04 May 2022 - Gambler turns 60p bet into £157,865.59 predicting every result correctly (https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/gambler-turns-60p-bet-15786559-23857222)
Quote
A gambler turned a 60p bet into £157,865.59 this weekend when two Premier League teams came from behind. The punter correctly predicted all 16 results on Saturday in the Premier League and Championship at odds of over 263,109/1, and while the majority came in with relative ease, late comebacks were needed in two 3pm top-flight games.

"What makes the acca even more impressive is that there was just one draw across all sixteen games, and our customer managed to pick it out; truly remarkable stuff and we're delighted for them."

How can you explain such fortunate winning happening for real? It looks unlikely and unrealistic even for a Hollywood movie script!
Imagine the sequence of events needed in order to deliver the results that would perfectly fit the predictions of this impressive lucky gambler.

Actually, I guess luck purely can't explain this event, there must be something else! Or are these fake news?

When luck is on the works then having these situations or events or happenings could really be possible but its really on a very rare situation on which something that you could really see everyday.
Somehow you could really raise up really some questions in regarding on this one on how it did really happen because basing on the order of each bets then you could really tell
that its impossible on how to get win in a very long row of selection considering that not all would be surely in money line.

The odds were 263.109/1. This means that for every million bets placed with such odds, approximately 4 will be winning. Given the fact that millions of betters make hundreds of millions of bets every week and so on for months / years, such events are inevitable. Few people are fond of such huge odds, but there are such amateurs, so from time to time we see such news.

It's really hard to explain that, extreme luck or he is a time traveler but things like this happen I would like to believe it's more of extreme luck and will be almost impossible to hit again, we know in this world anything and everything can happen, because there is such a thing as a miracle or extreme luck and the guy happen to hit that.

Insane win. That lucky winner must have been a high roller or someone with a high rank account in that platform. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think accounts with lower ranks will not be allowed to bet with such high odds.

Now that is what i call pure luck. Some crazy bets but the guy even putted 60 pounds and that aint a small amount honestly . But to bet 60 pounds on such a crazy bet needs some guts. Hope the guy enjoys the money and spends it well. Serious luck just happened.

Yupp , the bbetslip might come from the one who did it in a routine , like making the multi-bet once every week for years ... and it's just hit by few days ago , a really good luck in those people , but nobody knows indeed on how much he has done making such bbets , could be a winning of £157,865.59 mean nothing if he has lost millions dollar previously.

i have experienced something like that in the past , winning on a 100x multi bbet back to bback in 2 consecutive weeks but actually have lost my huge bet 4 times bigger than the 100x winning amount , so yeah nobbody knows what might he have bbeen through.

Probably he is study so hard about all the team participating on that league since he predict 16 matches accurately plus the draw which is surely insane. Luck play an important part to his parlay but we should also gives credit to his good analysis skills and not just pure luck because it’s very hard to become lucky on a 16 matches parlay without any idea on the teams you are betting with. I think he is doing this kind of parlay many times before he hit this one lucky bet.

I have seen some major parlay wins in the past decade and you could even see in the cryptocurrency gambling sites where users post their winning bets by playing huge parlay and these are pure luck. For a time period i used to play the same method but i was never lucky for a huge parlay like that, either you see a huge upset and everything comes crashing. So these are once in a lifetime golden opportunities and i wish i will be hit by luck and fortune like they do  :D.

Theoretically, such a win is possible, so I see no reason why this could be fake news.
It seems that it is not known how many coupons this person filled in, so theoretically he could fill a lot of bet slips and this one combination just became lucky. This is truly unbelievable luck, but still possible.

Pretty sure that's 60 pence as well which is 0.6 pounds.

You always see these crazy parlays because they are inevitably going to happen given a large enough sample size, but you're probably not going to see yourself hit one of these in your lifetime.

Heck, even Drake has hit numerous crazy parlays on Stake - but he bets so much that it is bound to happen.

This is something very lucky, because among the 16 matches only one match ended as a draw and this guy hasade the right prediction on the bet. This won't happen that easier, luck had played a big role in his winning. Being lucky with gambling happens, but the same out of sports betting isn't an easy thing considering the gameplay that can change in no time.

It is not everyday that we can see a lucky person but yes, it is possible.
We don't need an explanation for this kind of winning, this is just combination of luck and knowledge of the bettor.
Remember, when it comes to sportsbetting, the more you know about sports, the higher your chance of getting the correct outcome.
But with a long list of bets, now, there's luck also on that. I can't even correctly answers those free bets offered by bookies.

I consider the knowledge of the game and praying for luck to play as the two big factors, the guy is betting too long that he developed an insight and he predicted something out of extraordinary something like what if because in the past kind of thing
something like this is inspiring it may be extraordinary but it does happen however rare it is, but if the same guy hit jackpot so similar to this, then its another story.

Honestly, reading this left me speechless. I don't know what analysis method the lucky winner used, it's crazy when all the guesses are right. That person is like having a time machine or a crystal ball that can see and read what will happen in the future. gambler with super crazy luck.

some people are calling this hit lucky, but it's not possible for him to be lucky, the guy must be someone who analyzes the games very well, he didn't choose games at random and won, I don't believe he would have done that and if he had done it random selection of games without doing any analysis of the game he would not have hit the games and won the bet, at least I say that because I like to make multi bets and from what I see in multi bets there is no such thing as luck, the person needs to analyze the games and choose the games that have the highest chance of hitting to be in the multi bet. congrats to this guy who hit all these games

Of course its luck unrealistic yes, but it happened so yeah one lucky guy.
I don't know, there are different hypothesis: fixed matches, time traveller, fake news, fate or supernatural influence which can't be understood or explained by the science... ;)

What most amazes me is that it's not like winning 16 times in a roll on dice, roulette or at any other gambling game. This gambler managed to pick the only correct draw result among 16 games and also predicted correctly a match which changed the result at his favour at 92 minutes of gameplay!

Pretty sure that's 60 pence as well which is 0.6 pounds.

You always see these crazy parlays because they are inevitably going to happen given a large enough sample size, but you're probably not going to see yourself hit one of these in your lifetime.

Thank you. I was in doubt what "60p" could mean and presumed it should be "pound", but as you say, "pence" makes more sense. Changed the title of the thread taking your observation in account.

Then it's possible that he can hit another jackpot again if he has great analysis and insight he can do it over and over again he can be a god of gambling if he can repeat that peat again, I believe luck also has a factor on his winning, I hope they interview the guy so we can have an insight on how he won that jackpot.

