Or this. A fake news to gain users. Clickbait article to increase traffic to their website. And if they are advertising something in the article, then yes, it is actually fake. But who knows. He might be a lucky guy who studied all the games and took the chance.

Or not. You can get them right without having a deep knowledge, by pure randomness, in the same way there are people who win the lottery buying only one number. As I said in my previous message, improbable events end up happening, so I do believe that the story can be real. The fact that it is about predicting Premier League results does not detract from its credibility for me.

Pound or pence? Because others are saying pound. But nonetheless, turning 60 pound or 60 pence to almost more than 150k pound is a lot. Had to be very lucky accurately predict all those 16 match. Or he has some sort of insider information.

Actually, I guess luck purely can't explain this event, there must be something else! Or are these fake news?

Fake or not, in sports betting, there's really high chance the bettor got it correct. That is, if he is really very familiar with the sports. Though getting all correct results is still very hard even if you are an experienced bettor, it comes with the luck also. Because even if you know all the teams, somehow, they can still lose for no reason. Anyway, this kind of winning we all know is very rare. So don't lose your savings just to aim for this kind of winning.

from the post above it illustrates that in my environment it is the same way, through P2p or without a website to gamble. From friends to friends and done without any machine. Indeed, it is more practical without having to deposit or any risk. The name is gambling, of course 50% can It's just wrong. Indeed, football clubs are common and become a favorite spectacle of all people and it's a shame if you miss it especially if the big leagues are playing. But in my opinion it's safer than gambling via crypto on certain sites because the price is a little down at the moment, in my opinion Today's crypto is more suitable for long-term investment and gambling is more comfortable using fiat money or other digital money. Although people have different tastes in gambling

I doubt anyone can predict so many winning situations so accurately.

/..

TLDR: Probably a PR stunt. I don't really believe it.

Luck doesn't need explanation or very specific reasons, as long as there is a probability for it to happen then it will happen.
As for the news, its a bet for what team will win for 16 games, although its quite easy to choose between loss and win but for a draw, it could be a lot ti think of. But the winner get that so its really pure luck.

There are people who dont really actually believe about on how lucky on being lucky on this particular extent.Luck doesnt have indeed boundaries as long it does have odds or chances for you to hit then it would happen.

16 games isnt something that you could see everyday thats why some people doesnt really believe that it did really happen thats why they do say it is some PR.
Its up to them whether this is legit or not but we know that there are indeed chances or probabilities.

As far as I see it, this is either fake news and / or a PR stunt for a certain casino or the Gambler did indeed make over 150k from 60 pence. If he did, then he was obviously EXTREMELY lucky, or maybe a time traveler from the future. I doubt anyone can predict so many winning situations so accurately. There are just too many variables in the way to make such predictions. I really hope it is real news because that man would be leading a nice, or rather decent retirement with that much cash. Really hope he does not decide to gamble it all again. I doubt he will keep his lucky streak up for long.

TLDR: Probably a PR stunt. I don't really believe it.

This can be done once you've managed to have someone give you information on who's gonna win. Some (or most) sports are rigged. I've just recently learned this from Ludwig (a streamer) from his youtube video about his experience in gambling in a casino at Los Angeles[1]. Rich people really get more richer because of such information. Therefore, I don't think it really isn't impossible, you just need great connections.

Sometimes life would really teach you lessons in the hard way. And during those times, it would be better to have people by your side who could provide you other perspective and help you figure things out. That said, I think having someone by your side to give opinions and suggest safekeeping some profits could be beneficial for a gambler. And to also have someone making gamblers thinking twice of every decision they do.

This punter is either the biggest genius at analyzing British football in the world or he's extremely lucky(or maybe both).
Perhaps he could give some betting advice on Premier League and Championship games to us for free(or maybe for a fee).
I'm sure that he tried doing this in the past,but failed multiple times.Betting low amounts on a big sequence of games seems like an interesting strategy.I might try it.
Guessing the winning teams out of 16 games probably has lower odds than guessing the lottery numbers,I'm no mathematician. Grin

Good for him.He could reinvest that money into sports betting or start his own betting advice website.

If you are interested in betting with large odds, that is, multibets, then you will be interested in reading my topic: Why a single bet is better than a multi bet. The strategy of betting on many events is very unprofitable and his winning is pure luck. Another question is that if you want to get such a huge odds, then you should multibet. But in fact, it is much more profitable to make such a bet in dice.

The more bets you do make the more risk you would really be taking considering that 1 loss on multi-bets or parlays will really be considered total lost thats why im not really that much interested on betting on it no matter how good the total odds would be able to hit up.

If you are really that confident in terms of those teams/players on the line then its not bad on having multi-bets or parlays.For this one making 60 to hundred of thousands is something
do identifies true luck.

Its almost or close to impossible considering that some choices arent on money line.

