This is really a sad story and I was wondering how the owner of the money might be feeling now but I had to first if the money used for gambling was an amount the gambler was willing and ready to loss and if he predicted the game or was a presumed fixed match and if it was a fixed match then who ever was responsible for releasing such amount of money just for a single game truly needs to be taken to the hospital for treatment and mental health check up but I'm not certain if it was just naturally

If that was the case and the person that made that bet can afford to lose that much money then there is not problem, but I doubt it, and it is the size of the bet which tells me otherwise.

It does not matter who you are, a bet of 1.4 millions is simply too high, so if I were to guess I would suppose the gambler which made that bet has serious problems with their gambling, problems which got even worse after the massive loss they suffered.

With that much money, let alone experiencing defeat at the gambling table, can give us a little explanation that there is a possibility that the person is experiencing mental problems that he must cure immediately before it's too late. We might hope that it was by accident that the person gambled with that much money and lost. But losing that money already makes a person go bankrupt if he doesn't have much money because that's a lot for most people.

we all know about the saying gamble with money you can afford to lose.
I'm not sure how the gambler felt after losing $1.4 million but considering the above statement I have a different opinion.

I think it's possible that the gambler is very rich and he feels he has nothing to lose if he loses the game. because he already has a planned budget of funds ready to lose. so he dared to bet using $ 1.4 million for 1 match.
but even though that person is very rich but I think that feeling of disappointment he will definitely feel in a few days. because that $1 million is a lot and gone in a matter of minutes.
but I'm sure according to my thinking the gambler's condition is now fine just enjoying his disappointment.

Following you with your statement, yes, even that gambler if ever that he's that rich, but the disappointment after assuming that he has a higher chance of winning the game might really affect him. Though, if that gambler is really rich, then it's not hard for him to move forward and forget about this mess that he did.

We don't know what's the real deal is about him after losing that amount, assuming that he's rich then for sure he already moves forward and possible that he already doing some bet and continues his gambling activities.

Any chance. Even if small. That this was a fat finger mistake?

It reminds me of Taleb’s concepts on avoiding ruin at all costs
Let’s just hope this wasn’t a big percentage of the gamblers money. But I could bet this is not the case

This seems unlikely, the bet was likely made at a fiat casino and the bet had very high chances to be won at that point, to me the most likely scenario was that the gambler simply thought of this as free money and took the bet with everything they had at their account at the time, only for the very worst scenario to materialize and lose everything they had, just like you I hope this was not all his money but I have my reasons to believe this was the case.

I absolutely agree with you, looking at the odds, we can clearly understand that the gambler really believed that the game would come out as a win, so like you said , he decided to bet everything he had so as to get the profit up to $11,000 which is actually a lot of money to make in one day, but unfortunately for him or her, things turned out as it did with Argentina vs Saudi Arabia game last year in 2022 world cup, and this guy lost his money, i honestly believe that the guy gambled all his money away, it is very possible.

That is another good example, who would have thought that the team that eventually became the world champions will lose a match against Saudi Arabia of all teams? I do not think that even the most ardent fans of Saudi Arabia thought that was even possible at all and yet it happened, and if that can happen on the world of sports then we must recognize that anything can happen and we must never bet all of our money at once or we will suffer the same fate.

Well, from all indications, like I've said before in my previous comments, this gambler absolutely believed this game would pull through, and he or she was just after some quick profit, which is why he or she wagered such an amount of money to win about $11k in return, but unfortunately, the game failed to click.
It is actually frustrating that we do not know who this gambler is, would have been really interesting to know how he or she is doing, but all the same, i just hope we all learn from this and never gamble in such a manner, no matter how much money we have.

In the case of this gambler, it is a clear case of gambling addiction if not how can a player bet a woooping 1.4 million on a bet simply because he is following odds, this is a clear case of disorder and the individual should be checked to avoid a future bad situation.

It could be that the person who has lost is just an ordinary gambler who is not addicted to gambling but wants to win the game by using lots of money as a bet.
All we know is that person has suffered so many defeats that we can't even imagine if that happened to us.
Well, maybe the person needs to be checked to see if he has a gambling addiction or if he just lost control because he wanted the big win.
But it should be avoided by all gamblers because it is not worth using a lot of money to gamble, especially small gamblers.

I think that gambler is addicted because as we can see that 1.4million USD is very big money. I think that gambler is not contented on what he/she have or Greed is controlling him as was all know that once a tour greed will control then you don't care if you will loss and only thing came up your mind that you will Win and win .
We can not denied the fact that once we loss we need to revenge and win.

Going all in? No one really knows if that guy had put up all of his riches on that particular moment or bet which there's no way on finding it out but i doubt that it is really just a part of his money and its true that

he had made out some all in kind of betting which he had really though that this is really just an easy money for him on a particular game.Assuring 100% winning chance? This doesnt happen on betting world.