The big question is how many attempts he made at such a task, if he tried to do similar every week for last twenty years then well done but not as unlikely as first attempt from someone who entered results randomly.   I always appreciate the underdog bets but the low stake size suggests to me he is in this game often and is happy to give away the small amounts in hope of that bigger pay off, some luck and yep bit of brains to know where best to predict scoring.

74 cents worth for anyone wondering

I would say that is pure luck but we don't know how many tries he did before getting all of that in one go. I would say it's his time to have it and taste the victory of pure luck he really deserve it but that's just insane if you imagine though. It looks like you are betting on a lottery and after with so many tries that takes you almost forever you finally win the jackpot. That's what it feels when winning like a jackpot in a lottery but what would he do after winning all of that? Probably gonna bet and keep playing again but who cares if it makes them happy they should as long as they don't abuse it that would make them suffer at the end.

Being lucky, it is always possible . But i hope he didn't spent too much money in it before he achieved this record because mostly gambler that i know they become successful but the amount what they spent before winning is higher than what amount of rewards they received afterwards, wherein, after how many attempts. and that is because of addiction.

Imagine how hard this game, it's literally a game of luck . :D

That guy must be can predict how much Bitcoin will worth on 2023 ::)

Predicting 16 match correctly without missed any single match is really insane, moreover he can predict which match will be draw. AFAIK bet on football isn't easy since draw is higher chance to happen, unlike boxing where draw is really hard or unlikely will happen. After getting huge payout, obviously he will keep betting with his money and he can just bet on favored clubs with huge money to earn easy money.

This is explained by the fact that, quite simply, improbable events end up occurring, and extremely improbable ones as well. With so many people playing the lottery every week, it is normal that someone will end up winning.

It can. You would see it differently if you had played millions of hands of (online) poker (https://www.poker-king.com/answers/royal-flush-odds/).

".. the odds of hitting a royal flush would be 4/2,598,960, which would work out to 1/649,740."

In other words, they are smaller than the jackpot in the news, and I, in the time I have been playing, have already seen it several times. The last time was one or two weeks ago and it didn't help me at all because the opponents had not anything and folded, I only got the blinds.

Well, this is a hice hit with 74c bet! Surely this is not a hit from the first time! Something like this is tried from week to week, and so on for years! It's probably some passionate gambler who bets every week and he finally managed to hit the jackpot with one of his crazy parlays! And this is incredible parlay definitely, going for this odds is crazy, someone really needs to be a sports freak to pick all this game and predict the outcome! As OP quotted, to pick one draw game from all this games is something!

Congratulations to the winner, when I see such a nice hit, I get a desire to try something similar!

I think he can really pick the sports bet right because he can win a huge amount of money. But don't forget, the luck factor is also with him so that can help him to get big wins. Maybe he knows a lot of things so he can pick the right team that will win. That's really amazing because not everyone can have the right choice. Maybe he is a time traveler from the future lol. But we also don't know whether the news is true or fake.

I love seeing results like these but as others have said, for every 250,000 such bets that are placed - only 1 will have an outcome like this. The sportsbooks are making big money from statistical analysis which works very well in the long term, although they will have occasional losses like this. It's still a fantastic result and incredible to make a prediction on 16 different events in such a short span, anyone who has played these freebie games such as "select 6 teams who will score 3 or more goals" will know how incredibly difficult hitting just a small number of results can be. Let's be honest though, it'd make for a rather bland hollywood film - some guy fills out a betting slip, wins, end of movie.

You must be joking? Do you really believe in the analysis that allowed him to win 1 in 263,000 odds? It is absolutely impossible and unbelievable (such an analysis), it is pure luck. If it was an analysis, then he could bet with more modest odds of 2-5 and quickly ruin all the bookmakers.

Things like this can always happen. In fact, it's just some kind of math and probability. When there are so many people who bet 60 cents, there is always 1 person who does win the jackpot with his bet. But in total, relatively more money comes in at the bookmakers. Of course you just don't hear those stories come out.

Its not impossible to happen in reality, but its rare to witness for a  very lucky person.
It is truly impressive but only if it's real. Sports betting mostly relies in knowledge and experience. It can be that the guy is a long term bettor on this scene and he already mastered the way sports betting works. That increases his chance to win. Predicting 1 to 2 matches is still easy to predict IMO and even 3 to 5 matches are still highly possible but higher than that is already a pain in the ass.

You need lady luck to stay beside you to be able to pull off a successful win. This guy did predict all 16 bets correctly which was insane. I think a moment like this only happens once in a lifetime and he might not be able to do that again so must spend his winnings wisely.

It was very big amount,he had win.Because gambling made many to loss.But it will happen only who play without tactics.Gambling was based on the probability to win.Predictions should be made on a good way.If their any small mistake was made with the gambling,surely their was no doubt of loss.Every things need to be analysis and the casino involved trust.

some people are calling this hit lucky, but it's not possible for him to be lucky, the guy must be someone who analyzes the games very well, he didn't choose games at random and won,

Gambling is a game of probability and the instance stated by OP does not rely on luck alone.  I think he is a huge fan of the game, and had years of experience analyzing the game output. Making his game prediction more reliable.

I don't believe he would have done that and if he had done it random selection of games without doing any analysis of the game he would not have hit the games and won the bet, at least I say that because I like to make multi bets and from what I see in multi bets there is no such thing as luck, the person needs to analyze the games and choose the games that have the highest chance of hitting to be in the multi bet. congrats to this guy who hit all these games
Luck is still one of the elements of gambling.  It is that in this kind of gambling game if luck is paired with good analysis, the chance of winning is exponentially increased.

That guy must be can predict how much Bitcoin will worth on 2023 ::)

Predicting 16 match correctly without missed any single match is really insane, moreover he can predict which match will be draw. AFAIK bet on football isn't easy since draw is higher chance to happen, unlike boxing where draw is really hard or unlikely will happen. After getting huge payout, obviously he will keep betting with his money and he can just bet on favored clubs with huge money to earn easy money.
not only bitcoin price... for sure that guy can predict who will be the UCL's champion this season :D.  even i, who spend hours analyzing the chances of a team's victory, often miss predictions.  my brain is so speculating, does that guy have a supercomputer from the future (a bit of my crazy wild imagination) ::)

an impressive win for the gambler. some members mentioned that with the number of people gambling daily/weekly it is inevitable for this to happen. that being said wins like this are impressive as hell, especially turning a mere 60 pence into 157k+. I just hope he won't waste the money he won irresponsibly. I've seen, read, and heard people wasting their money after getting a big win.

