If gamblers do not take into account the risk associated with each game, I am afraid that they will never be able to make money in gambling. The gambling houses know exactly that and they make full use of this situation when a gambler invests more in any bet. Even a bet with odds of 1.01 favours the gambling house because even if the gambler wins this easy bet, he or she will get the minimum amount of profit.
House edge is always set to favour the house and that is the true reflection of things, but the misconception in your reply is where mentioned that even though the gambler has won the bet he will not profit much, that is true anyways since the odd is small and the income will be almost unnoticed because .01 won't generate any meaningful percentages in profits but at least if the gambler won he will have return pf invested amount which is the staking amount including the winning even though it will not be much but at least the player won't be at lost.

 But if the gambler lost the bet, he will lose everything to the house, which is why the house will try all means to see the gambler losing the bet, this system is how casino house generates their revenue, and this is why w always say gambling is luck based and not about sure odds because the odds can change at whatever point just to favour the house against the players but with luck, it will at the end favours the gambler.

Before one set out to gamble, truly there is a need to settle the risk aspect of it and even though we gamble with the hope of making winning, we must also expect losses all g the line, because that is the nature of gambling you win some, you Lose some that is the way it goes.
Unfortunately, not all gamblers think about this, friends, because they start gambling with hope and think that gambling can make large amounts of money easily and quickly, but they don't think about the risk of losing and losing money with a larger percentage than winning.
People with this kind of thinking will usually only get defeat after defeat because they cannot accept the losses that they get so they want to chase victory.
But thank you, friend, because with your delivery this has indirectly given understanding to those who gamble just to take advantage.

That's why this thread keeping more replies because all gamblers can have a lesson after reading this and we a all know that every on of us are in different country and have a different value for our money like in my country which is 1.4 million dollars is huge money because 1 dollar is around
Exactly,  a lot of lessons have been learned from this incident and what makes it more touching is the fact that the amount lost is quite a significant amount that many think is enough money to change someone's life, this thread has been one of the threads that thought me how not to bet on sure odds since there are no odds that is 100% sure.

And also I have learned to minimize staking amount per time, this is because,  if the gamblers have a hard proper limit application, he or they won't have gone ahead to stake such an amount and that could have reduced the total amount I lose, from the replies of many members I have learned from the diverse experience of other in the forum and what they're thinking about the risk taken by the ops in question.

Making loses as a gambler is something we can not avoid that is why we need to work on our game so that as we are making few loses we are gaining big from the strategy we are using. Gambling is an activity and those would understand how it works do not bother themselves much about making loses. Win may be certain at some extent and we should always works or maximizing our profits and minimizing the loses so that we can make a very good profits from the casino we are using as a gambler.
I am amazed to see that this thread has already reached 40 pages and still counting, indeed this should be one of the biggest loses in the history of single bet odd for a long time because 1.4 million dollars is quite huge and with so many things happening around the gambling market where players are. Always warn to avoid taking too much risk on a bet even though we can avoid losses but we can at less minimize its impact on our financial well-being.

As a gambler we need to learn from others so that we are not going to be a victim of such a big loses. To make money as a gambler is not that easy that is why we must be ready and try many techniques that will work for us as a consistent gamblers. If we try a technique and it does not works for us, then we need to try another one that will work and give us the kind of profits we are looking for.

Irrespective of the kind of techniques we adopted, we cannot avoid going on losses because it's all about taking risk to either win or not, his lesson will go far way in teaching others not to be too forward and also to always considers the tendencies for the risk of loosing the game when gambling because nothing is too sure until one wins, just that he had learnt his own lesson in the hard way makes him share with you all to learn from his experience, some couldn't have.

If you are greedy, you often end up empty handed. That gambler from the OP was sure about making $11k out of nothing. In other words, he wanted to take all the money bet on the Jaguars, and thought it was easy. It wasn't. Even if you are so rich that you can bet over a million in one bet, don't think you are so smart too. You don't. And now all those brave gamblers that placed their bets on Jaguars are sharing your money between them.

Thinking that you can outsmart the house by placing an almost sure bet with 99% winning chances, only to find out that it will turned to the other side and the house are the one who outsmart you, they simply take away millions out of your pocket while thinking that you can just as easily cash out some thousand if in the event you got the winning team.

There's always an unusual outcome and gambling is a full of risk venue to think that you can make an easy money, always have that extra research before concluding or deciding to how you will place you bet.
Here, what you say about earning "easy" money - this should always be checked.  Usually this is how, promising to get quite a lot of money, without putting any effort or work adequate to the amount, scammers deceive naive citizens.  And among ordinary people there are a huge number of naive fools who believe scammers.  And they lose their hard-earned money.  However, it is not always easy to check the intentions of someone who promises a big win.  Sometimes people affected by such a loss of money claim that they voluntarily made a bet or simply trusted someone with their money under the influence of some kind of hypnotic state.  And at such a moment, they were not even fully aware of the logic that they were doing wrong or even making a gross mistake.  All these are mysteries of the human psyche. 
Because then they all know what a stupid thing they did. 
But it's' too late. Angry

Though the sentiment of my reply is regarding to how Op's story, but yeah, your opinion is right there are also times that people forget about the importance of doing their own research and sometimes they just entrust their money with other people and that's also possible with gambling, thinking that the tip is all good they just blindly place their bets without researching and confirming the chances of winning.

