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.
Yes, you're right it's somehow crazy to see that some people place bets of $10 to $50 dollars on Plinko because the game is quite risky and is highly a luck dependent game so chance of losing is way more than winning. The game can cause huge losses to such gamblers but when luck is in favor then they possibly get some good multipliers.
I don't know much about those sponsored people but I think I have seen some social media guys to win huge jackpots and you may be right about those. I would say that someone should first check his/her bankroll and then place bets because if you can't afford to lose the money that you're betting then you should not place a bet at first place. I would say one should only bet with the money that he/she can afford to lose.they