Being lucky, it is always possible . But i hope he didn't spent too much money in it before he achieved this record because mostly gambler that i know they become successful but the amount what they spent before winning is higher than what amount of rewards they received afterwards, wherein, after how many attempts. and that is because of addiction.

Imagine how hard this game, it's literally a game of luck . :D


What I'm sure of a gambler before he developed insight and an analytical mind on the games will have to spend a lot of money but once he established and become consistent in his analysis there will always be a chance of winning or not losing a lot, of course, he spends a lot of money but there's a possibility that he can do it again if he analyzes it correctly again and luck on his side, luck goes to the gambler who knows his game.

Actually, I guess luck purely can't explain this event, there must be something else! Or are these fake news?
It is not as difficult to explain as it may seem, for  example millions of predictions are made about the movements of bitcoin during the next months and years, and with such a huge number of predictions then someone is going to be able to accurately predict what the bitcoin market will do, does this means that they are great traders? Not really, most likely they were just lucky and nothing more, which is what we are seeing here as well.

Wow. Where did those bets come from? Those are too accurate. The bettor had all the luck in the world for correctly predicting every single one of all the 16 matches. That was hilarious. The gambler was really meant to win every bet of his with all the come from behind wins and the draws. His bets were like dictated on him by somebody who knows every single outcome of the matches. This happens once in a blue moon. It seems he is really fated to make more than a hundred thousand pounds out of his 60 pence.

That is life and that is luck, but know that as people talk to people about this, it is just a means gambling sites are promoted and advertised for more people to try their luck with accumulated bets which will most likely lead to a lost bet. The riskier path is when someone is betting with high amount of money to accumulate bets, losses will teach such people a lesson though as it is not appropriate. But if it is long accumulated bet or few or just one or two bets, it is very important to know how we should use the amount of money we can afford to lose. I prefer a single bet with a single game or two but less than three.

I've tried betting like that and rarely managed to get 3 results in a row right, so this is insane. If the story is true, congratulations to the winner.

Now that is what i call pure luck. Some crazy bets but the guy even putted 60 pounds and that aint a small amount honestly . But to bet 60 pounds on such a crazy bet needs some guts. Hope the guy enjoys the money and spends it well. Serious luck just happened.

It is. You can't get everything right like that with knowledge or skill. He went with his gut I guess and the gut was telling him the right thing. Don't think that you can now do the same and repeat his success. This is like winning the lottery.

That is definitely the craziest combi bet I have ever heard about. Predicting 16 results is insane and involves a lot of luck. The only sad part is that he only bet 0.6 GBP, if he bet a few GBP he would be a millionaire now. To succeed with such kind of a bet he must be a big football fan. Without a good knowledge about all the teams I don't think you can succeed. Another question would be how many bets he places each week. Maybe he coveres a lot of different results each week. With such a small amount and huge payouts you could make hundred of bets each week as long as you score one big one. It must be luck, because how could you have insider information for 16 games? It's too much, maybe there is one or two fixed games from time to time, but not all. And if he really had insider information he would have been a much larger sum than 0.6.

Unlike with lotteries this kind of bets needs to assess each game, and with that numbers of legs it's not easy to take everything correctly and like both of you whatever we call it that's a fortune that will change the life of this winning bettor, with such amount of money he can established business that will allow him to add more fortune in his life, unless he will continue chasing and lose everything back which is not far to happen same with those who got their chance of winning in a lottery and ended up being poor for wasting too much.

This isn't impossible because it's gambling and you win by luck.

Personally, I love to try my luck as well in sports betting, and that is by putting plenty of parlays, sometimes my parlay would reach 1000/1 and I just feel comfortable betting on that since I don't spend that much money on parlay bet.

I can bet 1usd and aim to win $1,000, or even more.

For me though, i'll never go for a parlay that long as my limit is probably around 4-5 legs but hats off to him for going that deep with so many legs and congrats to him hopefully he's up by a lot and recovered all of his previous losses.

The man previously analyzed the team he chose as a parlay bet, luckily his predictions were all right. No one missed anything, what an attractive man with above average intelligence. In the past many people did that too but none of them made the news in various media, Parlay gambling is indeed an interesting catch to discuss, because of all parlays the probability of success is only 1%. smart.

That's honestly shocking.

Most of the times even the predictions done by the most experts is not on point but this guy managed to do this much he might as well start a website and people would definitely sign up for it.

This was one of those lucky shots, and they are totally possible, I remember once when a guy bet to all the underdogs on a UFC event, and he win that parlay, the profit was huge too.

I think the bettor was chasing the max win on the casino, and the fact that he win was like winning the lottery. You know, these things sometimes are possible with the right luck.

He got all the luck in the world for choosing all the right 16 picks and for less than $1 he got that much reward.  It must be his last money/bet of the day yet he won the parlay. I know the feeling of being lucky even for a small amount like winning some mBTC from the Games and rounds of the forum and I wanna bet it again to win more. A good advice for him, is to spend the money to something worth buying and don't gamble it all.

BTW it actually won relatively little. In Italy there is a game called Totocalcio where you have to guess 13 results.
Well in the past (90s) a winner was able to take home 2.5 million euros (at the time, not discounted for inflation!)
today those who guess such a prize easily wins between 100 and 200 thousand euros (we are talking about 13 results and not 16 ;) ::) )

Unfortunately, we will never know how many bets on such odds he made before. It is possible that his "journey" is already quite old and he has spent enough money to consider this win as natural. Although, on average, judging by my acquaintances and other cases of such crazy winnings, usually beginners get winnings with such odds because only they can think of making such a bet. Usually this is done "for fun".

When luck is on the works then having these situations or events or happenings could really be possible but its really on a very rare situation on which something that you could really see everyday.
Somehow you could really raise up really some questions in regarding on this one on how it did really happen because basing on the order of each bets then you could really tell
that its impossible on how to get win in a very long row of selection considering that not all would be surely in money line.
That just proves that gambling isn't just about luck, good thinking analysis and skills also matters.

Generally, gambling is all about luck but there are exceptions for some lucky gamblers. There are few gamblers aka high rollers in the Stake sports community, these users are able to hit the highest multi of the month a few times in a year. Last time one user won over $20k with a $5 bet and has seen dozens of winning odds over 5000x. Instinct is the main controller in such cases, these users keep tracking each league, team, and player and hunt for the biggest odds on each event. Having one winning bet slip covers all possible losses plus profit and possible promo money.

