What is the biggest bet you have ever had?

[Bozza]

What's the biggest amount of money you have ever bet on something?

(Stuff like £1 10-leg accumulators when you lost the last leg do not count unless £1 is the most you have ever bet on anything.)

Just curious, like...

£25 on the Albion to win the Second Division - won £600+ quid in the end I think.

 

[sullyupthewing]

£200 on the nose of my mates Greyhound, It got beat in a photo.

 

[Happy Seagull]

I would guess £40 on the roulette table

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

£1 on us to beat Ipswich and stay up.

I lost, but at least we stayed up.

Not really a gambling person me!

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

£50 on Kerry McFadden to win I'm a celebrity, get me out of here a couple of years ago.

Netted: £600 Ker-Ching

 

[Del Boy]

£20 quid at the dogs whilst already £50 up and very pissed!!!

 

[Crawley Boy]

I had £300 on a Crawley in an FAC tie a couple of years ago. We won 4-1, and although it was odds-on I still won £200.

I haven't bet, unless you count the lottery, for about 18 months.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

In one go, £40. Much more over a night of Roulette.

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

I won £150 on Bez winning Celebrity Big Brother

 

[parks]

£100 on Roulette and lost the lot in 5 mins flat!!

 

[Gully]

...an eighteen stone liverpuddlian lass, oh hang on, wrong thread...

 

[Jello]

$100 on one spin of the roulette table in Vegas on black, yep it came up red
But in UK only £30 on a race at Cheltenham, yep that lost too but was over £100 up

 

[REDLAND]

I had £7000 on Liverpool to beat TNS at home. I think though I'm not sure I had the same amout on England to beat NI at home as well !!

 

[brighton2win]

redland u know im ur best m8..................

 

[Roger Mellie]

£500 on england and the ashes

 

[Pevenseagull]

I've staked a grand on a dozen or so occassions but only on 1-4 or shorter, everytime the bet came in - haven't done that for over a year, but I will do it again.

Novemeber is my big football betting month and I shall be staking £200 a week on trebles with accumulative odds of around 3-1 - this has worked well for me in the past

 

[y2dave]

Had a mad day recently and done 1200 dollars a hand on blackjack - luckily I won that hand and stopped playing when I got to 5 grand up. Was doing 300 dollars a hand for hours to get this amount.

Betting wise I have won and lost several hundred on numerous occassions, I was too greedy. Now I'm more patient, take calculated risks and only bet what you can afford to lose, even when you are 'up'.

 

[robbied69]

I did £100 on Hurricane Run to win the Arc a few weeks ago. Don't know why, cos I don't usually bet. I won £400, which was brilliant as I've just moved into a new place.

 

[The Laughing Bluebird]

Biggest winning stake: £800 on a horse called Tumbleweed Pearl at Bath races in 1996 (I think). She won by about 8 lengths at 6/4.

Biggest losing stakes: £500 on a horse called Charnwood Forest at Ascot in the same year (finished second by a head at 5/4), and £500 on Albion to get relegated last season.
