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.

It's 1 in 65536 to end up in the left hand position, and 1 in 32768 to end up in either of the outside positions. So not really "astronomical".

If you bet once per second you would hit one of the outside pockets every 9 hours or so.

Edit: on average, of course! I don't mean every 9 hours. I mean the average time between hits would be 9 hours in the (very) long run.