With these Gamblers patience is a big positive factor, because once we loss we'll get into emotional blackout and end it going for high bet values. These gamblers never do it, yesterday I was playing plinko. It was really fun, but beyond certain limit it triggers our patience as continuously it gives 0.2X payout.

If someone is able to predict correctly the results of 10 matches, why not pick 16? It is simply a matter of probability. Of course, the probability of hitting 16 results is extreme and it is certainly don't hit that often, but it's possible, so I think that's a real win.

Analysis depends too but basically gambling is about luck, especially while staking accumulated matches in just a single bet, it is basically pure luck and nothing more. Although, right thinking and appropriate analyses can help to some level but there are better prediction sites that make few wrong analyses and people that still bet and just lose. If an underdog won a big club, that shows an evidence that gambling is still luck because anyone can lose at anytime.


If someone is able to predict correctly the results of 10 matches, why not pick 16? It is simply a matter of probability. Of course, the probability of hitting 16 results is extreme and it is certainly don't hit that often, but it's possible, so I think that's a real win.
The more the matches the more the chance of losing. I remembered a day a brother and his younger brother played bet, they are friend of mine, the brother gave his young brother to play a bet, the brother just added some good matches long, just a match made him lose while his elder brother won the bet of about 11 odds. The lesser the accumulation the more chances to win.

This is pure luck gambling win and have seen such instances where you put relatively small amount for bet and it turns out to be making huge profit bags for you which is what happened with this player and he must be enjoying at the highest possible excitement levels.This is why we called gambling high risk high reward but luck is the dominant factor here that plays the main game.

Once luck drop at your side, you'll never imagine how big it can bring you.

This lucky bettor, if he really exist won a huge amount of money that he can enjoy with his family or whoever he wanted to spend
that amount, they can easily change their lifestyle or, if they are good and practical, they can use it to change their life forever.
Just don't use it back to gambling or try to find alternative ways for that amount of winning to work for you in a passive way.

Yes, it is a good decision to use a big win to realize what has not been achieved and change a happier and more luxurious life.

Luck is hard to come by so don't waste it changing your life which is much better than before, and if you use it again to bet I am sure you will lose everything and regret it because that is the hardest test when winning bets.

04 May 2022 - Gambler turns 60p bet into £157,865.59 predicting every result correctly (https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/gambler-turns-60p-bet-15786559-23857222)
Quote
A gambler turned a 60p bet into £157,865.59 this weekend when two Premier League teams came from behind. The punter correctly predicted all 16 results on Saturday in the Premier League and Championship at odds of over 263,109/1, and while the majority came in with relative ease, late comebacks were needed in two 3pm top-flight games.
Quote
"What makes the acca even more impressive is that there was just one draw across all sixteen games, and our customer managed to pick it out; truly remarkable stuff and we're delighted for them."


Totally insane, this is a remarkable bet. This could be made as a movie, maybe a single episode whoever this lucky winner is. I have never experienced winning an odd like that, what joy could it bring to you when your little bet gets you to that jackpot, awesome win.

What do you mean by predict? If someone can predict (correctly) the outcome of at least one game, then that's enough to make any money and no need to guess the more "complex" constructions of 10 or 16 games. But in fact, no one can do this (even bookmakers), everyone just "plays" with probabilities, and the result that is described in the first message of the thread is nothing more than luck.

How can you explain such fortunate winning happening for real? It looks unlikely and unrealistic even for a Hollywood movie script!
Imagine the sequence of events needed in order to deliver the results that would perfectly fit the predictions of this impressive lucky gambler.

Actually, I guess luck purely can't explain this event, there must be something else! Or are these fake news?

https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/3d-rendering-soccer-ball-on-500-euros-banknotes-picture-id1046682900?b=1&k=20&m=1046682900&s=612x612&w=0&h=qaLrQYkLGU_zyvFldY7fBv2FiKZ2NqKeFbZ7yRenXFY=https://i0.wp.com/www.presse.online/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Euro.jpg?fit=610%2C381&ssl=1

This is gambling, after all. The chances of this happening are so minuscule that this happens only once in a blue moon. Well, gambling is indeed gambling and the odds are the odds. There will be times where the odds may be around 99% in your favor and you would still lose in the process.

In this very rare scenario, it just so happened that the person was winning against the odds and he came home winning hundreds of thousands of euros in his pocket. Well this may be considered as a Cinderella story, I highly advise people in betting large amounts and copying the same scenario as this guy did.

Unlike with lotteries this kind of bets needs to assess each game, and with that numbers of legs it's not easy to take everything correctly and like both of you whatever we call it that's a fortune that will change the life of this winning bettor, with such amount of money he can established business that will allow him to add more fortune in his life, unless he will continue chasing and lose everything back which is not far to happen same with those who got their chance of winning in a lottery and ended up being poor for wasting too much.
That is if he has an idea to set up a business and wants to grow the money he earns from his winnings. But if he didn't think about his future, he wouldn't be able to develop unless he used the winning money for useful things. He was very lucky to be able to win a lot of money by betting with small money and that was very rare among gamblers. If he keeps trying to get another win, I don't think it will be easy because luck won't necessarily come to him again.

Okay, that IS insane. These are probably the scenarios that push gamblers (both too deep in and light ones) to continue gambling. I'm rather curious really about what was going on in the gambler's minds when they did it, and what made them do it, though I think it was really just a "whatever" moment for them, and just went in doing whatever he did. The scenarios he bet on might have been thought out, but the idea of betting in all of them might have just been a whim.

If it’s your time and your fortune, then faith will work thinks out for your way. I know that most are wishing for something like this to happen as well, and might want to copy what the winner did, but we all have different fortunes and we can’t push it too hard if it’s not our time yet.

I think when we talk about such insane odds, there is simply no chance of getting used to it. When you make a multibet with such odds, it usually turns out that you could not guess 8-10 outcomes - this is a lot. From the point of view of addiction, it is much more dangerous when you made a multibet with a modest coefficient and it lost because of one event. Here the thought begins to torment you - next time I will be a little more precise and I will definitely win.

It is unreal because we rarely see it happen.

But if you've seen those people who have turned their little money into a massive amount through gambling, you'll see a lot of stories on the web by just searching them. Yeah, it looks only happening in movies but it also happens in real life.

What matters is when you've won, take care of it and don't waste that money so save and reinvest it into a better thing. Also, keep some for you to have fun.

