What category would you classify such bettor?

[MainIbem]

 I came across a bettors ticket on the media so I decided to raise a discussion with it here in the forum, well some people in the comment section rained abuse on the bettor for making such bet, some think he's greedy there were others who think he's a risk taker, while some still said he's very unlucky. In my own point of view,  judging from the image above it's either the bettor is greedy or lack good strategy, why I think he's greedy is because, if you check the odds properly you'll notice that the bettor is very greedy in selecting very risky odds and seems he wants to cash out very big by all means, well one can still say he's very unlucky, he took risk no doubt but that's a miscalculated risk out of greed to get bigger odds and make more profits. With that being said, what do you think is the perfect categories to classify such bettor?
Greedy
Risk taker
Lacks good strategy
Or he's just an unlucky bettor, give your reasons and why you think so.

Even if I am drunk, I can not be taking this type of odds. The lowest odd there is 5.2 which is very risky in sport betting. I can easily find 3 odd to choose in casinos but in sport betting, any odd getting higher than 2 is very risky. The chance to win just a single bet is small, not to talk of winning the whole bet. It is greediness.

Greed is the cause of such decisions and I would say maybe he is having fun and decided to take the country with the highest odd. At the same time, I will say that this bettor does not understand football and that his why he is going for underdogs. This is because I know that it is impossible.

To wrap it up, I will say that it is both greed and lack of good strategy that caused such decision making by the bettor. No one will purposely throw away his money because he wants to take risk that the chance of winning is close to zero.

Risk taker
Lacks good strategy

This person is not just a risk taker but a high risk taker and a high risk taker like this will lose most of the time and will lose a lot of money. May he is an addict  or maybe he is a beginner who doesn't understand how this works. Or rather this may just be Drake. The ticket matches all of his characteristics - a high risk/high reward bettor and the outcome all ends in a loss. Who else if this isn't drake. Well it is a  risk that I cannot afford to take. I am too informed to do this.

He is not a risk taker or lacks strategy, but he just wants to get rich quickly by taking bets with odds like that. He really hoped that he would win on this bet and get quite a lot of money, but unfortunately he didn't win a single bet. If I personally don't want to take the risk of taking a bet like that, I'd better look for a bet with more reasonable odds and play it safe.

You cannot judge someones betting strategy from a single slip. This are very risky odds and he is not unlucky that they all were wrong, he would have been extremely lucky to win that, extremely lucky.

If he plays like this most of the time hoping that one will give him decent reward, that is bad strategy. But if it is a mix up or risky and expected results then it is not so bad, especially if they are not losing money.

I will categorize that better as a greedy fellow who has no strategy and believe on his/her luck entirely. In sports betting luck matters but proper research and strategy matter way more than someone's luck. The bettor just depends on his/her luck and I believe such bettors will lose no matter how long they try their luck.

The ticket is not complete, I would like to see how much money is involved. If the bet is small there is likely some strategy involved... Apparently, the guy is chasing 5 games with 7 or more corners for one of the teams, and I guess he caught this before. In support of that, we can see that there are 2 other bets besides, which may be more serious, and this is being chased with some small bet, and if it comes, it comes.

So if the bet is small we can't say he is a risk taker. If he has already bet this way (and maybe won) it can be said that it is a strategy... good or bad, again depends on his previous successes/failures. He was definitely unlucky with this ticket, but then again, it's hard to say anything other than that. Maybe he had more luck in the past with this kind of bet, maybe he will have better luck in the future... I think it's foolish to even discuss it when we don't have all & complete information.

He is obviously a risk taker. Big money comes with big risk. If he wins, he will win big. He doesn’t want to win small potatoes because small winnings won’t affect his life in a meaningful way. Is it a viable strategy? It definitely is if you get a quick win before you lose much of your capital. Then you can grab your prize and go enjoy your life.

People who bet on 1.01-1.05 chance games are the real losers imo. They risk so much to get so little. It doesn’t make any sense.

[TopTort777]

From the first look on the picture I though that either the guy is crazy (he is betting on number of corners only and all bets are very risky) or he has got freebets. And since he was lucky once with guessing right number of corners, he is trying to repeat that. I would call him weirdy. His bets are definitely not random, nor he is reckless bettor. There is a logic behind his bets, I am sure of that, but I cant figure out it yet.

[Cantsay]

To me, I feel he doesn’t have good knowledge about the game he’s playing bets on - because I see no reason why someone would be willing to risk their money on a 15 odds game.

If it was just one out of all of them I would have been more convinced that he probably did it due to the fact that he was a risk taker but since all the game he took are looking abnormal or something a novice who just wants to turn their little deposit into a profit with just a single parlay.

Others might have a different opinion but for me, once a game crosses the 4 odds threashold I’m no longer interested in it again, I’d prefer accumulating various 1.8-2 odds games than to go on a single 15 odds game.

