whats the biggest bet you have ever placed? did it win or lose?

[superseagulls]

During this world cup I have done £500, but highest single bet has been £200 (which lost). What about you?

I know people who bet 10k sometimes on a single bet.

 

[surrey jim]

never done more than £20., highest win is around £500 mark on an accy

Quite a few in excess of £500 on betfair. Few losers but the winners well...........

England is where most of my cash has gone, thought they were guarenteed. How much did you put on the draws?

similar here in Vegas lumped $100 on black on roulette table as the previous 6 spins were red.
So it must be black this time nope next three were red as well.

£1000 on a nag in 2005, was told it was a stone bonking FIXED race certainty. Scraped home by a short head and gave me such a heart attack I've never bet over £50 since.

 

[happypig]

£10 on brighton to beat southampton 3-0. they won 3-1
I won £16 on the winner of the Cheltenham gold cup in about 1991

I'm not really a gambler

 

[sydney]

500 on us going up last season

1000 on kostya tzyu beating ricky hatton

600 boxed trifecta on melborne cup when brew won.......27000 in

50 quid on Gordon Brown to call an early election (the election that wasn't). He was still in his honeymoon period, he would have won. It was his only chance. It was a dead cert.

Always do hideous accys at like 500-1, stick 2 quid on and they never come through..
The only proper bet I've ever really done was after a few beers, stuck £30 on a nag at Newbury races at 15-1 in the last race of the day after winning nothing all day. Came in though
Suffice to say, all of that was spent on beer that evening.

I once put a £1 on a horse in the national as I was cajoled by others back in the late 70's. it lost..........
Its the only time i even set foot in a bookies. Have never gambled since. I hear they have carpets in them now.

 

[empire]

bookies love the accys

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Done a few £50 trebles before, and I put £50 on Ivory Coast to win African Cup of Nations...yeah, that's the most. £50.

 

[Taybha]

Biggest winning bet £50 e/w on party politics grand national

Biggest losing bet £40 e/w Formula 1

Best returns for a relative low stake £5 e/w on a horse called baron blakeney @ 66-1 many moons ago.

 

[Mackenzie]

£500 on Almahaza. It won at 5/1.

Best payout was £100 at 50/1 on the same horse. (sp 25/1)

Once bet £500 on a photo finish, it dead heated!

 

[Nibble]

£2

I lost it.