Very small chances but it's still possible to happen, time-traveling has never been proven so it's unlikely time travel has something to do with it, it's just happened that he hit it right perfectly he can make a repeat because he has done it but it will take him time to duplicate, all I know is he knows his game and must be a long time bettor to come out with wild guesses,
we do not have enough information about the guy and how he did it, so we are all left to speculate, but this is rare and luck not something that he can do the next day again.

a luck maybe at other times he also feels he is not lucky, such as a missed analysis or prediction error due to haste. I think that amount of money is enough for the next few years if you use it for necessities of life. But if it is for pleasure it might even run out will be addicted to pursue the same gambling. Actually gambling is a person's right and pleasure according to his passion to choose

Basically, this also needs certain analysis and also consideration to see the chance of every club winning or losing at a certain time. It may not be easy.
But, in some cases, when we have considered and analyzed the matches very carefully and professionally, and at the same time we also have the full luck, we will get fortune at once. I am not a person who always believes in luck only. But luck will be completed when we also have certain things that have been done earlier. Not purely luck but also there are some efforts so that God likely give a fortune to us

I would agree on that. Although, some are losing it because they are on cloud 9 for having the chance to win such huge amount, so they just spend and spend it without thinking of its sustainability.  Some also gets greedy, so they decide to gamble some more, until they realize they have lost it all. Opportunities like this doesn’t come so often in life, so better to cherish them and do something good out of it.

100% full accurate, in this world I think it only belongs to that winner...

this is the story of a person who sounds like experiencing the impossible, I just never had an accurate guess up to 100%. I don't know if the winner has already won hundreds of times like this because if it's just based on chance then it's impossible for someone to have that much luck.

It is way more impossible that this is completely skill related, it is obvious that in order to get that result this gambler needs to know a lot about soccer to do this, however there is no way to be able to predict 100% of the time what is going to happen all the time as there are simply too many factors to consider, so while without a doubt he is skilled at the same time there is no doubt that luck had a lot to do with it as well in this particular case.

If he bets a small amount to win a big amount then that is not what you call a high risk high reward but it will only be one if he also bets huge. Betting huge on high odd (low chance) game, are very unlikely too because bettors already know that winning is nearly impossible, that's why they just bet small for fun and for the sake of trying their luck.

I cannot agree that it's only pure luck that makes him a winner but in sports betting, predictions can be made easier and possible if you are doing some analysis. Lately I am having an interest on playing with low chance but high reward games but it's not because I read this guy's story but because I think they are less riskier in my own terms.

How can you explain such fortunate winning happening for real? It looks unlikely and unrealistic even for a Hollywood movie script!

So are you suggesting that he may have fixed all 16 games ? or better yet he can be an undercover time traveler ?

Of course its luck unrealistic yes, but it happened so yeah one lucky guy.
I don't know, there are different hypothesis: fixed matches, time traveller, fake news, fate or supernatural influence which can't be understood or explained by the science... ;)

What most amazes me is that it's not like winning 16 times in a roll on dice, roulette or at any other gambling game. This gambler managed to pick the only correct draw result among 16 games and also predicted correctly a match which changed the result at his favour at 92 minutes of gameplay!

Pretty sure that's 60 pence as well which is 0.6 pounds.

You always see these crazy parlays because they are inevitably going to happen given a large enough sample size, but you're probably not going to see yourself hit one of these in your lifetime.

Heck, even Drake has hit numerous crazy parlays on Stake - but he bets so much that it is bound to happen.
Thank you. I was in doubt what "60p" could mean and presumed it should be "pound", but as you say, "pence" makes more sense. Changed the title of the thread taking your observation in account.

No problems, glad to help.

But just to rebut your point, it's inevitable that this was going to happen to someone at this point.

People shouldn't take this as indication that they should also go out there and try to do the same - reality is far from that. It is an insane amount of luck that you require just to even hit half of the legs and you shouldn't do it seriously.

You could not have that kind of luck if you do not understand how the game works and understand everything about it, you developed your instinct over time and a mixture of luck will make that winning possible, it only applies to sports betting but it's possible to win that way, we all know that it's hard to hit the jackpot in a lottery, but people still win, anything is possible in gambling, it's rare but it happens.

I will just have to say waow to this won ticket, only a legend can do this in over a night, but by the way, the story is incomplete. I have a seen a similar ticket played and won but the odd and the wage money was up to this amount and the guy did excellently and was able to cashout fine without any problem by the sportsbook but the problem issue is the player won't discuss with you unless that they have been here for long and they wouldn't tell you the histories of their losses, check the amounts of money they lost in tickets, they are always enormous and can accounts up to half what they win in real life though in this case, the story is different as the player bet with a penny.

This punter is either the biggest genius at analyzing British football in the world or he's extremely lucky(or maybe both).
Perhaps he could give some betting advice on Premier League and Championship games to us for free(or maybe for a fee).
I'm sure that he tried doing this in the past,but failed multiple times.Betting low amounts on a big sequence of games seems like an interesting strategy.I might try it.
Guessing the winning teams out of 16 games probably has lower odds than guessing the lottery numbers,I'm no mathematician. ;D
Good for him.He could reinvest that money into sports betting or start his own betting advice website.

This was a careful selection although surprises still happens but luck and chance made the prediction worth every odd picked.

Saving at the moment would be ideal.

And then think of what's going to be the next step that you would like to take.

But if decided to gamble again, don't get all of those huge amounts that you've got. It's better to start all over again with the little money that you have started.

Add some if you want but don't put at risk all of it because you're not lucky everyday.

It was only because he got lucky at that bet that he was able to earn a lot of money. But if he goes back to gambling and places a bet then it is not necessarily that he will get another win because no one knows if his luck is still with him. He should be aware of that and not try to keep playing and rather use the money for his life. Who knows he could make a business outside of gambling so that it could be a way for him to earn even more money outside of gambling.

This punter is either the biggest genius at analyzing British football in the world or he's extremely lucky(or maybe both).
Perhaps he could give some betting advice on Premier League and Championship games to us for free(or maybe for a fee).
I'm sure that he tried doing this in the past,but failed multiple times.Betting low amounts on a big sequence of games seems like an interesting strategy.I might try it.
Guessing the winning teams out of 16 games probably has lower odds than guessing the lottery numbers,I'm no mathematician. ;D
Good for him.He could reinvest that money into sports betting or start his own betting advice website.

It is not about profitable or not, but it is more about preferences because betting in single bet may not something profitable for some users.
I'm not betting sports regularly but once I want to bet, I'll choose to play multi bets because I have the chance to win bigger with smaller bets.
Comparing multi bets in sports betting to dice (high multiplier) is not apple to apple because dice is pure luck based game.
Sports need some researches, knowledge, and analysis first before placing a bet.
Even if you are forcing to compare multi bets to dice, profitable or not is based on the final result not about what game to play.

