The first category is composed of sports bettors with a $1000 bankroll who hope to make $100,000 by the end of the year. In what universe do they think this is possible? Such expectations are unrealistic and only occur in the lottery, not in sports betting. Even in sports betting, it would be a chance occurrence, happening only once in every 100 bets. A more realistic expectation would be to aim for increasing their bankroll.

The second category consists of individuals seeking guaranteed wins and fixed bets or matches. These individuals are frequently seen on platforms such as Twitter, Telegram, Discord, and others where sports betting is discussed. They are often the first to express their desire for guaranteed games and fixed matches/bets, believing they will surely win. Unfortunately, these individuals are easily scammed due to scammers taking advantage of their gullibility.

This is why there are odds to know if how much return we can get once we win. Unless if that bettor is a newbie and didn't learn about these basic things. There is a chance that they can expect an unrealistic profit. In your first example/category, I think a $1k capital is big and then a 1 year time frame is long, therefore I think a $100k profit is pretty possible but OFC as long as the bettor had a good knowledge on the specific sport that he choose.

You mentioned the lottery there but this one has unrealistic odds than in sports betting. On your second example/category, you are right for the most part but there are some who really have a connection from the inside.

I have encountered both categories of this unrealistic sports bettors that you have listed. The first category of artistic sports bet is that hope to increase your bankroll ridiculously are you a very inexperienced and new to gambling. If they are old and have been gambling for a while they know that it is not an easy task especially when you are sports-betting to increase your bankroll up to 10x. The second category is comprised of lazy people who do not care about making their own analysis but depending on other people's bets to make money, they continue to loose and will only be lucky to win once in a while, but that is not the method any gambler should learn. Another unrealistic set I have met is those that have started a project and are depending on constantly winning from betting to finance the project to completion, gambling is not a source of income.

Basically, those 2 that you have mentioned is not unrealistic, they are real and possible, however it is just hard to attain.
$1k to $100k in a year is very much possible if you consistently betting every single day and of course constantly winning without draining your $1k capital. $1k to $100k in a single day of sports betting - that is impossible. I guess that's what you mean since you mentioned about lottery. In lottery you could get more than $100k is one day if you hit the jackpot.
Regarding the second one, yes there are fixed match set up only for the syndicates involving massive amount of money and of course it is not available for the general public - so those who are seeking for fixed match betting are plainly stupid and they are 100% going to be scammed.
Again, those you have mentioned is not "UNREALISTIC", they are real and possible, but it's really HARD to attain.

I honestly laugh a lot when scammers write all outcomes as comments, hide them and after matches end only share accurate one. Many people are taking this bait. I don't think our government can solve this issue still.
I see that in sports betting, many people wanna try 2.5 plus or minus goals a lot. They feel its easier to bet on that compared to guessing accurate result. I think chances are not that different. And odds are much lower. I prefer guessing accurate result.

I agree with most of the posts above about the first category, i've seen bettors hit some long parlays or go on a massive winning streak while going all in on every single bet. It's not common for most gamblers to achieve these very high winning amounts, but it's doable.

Quote from: Fortify on June 18, 2023, 12:29:01 PM

In general there are so many "tipsters" out there who claim to have super high win ratios, but in reality you'd be lucky if they made 51% of winning bets in their portfolio. There is a lot of fakery out there, where people claim to predict certain outcomes but if you dig a bit deeper, you find out that they actually "predicted" results after the outcomes were realized, or simply that they hype up their wins while ignoring their loss ratio. Many of these people will be asking for money in order to access their tips, but that is where they really source their income. If they were genuinely profitable then they would have no need to create such a side venture as selling profitable ideas, they'd just use them.

They are common in different platforms and can easily trick the new bettors into following them when the truth is they're losing. The shitty part is when they put a price tag on their picks, and that's where their downfall starts since most bettors discourage others from paying for picks.

