What was the biggest bet of your life ? Did it win or did it lose, I’m assuming you lost. My biggest bet I ever made I actually lost 30K on Cleveland -120 MLB June this year.
10K under AZ 9.5 wins back in Jake (the Snake) Plummer days. But those days are long gone. Now a $5 parlay bettor for the most part with an occasional $15-$25 Straight wager. I like following your progress in your heavy hitter wagers JDS. GL moving forward.

How long did your high stakes betting last ?

probably about 10 foolish years. I just don't have the discipline like you do. Not all the time but threw around nickels and dime for awhile. Had 3K on Nebraska (tommy Frazier days) over MIA in Orange bowl back in the day. Won that bet along with AZ under. But dropped 6K in a drunk mode on CHI over EDM in hockey in the playoffs. EDM took a 6- nill lead. Not a good thing to wake up to. LOL.

10 years is a long time. Last year I was only betting nickels and dimes at the beginning of football season. Went on a 34-13 run and grew my bankroll where I was betting up to 2.5K. For me to continue to do this at this level I have to win at a solid clip, or I’ll lower my unit size again. It’s a cycle for me I guess.

Wasn't every week but from mid 20's to mid 30's I was in that mode. But I was not a disciplined selective Player like you seem to be. For instance, I got killed on the CHI/UTAH Finals back in the day. SO GL moving forward JDS. I enjoy watching your progress from the sidelines so to speak. I hope you do well. Just be wise. I also like the FISH THUR night.

I am more into small coin turning into major score so I play contests like the one I told you about. Did drop in $275 on 2 split entries with a chance to win about 5K or more. So get a whole season worth action for $275. But for MGM and Caesars small coin being wagered.

Just heard this song and it made me think of your story. Maybe one day you’ll be back in the ”high life” again aka high stakes 👍.

The only person that unit size should matter to is you JJ. It doesn't matter if you're betting $100 a game or $10 a game. As long as you win. That's all that matters. Don't play more than you can afford

OK JDS good one. But in reality I can't see it happening again as I just don't have the mentality of a high stakes gambler. Had to learn a tough lesson in my youth. THX

I am a small player now too. I do small bets with promos. I also do small risk/high return multi sport future parlays. I can't take the pressure and afford to lose on big bets. My biggest winning day ever was on a ML Dog MLB Reverse that paid over 3K. My biggest losing day ever was on 3 NFL games and lost over 4K.