The more bets you do make the more risk you would really be taking considering that 1 loss on multi-bets or parlays will really be considered total lost thats why im not really that much interested on betting on it no matter how good the total odds would be able to hit up.

If you are really that confident in terms of those teams/players on the line then its not bad on having multi-bets or parlays.For this one making 60 to hundred of thousands is something
do identifies true luck.

Its almost or close to impossible considering that some choices arent on money line.

As far as I see it, this is either fake news and / or a PR stunt for a certain casino or the Gambler did indeed make over 150k from 60 pence. If he did, then he was obviously EXTREMELY lucky, or maybe a time traveler from the future. I doubt anyone can predict so many winning situations so accurately. There are just too many variables in the way to make such predictions. I really hope it is real news because that man would be leading a nice, or rather decent retirement with that much cash. Really hope he does not decide to gamble it all again. I doubt he will keep his lucky streak up for long.

TLDR: Probably a PR stunt. I don't really believe it.

Sometimes life would really teach you lessons in the hard way. And during those times, it would be better to have people by your side who could provide you other perspective and help you figure things out. That said, I think having someone by your side to give opinions and suggest safekeeping some profits could be beneficial for a gambler. And to also have someone making gamblers thinking twice of every decision they do.

This can be done once you've managed to have someone give you information on who's gonna win. Some (or most) sports are rigged. I've just recently learned this from Ludwig (a streamer) from his youtube video about his experience in gambling in a casino at Los Angeles[1]. Rich people really get more richer because of such information. Therefore, I don't think it really isn't impossible, you just need great connections.

Luck doesn't need explanation or very specific reasons, as long as there is a probability for it to happen then it will happen.
As for the news, its a bet for what team will win for 16 games, although its quite easy to choose between loss and win but for a draw, it could be a lot ti think of. But the winner get that so its really pure luck.

There are people who dont really actually believe about on how lucky on being lucky on this particular extent.Luck doesnt have indeed boundaries as long it does have odds or chances for you to hit then it would happen.

16 games isnt something that you could see everyday thats why some people doesnt really believe that it did really happen thats why they do say it is some PR.
Its up to them whether this is legit or not but we know that there are indeed chances or probabilities.

from the post above it illustrates that in my environment it is the same way, through P2p or without a website to gamble. From friends to friends and done without any machine. Indeed, it is more practical without having to deposit or any risk. The name is gambling, of course 50% can It's just wrong. Indeed, football clubs are common and become a favorite spectacle of all people and it's a shame if you miss it especially if the big leagues are playing. But in my opinion it's safer than gambling via crypto on certain sites because the price is a little down at the moment, in my opinion Today's crypto is more suitable for long-term investment and gambling is more comfortable using fiat money or other digital money. Although people have different tastes in gambling

Fake or not, in sports betting, there's really high chance the bettor got it correct. That is, if he is really very familiar with the sports. Though getting all correct results is still very hard even if you are an experienced bettor, it comes with the luck also. Because even if you know all the teams, somehow, they can still lose for no reason. Anyway, this kind of winning we all know is very rare. So don't lose your savings just to aim for this kind of winning.

Or not. You can get them right without having a deep knowledge, by pure randomness, in the same way there are people who win the lottery buying only one number. As I said in my previous message, improbable events end up happening, so I do believe that the story can be real. The fact that it is about predicting Premier League results does not detract from its credibility for me.

Only a small number of people can get such a big win while others suffer losses. Even if he is very familiar with certain sports or he is familiar with many sports, it is not necessarily that he can win all of them because it also requires luck that will not come together. However, the win definitely changed his life into someone who has a lot of money and hopefully he can put his winnings to good use.

I mean I try to do this weekly, and have done for a long time now. I've been close several times, including two bets which I was one or two bet builder bets off £500k+ so it can definitely be done. Honestly, these long shot bets are really the only ones I do these days. I usually put on a 4/5 fold accumulator for football, and then like a 5/6+ on the UFC. Sometimes combining the two to have a larger bet, but since most sites cap the amount you can win with UFC, that's usually for shorter odds.

I've even had bet builders breach the million mark, obviously never landed them. However, I've been close to the 500k like I said, and what I mean by that is I was like one goal off, and didn't get the corners correct (over market). So, painfully close.

So, while I can understand the scepticism, and definitely it could be a publicity stunt, I assume people bet like I do, and actually land them from time to time.

Luck might be the reason why this player has won such an amount. I hope everyone could be that lucky but there are times that we're unlucky and destined to lose. If gambling luck would be for everyone then the powerhouse will lose everything. I guess it would be better if lucky gamblers would share their strategy.

This kind of odds is just like betting on a lottery, you'll experience a lot of losses in this kind of game, so if you are not willing to take that loses, then you cannot expect that you will be lucky right away. Though this is sports betting, it still look like a lottery (at least for me) due to the odds combined or we call it parlay, and you need extreme luck to win.

How can you explain such fortunate winning happening for real? It looks unlikely and unrealistic even for a Hollywood movie script!
Imagine the sequence of events needed in order to deliver the results that would perfectly fit the predictions of this impressive lucky gambler.

Actually, I guess luck purely can't explain this event, there must be something else! Or are these fake news?

When luck is on the works then having these situations or events or happenings could really be possible but its really on a very rare situation on which something that you could really see everyday.
Somehow you could really raise up really some questions in regarding on this one on how it did really happen because basing on the order of each bets then you could really tell
that its impossible on how to get win in a very long row of selection considering that not all would be surely in money line.
When a gambler's luck and skill is present, the outcome will always be exceptionally amazing. The gambler must be very good in analysis that resulted into correct predictions, but even so, i guess he must be very lucky that day that a big fortune comes to him as easy as that.  And as expected, while this gambler has definitely an extreme luck that day, the other gambler too must be also losing too much that he rarely finds luck to be on his side.

I think this is a relevant comparison, because in a situation where the bookmaker makes an analysis and you do the analysis, and the real result is random, the redistribution of money goes at the expense of the bookmaker's margin. In this sense, betting is completely identical to other gambling games.
As I understand it, you have not read that topic, but just in case, I will tell you that, for example, in dice, the house edge is always the same for any multiplier - 1%. In bets, if you make a multibet of 10 events, the bookmaker's advantage will be 40%. The difference is huge, right?

