Lottery ticket sports bets

[swogerino]

I can't be the only one that does this 

When I am bored, I might seek out matches to make a multibet with the maximum amount of matches allowed.
So let's say at stake.com where you are allowed to make multibets with up to 25 match outcomes, you can pick up to 25 markets, even with live matches.

To give an example of why and how that can be interesting:
If you find 25 matches with odds 1.74, then that means your total multiplier would be 1.74^25 which would be above 1 mil. You can bet with as little as 5 cents and if you come true to all of your predictions earn more than $50k.

Of course there's no solid strategy behind actually winning such bets. It's super hard to win any of these bets especially if you put in the max amount of matches. But since it's something you can do with stale as low as 5 cents, not much harm is being done.

What do you think of such bets? Have you ever considered doing it?

I have considered it.I am to tired to think about them though and since I also play on Stake what I do is to copy bets of these guys who go for crazy high odds above 1 million in odds,they are of course not playing sport bet rather they are playing the lottery.I like playing the lottery too and what I do is to play even lower than 5 cents,by playing with IDR as a currency you can bet as low as just below 2 cents per bet so why not copying a lot of such bets,sometime it may hit it right and it can be 20.000 dollars with that low bet so why not trying.I always do that when I am low on balance and wait until I get new crypto while I don't get bored by doing so.

Even though such bets seem normal and harmless, because you yourself are placing bets that are quite low, in fact doing this will give rise to unhealthy gambling behavior.

From what you are trying to convey and explain, for me multibet betting with a maximum of 25 match results is a very speculative form of gambling, which is not based on a solid strategy. And this is not much different from an impulsive gambling behavior which is far from a planned strategy and is based on a careful analysis and calculation. In addition, by combining a number of matches in one bet, this can increase the risk of experiencing a significant loss. Even though when we talk about opportunities, the odds seem profitable, but without facing the reality, in fact being able to predict the results of 25 matches accurately is not an easy thing for us to do. so in my opinion, this is not a recommended type of betting. and it would be better if we just adhered to responsible gambling practices, always considering the risks and potential wins wisely.

Does Stake even allow 25 games multibet or maybe it just depends on the level of your account? It sounds fun doing on a slow day but that's still too many teams to pick from. Sometimes I do a similar lottery style but it's on bet builders. It's not that many choices but you're just betting on possible outcomes of 1 or 2 games.

[borovichok]

What do you think of such bets? Have you ever considered doing it?

I do this every time. I believe that anything can happen and sometimes I just accumulate a lot of games with a small amount but hope to win big. Even though it is difficult to win such a bet, it is capable of changing my life if I ever get lucky. The motivation behind this is that if people can win a million dollars from gambling then I can and if I must win a million dollars then I must make predictions that amount to a million dollars.

Another reason why I combine multiple selections into a single wager is to limit my overall exposure to risk. For example, when I have a limited budget but want to bet on several events, I prefer placing a multibet instead of individual bets. This way, if one selection loses, the impact on my overall bankroll will be less severe than if I had placed separate bets.

[dothebeats]

I have done this multiple times but never came close to winning anything I even go out of my way to research some of the games even though I just randomly selected most of those games I have bet on. There is that small glimmer of hope that exists within us, urging us to do these crazy bets on the fly. Idk, maybe that picture of us having lots of money due to winning helps with that urge. But yeah, I do those, but never win anything from it unfortunately.

You are not the only one and i am doing that too, as the base bet doesn't cost much so it's like lottery to me.

But it being "hard" is quite an understatement, and in 25 games there most likely will be draw or 2 as well. And total odds in the end and money we would get tells us how excactly how hard that is.

Problem why we think it's only hard and not near impossible is because our brains aren't designed to comprehend large numbers, or tiny fragments of numbers. We can understand them in theory, but not really visualize them. This is why, when we hear facts like: We only need to double up a $5 bet 18 times to get a million dollars. 18 doesn't seem impossible either, because we don't really comprehend the entropy of it nor the probability, as we are dealing with such a large numbers.

Still, like you said, it's only 5 cents . But realistically, would you watch that trough or cash out in the middle somewhere?