Yes, we could say on which games are one sided but its never been that recommendable that you should really be doing some all in type of betting behavior.
It would really wrekt you up big time.

No one can say for certain whether or not the individual who placed the wager truly risked all of their wealth by doing so. In the realm of gambling, there is never any assurance that a player will have a hundred percent probability of winning. Although certain games could seem to be unfair, it is never a good idea to depend primarily on that and you should always play properly. Going all in might be appealing, but doing so runs the risk of causing you to lose everything and putting you in a worse situation than you were in before. Because of this, it is essential to constantly have a sound game plan and to avoid allowing our emotions to cloud our judgments.

https://nypost.com/2023/01/15/gambler-loses-massive-1-4-million-bet-on-chargers-jaguars-game/

Quote

One bettor wasted a massive $1.4 million wager after betting on Los Angeles before the Jaguars mounted an epic comeback to beat the Chargers 31-30, according to Action Network’s Darren Rovell.

It seems that a gambler has loss this massive amount (1.4 million USD) playing a bet with an odds lower than 1.01! (exactly 1.008)

I think there are several lessons here:
- there is not easy bet! even lower odds there is always a risk.
- it's really risky playing an huge amount. This not helps gambler because the risk is much much higher then rewards!
- gambling is not easy at all! it's really hard achieve a profit even for easy games!

what your opinion about this gambling issue? did you had experience similar experience? how a good gambler should avoid such mistakes?

Most major losses in gambling are caused by greed and discontentment. A successful gambler must know when to walk away even in the period of wins or loses. It is true that we all try to recover losses by betting more but most reports shows that it leads to more losses.

My advise is that every gambler must have a plan for his gambling lifestyle and a budget should be attached to this plan. We shouldn't also see gambling as a major source of revenue or a full time job. It should be seen as a source of entertainment or passive income. It is also important to be disciplined. We must set boundaries for our gambling activities so that we will be aware of when to gamble and when to walk away.

Do not forget that there are people that had been making consistent profits from the small odds you are against. Everybidy has things that works for them that might not work for you. Gambling is just all about what works for us so you can think that there are not persons makingoney from that small odds.

At first glance, betting only on low odds may seem a good and a profitable strategy but in practice it's not.
First, to make a good profit from low odds, you need to wager high amounts. Hence, if you lose even a single bet (although the probability of this happening is very low) the loss will be painful and you will have hard time to recover what you lost.
The only good thing about this strategy is that it allows you to extend the session for too long.

It's left for the gambler on the actual fact about this matter, but i know that having such experience with other gamblers isn't a new thing anymore, many have lost away more than that or even below without being left with an alternative, you gamble, you take risk, you win it's turns your money and when you loose as well it return to the casino, but the source to the money used get to be in question, don't be freaking busy for nothing with gambling odds that changes nothing about your winning or loosing.

^If you are able to win that is all about luck and not just because how much the percentage of the odds.
But you are definitely right, manage your temper and your greed so that you don't have a big loss, the thing that causes you to become an empty pocket is that you are chasing your loss. Whatever happens, don't chase your loss because it may lead to frustration while gambling, and it can be out of your focus. So for me, gambling is based on luck and nothing more, stop when luck was not on your side.

Of course it really has to do with how big the percentage of available odds is. a matter of luck, that is another matter. but based on the odds, the dealer gives the percentage of which team is more superior to win the match. imagine, if in a sports match it is only about luck. then, why do bookies provide varying odds. So, it's about the skills of the players, the depth of the team, the strength of the team, because of that the bookie gives lower odds on the stronger team. and gives high odds, to the opposing team that is not favored.

But by the way, I agree with the other points you mentioned. at least, we must avoid chasing losses that have been lost before and make gambling just entertainment and fun.

Personally I don't think it's a bad decision. I had this similar strategy before (of course with extremely lower amount than what has been mentioned in the OP). This strat worked for me. I barely lose any round from those bets.
I would say that this time, he got very unlucky. Above all, this is gambling regardless of how little the odds of losing, you can still lose. I hope that bettor was aware of the risk.

I don't think the bettor had anything in his mind that he would lose, nor did he doubt that he didn't feel the risk that he took, to be honest.

Then one more thing, it's not our problem if the bettor lost by a large amount, although, most of us here can't deny that we regretted the 1M$ that the bettor bet, they seemed to be sorry, in fact, there are many of us can be bought for that 1M$.

What the bettor feels is only the feeling of wanting to gamble and trying to win the game but unfortunately, this is not accompanied by receiving any results when he is done gambling. For rich people, it doesn't matter that they have lost that big, but not for people who really hope to win and use a lot of money to gamble. We will be very sorry if we lose that $1 million and maybe we will think about ending our lives. For this reason, we have to really think about how much money we will use for gambling and always think about what if we lose. Are we ready for the loss?