We don't always get lucky, so it's best to use the money from gambling winnings, it must be done well.  but the thing that bothers me is if that man can guess 100% then it's not a coincidence, he often does that but this is the first time he's been exposed.  the chance of getting 100% right on every guess is 0.9%

This can be done once you've managed to have someone give you information on who's gonna win. Some (or most) sports are rigged. I've just recently learned this from Ludwig (a streamer) from his youtube video about his experience in gambling in a casino at Los Angeles[1].

While it is true that some matches can be fixed and this is a problem in any sport, at the same time there are two factors that basically deny that possibility in this particular case, to begin with this person predicted a lot of matches from the premier league, which would require a whole fortune just to fix one match, and the other is that the person made a very small bet, if I knew the results beforehand then I would have made a huge bet knowing that I was going to win anyway, but since that is not the case then this win was legitimate.

The real problem with fixing was spot bets where its just a case of how many special events occur in a certain half of the game.   That tempts the players to go out of their way to make the bet win and a cartel can hand them five or six rewards for doing that.   To have the overall game decided by betting is usually not the case imo

I really doubt someone is going to give some random geezer ongoing winning tips about which sports are rigged and who is going to win. If the rich do rigging, then they are obviously going to keep it a secret, for people in their close circle or just themselves. From my perspective on the gambling world, rigging matches may be more common in sports like boxxing but if they were doing it so often and so widespread, somebody would have ratted them out already.

Rigging definitely exists but I very much doubt it happens a lot.

You are not suppose to be having a negative taught of rigging because you suppose be confidently believe that such thing happened and before it happens other people has being practicing it before now, because no place that manipulation is not working or co-existing, you don't need to doubt anything currently because everywhere is full of corruption

Probably such cases would be more frequent if betters made such bets more often. But I think everyone agrees that a bet with such a fantastic odds is simply considered as money down the drain because the probability of winning here is about the same as in the lottery.
By the way, what country do you live in? In most developed countries, this amount is not enough to live a lifetime without working, which is probably only possible in poor countries.

This is some good game play, indeed Fortune favors the brave and seeing how the punter picked his teams,it's very much possible to come up with a similar betslip but honestly too many teams here will certainly reduce your chances of winning.  But all in all, it's good to see such paying which only happen once in a while.

Unfortunately, even though many know that luck is the main factor in gambling, we still hope to get lucky in the next spin and costs us some more money. If we could remember that gambling is entertainment and not expect too many wins, we would not put too much effort and just play for fun.

That's what we have to pay attention to when playing gambling. No one could profit from playing gambling continuously and if someone like that man could guess 100%, then it was lucky for him. But it seems that other people will still follow his lead in betting and will keep trying until they can get a win.

I really doubt someone is going to give some random geezer ongoing winning tips about which sports are rigged and who is going to win. If the rich do rigging, then they are obviously going to keep it a secret, for people in their close circle or just themselves. From my perspective on the gambling world, rigging matches may be more common in sports like boxxing but if they were doing it so often and so widespread, somebody would have ratted them out already.

Rigging definitely exists but I very much doubt it happens a lot.
You are not suppose to be having a negative taught of rigging because you suppose be confidently believe that such thing happened and before it happens other people has being practicing it before now, because no place that manipulation is not working or co-existing, you don't need to doubt anything currently because everywhere is full of corruption

Thats not really the point that I was trying to make in my previous post, though. The point is that there are a lot of people involved in the gambling sports world and it would not be easy to hide the rigging from each and all of them. Its not a small boxing match where you can bribe a few people and earn yourself a bit of money. When hundreds of millions of dollars are involved you can be sure that there are also thousands of people involved.

You can't bribe them all. At least one of them would have ratted the others out. Its simple mathematical statistics.

By the way, what country do you live in? In most developed countries, this amount is not enough to live a lifetime without working, which is probably only possible in poor countries.

He probably lives in a developing country, but to calculate how much you need to live without working we have to take into account age and other factors. Someone who lives in a developing country, has a paid house, emancipated children and is 60 years old is not the same as someone who is 30 years old in a developed country, has not yet bought a house and has young children.

In Europe, that amount is not that much, whatever age you are, but it gives you joy.

in my country (Indonesia) with that kind of money can make a person retire young and live comfortably without having to work until old. in developing countries I guarantee that almost everyone hopes to win the big lottery so that they retire quickly and don't have to work hard outside. but it's true that in developed countries, the winnings are still small.

Some countries will be more vulnerable for that reason, the income inequality and insecurity most have means temptation surely occurs.  In the west, you dont even have to play the sport to still get sponsored by various brands.  Nobody in their right mind risks a whole career on being corrupt, no morals are required just common sense.

Here's all the results for this weekend, perfectly planned out.   Put 60p on it, nobody will suspect !    

  The perfect plan for a cartoon perhaps lol     Some rigging will occur, but a perfect symphony of arranged games wont be the case.   It is isolated incidents, some noticed some unknown and definitely not with the foresight given to a random punter of just pennies.    If nothing else consider the large amount of money you have to throw at the players to risk losing their job, their sponsors and any self respect they may have had.

Correct, taking into account all the money that would needed to fix the matches, the amount of people that would need to be silenced one way or another and the low amount of money that was earned then the possibility that this was somehow fixed is zero, if someone is thinking that some form of cheating took place then it would have been easier to try to tamper with the machine the prints the bet slip than to try the monumental task of trying to fix so many matches.

Yes, you can retire young with that kind of money but if you do not know how to manage that kind of money then you might loose it all quickly. I have read a few articles wherein lottery winners or gamblers after winning have lost all because of bad investment. The concept of stable life is a myth as anything can happen in these times.

You will know what is going on in your country but a google search doesn't match with what you are saying:

"People working in Indonesia make an average gross salary of $13,436 a year, $1,120/month, and $6.46 an hour. These numbers differ between cities, industries, and job titles."

Average Salary in Indonesia (https://destinationscanner.com/average-salary-in-indonesia/)

The prize if converted to dollars would be about $200K. And if we divide it by the average salary, it is enough to live on for 15 years, not counting inflation, which would be even less. We could invest the capital to beat inflation and get an extra return, but if you plan to live off the capital, you can't invest it in risky assets, so the return can't be very high either.

I don't know if you live in a poor area within Indonesia where the average salary and cost of living is even lower but it doesn't seem to be enough for you to retire. Or is it that you had not done the math.