[ralle14]

I've had those moments before, and it was only a matter of time until I moved on because those lottery losses would slowly add up and could've been saved up to make a proper single bet instead of wasting hundreds of tickets with little to no chance of hitting.

I wouldn't discourage others from placing the kind of bets they prefer, it's just that parlays with several matches are always what bookies want most gamblers to bet on because they're the easiest bets to lose and it's the kind of bets that give them the most profit.

[pinggoki]

Definitely considered but 25 matches is just too much if you ask me, imagine getting 24 correct prediction then your last pick fumbled, that's got to be a really sad day for you because ain't no way that you can accurately predict those wins anyway, it's definitely akin to lottery but much more intense and difficult because in lottery I think you only need 7 or 8 correctly ordered numbers in order to win unlike with this one where it can go much higher. Now that I think about it, I really want to see a person that's tried to do this and won because that's got to be one hell of a story that they can win this much amount and get a really good prediction streak.

Won't this thing also be susceptible to some form of rigging? You know kind of like when mafia dons try to influence a player or maybe even the organization to rig the game to their favor. Is game fixing still a big thing today? Haven't heard a lot of that for some time now.

[danherbias07]

I did this before but in a different method. I am not the one picking but other gamblers and I am just tailing their long parlays.
It can be profitable if done right. Others have strategies like cashing out if they make a little profit. They don't need to end the whole parlay and if they see a chance of a "cashout" button available then they will take it.

Others like the risky method which is letting it end until the end but for me making a little bit of money out of 5 cents should be enough.
I only did it myself once in a tennis and table tennis game combined and when I saw an x50 multiplier win while the games were not over yet, I cashed it out without thinking twice.

So it's okay to do the early cash-out strategy as long as you can monitor it or you know the schedules. Or, just memorize the gaps in time because that is when the cash-out button opens up.
I liked it before but I stopped when I felt like I was losing more and forgetting that I had a parlay in my tickets.

Making big multibets with loads of matches seems exciting especially with the potential for massive payouts. Just imagine combining 25 matches with decent odds and the multiplier skyrockets. But let's be real, predicting the outcomes for all those matches is like rolling the dice. It's more luck than strategy. Sure, you can throw in just 5 cents but don't forget the thrill comes with a big risk of losing it all. It's a fun gamble but play it smart and keep it light

Multibet with so many events is not much different from the lottery where you have to match several numbers. When the game is all about your luck, you should try to calculate the probability at which you have a better chance of winning, but if in both cases the chances of winning are so insignificant, that they leave you almost no hope of winning, then it makes no difference what you play, in any case, almost everything luck will decide, not you.

Multibet, in my understanding, gives more chances to win than the lottery, but I’m not talking about multibet in which there are several dozen events.

[alani123]

In my country I see a lot of people doing this, they analyze more than 17 games and then place the more than 17 games in a multibet bet and place between $1 and $5 and I myself have seen many people from my country win a lot of money. With this type of strategy, a few years ago I took a trip to another city and stayed at my relatives' house. One of my relatives makes sports bets and he only makes multi bets, so I asked him why he only made mutibet bets and he answered me as follows: because he wants to win a lot of money, he doesn't want to waste time spending hours analyzing a game and then place a bet and when the result of the bet comes out you win little money because you made a simple bet. He always told me that time was very valuable and that he didn't like wasting time on bets that didn't make money.

Because of how low the chances of winning such a bets are, even anything above 1$ on such multi bets is a bit much. You would have to make thousands of such bets to realistically win even one if the odds are 1 mil. That doesn't also mean the chances are 1 in a mil. They are actually 0.33... to the power of 25 for a 25 leg multi bet with soccer matches because they can have three outcomes. So that's why I always go for this type of bet with the minimum bet possible. I think sports books alsk have some kind of max win too so there's no point putting in a stake that's too high.

[Questat]

What do you think of such bets? Have you ever considered doing it?

I have already considered it since I have done it before. The minimum amount to risk is very affordable. If we get lucky here, we can make a significant amount of money. So, I can say that it's really more interesting compared to betting on a lottery where the result is instant. Here, with the number of bets included in your parlay, it might take the whole day to wait for the final result. But as you get closer to winning your tickets, you'll feel the real thrill in gambling because you are hoping to cash out a huge prize.

