could you ever bet millions if you had it?

No.

I honestly do not risk too much into bets when I gamble. It's something I do for fun to test my proficiency in predicting a sport I love to watch, staking excessively will take away a chunk of the fun. I'll rather stake low with the chance to win a low reward, than risk a ridiculous amount.

Most people will say that they wouldn't bet a million dollars if they had that much money. That's not true. The reason is that once you do not have this money, you always think that you will take care of that money and be a responsible gambler but things will change when you have that money in real.

When you have a million dollars, it means that your lifestyle is changed altogether, you have a business that is making you a million dollars and maybe more and then you think ok i have a lot of money and I can bet one million dollars and have a feeling of a lifetime. Yeah, you and I do not have that one million dollars now, so we can only think that we won't risk that money in betting.

I won't want to blame the individual you mentioned for being obsessed with gambling to have risk such an amount, but then from his behaviour as you analyzed, it looks like something may not be right with the guy, I won't say he is addicted anyways but the possibility of that also is high in this situation.

Who knows what's the real reason why that guy was yelling at him?

As I understand it, there could be chances that since Mattress Mack won so much money betting (approximately 75 million in last year in the World Series), people might try to copy him, bet big amounts, lose and then become frustrated on such popular personalities. They become jealous when they see people like Mattress Mack winning such big amounts while they are always on the losing side.

Also usually people do not earn a million dollars in a lifetime while Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale places a bet for $1 million.
This uneven distribution of money is another reason why anyone can scream at the person who is being so lucky in life, expressing his own hopelessness and frustrations.

Anyone becoming jealous of a gambling winning must be out to lose along the line, because before you see anyone making such winning he or she may have recorded a series of losses also and at that, no one should feel jealous since you don't know what they have been through before arriving at such winning, anyways mattress Mack is a big name in the casino with his total wager amount and being one of those that have experienced big winning and also hard a bitter tests of the big loses also just like in this case, it makes more sense then not to follow his pattern since not everyone will have the chance and luxury of time and money stake such high risk.

But then is either you win or lose but regardless of whatever becomes the reality of anyone, it should be at the back of our mind that individuals have their different luck and experience so there is no need to copy anyone at all.

He must be a big gambling propeller, having recorded tons of accumulated wager amounts, this is another example of how the big guys can go all in, similar to what happened in my country where another team's fans place a bet of half of this amount in my local currency and unfortunately he lost since he chose Chelsea to win against Asernal bit the match ended in a draw so he lost that amount.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

McIngvale won a record $75 million when the Astros won the World Series in 2022. If the Astros would've repeated as World Series champions, he would've won an estimated $118 million over the last two years.

It's not like he's going to suffer from a 10 million loss... only that it wasn't 10 million, like you're saying but 7.9 according to the article. 8 million and 10 million is already a big difference, but forgetting to mention that he bet only close to 10% of his wins from last year is a crime.

The guy is clearly a winner that doesn't want to stop as long as he's ahead. Would you stop betting if you had 75 million in the bank? I'd probably keep going up until the last 5 because 5 would be enough for me to never be poor again and the rest is just fun - easy come easy go.

We dont know on why he had really getting so much hate for those people who do give out those kind of letter or whatever actions or things happen on which if a certain team is being hated
and you are that someone who do make that kind of support or loyalty into that team which known being caught by cheating in the past, then those bad impressions would really be that
remains forever and to those who are in connection to it would really be also to taste the rage and frustration by those fans with other teams on which its always that
possible that fans will really be that attacking their fans as well.

About betting in millions? It doesnt matter since its his money then it would really be just that his full rights on whatever he would really be spending.
Its none of our business on how much he would be spending on such team on betting on it.

Most of you probably aren't familiar with this man, but he's pretty popular here in the United States, known for making monster bets on his favorite baseball team, the Houston Astros ( also the most hated team in America being that they were caught cheating during their World Series win a few years back).

I saw a video of someone giving him shit and him stacking "fuck you, fuck you" left and right back at the man. This guy seems to lose his cool quite a bit. He seems like an old fart but if you look up his history, he's bet millions upon millions of dollars, both winning and losing TONS of money.

Here's the recent bet/story ( could you ever bet millions if you had it? )