They will just realize the mistakes once the money is already gone, as the bet has been burned and lose.

The key about gambling is having fun, not making money as a gambler. You can try different techniques if this makes you happy, but is not the correct approach if you do it in order to find a system to get sustainable profits that works.

We don't know whether the gambler in the OP lost those 1.4 millions for the shake of fun or as a financial strategy. In the first case, if he was already rich, had his life figured out, and was looking for some kind of excitement, it is ok; but if it was a "double or nothing" bet, it wasn't a good strategy (there is no limit for that: Martingale doesn't work.

Quote from: Wikipedia
In most casino games, the expected value of any individual bet is negative, so the sum of many negative numbers will also always be negative.

The martingale strategy fails even with unbounded stopping time, as long as there is a limit on earnings or on the bets (which is also true in practice).[1] It is only with unbounded wealth, bets and time that it could be argued that the martingale becomes a winning strategy.

Losing is part of the game and gambling will not be fun if there is no record of losses, but constantly losing is what we should try to avoid, but ultimately we must lose, and since gambling is a game of luck and risk, everyone is already aware of that and we are all taking whatever the outcome of our bet an in good faith.

Ops that lost 1.4 million dollars was just taking his normal luck trial but this time the odds did not go in his favour, but next time he may win big which will help him recover everything he lost this time.
It would really be no fun at all if you are really that playing gambling without having that particular risks in line on losing up your bet which it is true but we know that most gamblers would definitely be going after
 
on how to make money on it and making that assure that they are really that on the right choice.Common behavior of gamblers is that whenever they do see a one sided match then they would really be
going or having that all in type of betting which they do believe that they could make out sure money into it.Of course when it comes to thrill and excitement then its there and
we know that we arent that dumb not to know on what are those outcomes neither win or lose.

There are still casinos that offer gamblers investments. You can visit Blackjack.fun, BetFury.io, and Owl.games. After you register and log into your account, you will find an offer to become an investor and there are many coins you can make as an investment, including bitcoin. But I don't know what the percentage of investment in the casino is. Perhaps, you can visit the casino's ANN threads to ask their representatives. Giving gamblers a choice of investment programs is an alternative that can be given to members so that they can invest besides gambling.
Yes, I've heard that some of the casinos you mentioned do accept investors to come in and invest in freely selectable tokens as investment assets.
But it seems that the profit will be the same as if investing in the official crypto market and no more profit if investing in a casino.
After all, an investor would not dare to invest large amounts of money in tokens in a casino as it is very risky. If only with a little money there may be a sense of calm, but if using large amounts of money it is better to divide it into several forms of investment.
Anything can happen, including bad things, so we as investors have to be more careful.

The sum announced is really a tough thing to lose, so that gambler must have been a millionaire. If not, then its too strange... However there are such cases when a person loses not only what belongs to him, but also what he borrowed. I hope that guy will recover the money if he is in charge... As for millionaire gambler, that's just usual situation, there are people who spend millions with the same ease as we spend hundreds.
In fact there is nothing strange and I think that betting large amounts does not mean that people are very rich, Even sometimes there is someone who only has 1 million dollars he used to bet all just to get a small win but he thinks the win is sure.
Besides though sports betting cannot guarantee victory, all of that still requires luck.
Even though he is a millionaire but I think he will also feel very sorry for doing such a reckless thing.
The bet is so high that the only ones which cannot really be affected by losing such sum are the people with an incredible amount of power, anyone else will cry tears of blood by losing so much money in such a short amount of time, and while I have an open mind and I am not against people gambling as I gamble occasionally as well, like most of the forum members on this thread, losing such a massive amount of money is a mistake no matter how long I think about this event.

If we try a technique and it does not works for us, then we need to try another one that will work and give us the kind of profits we are looking for.

As a gambler, one thing you need to know. that in every gamble, everything carries a risk. that is, you must be prepared to lose the money you risk. in this case, sports betting. so it's not a matter of being a victim of defeat, because you are faced with the choices you make in the betting session. sports betting can also involve an element, one might say a kind of technique. here we will need your insight, knowledge, and foresight in every bet. plus, instinct.

At the very least, you need a process we call analysis. in every consideration, we will be faced with two teams that will compete, looking for all the latest information, comparing them, looking for weaknesses in each other, then deciding the bet. yes, the process is not simple if you want to minimize losses. if the gamble isn't ideal. as in the case of this thread, at 1.01 odds. you can look for other options. even if you can, you are looking for other bets that are more ideal in any way including the odds. yes, in essence, as I said at the beginning. As a gambler, you must be prepared for the risk of losing.
You have no idea, rahmad2nd. You risk everything when you wager; you don't just lose money. Every day, whether we choose it or not, we lay down our chips in life's big bet. As you said, taking risks calls for knowledge, comprehension, and a modicum of foresight. But wait, we also need to add some political savvy and innovation. The media and influential people try to obscure our vision, but we have to see through it. We need to figure out how to alter the recurring patterns and fads in our life. We must take chances that terrify others if we want to create our own luck. In the end, it's more important to live your best life possible and take it all in. And let me tell you, my friend, if you go into it with the appropriate attitude and a game plan, that trip can be a wild, crazy adventure.