These wild and unrealistic expectations make gambling so popular. Same with altcoin trading. People invest in alts because they think they can replicate the success of bitcoin if they become an early investor of some shitcoin. Sometimes it happens but sometimes people also win the lottery and their $100 coupon win them the big prize. Every once in a while these miracles happen. People are addicted to this hope. As M. Freeman said: "Hope is a dangerous thing. It may make you poor." As Andy D. said: "Hope is a beautiful thing. It may make you rich." See? Both of these dudes are right actually. The question is, which one are you gonna follow?

I beg to differ, although this is not really representative of the general sportsbettor population, I've seen people in here (exactly this forum) post ludicrous bets that yield them massive wins. One of which is @NAPK1NS_RAE (I'm not sure if I got his username correctly, but I digress) who got famous in this forum while still being a newbie by bagging massive wins, only to fumble them later lmao. I've seen him win a bet for 90k in one go, and then lose all of it on a soccer match right after. He almost bagged 500k last time if I'm not mistaken but he fumbled it again. If this was a regular guy we're talking about I'd seriously stop and advise him to not make any more belligerent bets cause that's going to put a dent on his life and his future but it seems like this guy could bag wins if he wanted to and he's doing this for fun, albeit he still regrets losing lots of money especially after a massive win is fumbled. Anyhow, I'd still agree with you on everything, just wanted to talk about the guy who broke the system (for me) and the guy that's exempted from all this "don't make ludicrous bets" shenanigans.

Actually, the first one is possible but only if someone has god-level accuracy where they won't get a single loss and they keep placing bets with everything they manage to win from their last match, but that is very unlikely to happen because one can basically keep winning all their bets until they reach $100,000 from just $1,000, so though it is possible but the probabilities of it happening are very low.

Those who go after guaranteed wins are mostly going to lose because there is basically no guaranteed win in sports betting as anything can happen and sometimes, even the favorite team loses against the team that is always losing and isn't performing so well at that particular period.

There are gamblers, who think that they will strike a big hit and win the jackpot.
There are other gamblers, who think that they could be making money consistently and use sports betting as a replacement of their 9-to-5 job. I think that both types of gamblers are delusional, more of less. Perhaps it's kinda possible for a really good sports bettor to have consistent winnings and to make good money out of sports betting. The problem is that I've never seen any successful sports bettors, who are doing this for a living. Maybe such sports bettors do exist, but they keep their lifestyle a secret.
The tipsters, who are selling sports betting services(including fixed games) are 99% scammers. There's no doubt about that.
Some people have unrealistic perception about their luck, while other people have unrealistic perception about their skills.
There are people, who are dumb enough to think that they could outsmart the bookies or trick the system.

Another category of people i would want to add are those who expect to win in gambling, I don't think people should expect but rather hope to win because expectations leads to great disappointment and as a gambler, we shouldn't build our hopes on expectations rather learn to use the amount of money we are willing to lose for gambling.
I was also one of those persons who always wanted some form of guaranty on each of my bets and I can really relate with how much gullible this set of persons can be because most of this scammers have to build on the gullibility of this set of gamblers and rip them off of their money.

The first category can be achieved but not easy because there are many things to prepare. But it is more achievable in sports betting because if one knows one or a few sports well, they can get a nice win. But it might be more difficult to achieve if it's in a luck-based gambling game.

The second category is that there is no guarantee you can win from gambling, but you will probably encounter losses more often than wins. And again, sportsbooks have more chances of winning because they can analyze to find the team with the best chance of losing.

Maybe this third category wants to make gambling a steady income. It's unrealistic because they have to calculate how much money they will have, when they can win, etc. It would be even more difficult and even if they were an expert in sports betting, they would not be able to win all the time as the match progressed, there could be changes which would result in them losing the bet.

This is very realistic and some gamblers has been able to do this before. Maybe if you said from $1000 to $1million then that's when some doubt would had come in because that's looking very impossible although not saying it isn't achievable, some gamblers has luck on their side.
.
Using compounding any gambler that's very knowledgeable in sport betting and also has luck on his side can turn $1000 to $100,000. If he could double his wins every weekend, it won't take him more than six month to be able to reach $100,000 considering some lose in some weekends.

