Yeah, very much agree with you, 1000x is alot of multiplier, as that implies that the gambler will be doubling his or her money by 1000 times, and if for example, the gambler has a base bet of like $10 to $50 dollars, and ended up hitting the 1000x, thats a lot of money for the gambler, and one that could be life changing depending on the country the gambler is playing from.
Man, you're right a gambler would earn a lot if he gets 1000x multiplier with $10 or $50 bets. But, it's not easy to get such multiplier if he/she isn't extremely lucky. 1000x of $10 will be $10k which is quite good amount for many people not only for those who are living in third world countries but also for those who are living in first world countries. And, that of $50 would be $50k which is a lot of money for anyone from anywhere I guess. in the end only someone who's very lucky will get such multipliers.
It’s true that hitting 1000x would be a gamer changer for some people but putting $10 - $50 in a single game in plinko is crazy!
I have seen people do that and what comes to my mind is that - they may be super rich to be able to do that, I can’t imagine someone with just a $1000 bankroll staking $50 on plinko before he even blinks his money would be gone. Majority of people you see staking high and hitting 1000x on social media are being sponsored and it would not be a wise decision to increase the amount you stake just because you saw someone who won a huge multiplier after staking big.