It is greediness.

If he had won the game , many people would have celebrated him as a good risk-taker. There is nothing like greed in gambling because everyone wants to win big. Don't forget that the greater the risk the bigger the win. Most big winners in gambling take uncommon risks which many people will never take.

I will categorize that better as a greedy fellow who has no strategy and believe on his/her luck entirely.

He made his decision and it's okay for him. This is why gambling is for mature minds who take responsibility for their bet. Every gambler decides how to use his money on gambling. As much as he is a responsible gambler I will not judge his action because he might become lucky one day.

His money is his rules for betting.

Greedy

This can all be combined, and all these qualities are one way or another inherent in almost all gamblers. Why did you pester him, as if this gambler had done something extraordinary? He just made a bet, one that he considered necessary and was ready to risk his (not your) money for it.

Anyone who makes a bet can be accused of greed, because they want to increase their deposit.

Anyone who makes a bet can be called a risky person, because any bet involves risks.

Anyone who makes a bet can be accused of lacking a good strategy, because at least once they made a mistake with their bet. It's the same with luck.

I don't think anything as I don't find those odds surprising or strange.I personally place bets with sometimes over 200.000 as odds and I know I am playing the lottery and not a sport bet ticket.The chances are near 0 of course to win such bets but even if it hits one single time it can be a life changing event in most countries depending on the amount of money you have put at stake in such bets.Based on this I don't call this type of gambler anything as simply he tries to hit the jackpot through such type of bets,anyone has his own ways of thinking and doing.

It is true that we can not just use a single betting slip to judge someone but those games can not be won and he may believe in miracle than reality. What I think is that the person that bet it is greedy and only want to chase after money in gambling but which will not do him any good but bad if he continues. That is not small odds at all and he wants to become a multimillionaire just very easily and he might be thinking gambling he could win it. I can guess that the person may be new to betting and ignorant a little about what he chose.  The person has all the three characteristics because that is a not a good strategy, he is a risk taker and I will say he is greedy. You are right because if he changed and not bet like this again, we can not call him all these. But as of this discussion, he is greedy is all I could think.

[un_rank]

That is not small odds at all and he wants to become a multimillionaire just very easily and he might be thinking gambling he could win it.

He could be staking a very small amount on the bet and testing out a new strategy, or he has done it previously and has had success with such strategies, there are so many possibilities on why a gambler made such a bet and we cannot reach any conclusion with a snapshot of a bet slip.

There is no direct strategy to win in gambling, some have played it very safe all the time with their odds and never won anything so that is not the obvious way to go. The only good bet is a won bet and as long as one is not losing significant amount of money chasing a profit and having fun along the way, they are playing it right.

Should I even call this greed or a lack of good strategy? The person picked five matches, how do you even expect everything to come through? It’s surprising to me, but I don’t think this will be greed. Maybe the person lacks knowledge about betting and just decides to place a bet on teams with higher odds. Even if someone is a risk taker, then we are supposed to know the kind of risk that we will be taking. There are just some risks that are not really realistic. How will you place this kind of bet, and you think all the matches will go in your favor? I can’t even imagine myself placing this kind of bet, I see it as a waste of money.

Exactly, this example cannot be considered as being greedy, or the bettor cannot be considered greedy because it's more like the bettor didn't have any idea what he was doing anymore, or because he wanted to win money, he just bet on whatever he thought fit or was good, but in reality, he has made a mistake that could become too costly. Anyway, it is his own action, and he definitely should face the consequences. He let his passive thoughts decide without proper critical thinking. That's why I think he made that bet, which is that we could see that a non-thinker has done it.
 
Even if I'm desperate to win money from betting, I will never do this thing or bet without thinking carefully about it because I know I will only regret it and what is done cannot be undone. Thankfully,  I'm not making that kind of mistake when it comes to betting because I know and enjoy when I bet, so I like thinking about where I will place my bet.

He can not have success in such strategy. If it is one match, the probability to win it is less than 10% but he chose more games. The probability that he will lose that game is higher than 99.99% although not 100%. What I think more about this is that someone might deceived him of fixed matches and he fall for the scam. I have seen someone that got scammed like this before but with two matches that I told him he will lose and he lost both but also on a single bet.

points 1 and 2 are suitable for gamblers like this, greedy looking at weak team Odds as if hoping for luck and leaving everything aside, he is also a risk taker and knows that even if he bets on a weak team he still wants more and he should be ready to lose from the start because he had chosen a risky chance of winning. Meanwhile, if it is categorized as lacking strategy, I believe that the soccer betting strategy is actually quite common, where just by looking at the odds it is clear that the bookie is giving a choice, but because of greed and preferring big risks, the gambler ends up no longer caring about the basic strategy in betting on soccer. ball. I think novice gamblers definitely know that choosing small odds on a team has a big chance of winning.
