^ That is a good strategy to attract players, but if this is real, probably the player already spent much before winning this prize. 1,200USD for a single bet? That is quite aggressive!
I just want to see how their algorithm works. These types of betting platforms are pure business, of course, they also had to earn before giving wins. They had to be able to manipulate it. I will never place bets as much as 1,200USD, so I would go with the 34,000USD, he is the real winner here. Less risk high reward. Nevertheless, practicality says at its finest.
I don't have any question and doubts that you are speaking out of realities.
As before anyone would manage to bag that huge winnings, he might spend decent amount, though in gambling there's also luck
that permits anyone to win huge just by placing a single bet, same a like with lotteries there are people who wins the lucky combinations
just by holding a single card. Advertisement wise, it's really attractive..