It is not about profitable or not, but it is more about preferences because betting in single bet may not something profitable for some users.
I'm not betting sports regularly but once I want to bet, I'll choose to play multi bets because I have the chance to win bigger with smaller bets.
Comparing multi bets in sports betting to dice (high multiplier) is not apple to apple because dice is pure luck based game.
Sports need some researches, knowledge, and analysis first before placing a bet.
Even if you are forcing to compare multi bets to dice, profitable or not is based on the final result not about what game to play.

This was a careful selection although surprises still happens but luck and chance made the prediction worth every odd picked. This might not be his first time taking such an unrealistic stake but got lucky trying this time around. This doesn't look like a random selection though it's more like games that were carefully selected but luck gave winning a chance.

It was only because he got lucky at that bet that he was able to earn a lot of money. But if he goes back to gambling and places a bet then it is not necessarily that he will get another win because no one knows if his luck is still with him. He should be aware of that and not try to keep playing and rather use the money for his life. Who knows he could make a business outside of gambling so that it could be a way for him to earn even more money outside of gambling.

Well, I know that feeling of confidence when you've just won and tasting victory.

But when you've been there and done that, you'll definitely going to take action so that your past mistakes won't happen again. It's important for you to have it set aside and make sure that it's safe and being kept.

Because in gambling, you may win today and for the next days but it won't be forever on that place.

If you do really value those profits that you had made then you would really be buying or save up in terms of your priorities and savings then you would stop gambling or make betting once again
yet it would really be just creating some chance for you to spend all of your winnings again back into the site and its true that not all day in gambling would be profitable.
For sure it would really come into a point that you would be spending all of those winnings if you arent really that aware on what you are doing.

Saving at the moment would be ideal.

And then think of what's going to be the next step that you would like to take.

But if decided to gamble again, don't get all of those huge amounts that you've got. It's better to start all over again with the little money that you have started.

Add some if you want but don't put at risk all of it because you're not lucky everyday.

I will just have to say waow to this won ticket, only a legend can do this in over a night, but by the way, the story is incomplete. I have a seen a similar ticket played and won but the odd and the wage money was up to this amount and the guy did excellently and was able to cashout fine without any problem by the sportsbook but the problem issue is the player won't discuss with you unless that they have been here for long and they wouldn't tell you the histories of their losses, check the amounts of money they lost in tickets, they are always enormous and can accounts up to half what they win in real life though in this case, the story is different as the player bet with a penny.

How many percent of people would get the same chance as this rare occurrence, he guessed all exactly how someone who had teleported to the future and returned to the past guessed the score he already knew. However, that rare moment will very rarely be repeated a second time and still bet based on consideration and analysis not to bet against the lust for high profits.

100% full accurate, in this world I think it only belongs to that winner...

this is the story of a person who sounds like experiencing the impossible, I just never had an accurate guess up to 100%. I don't know if the winner has already won hundreds of times like this because if it's just based on chance then it's impossible for someone to have that much luck.

You could not have that kind of luck if you do not understand how the game works and understand everything about it, you developed your instinct over time and a mixture of luck will make that winning possible, it only applies to sports betting but it's possible to win that way, we all know that it's hard to hit the jackpot in a lottery, but people still win, anything is possible in gambling, it's rare but it happens.

How can you explain such fortunate winning happening for real? It looks unlikely and unrealistic even for a Hollywood movie script!

So are you suggesting that he may have fixed all 16 games ? or better yet he can be an undercover time traveler ?

Of course its luck unrealistic yes, but it happened so yeah one lucky guy.

I don't know, there are different hypothesis: fixed matches, time traveller, fake news, fate or supernatural influence which can't be understood or explained by the science... Wink

What most amazes me is that it's not like winning 16 times in a roll on dice, roulette or at any other gambling game. This gambler managed to pick the only correct draw result among 16 games and also predicted correctly a match which changed the result at his favour at 92 minutes of gameplay!

Quote from: magneto on May 07, 2022, 05:16:25 PM

Pretty sure that's 60 pence as well which is 0.6 pounds.

You always see these crazy parlays because they are inevitably going to happen given a large enough sample size, but you're probably not going to see yourself hit one of these in your lifetime.

Heck, even Drake has hit numerous crazy parlays on Stake - but he bets so much that it is bound to happen.

Thank you. I was in doubt what "60p" could mean and presumed it should be "pound", but as you say, "pence" makes more sense. Changed the title of the thread taking your observation in account.

No problems, glad to help.

But just to rebut your point, it's inevitable that this was going to happen to someone at this point.

People shouldn't take this as indication that they should also go out there and try to do the same - reality is far from that. It is an insane amount of luck that you require just to even hit half of the legs and you shouldn't do it seriously.

What matters is when you've won, take care of it and don't waste that money so save and reinvest it into a better thing. Also, keep some for you to have fun.

I would agree on that. Although, some are losing it because they are on cloud 9 for having the chance to win such huge amount, so they just spend and spend it without thinking of its sustainability. Some also gets greedy, so they decide to gamble some more, until they realize they have lost it all. Opportunities like this doesn’t come so often in life, so better to cherish them and do something good out of it.
