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?

It's a bit of a nonsensical question really, because a bet would naturally involve some degree - even the tiniest fraction - of risk involved. Otherwise you're just carrying out a transaction, like getting paid an interest rate from a bank for storing money their for a certain time period. The answer would be yes to such a proposition, because as you state - a hundred percent chance of winning guaranteed, is a zero risk proposition. However, what you're really like to be asking is if you have a bet that has a 97% or even 99% chance of winning, would you take it? In which case the answer would be no, because from personal experience I have seen such bets fail several times and fortunately only had tiny amounts at stake.

Zero amount, then ask him how much did he stake on same bet? how did he know there's a guarantee in that bet? if he truly knows that it's a sure bet then he would have go for it first before telling me, they do this to pull us in when they know that there's no more hope for them and they don't have enough money to bet for themselves, there's no sure vet in gambling, we all take risk for betting to win or loose, if you think it's worth taking a risk on then stake the amount of money you could afford to loose on the bet.

The more you're being desperate for winning is the more the increase in the chances of loosing the entire for on that bet, no guarantee on any bet as 100% newbie should not be decieved

Sometimes trouble will be sleeping and we will be going around disturbing it to wake up on our request, did i just heard you with an alternative of taking a loan? any person involved in this kind of mess should definitely be a novice in gambling and needs to be oriented before they enter into debt which is a big time trouble.

Hypothetically answering here Grin

.If it is a sure thing that the sport match is a guaranteed win,I would go put all the money I have available in my bank account and if it is not enough I would even borrow money from the bank so I can add up and put the maximum amount that the sport book would allow me to bet.I would not be that much greedy as it is enough for me if the sport bet odd is well over 2,let's suppose is 2.5 and I would be very happy if I put the max amount that I am supposing is 100.000 dollars and I would get an extra 150.000 dollars profit,right now that profit is the average pay rate of a good profession in all Europe and even better than average after this lay offs crisis in technology where I happen to work.

I will not risk a penny of my money, especially if I have to borrow money to make this bet.

it would be stupid if I had to risk a large amount of my money. And I realized that there's no such thing as a perfect chance until it reaches 100%. Even if there are people who are able to analyze until they reach a 100% chance, they will not tell other people about it and that person will try their best to get capital, including by borrowing money.

and when someone offers this, it is clear that this is an attempted fraud.

This is assuming the 100% chance of winning is factual, and not the person themself "assuming" that the chance of winning is 100%. If so, then yes, I'd bet 100% on it. No I won't take a loan, I don't see the need to do so, assuming that the $10k was my bankroll. I don't aim to maximize profit in the first place in gambling, I just play for fun so I don't really have strategies or avenues in trying to actually aim for something, regardless of whether it's guaranteed or not. I set bets on increments that I think appeal to my confidence level, I don't set bets assuming I'd hit X amount if I bet Y amount, it sounds like a rather dumb way to bet.

Hmm, there is no guarantee in anything gambling, since gambling has a higher risk there is also no guarantee of Winning in it is just luck that own everything in gambling, instead of me taking a loan that I will use in staking any bet I rather use all my money to bet so if by any means the bet get lost I will not have to hide from anybody and I will not look for a story to tell anyone as well.
If I have the $10k I will bet according to the odds provided for the game if the the odd is a 2 odd game I will put $5k on it so I can win times two (2×) of it and if I won the bet I will not still complain about me not putting all the money I have on the bet because I don't know if when I stake the whole money I have maybe that's when I will loss the bet.

If I had $10k in capital I probably wouldn't risk it all, even though people say it's a bet with 100% chance of winning, still I wouldn't believe it because I would still find risks so I would avoid big bets, because I'm a small gambler so it's better to split the money into many small bets, why not try it with $ 500 if lucky it's good but if I lose I still keep the rest of my money. lol

I also won't get stuck with fomo let alone borrow money to bet in large amounts, I know that it will be a high risk, the higher the bet, the higher the risk, I often find someone who bets big with a 99% chance of winning Of course, you can lose, no matter how you bet, you have to use calculations. Don't be rash to bet big, let alone follow someone's predictions. It's best to follow your own research. After all, to get big profits, it all depends on how we do research, as well as luck. because everything can not be separated from luck. unless I'm the richest person in the world I'd bet over $10k Grin

there is no other way than just betting for happy fun. not all bettors put money first but at least for most gamblers there is still space left for gamblers looking for fun.

maybe my answer is a little more like a person who is skeptical of other people betting predictions because no matter how good other people predictions or analysis I will never trust and spend my money just to bet after being told if it guarantees a win. for me any gambling will never give a 100% guarantee which gives me positive thoughts to bet according to my own analysis even though its always not right but this is about satisfaction not a matter of money.

Just weigh the risk, but then again, this is just me, I will just put a bet that I can afford to lose, easy as that. No regrets whether I win or lose.

No never, there is no guaranteed win in sports betting. How does your friend know with 100% certainty that one team is going to win? I would be very sceptical when it comes to such statements and don't believe it. Why would anybody give you the information for free? The more people know about it the higher the chance the scam will be uncovered. Taking out a loan short term without collateral will lead to very high interest rate and you could be stuck with repaying the loan for many years if things go wrong.

#SWGT PRE-SALE IS LIVE

Depends on who exactly said 100% chance of winning. If it was the organization that held the sports event, I'd go all in. If it's just someone who overheard that the fight is a fixed fight, then probably just 10%. But this is if I see people are actually betting on that team as well.

When it's a fixed fight people usually know but still leave doubt like Ngannou vs Fury. Pretty sure this is a fixed fight but it may still depend on who is running the show and sometimes politics are involved.

A better question to ask is if you had a $10k bankroll and the bet is 90% chance to win how much would you bet?

and then reask the question again if you had 100k, then 1m, then 10m how much would you bet and at what stage would your approach be to protect your networth instead of growing it. Tongue

I think that would be much more interesting.

I don't understand...if the odds are well and truly 100℅, that means there is 0℅ chance of losing...

However, the market wouldn't be available for you to bet on if the odds were 100℅ in your favor, the casino or sports book would be handing money out especially if there is a larger payout to be made on the bet.

If the outcome is not determined before you make the bet, it's not truly 100% and there is definitely risk that you aren't aware of. If you are so certain that you want to risk your livelihood on something where the odds aren't truly 100%, that would be unwise.

If the odds are actually 100% and there is provably 0% chance of losing...then why not. The outcome is certain? This is entirely unrealistic though
