someone hit a x3704 odds in sports betting.

Gambling with a lot of expectations leads to disappointments, it is always best to hope for the best but expect the worst when gambling because this is how you can keep your mind from getting too obsessed with winning. Some people gamble and only think about the possibilities of winning, that's a wrong mindset.

They said winning comes when you least expect it, but how can you stake a claim and not have hope to win? The higher the expectation, the more confidence you put in, and the harder the disappointment will hit if the game does not come out victorious, and the lower the expectation of winning, the more positive emotional reaction winning will bring.

Sometimes having a very high expectations can make a gambler disappointed when the expectation becomes negative.
I know that every gambler is looking for opportunity to make money but when you expectation is too high, this can cause problem within the gambler that can result to emotional issues. We can have a neutral expectation but should not be accompanied with over confidence.

For those who are in doubt that it is possible to win, maybe this can change their mind after seeing the evidence. I do not know the guy personally, but he has a Facebook account that you can verify, and I will share the link.

It will only encourage some people to be stupid as it will encourage them to also try it, but with higher amount of money. But if using just $1 every week to bet on higher parlay, that can still be seen as a good gambler.

It also shows that parlay is not really a waste of money if we just know how to limit our stake.

Anything you do for fun is not a waste of money even if you are losing in that thing, but it is giving you joy and not problem.

I have been thinking about this a long time, the idea that others feel encouraged to go for losing bets in a sense and my question is whether casinos have a big incentive to spread betting slips like that when they actually never happened? It would be understandable. It is not that I would ever support such a practice, but it would probably be easy for them to share a betting slip like that after the fact.

But leaving that aside, 3704x will not happen so often to any gambler in sports. It could be more realistic in slot machines I think, but I don't know. The parlay the guy here played is impressive, he didn't play many low odds events. He picked tough outcomes to get through with and I bet his sweat was real. It says number of 7 events and then 6 of 6 completed, how is that possible when they all show "win"? Am I overlooking something here or did he make use of a cashout option?

If he had a cashout option and then still let it run till the end, hats off for having huge balls.

The moment that a gambler’s expectations becomes very high, even the smallest losses can feel like a major one, and far worse than it actually is. That’s why it’s crucial for gamblers to always at all time have a positive and realistic mindset and approach and avoid being too confident  when they gamble because no one can actually predict gambling outcomes. So one of the the best way to make sure you try your best to make the right decision would be to do all you can to keep your emotions in check.

That's an important point you made, a lot of people see being realistic as persimmism but it's far from it when it comes to gambling because it's a game of luck and winning doesn't come by being obsessed or expecting too much, it comes when you least expect it. I always assume that any amount of money I deposit in my bet account is already lost in order not to expect too much.

[Dr.Osh]

Interesting. But I believe this is the most real form of luck. Perhaps some time ago, we didn't believe in luck in gambling. But your friend proves it. Unfortunately, luck doesn't come to everyone, so I'm not curious but to assume he's the lucky one right now.

Such odds are not easy to win but it is not really impossible because some bettors have been able to win way more than this odds. But the problem with this is how it affects other bettors mindset about making profits,  some people start gambling to chase wins after seeing that someone won such a high odd. I remember when a bettor won millions of naira with a stake of less than a dollar this made people gamble more through out the entire month and their desperation to win made them lose a lot of money.

It is psychologically expected for many gamblers to try to emulate something like this by their own, don't you think?
In the end, there are thousand of gamblers out there who are being constantly bombarded with news about lucky winners, people who have managed to get crazy multipliers and turn a handful of dollars into thousands of dollars in a very short period of time.

Greed is powerful and an important part of the gambling world, whether we like it or not, the best thing we can do as gamblers and bettors is to recognize when we are being greedy and try to curb our impulses when comes to trying to repeat those crazy multipliers, like the one being shared on this thread. Just because someone manage to get thousands in a single session or become millionaire in a single session, it does not mean we are going to be the next ones.

The sooner we learn and keep that inside our mind, we won't have to face unbearable disappointments and money losses.

That’s to be expected if they don’t understand how the game and the odds work – which is the case for most people. If you manage to get a 4,000x return, it’s because, on average, you’ll win far fewer times than once in 4,000. The thing is, people focus on the headline – the big number – which is what catches their attention. What’s more, the bookmakers make a point of publicising these big wins because they know that more people will try their luck, losing money and leaving more revenue for the bookmakers.

[fruktik]

That's a fact, my friend. Luck only comes to those who are prepared. For the bettor to be in a position to win big, consistency in betting and keeping up what he is doing are the reasons. Yeah, slot games are totally different from sports games. I rate sports bettors higher than casino players because in casino games, anyone can have the same luck regardless of their knowledge of the game.

And I still prefer slots. Why? I still don't understand it myself. Probably because I started playing casino games with them. And that's still the case.

I don't think there's a strict division between those who bet and those who play slots. It's just a convention. The chances of winning aren't that great anyway. So I wouldn't draw any distinction.

Exactly. Traditional bookies love publicizing these miracle wins because they attract new bettors, but what rarely gets mentioned is what happens after the payout request.
A huge win on a fiat site can easily trigger additional verification checks, account reviews, or KYC hold-ups before the withdrawal gets approved. That's one reason why I prefer placing these long-shot parlays on crypto sportsbooks instead. I usually split these lottery tickets between Stake and sportbet.one. Even though sportbet's UI feels a bit dated and their live betting isn't as polished as Stake's, the trade-off is worth it for me.
If a miracle ticket actually lands, I'd rather have the funds hit my wallet directly than spend weeks dealing with additional paperwork and withdrawal reviews.

