I remember here the story, how the gambler made big bets with small odds, less than 1.1. But the result was that he lost such a bet. I don`t believe that someone is ready to bet $1.000.000 on the team, that costs less than the bet. And plan to win more than this team costs. The same time, in this thread we see how the OP draws screenshots. I can`t say that it can increase my trust to his words.
No matter how small the odds are, no one can guarantee a bet will win. so betting such a large amount is quite a big risk. Because if he bet $1M at 1.1 odds, he will get $100k profit from it if he can win but if the bet is lost he will lose the entire $1m. which is 10x loss than his profit. so if he were to bet 9 times and lose once he would still have a $100k loss. so I don't support the decision to bet with a big amount
We can not really tell if OP is telling the truth or not but if he decides to use such amount to place a bet, I assume he really is a rich dude, man. You can not have $1M as your net worth and you want to stake them all in a bet, it's foolishness. For someone to want to spend such huge amount, it means they really have excess money. Some has already said on this topic that they can not stake such huge amount even if they happen to be very rich and I am of that opinion too.
So rich dudes don`t create such threads. They know where they can bet and how to guarantee withdrawal. We don`t know anything about the gambler, who lost $1.000.000 - someone just find his bet.
And again - someone can`t bet such a sum, but for someone it is not interesting to bet less than such sum.
I agree that no one can guarantee the result, but i disagree about big risk. Big risk is if you want to bet like the OP - 1.88. Mostly it means that teams are about the same. So, it is really big risk. And here is just big sum. If it would be $10 it would be small risk? These bets have the same risk, but you will easily bet $10.
Well, there is definitely some really good sense in what you said, but looking at the term "Big risk", I personally will say that what is termed or considered as a big risk is different for most people, for example..
For a poor man, betting $100 in a game can be considered as big risk, regardless of the odds of the game.
And for the rich man, betting $100 might be to them like they did not bet a dime, because they have so much money to the extent that $100 is absolutely nothing to him or her.
And another thing we much understand is that most gamblers usually don't care much about how much they are good to win from a game, what they are most interested in is, to not lose their money.
So, if we consider this, then it means that for a gambler who is gambling for the sole purpose of making money, betting $1m in a single game is definitely a big risk, regardless of the odd.
Except the person is so rich that $1m is absolutely nothing to him or her.
For me it is not about risk but about the money and how silly can be someone. It is really bad decision to bet $100 if it is a big sum for you. Just buy some food or pay bills, don`t spend the money trying to get big prize.
And if someone interested in how not to lose his money - i can get free advice that 100% works - not to bet.
