Well, as I said in some of the previous posts. that the man we are discussing in this thread, knows very well every risk he will accept if what he is betting on is not what he expected. if we point at low odds with @1.01, then the probability or percentage to win is very high.
Only, the problem is that this man bet the fantastic amount of $ 1.4 million. many of us, argue that the profits earned are not in accordance with the capital at stake. but, this is gambling. that the bookies only provide the available odds. the rest, we as gamblers choose and determine it. in this case, the gambler seems to have great confidence that he will win his bet. reasonable, because considering the available odds have a high probability of winning. Unfortunately, this man was having such an unlucky day that in fact, he lost his bet.
Well I will like to correct a notion here from personal experience, lower odds doesn't translate into sure winning and that is what trick ops into gambling with such a high amount of thinking because the odds of the bet stand at 1.01 makes it a sure game to win and he filtered away a whopping 1.4 million in a bet.
-This is not the best condition for oos right now and I hope we all learn from this event not to rely on the odds to make our game selections.
You are probably mistaken mate, please note or rather, have it in mind that the topic being discussed did not happen to the OP, that is one that started this discussion.
According to OP, this was a something that was being discussed on another forum (I think Reddit), which he found interesting and decide to share the story here as well.
We do not know the person in particular, who gambled away $1.4m in betting, but rest assured it's not OP, as I believe that if it was him or her, he wouldn't even have the courage or power to past about it here, this is if he or she is even feeling OK after such a huge loss.
