You know.... a lot of those gamblers are using this strategy to fund their gambling career. He bet $1.4M to win $11,000 on low odds to use that money to bet on more risky bets with higher odds. He might have done that 100 or 200 times before with success .... and now it backfired on him with this loss. This is just what gambling are about.... you do not have 100% guaranteed bets that work all the time. We had several upsets in the Soccer World Cup of 2022.... where the odds was stacked against those losses... but we still took those bets and we won, so it can work for you.. when the tables are turned. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) sometimes sports betting is always filled with disappointment because we get low odds we should already be sure that it will win, but again it's down to luck too, we can lose in one game which will mess everything up, considering the world cup a lot of money which I lost a lot there because it is difficult to guess the direction of the national football team and moreover there are many surprises that happened there, I will have a hard time sleeping if I lose the money that was told by the OP

Because it risked $1.4 million in a single match, the gambler is very rich. Because there are no gambling strategies that guarantee a hundred percent winning outcome, I would not call it a mistake. It was just a typical unlucky wager that was intended to win frequently.
If the unfortunate gambler used half of his or her personal savings to attempt to profit from extremely low market odds, the bet would be a mistake. It becomes a reckless wager and he or she has a gambling problem that has to be resolved.

What an unlucky fellow. I just hope, he really is a millionaire coz if not that is certainly depressing and might do the unthinkable. An average person would earn it in more or less than 10yrs of hard work. DK did a good job of protecting the identity of the bettor from further embarrassment or humiliation but not so much since it got leaked to Bleacher Reports not unless it has consent from the bettor.
This is one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of low odds, be it in sports betting or any casino games. I'm just wondering if he did it before. Not a million, but he bet a decent amount in low odds. He does not seem a first-timer to do such an extreme bet.

If he can spend that amount for betting then he's somehow can be consider rich since he can afford to take that risk just to try his luck to win. But unfortunate incident happen then he lose maybe learn a hard lesson for that or he will be challenge to test out how lucky he is on next playing time.

what your opinion about this gambling issue? did you had experience similar experience?
That is sports betting for you. Even with favorable odds and a win is almost certain, there is always a random factor that can affect the result. Just like what happened in the game where the person bet $1.4m while the Charger is leading 27-0, then a surprising turn of events happen when the opposing team (Jacksonville) made an epic comeback winning the game with 31-30.[1] This scenario had proves that sports betting is not all skills and game analysis, it is also affected by luck and many random things. how a good gambler should avoid such mistakes? A good gambler should have a good understanding of the game and the gambling odds. He should also have a good understanding of bankroll management and should have tried to limit his bet to avoid massive losses. A good gambler always gambles responsibly and views gambling as entertainment and not a way to make money.

I also guess he is a millionaire who uses a lot of money to gamble. But if he is not a millionaire but just has a lot of money saved, it would not be worth using that money to gamble because he could just make an effort to make more money. Or maybe he accidentally placed a bet with low odds. There is still a lot of speculation about what happened to him to suffer such a big defeat while we don't know the truth.

This is the reason why they call it gambling. You gamble for luck and if it doesn't favor you, you lose the amount. This has what happened here. The gambler used $1.4 million but luck didn't favored him. What I wonder is if he can gamble such a huge amount in one single bet then how much more would he be having.

Maybe we don't know the truth of the mistake that has bet high for low odds, but for sure we know he has lost $1.4 million to get $11k from that winning bet, even though he is billionaire but he has suffered high losses and maybe he feels the impact of his mistake without limiting the funds for betting. He is not a good gambler to understand the proper way of gambling considering the risk rather than the chance of winning is low, I am sure that no bettor will bet like that only to suffer high losses.

