I am not mad into gambling so have only won a few hundred here and there I think maybe 600 been the most.However I have won a few thousand playing poker,my biggest been $5k on line and about 2k live.
i won 3k on the horses once. also won 3.5k in the macau poker festival in cork,last month. but being honest, my losses far outweigh my wins on horses/football
300-400UKP at the Grand National the year Papillon won (2000). Was at LFC V Spurs game next day. Win paid for full weekend. My brother got LFC to win the treble @ 55/1 early in 2001. He was smiling for a long time after it. Thought he was mad at the time. He had last laugh.
I'm mad into poker. Have been playing for about 4-5 years now. This year, overall I'm up about 9 grand in total, with the biggest win being a 2,500 tournament in a casino. I very rarely play online though, feel its all a bit of a con. You can't beat a straight up live game with real people sitting in front of you.
my biggest win was 890euro, 20 euro accumalator,waiting on the chavs when the beat bolton 2-0 to win the league.
1800 USD online last year... Then put 500 on us to beat marseille at home and doubled it up with another team.. ouch

My biggest wins were about 300euro, twice on the Grand National! Just to prove that I am a real gambler! To be honest I went about 4 Grand Nationals in a row based solely on drawing a horse in my local pubs sweepstake, then sticking a further £5 or £10 each way on him in the bookies, depending on the odds! Few accumilators, but nothing too big, a return of 70 or 80 squid with a 1.50 or 2 euro a game bet, usually have the hard luck story of one result letting me down! Mate of mine had 11 game one saturday, all came in except the arsenal game...ouch!
to win that much you must have put a few bob down ,fair balls to ye, couldn't do it myself. Dont gamble but i did win 1000 on baros @50/1 in the euros a few years back.
Probably only about 300 on a single bet. I'd say overall, out of lifetime bets though, I'm still up (not that I bet that often)
i play mostly live poker (online too frustrsting 4me) my biggest win was bout 3K over the course of a week then lost it the followin weeks.