I don't think there's any unrealistic amount of profits to be made in betting, it might be unrealistic to you when you limit your mind to what's possible. Gambling is all about been lucky and we have those that their luck has given them life changing money.

Eh, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. It is a year after all, it's not like they're trying to go and reach the goal in one bet. While it may seem close to impossible but hey, there's probably a really small chance of them being able to do that. Especially if you take big but calculated risks. Granted that one win is all it takes to ruin it if they're trying to maximize profits but as I said, it's over the span of a year. Can take calculated risks every now and then so no need to rush on their side.

In the first category, but rather than in a year, it's more like in a single bet. People expecting to bet like idk, $10 and suddenly win what, $1000 or $10000? Man should've went for lotteries instead. It's pretty dumb but hey, I've known a few people who have that kind of mindset in the past.

Turning $1,000 to $100,000 is technically possible, it's only 100x of your bankroll while lottery give you a chance to spend $1 to win $100,000+ which is completely based on luck. If you carefully place your bet on sportsbook and not looking to earn a quick profit by gambling on lucky based games, you can accumulate each winning little by little to multiply your bankroll for hundred times.

$1000 to $100k in a year is entirely possible with a little bit of luck. You would have to be betting really aggressively, but if you can get on a streak while going all in on every bet you could make 100k in a month honestly. Is it likely? No, but it could definitely be done.

About on having that $1000 to $100k is indeed possible and this would really be attained via making some win on multiple parlays and this is where things turns out to be unrealistic. We know that parlays arent something

that would really be so simple for us to make those sure hits and making those bet amounts to be on multiple folds but im not saying that this one is impossible.If a certain individual does have that kind of target then just let them be because its their money to be used and not something that you could really be able to do on what they would really be tending to do so. This is why it would really be that much better
on letting them on what they would gonna do with their 1k. For those people who do believe on fixed matches and trying out to believe to those who do make out some false or scammy claims then
for sure they would soon realized on the time that they had been scammed.

It's possible if you win several big parlays in a row, but you need to have a very big luck to be able to achieve that. Because usually parlays have a smaller RTP than single bets with the same odds usually. Because the margin of each leg is multiplied by the margin of the other legs, so at the end you can get a parlay with a big margin.

Knowing someone from the inside that conducts game fixing is another unrealistic sports betting expectation that I have encountered. There are lots of them on Telegram but obviously, most of them are scams. Another thing is the promise of a guaranteed win. That is impossible unless the people have access to the system.

honestly I don't even know if these people who bet with 1000$ and want 100k can be said to be in some category because what I've seen are people who bet a lot of money because they also want to win a lot of money, hardly the people who want to have 100k are betting 1000 $ that for them is a very small amount to bet because the guys who want to win a lot of money don't make multibet bets so they have to make single bets which forces them to have to put a lot of money in each single bet, last year when I was run soccer world cup games

out of curiosity I went to see who bet the most in the games and I was shocked by what I was seeing, the guys bet 10,000$ in each game and there were people who made bets with much higher values than these, they were the whales, so I honestly doubt it very much that someone can turn $1000 into $100,000 with sports betting, although I've seen people say they've done this, these people have not shown proof, and I very much doubt that professional bettors would have that kind of goal. As for the guys looking for guaranteed wins, well I imagine it's a matter of time for them to realize that they're looking for something impossible in the long run.

only few people can turn such amount into 100k, and more then likely, those are professional sportsbettors where they live and breath that particular sports. they already know the techniques how to grow their money thru time. but aside from their knowledge of the sports, it would take time and dedication to grow such amount.
a lot of gamblers have their high expectations but they should remind themselves that this is why it is called gambling, because you have no assurance of winning.

Not even a professional would guarantee a $1000 bet to $100k. this was also related to one's luck, though doing some analysis wouldn't be that easy. About more realistic expectations indeed as the OP said i.e. increasing their bankroll. Few people can afford $100k amount in sports betting. many want a big win right now, even though that doesn't look realistic and is just a wish that won't come true, in the end they will waste bets with little wins.
