If someone told you a guaranteed sports bet that had a 100% chance of winning, how much would you bet on it?
If you had a $10,000 bankroll, would you go all in? We’re talking 100% can’t lose bet.
Would you take out a loan? How would you go about acquiring a large sum of money if you didn’t have the capital.
Let’s say the match is starting 24 hours from now, what would be your plan to maximize your profit?
Asking for a friend
The problem with your hypothetical question is that it is so hypothetical that it is impossible. In this life there is no 100% certainty of anything except that you will die.
0, none, nada.
When someone offers something that is too good to be true, it usually is a scam.
That's basic, every gambler must know about that.
That's right.
So, since there is always a chance of being cheated or that for some reason the bet doesn't come out as expected, depending on the probability I would assign, I would bet more. I would never ask for a loan, though. With my own money, if for example I thought the probability of winning was 99% I would bet everything I have in my bankroll, that is to say the $10,000 you say, and apart from that I would probably deposit everything I have available in cash and I would probably liquidate part of some investments I have to bet on it.
But for the sake of argument, let's assume that there is a 100% probability, i.e. you are like God and you know you are going to win the bet for sure. So apart from the $10,000 I'd take out loans or whatever, I'd bet as much money as I could get my hands on until the deadline for placing the bet.
