When it comes to gambling, whether it’s slots or skins, Felix “xQc” isn’t shy about putting major money on the line. On June 27, the streamer spent some time putting up expensive CS: GO skins for trades. He was trying to win a Factory New Dragon Lore worth over $14k.
Unfortunately, his exploits did not go well, since the streamer instead landed a $50 dollar skin, “Blood in the Water.”
While moving a ton of his cosmetics to an in-game storage unit, xQc was talking about doing some skin gambling as well. A friend in his voice chat was talking about some skins being worth a few grand. This grabbed the streamer’s attention again, who pulled up an image of what he could potentially win.
The streamer loaded up his CS: GO trade-up with about $6k worth of gun skins and made the trade-up. He admitted that it was a pretty pricey trade-up, but there was a potential for a great payout. He compared it to six spins when gambling, so he knew the worth of what he was doing, making it a $6k trade-up.

Others felt bad watching the streamer gamble away $6k worth of valuable CS: GO skins in order to try and get something better. Another commenter said
