So this means if I bet on any of the moneypot plinko games then there is a very tiny chance to win big money? Not a bad thing for us players but looks like odds are still very tough to beat. These bets are crazy look at dem odds.

At plinkopot you can set your own payout table, so long as the house edge isn't under 0.9%. So whether you have a tiny chance of winning big money really depends on the payout table you select. MoneyPot allows you to set the payout multiplier to over 1000x, but plinkpot apparently doesn't.

If you set the payout table to:

  [1.0656, 1.0585, 1.0368, 1.0155, 0.9616, 0.9841, 0.9895, 0.9918, 0.9962,
   0.9918, 0.9895, 0.9841, 0.9616, 1.0155, 1.0368, 1.0585, 1.0656]

then the house edge is 0.9997% and I believe moneypot will risk up to 99.974% of its bankroll per bet.

So in theory it is possible for someone to win almost all of the bankroll in a single bet.

But in practice to win 150 BTC when the highest payout is only 1.0656x you would have to be betting
  150 / (1.0656 - 1) = 2286.58
over 2.2k BTC per bet...

Somewhat more practically, the default 'orange' row at plinkpot has these payouts:

  [23, 9, 3, 2, 1.5, 1.2, 1.1, 1, 0.4, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 2, 3, 9, 23]

and moneypot will risk up to 83.90% of its bankroll per bet on that line.

To win 150 BTC at 23x you need to bet just 150.0 / (23 - 1) = 6.818 BTC per ball. (And get lucky).

I see so plinkopot max at 999x and betterbets has 9999x which means a much smaller bet could win large part of bankroll now the odds must be astronomical to win this.
