A long time ago I used to bet insane parlays everyday with a buddy from work. We would only put a dollar in every day, but we hit a few for a couple thousand dollars. I think it’s important to remember while looking at the wins is great, this gambler probably had many losses to go along with it. Still though, this is obviously a huge life changing win. This is the sort of story that brings people to bet.
I'm that guy. I don't actually make sensible bets, I put small amounts of money on 5/6+ long accumulators hoping they come in. A few times I've been absolutely sweating it when there's one or two bets left on the card, and I'm watching it live. I can't imagine how this guy felt.
If he is betting small amounts like this usually, I think he's more than made up for many of the losses he suffered though.
This do only happens once a in a lifetime hit and we dont know on how long he had been betting with parlays with minimal bet.
Probably a long ass time. Although, I bet the pros of winning this time, outweighs the amount of times he likely put a unlikely bet on. Unreal.