If that person earns a lot of money gambling, I don't think it will affect his life much unless he can't control his lifestyle to spend all his winnings from gambling.
We know that if we could have more money, the temptation to buy many things we don't really need will come to us and whisper to us to buy them.
We can be very consumptively spending the winning money without thinking about our long future.
If we win from gambling with lots of money, we should save half of the winning money and use a quarter to build a business that can give us more money, and we can use another quarter to enjoy it.

That's correct. Even if it's luck should be saved and therefore used to invest in a money-generating business and since having a large amount of money, greediness cannot be controlled and it will surely be spent until you have nothing.

Having this large amount of money, the gambler should take advice from a professional financial adviser on how he can handle it without worrying about losing it all.

it must be done well.  but the thing that bothers me is if that man can guess 100% then it's not a coincidence, he often does that but this is the first time he's been exposed.  the chance of getting 100% right on every guess is 0.9%

This is a very unbelievable story but it really happens, he might be a professional gambler and analyze every team and how the game will turn around.

It would be difficult to retire with that kind of money even in a third world country, it could be done but it is not going to be easy, after all such a person could buy a few houses and then rent them, since rent follows inflation then that is a good way to protect you from it, however we never know what it may happen, there are some places in which rent has been frozen and it does not follow inflation anymore, now you have to take care of the houses, maintaining them and pay taxes as well, so you are not really retiring when we really think about this.

The truth is that I don't think it can be fake news, in probability and statistics there is always the option of hitting the jackpot, just as the majority is giving almost everyone the loser, it depends on what is the probability in percentage that it can happen, in a series of events it is likely that there is a winner in the midst of all possible bets, then the player may have had a unique luck somewhat enlightened and guessed everything, although it is quite an outlier but it is very likely, who can say not ? and why not?

I'm from Indonesia as well and I have to say that $200k is absolutely a huge amount but I will not retire or stop working if I win that amount.
Any cost is increased from time to time and I do believe that if I do nothing and rely on that money only, it wont be enough till I'm old.
It is fine to retire but there should be follow up action such as building our own business with the winning money.

That's quite true! Not just in your country mate but almost every country and citizens are really dreaming and hoping that one day they could be that lucky and hit a huge amount on the lottery.

However, that amount of money varies on every country, yes that money is not that big if someone is living in Europe or North America but if that someone is living in Asia or some remote countries, that amount is sure beneficial in their eyes and can even retire someone on a young age and still live comfortable until they get old.

Come to think that this is gambling after all and probabilities or possibilities could really happen along the way even though it might sounds impossible since we know that betting does really need up that high level
of luck in order for you to win parlays specially on this one. Imagine on hitting up long consecutive wins of your bets without any loss is totally remarkable or something
that you wont really see on everyday basis but doesnt mean that it cant be happening on someone. Imagine on how big the amount is whether this one is just some hoax or truly did
happen.

I have hoped for such in the past and I have played bets like that several times in the past, out of billions, just only few people would be able to win and the chance the few people would win is very small. This is the best way gambling sites are making their money, for people to accumulate matches and bet on it, in order to lose. Having fun for me now while betting is just by taking 1 or 2 matches weekly using small amount of money. I wanted to make it through gambling before but now I just need the money for beer while gambling and not that necessary.

However, that amount of money varies on every country, yes that money is not that big if someone is living in Europe or North America but if that someone is living in Asia or some remote countries, that amount is sure beneficial in their eyes and can even retire someone on a young age and still live comfortable until they get old.
The money is huge generally, if someone in US is receiving $3000 monthly in US, he would work for that money for 50 months, that is more than 2 years. In Africa and Asia, the money is more because the purchasing power in the countries in Africa and Asia is small and the wages and salary are low, but also it is still a big sum of money in countries like Europe and North America.

200k is a decent amount almost everywhere but it is also not enough to retire, if anything it is an incredibly seed capital from which you can build a bright future for yourself, for example you could buy 6.6 BTC with that money and even the lowest prediction for the next bull market will have us reaching at least 100k meaning that you can multiply that capital in just a few years my more than 230%, and if you are willing to hold your coins for the long term then the profits you can get are even higher than that.

Its so lucky he could write a book on it or a regular newspaper column because clearly he knows his stuff to get all the games right when some can barely guess any results beyond random picks.      Depends where you retire but 200k is a starter for a pension and then you need it to grow over a couple decades or he could just buy a house and save himself rent that way; its a decent amount but depends on where you live and the costs you pay.

The odds were 263.109/1. This means that for every million bets placed with such odds, approximately 4 will be winning. Given the fact that millions of betters make hundreds of millions of bets every week and so on for months / years, such events are inevitable. Few people are fond of such huge odds, but there are such amateurs, so from time to time we see such news.

That's how it is! It's just that, in reality who hasn't made a crazy parley looking to get it right.  8)

Last year a gambler from the UK got this prize:

https://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/31732427/london-based-bettor-wins-136-million-six-leg-parlay-harris-english-putt

This is the most insane winning parlay I've ever seen.  And with the last leg resting on a golf match that went deep into a playoff.  Would have had a heart attack watching myself

Best parlay ypu ever won or seen a story on?

We needed the classic story of the compulsive gambler this year here (BTT).  :)

I hope I am just lucky like him, I bet he will try to gamble again with this money I hope he will not spend it all and save a little. With that big amount of money he get, he can buy bitcoins or eth but it will depends on what will be his plan, he can buy investment for long term and he can retire if he wants to once his coins price gets back to its place. But then I think he will going to play again after this.

Sort good to sell your stories and gained more followers and readers, if he can provide articles or books on how he successfully predicts those picks that he has, even it's just a matter of luck or he really have some basis in doing a kind of parlay that leads him to win this huge amount of money. There are people who will follow and will also try to find that same luck that he enjoys.

That's huge money from my location. He can own a house and start a business with that amount. If he's wise enough to invest that money into other passive investment and allow his money to work for him.

The truth is that I agree with your thinking, I would buy the BTC and I would have no doubt about enjoying something when it goes up to $100k or even much more, however, many may not see it that way, because they may want to buy everything they have wanted have and keep at least 1 or 2 BTC, which is not bad either, in my case I think that if I would hodl and put everything in BTC, I would have no doubt because I would see it as a much juicier option than just changing it to FIAT or buying house or investing in Real Estate, including buying gold or investing in the stock market.

Hopefully, he doesn't gamble again after that big win and just focuses on his life by starting a business that can earn him more money. By suggesting buying bitcoin, it can be useful for him because as a type of investment, bitcoin can provide great profits in the future. This allows him to retire early with more money in the future. But all that will depend on his plans and we can only guess what he will do in the future and hopefully, it will be good for him and his family.