Anything can happen to us at anytime and that is why we need to be prepared when gambling so we don't get disappointed for no reason. The best way to gamble is to expect nothing or stay neutral so if we eventually wins, that would increase our interest and when the outcome is negative, we can stay quiet since we don't expect too much from the bets.

This has been shared in our Facebook betting group with friends, so I thought I might just share it here as well.

For those who are in doubt that it is possible to win, maybe this can change their mind after seeing the evidence. I do not know the guy personally, but he has a Facebook account that you can verify, and I will share the link.

He bet only 100 pesos, which is just a little over $1, and hit a huge jackpot. I know it is mostly about luck, but seeing that it is possible can somehow inspire us.
It also shows that parlay is not really a waste of money if we just know how to limit our stake.

Well, this is a really inspiring example, because this is not just the case when a guy got an insane multiplier in slots, but a truly proven skill in predicting the results of matches. I hope that the author of this forecast did not lose a lot of money before he was able to make such an amazing multiplication of his deposit. And I hope that this bookmaker will easily allow this guy to withdraw funds, the code one has won so much. A truly inspiring case, thank you for sharing this post with us.

Others are talking about addiction when the original topic is about the guy who's won this parlay. Why not just celebrate with them and be happy with the outcome. We know that addiction is there around and it happens to almost everyone but, when victories are like this. It's worth sharing and take the good vibes out of it because it's not encouraging everyone to do the same and likely it's got a lot of losses he's got before nailing this parlay.

I think people are talking about the addiction for the reason that some persons are going to use this win as a motivation to start chasing such win too and on the process they could get addicted because they don't want to stop unless they win same amount too,  they won't know that this person that won the huge amount must have had several losses too. I just like the fact that the guy was lucky to win this huge amount.

[Vaculin]

they won't know that this person that won the huge amount must have had several losses too. I just like the fact that the guy was lucky to win this huge amount.

We don’t know for sure, but just my guess, the gambler who won this huge parlay probably already had big losses before, it is not like he only bet a parlay one time and won, he must have been consistently betting on it until the time came that he got lucky. But considering the amount he bet, it is not that much so it is fine to lose consistently with that before winning the jackpot, since it does not really impact that much IMO

All of that is just like the backstory of our success. We hit this kind of parlay and the payout is huge, it is like winning a jackpot, could be the biggest one, but we are more proud because we hit it in sports betting where we use our skills to analyze the game, compared to betting on the lottery with just random numbers and hoping we get lucky there.

Here, we feel some kind of fulfillment since we put in effort, with that number of combinations and to hit all of those, that is like proving we are good in sports betting.

This whole thing concerning huge win in gamble is all about luck. Fine he was lucy enough to hit it big with just a little amount of money but funny enough how some other gambler's will likely want to follow suit and sometimes with huge amount hoping to win twice of what the other guy won and most times it can end up becoming a disaster. However, a big shout-out to him on his success, nice one.

If you want to win big money on sports, you have to take a lot of risk, which is not possible for most gamblers. But this is the first time I've seen such high odds, it's a really commendable act. Yes you are right, many may try after seeing this success. This decision can be wrong because such a big multiplier is possible only through slot game, but in very small amount. When a gambler forgets reality then disaster strikes because very few people can prosper in life through gambling.

These seem like headlines specifically designed to attract the masses and newcomers to gambling. Even if it's true and the lucky winner is incredibly lucky, it's incredibly difficult and nearly impossible to replicate. The odds are extremely slim, but many will interpret this information differently, for example, thinking they can replicate it by overconfiding in themselves. Nevertheless, many players dream of such a moment in their gaming lives, thinking that achieving it will change everything in their lives. But this may not be the case, because even if a player is incredibly lucky, they may simply lose all their winnings, thinking their luck is now permanent or constantly wanting more and more.

It's important to understand what you're saying, but realistically, only half of the players will understand this. Many have built up huge victories in their heads that they intend to achieve no matter what, and only when they lose do they begin to understand what was important in the past, and not even all of it. It's crucial to grasp the subtleties and moments where we can win and understand where we have an advantage. Big odds and winnings are just a great marketing ploy, in my opinion.

That is quite a dangerous combination if you ask me, not having any idea about statistics and how multiplier works and allowing the big bring number of other gamblers payouts to carry one's away and fog our common sense.

It is kind of curious, because some people have said that the more one knows about statistics and math, it becomes less likely for one to partake in gambling, specially when such high multipliers are the objective of one.

Also, it is of public knowledge bookies and casinos get out their way to capitalize those big payouts through advertisement. It has become a basic strategy within this business, some may say it is immoral, but I think it not necessarily misleading to talk and put wins on the spotlight... It is people's fault for not analizing their own chances to amulate what it is being advertised.

This is exactly what I regularly do when I place my bets on sports betting websites. 1-2 single bets on 1X2 based on my research. And 1 parlay that consists of multiple matches until the odds reach thousands.

On the single bets, the max is $10 based on my confidence level, most of the time only $5 per bet. Meanwhile, the parlay is only $0.5 ~ $1. I treat it like a $1 lottery ticket. You may think I am burning money with the parlay bets I do. However, the 1-2 single bets sometimes subsidize the money I use on the parlay bet.

I never won the thousands odds yet. The max odds I've ever won on sports betting is just two-digit odds. If you never tried this before because you think it's just wasting money, it probably is. However, I am sure after you read the story of that guy who won those thousands odds, some or most of you will try it too. IMO, the most important thing before you do that is setting a daily/weekly budget, how much you will spend (count it as a loss even before you place your bets), and sticking to that budget strictly.