With a parlay, analyzing is still important. You don't just choose hoping you'll get lucky. That's not the essence here. We are betting on sports because we like to attract luck to our carefully analyzed bets.

I remembered a thread that someone won a parlay bets with huge odds, it's crazy for someone can win with such huge odds, people might call him a God because he can predict everything corrects.

Personally I don't want to bet like that, x5 to x10 odds is enough for me, the risk is still acceptable and the return is quite big.

knock it off mate! Because the person was lucky to have won such long multiple bets doesn't in anyway warrant any calling him god, I have seen people take such risk of a long bet slip of up to 35 games and still won it, they were just lucky. Tell them to redo it again and see if it's going to be a win again for them, it definitely won't be, that's why it's inappropriate to use the word god on them just because of a bet win irrespective of the number of games.

That of x5 to x10 odds is quite cool to go with as the chances of winning is multiple times higher than predicting x25 games above under the logic of not losing much with the use of 5cents. A gambler should go for a strategy that gives him high chances of winning instead of one that limits his chance of winning.

[Yatsan]

What do you think of such bets? Have you ever considered doing it?

Well yes with parlay betting or with bet builders they want to call. Not exactly the same but you are simply betting a small amount against high odds, so I guess it has the same idea. Problem is the difficulty of winning which is sometimes a punch to the moon. Rewards are indeed high in this kind of betting strategy but the win-loss ratio is not really something which could impress anyone or for them to consider the same strategy. What I do is to create a bit high but realistic odds, place a small bet, and let things be. I experienced winning for some instances and those were really x20 and up multipliers of what I bet.

What worries other is the idea of efficiency. Perhaps you could lose an instant $500 with a fair odd single bet. And with multiplier or high odd bets, you would lose it in 50 games or bets. Sometimes it would be viewed the same but on my end, 50 times is still 50 chances of winning, despite of high possibility to lose, over a single bet. Eitherway you won't have assurance of winning. Losing on any gambling strategy is a normal thing in the first place, and we just have our own ways to make the most of every amount in our gambling bankroll.

[klidex]

You do exactly what my friend does sometimes he tries by choosing lots of matches to make his multibet and only betting with small money and sometimes he invites me to make the same bet so that we can both get big profit if we win and only bet with money small but the profit is very big and I sometimes always imagine that if I really win then I will get profit many times over. I admit that sometimes my friend is smart in analyzing matches so I don't hesitate to place the same bet as him because after all we have to try and try. But I was only used small money so it wasn't a big problems for our finances but unfortunately none of the bets worked lol

Many people say that if we use many betting option and combine them together, our chances of winning are very small. There will always be a team that loses or experience surprises, making our bets fail to win, but if you aim to make a profit, it's better to avoid this option because the winning percentage is very small, but if you just try, just try your luck it doesn't matter, the most important thing is don't take the risk of betting large amounts.

[joeperry]

What do you think of such bets? Have you ever considered doing it?

I'm not a big time gambler but I do gamble with around $150-$300 let's say for a month? and sometimes when I lose and I have extra money left, I do this. But not with a 25 matchups lol the chance is really low but I do place bet on lower odds live games such as 1.30 and below and around 5-10 matches parlay and out of 10 times I do this I only won once, so yes I do this especially when my bankroll is less than $3 and trying to hit a good jackpot in sports betting.

[dezoel]

25 is such a long shot. But with this, you will enjoy longer and still hope for 50k while wagering 5cents    Your $10 deposit will last for weeks.

However, you know you will lose eventually so why not just pick 5 matches that you are almost sure to be picking the right team? With just 5 multi bets, you will have a higher chance of winning. 3 will make it easier.

No, we can't predict the future and the less we expect the more it can happen. I've also seen a bettor like this who still manages to win, so why not try our luck as well? But, the more we can increase our chance to win, if we will pick only matches that we have a knowledge about.

Playing a gambling is not only about winning but it's also about having fun. You already said that having a playstyle like this will make our capital long lasting, so this can already satisfy our gambling needs. Sure we have a higher chance to win on fewer matches but our winnings there are also small. After all, losing is still there and if we do, we have no more funds anymore to play and enjoy.