I can't believe there are really bettors who are brave enough to put and risk that kind of huge amount thinking 1.01 odds is a sure win.
And the winning amount if the bettor won it? $14,000. Not worth risking a crazy $1,400,000 for that amount of winning.
It's hard to move on from that experience knowing 1.01 odds is almost a sure win. To also feel the profits betting on such low odds, a mandatory and necessary high stake is needed and that's where it becomes riskier.
That's what I thought when reading about it. They were unlucky, that's one thing, we can also say the game was really close with 1 point deciding about the win. It wasn't 2:1 like you see in football, this was 30-31 which is really close if you think about it, especially that the team that won was losing most of the match, but the most important part is the sheer stupidity of the gambler. You never put so much money on the line to win so little, especially that if he spent it on bitcoin he'd have more than 11k profit in 1 month.

Very unlucky because if we do talk about on the odds of 1.01 then it is really considered to be a one sided game since bookies are really that setting out those odds which it would really be no brainer that people or bettor would really be thinking that it is really that a sure bet or win, but we do really know that there's no such thing about sure bet or win here on gambling space whether you are dealing with fiat or crypto it would really be just the same overall.Just like on what most people been saying on here that going all in is never been that a good step or action to be made off no matter how small the odds are, you cant really make yourself totally safe in speaking about the risk.

In gambling and betting of all types of games it is very difficult to find a win and everything has the risk of losing. so I'm not surprised if someone loses millions of dollars from gambling, because indeed that is already a risk that gamblers must accept. at least gamblers who bet with big bets, they certainly already know all the risks involved. whatever happens to gambling, it can happen when you choose a small opportunity that looks like a win but actually loses. All gamblers must have experienced something like this, it's just that the numbers at stake are different.
things like that are very difficult to avoid when you become a gambling addict. just like me when I had $100 and $400 bills in my trouser pocket. when I want to bet on sports with a capital of $ 100 but when I see the odds are 1.2 and have a chance of winning, I will bet all my money that is in my trouser pocket. So I put all my money in sports betting and then I lost. Incidents like this have happened frequently and cannot be avoided. if you want to avoid this kind of thing always think about this "gamble = luck"

But unfortunate incident happen then he lose maybe learn a hard lesson for that or he will be challenge to test out how lucky he is on next playing time. A hard lesson indeed but I go with your opinion if he can take that huge amount to risk he might have a lot of money to spend for his gambling, it might be possible that he will take this as hard lesson and start building better strategy, it's really something that we all know, shit can happen everywhere, that huge comeback is something that gambler can't imagine happening. Risking that huge amount for a very small odd, a kind of bad luck that always part of every gambling session.

What an unlucky fellow. I just hope, he really is a millionaire coz if not that is certainly depressing and might do the unthinkable. An average person would earn it in more or less than 10yrs of hard work. DK did a good job of protecting the identity of the bettor from further embarrassment or humiliation but not so much since it got leaked to Bleacher Reports not unless it has consent from the bettor.
This is one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of low odds, be it in sports betting or any casino games. I'm just wondering if he did it before. Not a million, but he bet a decent amount in low odds. He does not seem a first-timer to do such an extreme bet.
I also guess he is a millionaire who uses a lot of money to gamble. But if he is not a millionaire but just has a lot of money saved, it would not be worth using that money to gamble because he could just make an effort to make more money. Or maybe he accidentally placed a bet with low odds. There is still a lot of speculation about what happened to him to suffer such a big defeat while we don't know the truth. He must be a wealthy man to have 1,4$ million dollars under his disposal for gambling. I believe someone who has such amount of money and place a bet of that size knows what he is doing and the possible outcomes, what means that should be money he could afford to lose. Probably if he were a foolish addicted gambler he wouldn't be able to accumulate 7 digits and become a millionaire, as he would have already gone busted a long time before. Addicted gamblers have difficult managing their finances and growing their patrimonies. Discipline and self-control are indispensable on this matter.

That is exact reason I don't add low odds on my coupons. ...
Same here. The expected winnings are almost never worth the risk. If anything I'd more likely go the other way and bet a tiny amount on the underdog, I think that's a situation when you're most likely to see actual decent odds and a positive expected value bet. But I haven't tried that as a long betting strategy yet.

