Bet 10,000$ on myself on race, got first place, and lost 10,000&#

[BenecioDelToro]

Has anyone else experienced this? Glitch? I'm not sure, but it was a 6 minute race and I was hella pissed when I found out I lost 10,000$ on my bet when I WON THE MATCH.

[darkwar854]

Did you bet on negative odds?

[billy-pilgrim]

sorry but you have to admit this is kinda funny

[luisniko]

That's bummer. Sorry for you.

 

Personally i never use this kind of rinky-dink feature because I know when something gone wrong, rockstar won't care about my lost money.

[watchclock]

I think the joy of hearing that story for all of us completely outweighs the awful experience it entailed for you!

Guess you owed someone money

Did you bet on negative odds?

No, I did not. I bet on myself to win. In retrospect the situation is kind of hilarious especially with the amount of raging afterwards, but it still sucks ass.

[homeskillet]

betting has been f'd up forever

Well that sucks.

[Lucius Aelius]

Wow, some people... Sorry dude that sucks, I at least don't think that's funny. Also good to know, I don't have any money to spare currently so I don't think I'll be placing any bets this weekend just to be safe.

Wanna spend an hour doing a 16x Coveted playlist? With the $288,000 you'd make, you could bet on yourself 28 times, and still walk away with $8,000.

[saintsrow]

Is this the bold new direction that we've heard so much about?

[matajuegos01]

I normally don't say this but:

 

LOL

[GTAMYBABIES]

I've been betting on myself and last time I did win I lost money as well.

[Mr. Rocko]

Lmao...

 

 

That sucks.

We need more info here.

 

What were your odds? Who did the other people bet on, and how much?

 

Just because you bet big on yourself to win and did, doesn't mean you'll make money. Betting alters your odds at winning, and I can imagine a $10,000 bet will make you odds on safe bet.

[luisniko]

Could it be because Rockstar don't want you to bet on yourself to avoid quick money making?

One other person bet and he also got a 10,000$ deduction. There is no instance where if I bet on myself and win that I should lose money.

I would just forget about it since its only 10k,I easily spend around 20-50k on a single car paintjob or minor tweak

16x Coveted playlist

 

Why dont you put at least a Rumble with a Stocks and Scares in that playlist to break it up a little? Unless you like being tedious of course. Not even sure if you can put them missions in?

Lazy mode activated.

The trick to getting positive money in a bet is let the stupid people bet $10,000 while you bet $100. You'll lose money if you bet the maximum amount.

this^^

[redpoint]

I thought you could only bet up to $2,500 ?

 

Maybe you accidentally bet on another player?

 

But the betting feature is f*cked and pointless anyway

[Gforce]

the whole betting system is fundamentally flawed,

 

I lost money both times that I should have won in the past and that was enough for me to say "f*ck that feature"

Not always, but yes, this.

But you shouldnt lose money winning a huge bet, only earn less per dollar you put on the line.

 

Betting IS broken, I've lost money in all sorts of situations where I should have won, both betting on myself and others. Happens more often when you win though.

Leave the betting alone, they f*cked the whole system up 4 patches ago. Thank god R* makes videogames, and doesn't regulate the gambling industry.

I haven't tried since 1.13, but you can't add contact missions to playlists. In fact, as of 1.12, you can't even add Coveted to playlists anymore. But I can still play the ones (x6 and x16) I had from before.
