You might be correct but if you are betting in sports and you are also risking money in lottery, I doubt you would not try to hit a high odds parlay.
with less than 1 dollar, I think it's not high enough just to have fun and hope one day you'll hit the jackpot, I mean others hit this big, so it could be very enticing for sports bettors out there who like to change their life in an instant.
This is exactly what sport bookmakers want
I mean they like people that try to reach these very high jackpot, and most of time they are forcing players offering also bonus, or promoting big wins.
I can understand your point and I am agree with you.
But if you want gamble to "earn" some money you should bet wisely, focused, just few match.
This is my 10 (golden) rule
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1284831510° Last but don't least.... Don't play too much events in one toto bet!
Yes! don't make "a long long list" in only one bet to pump up the prize.
@100 x 2 btc = 200 btc... with 1000 bet 0f 1.10......
The @100 is not only a Cheesy happy number, "i can become rich" but it's a probability number, that your events will be set winning!
Trust me Cheesy bookmaker want that you try to catch this high prize, because more match together implies more difficult (and I think with some numbers it's really impossible win).
A good friend (in the real life) use to bet from 6-10 bet every time like handicap, over 2,5 etc etc....
Him can get really the 90% of single match, but for only 1 every time him loose!
Why?!? Because if you play 6-10 single with strong quotes more @1.70 so far, you can protect your self for the "lucky bad of the last bet". There is also a psychological correlation, to see the prize get up, the vast majority of better, try to place the "surprise" or decide deliberately to point to more bet.