What an unlucky fellow. I just hope, he really is a millionaire coz if not that is certainly depressing and might do the unthinkable. An average person would earn it in more or less than 10yrs of hard work. DK did a good job of protecting the identity of the bettor from further embarrassment or humiliation but not so much since it got leaked to Bleacher Reports not unless it has consent from the bettor.
This is one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of low odds, be it in sports betting or any casino games. I'm just wondering if he did it before. Not a million, but he bet a decent amount in low odds. He does not seem a first-timer to do such an extreme bet.
I also guess he is a millionaire who uses a lot of money to gamble. But if he is not a millionaire but just has a lot of money saved, it would not be worth using that money to gamble because he could just make an effort to make more money. Or maybe he accidentally placed a bet with low odds. There is still a lot of speculation about what happened to him to suffer such a big defeat while we don't know the truth. He must be a wealthy man to have 1,4$ million dollars under his disposal for gambling. I believe someone who has such amount of money and place a bet of that size knows what he is doing and the possible outcomes, what means that should be money he could afford to lose. Probably if he were a foolish addicted gambler he wouldn't be able to accumulate 7 digits and become a millionaire, as he would have already gone busted a long time before. Addicted gamblers have difficult managing their finances and growing their patrimonies. Discipline and self-control are indispensable on this matter. For sure the guy is a wealthy man because he can't afford to bet with $1.4 million if he is not. I wonder how the guy felt after finding out that the supposedly sure win bet for him had lost. I do not think the guys is addicted but I believe he has the capacity to bet millions of dollars. Beside, the team where he placed his bet is leading and probably he thinks that it is impossible for the other team to win because his team has huge lead. Sadly in gambling often times luck doesn't favor us. He thought it was a sure win but luck say, "no no no no". Well, indeed in gambling the most important factor to keep ourselves in check is self awareness and self control. To be a good gambler we must have these traits and we must also know the mechanics of gambling and its relation to random output.

what your opinion about this gambling issue? did you had experience similar experience? how a good gambler should avoid such mistakes?
There is no gambling issue, to begin with. The fact that the person is willing to risk such an amount even with low odds while expecting only a small return means, maybe that's really its usual way of betting since then. Unfortunately, that person didn't win this time even though the supposed chances of winning are really high. That's even not a mistake since it's just normal betting that loses. What if he wins instead? But it does serve a lesson that "no odds are safe" even at 1.01 odds where the probability to win is 99.9%.

This is why I prefer underdog bets or lay the risk away if possible, on this amount surely he had someone offering to handle the risk for him or maybe not. I guess he had to have been a big fan of the team and just very capable and able to place high bets because for sure I could not sleep taking this risk. The other reason to take the other side is to come back from 27-0 to 30-31 was surely an epic game to watch and regardless of the teams thats the kind of game people want to watch I think as its so unlikely to occur normally.

Surely, he is a millionaire heck even a billionaire having to be able to bet such an amount however I don't really think that they really know the outcome of his bets and mostly think that he'll surely win with that kind of odd. It's actually pretty common for wealthy people to do such a thing without thinking about the outcome and just do these things just for fun and see if they'll be able to monetize a low multiplier with an extremely huge bet.

I don't know how rich the person that made the bet was but I believe he/she was greedy with the game and I also believe he/she has learned a pretty good lesson because the odds of a game don't justify an end result, it is something I have learned much time which I also learn during the Qatar World cup game at quarter-final when Portugal faces the Moroccan, Brazil vs Cameroon, Spain vs Japan, etc.

I think there are several lessons here: - there is not easy bet! even lower odds there is always a risk. - it's really risky playing an huge amount. This not helps gambler because the risk is much much higher then rewards! - gambling is not easy at all! it's really hard achieve a profit even for easy games!
what your opinion about this gambling issue? did you had experience similar experience?
I agree to all of you've said. Even if the odds are like that, you can never be sure if that's going to be a win for us. I had similar when I was confident of betting for a team before in the NBA and I'm sure that most of us do that for the sports that we think we know. But even so the odds are like that, it's not a guaranteed ticket that we're going to win. how a good gambler should avoid such mistakes?
IMHO, this can't be avoided. What we can avoid is to be not surprised all of a sudden if the result didn't go accordingly and the reminder always we say, to bet with the amount that we can afford to lose.
