What did Judas gain by betraying Jesus?
Judas did not gain anything but misery and damnation for betraying Jesus. Judas may have thought that the 30 silver pieces were a gain, until he realized his mistake. As foretold, Judas gave back the silver, and killed himself upon learning of his mistake.

What did Judas gain by betraying Jesus?
Even the thirty pieces of silver which he had counted as gain became loss, besides losing his life. He became a public ridicule to the chief priests and the eders. His confession to them was useless, as the power to forgive lay squarely with the son of God he had betrayed. If Judas had humbled himself to Jesus with such a confession of having betrayed innocent blood, I believe Jesus would still have found enough space to forgive him, but he Judas chose to commit suicide.

What did Judas gain by betraying Jesus?
Judas received 3o pieces of silver and later returned it back to the Pharisees, its means Judas gain nothing rather than hell fire. Because he hanged himself and even Christ foretold what will happen to the person who will betrayed him.

What did Judas gain by betraying Jesus?
Nothing. He was one step of the ladder to fulfill what was foretold by Prophet Jeremiah. If he had not returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders they would not have bought the potter`s field.

What did Judas gain by betraying Jesus?
Nothing. He had stressed himself out from the sense of guilt he was carrying around from betraying Jesus, he had nothing else to do but hang himself.

Judas Hangs Himself

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor. Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, "I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood."
But they said, "What is that to us? You see to it."
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself. The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, "It's not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood." They took counsel, and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in. Therefore that field was called "The Field of Blood" to this day. Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
"They took the thirty pieces of silver,
the price of him upon whom a price had been set,
whom some of the children of Israel priced,
and they gave them for the potter's field,
as the Lord commanded me."

Matthew 27:1-10
