Is there a way to get really high beta in a portfolio?

Is it possible to get over a beta of 3 consistency? I tried selecting the 30 highest beta stock over like the past year on Q500 and Q1500, QTradableStocksUS . I only got like a beta of 1.5. I want the highest risk/reward tradeoff, possible.

Just use 3x leverage if you're wanting a consistent beta of 3. You're going to struggle to find really high beta stocks in Q(1)500.

Is there a different country I can use for a beta of 3?

Just use SPXS/SPXL if you're wanting high risk high reward, seems like a bad idea though.
