Biggest Ever Gambling Win

Here are the biggest jackpots in the history of gambling and other gambling records ever recorded in the Book: The biggest slots jackpots. 15 November, 1998, Megabucks casino. The largest jackpot ever won.
The third biggest win in casino history came from a man called Elmer Sherwin in 1989 and also 2005. That's right; he made his name with two multimillion dollar successes. In 1989, the largest progressive jackpot called ‘Megabucks’ was introduced. The title speaks for itself and was an instant success in casinos.
This is the biggest win ever recorded at Casumo online casino, breaking the previous record by almost double, and is the fifth multi-million-pound jackpot to be won on the site this year.
According to one source, the biggest Craps win at Caesar Palace, Las Vegas is $2m, supposedly won by one of Hollywood’s top executive. This guy was high rolling with working bets of $160K. That’s all we know, but if a big Craps film comes out soon, I’m going to place a bet that this guy has something to do with it.

Gloria McKenzie Gloria McKenzie became the largest single winner of the Powerball lottery in the United States when she scooped $590 million in May 2013. The Florida grandmother, 84, beat odds of 1 in 175 million to win the jackpot.

Anonymous UK bettor bets $5 million on Donald Trump to win re-election
On Monday, a different anonymous bettor wagered over $1 million on Joe Biden
Public has been heavily favoring Trump, while sharp money bets side with Biden

Just yesterday, Betfair said that one anonymous bettor in the United Kingdom wagered over $1 million on Democratic Joe Biden to win the US presidential election. The wager was the largest political bet ever recorded. Less than 24 hours later, though, the record has already been shattered. Another unidentified British gambler has placed an even larger bet on the other side of the race for the White House.

That bettor has wagered $5 million on Donald Trump winning re-election. According to the New York Post, the bettor used bookmakers registered in Curacao on Trump at 37/20 odds. Those are the equivalent of +185 American odds, which means the bettor will win around $15 million if Trump is able to successfully win a second term on Election Day.

A report said that the bettor decided to raise the stakes after discussions with “Trump camp insiders.” So, there clearly isn’t a whole lot of science involved in the bet. A betting industry source told the Sun, “Word of this bet has done the rounds and we think it’s the biggest ever made on politics.”

Big Political Betting Interest in Europe

Betting on the outcome of an American election is illegal in the United States, but real money bets on politics are legal in the UK and elsewhere. The 2020 US election is expected to be the most popular political betting event in history.

Trump won the presidency back in 2016 despite facing even longer odds. Some bookmakers had Trump listed as a +400 underdog as late as Election Day before he staged his historic upset of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Trump won the election despite losing the popular vote by nearly three million.

While Trump is once again facing long odds, that hasn’t done much to cool the interest of the betting public. According to Oddschecker, about 71 percent of the money wagered on the outcome of the election in the last 24 hours has come in on Trump to win.

We saw a similar story in 2016. Sam Eaton of Oddschecker said,

“The 2020 election is following a very similar betting pattern to the one we witnessed back in 2016. The closer we got to Election Day, the more money came for Donald Trump.”

Paddy Power reported that well over 90 percent of wagers placed on the election within the past day have come in on the incumbent to win re-election.

Sharp Money on Biden

Odds have shifted wildly at a variety of political betting sites in recent days. While Trump was heavily favored to win re-election for most of his first term in office, Biden enters Election Day as a steady favorite. Biden is listed as a -210 favorite to become the 46th president at BetOnline, while MyBookie has Biden at -180.

While the public may be jumping all over themselves to buy Trump at plus-money, much of the sharp money in Europe has come in on Biden to win. Paul Krishnamurty, Betfair’s political analyst, said that all 10 of the biggest bets at Betfair Exchange have come in on Biden. Eight of those bets have come within the past two weeks.

Been playing craps a few years and have won a couple of thousand here and there. Last week I bought it for $1000 and started playing. Was down to $300 when the dice headed my way. I usually stick to the pass line and 6/8. I hopped the 6's for $90 and hit 3-3, that's where the fun started. Pressed the bet up to $180 and hit another 6. Went up to $300 and hit 3-3 again, and the rolled a forth 6. Crazy! Proceeded to make six points and a bunch of numbers I bet on. Cashed in $11,800.

Thanks for this post from:

Nice hand!

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Congratulations. I imagine the whole table went wild.

They did when the third 6 hit, no one else was betting on it though. When I looked around after my roll it didn't seem like the table made much money, which surprised me. It's a smaller casino and I've noticed that a lot of players either bet the field or chase the hard ways. I must have rolled for 40 minutes which is a career long for me. I was blessed to be at a table in the Palazzo where a guy rolled for over an hour. There must have been close to $30,000, probably more on the players side that night.

You had 300 left an you hopped 6 for 90?
I guess it's possible.

$30 $30 $30 on the three hops. Had $25 on the line too. Had some more money in my pocket, main reason for hopping the 6 was to try and get a hit and not reload.

As a professional craps player I have had many great wins. I usually grind at craps although once I colored up for $75 at the Mohegan Sun.

50 dollar hard eight parlayed 3 x.. 50 to 500, 500 paid 4500, then pressed to 2k and hit another 18k.

$25 passline, I was shooting and made 12 passes in a row, worked it up to $1000 (no odds) by pressing according to the Fibonacci series. Cashed out +4200 or so. Harrah's Tahoe, a long, long time ago.

Most recent trip went well. Shot 7 sessions on strip buying in for $1k each time, $500 more on two occasions. Ended UP on all but one session when I was dragged away for dinner plans. Here to fore, say it with me - 'F*#k food, I'm shooting!' Finished the trip up $5k after tips and being down at every Pai Gow poker attempt.
Best run was at Mandalay for around 30+ minutes. It's fun to hear the the stick say 'He's still shooting,' to his relief on dealer rotation. In for $1k out with $2.6k.
My last play was at NYNY, total session was over 4 hours, it was a grind most of the time and did require the extra buy in. It finally got late enough that several players bailed, leaving 3 or 4 of us. A few minutes later it was my turn. I think I made one point then had a come out streak with 8-10 naturals. Went on to make several points enough to get ahead by about $1k.
My play is strict, contract bets only, pass and two come, full odds over $15. (plus tips)
