As the title suggests, what is your biggest gambling win? Clean up at bingo one night? Bet on Crows for the 97 flag? Pick GWS in round one?

Pretty small for me - a couple of hundred on a $1 poker machine whilst on holidays a few years ago.
 
Picked the trifecta in the 1997 Adelaide Cup - but only had one unit on it :oops: Still won about $300 though.
 
Saw a guy playing pokies once when he was half cut win 25k on a dollar machine. Guy gets a $125 win after free games and tries to gamble it. He picks x200 and hits the ****ing thing. Pretty sure he hit the payout limit though.

When I was 18 I won $30 on the pokies after putting a dollar in it. My mate and I went and bought two buckets of KFC and tried to eat the whole lot on the walk home. We made ourselves sick.

Got a job at the Adelaide Casino not long after that so have never played pokies since and have no interest in betting on sports or anything.

Have had a couple of house games of poker and I've won a couple of them, which would have had maybe $35 or so in the kit ($5 each)

Yep, come at me - I win big
 
Turned a $5 chip into $4500 at the Canberra casino in about 40 mins once. Biggest win on a single hand was $1600 during that 40 mins.

Curious as to what you did with the buckets...

We tried to manfully eat the entire contents on our hour or so walk home.

It embarrasses me to admit that quite a bit of chicken was wasted and some ended up in letterboxes of people we went to school with...
 
Two stand out for me with different sizes

When I was around 19 me and some friends spent all night at a blackjack table at crown, ran $100 up to a bit over $1000 over the night. Was easily my biggest win there, we all won and had a shitload of fun. Played a few $300 hands that lost, but was stoked to lock up a thousand

A few years ago now I was in Vegas on my last night before going to Atlanta. Won about 13-14k that night. Started at the Wynn, ran a couple of hundred up to around 1300. From there went to the Cosmopolitan and left there with about 4500 winning about 2k on roulette and the rest on craps. Went from there to the Aria where I was staying and played some more craps, ended up running it all up to around 14k for the last night. Flew out at about 6am that morning without sleep

Theres a small beat though. Coming back was the day that Qantas muppet grounded the airline (we were flying Qantas) so had to spend about 3k on flights going via Thailand to get back for a wedding

Got a Royal Flush playing Carribean Stud poker at Jupiter's last year. $1 bet for a 226k return. Don't think I will top that.
 
I ask myself that same question :confused:

Did the expected, paid a chunk off the house, bought a car, a few holidays and pretty much pi**ed the rest up a wall.
 
Won $7000 on a dollar pokies betting max. Got free games and hit a line of something.

In hindsight probably the worst thing that ever happened to me. Bring young and stupid I thought I could replicate it. Never got close

The old man bought me a lotto ticket for Christmas a few years back, won $1,500 off it.

Had one at the casino where I put $20 in a machine and got almost $500 back

Also won about $400 off a $1 trifecta on the greyhounds a few years back

Blew the winnings faster then I got them but that's how I roll

I am curious to how this works...Have not played this type of poker before...Is this against the dealer or other players? How is the pot so big off a 1 dollar bet? What table has a minimum 1 dollar bet? The odds for a Royal Flush are 226,000 to 1?

you play a ridiculously juiced poker game head to head versus the dealer, normally with a $10-15 min bet, and the $1 bet is a side bet that goes into a jackpot pool where a royal flush pays out the jackpot and a straight flush pays out 10%

Multi player game against a dealer. To play for the jackpot was $1 ontop of the minimum $5 ante. The jackpot started at 25k and increased until it went off. Once it goes off it resets. The odds of a royal flush are much higher than 226,000 to 1.

Thanks. I thought they'd be higher than that so it added more to my confusion about the pay out. :p
