I have a grand on tonight's Turkey vs Moldova game - stand to win £200 for a Turkey win, which seemed like free money. What's others biggest gamble/bet?

You must be minted to risk a grand for 200

Not minted, accumulated winnings. Not my whole pot obviously but more than I would normally wager.

I am not saying that by the way.
I once had a shilling each way on a horse. It lost. Dark days!

Probably a similar sized bet as in the first post

I know there's no such thing as a cert bet, but this did seem like too good an opportunity to pass up on! At 3-0 I will resist the temptation to trade out

I wouldn't say I gamble large sums of money. £5, 10 not much more than that. Had a result in 2009 on the Grand
National. A bloke at work kept saying Mon mone to me all week. I thought he was mad. 100-1. No chance. On the morning of the race I thought I'd give it a go. Stuck a tenner on to win and thought I won't see that again. I never even watched the race . Came home and found out it had bloody won. That was a good weekend.

Nope, not here - betting generally is a mug's game, but sometimes there are punts that are just too good to pass up. This was one of them!
No one coming clean on large stakes placed with bookies.
Didn't realise that betting was so embarrasing to own up to.

When they opened up betting on the WWE on Paddy Power I joined and put 500 quid an accumulator for Wrestlemania 28, I had just started watching it again properly and I was adamant of the results. I was in a student bar watching it and when Punk made Jericho tap I about had a break down, won 2 grand off that and never bet more than a 5er here or there since. For those interested I had every match barring John Cena v The Rock, I didn't risk that one.

Not from me. I got lucky once . Had a couple of small wins in between. Don't really gamble that much.
