Gambler turns 60 pence bet into £157,865.59

[Maus0728]

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.

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

Pound or pence? Because others are saying pound. But nonetheless, turning 60 pound or 60 pence to almost more than 150k pound is a lot. Had to be very lucky accurately predict all those 16 match. Or he has some sort of insider information.

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

Or this. A fake news to gain users. Clickbait article to increase traffic to their website. And if they are advertising something in the article, then yes, it is actually fake. But who knows. He might be a lucky guy who studied all the games and took the chance. But then, why only bet 60 pence/pound?

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.

Luck is major factor that plays a vital role in deciding how much you win or even don't win anything at all so for sure there are some cases where players are having that luck charm which made these big wins possible with such small amounts.How he use depends on him and we can only hope for our luck to shine also but play in limits.

I think luck is the only factor which makes a person rich in gambling. Otherwise some unlucky person like me when tries to gamble would get a hard slap on the face and will come out from casino crying and losing.
Now after a lots of attempt - I would not dare to gamble. Because at the end I know I will loose. My luck is so hard on me.

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.

04 May 2022 - Gambler turns 60p bet into £157,865.59 predicting every result correctly

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.

[Boristhecat]

If you are interested in betting with large odds, that is, multibets, then you will be interested in reading my topic: Why a single bet is better than a multi bet. The strategy of betting on many events is very unprofitable and his winning is pure luck. Another question is that if you want to get such a huge odds, then you should multibet. But in fact, it is much more profitable to make such a bet in dice.

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.

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?

It never says it's impossible, the greatest example is literally said in OP, a guy who did it, so it is clearly not impossible to do so. However when you consider the odds, it is clear that it is very difficult to do. If it was such a simple thing, everyone would wager 1 dollar for each bet and would end up winning something in return as well and would all get rich and we would never have any money problems.

157k pounds is enough to get me to live comfortably forever without ever having to work for money and just enjoy life. So if it was so possible, I would have done it and would buy anything I want. So, it is not impossible, but not easy neither.

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%

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.

[STT]

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.
