40k of it back to end down 50k past two days.


I know its comparing apples to oranges, but the amount of action and the swings were crazy to see. You can really see it taking its toll on people at times, Ill stick to sweating my $100 wagers here and there.

I've made a handful of 5 digit wagers in my life...always on sports.

Casino can be brutal, not sure how people can handle the big swings on bj/craps

i use to bet around 300-500 on games about 5+ years back and got destroyed one Saturday afternoon, went like 1-9 was down around 3k and half my bankroll. I made my biggest bet ever, on the magic vs lakers. was too sick to my stomach to watch the game, forced myself to go to bed. woke up in the 4th qtr to them not covering. got sick to my stomach and hated life. magic made a comeback and covered, i got all my money back pretty much and cashed out. told myself id never get in that deep again and have bet alot smaller since then. but yea, I have seen alot of crazy things over the years in the casino, its rare to have two people getting in that deep or up that much at the same time, most people seem to run or walk once you hit the 5 figure amount. so its a limited # of people playing through that point when winning or losing

I don't know what the max deposit is with offshore books these days, but it makes you wonder how often that happens with online casinos. After a while, it doesn't even seem like you are playing with real money. I know that I've done it before long ago. Probably the most I lost was around 500 bucks...depressing af.

years ago i sat on my couch sunday night needing over in the broncos game when they still had peyton. wasn't even close to over. -10,900 for the week. took a while to recover from that


pulled 12000$ worth of stock out of BEAT for 10-11$ a share at the time to pay. for the gift that keeps on giving

It's all relative........

The person betting 50K bets may have a billion in the Bank /Stock ..etc !!! (now if they do not ) THAT'S STRESSFUL AND UNHEALTHY

and the Person betting $100 bets may have $70 Dollars in the Bank!!! (EVERY BET WOULD BE STRESSFUL /UNHEALTHY)

Key is to bet within your means -if you hit a dry patch for a while you can survive the swings and enjoy life.............GL

Kidman, here's your tip for the day.

Put a bar code on your dog. Scan the bar code.

Then bet your dog on this parlay:

Red Sox -1.5
Nadal
Athletic Bilbao under 3



Now you've just won about 2.5 times more of your favorite dog then you started with. Win-win situation!

0-0 at 10'

live is 1.5 -200


Don't think Bilbao has scored a goal in last 4 games. Something like that. Played yesterday as well so shouldn't get a fresh performance.

​Player #2 came back in and dropped another 20k in about 10 mins, think he is no longer in town.
