if you check the odds properly you'll notice that the bettor is very greedy in selecting very risky odds and seems he wants to cash out very big by all means, well one can still say he's very unlucky, he took risk no doubt but that's a miscalculated risk out of greed to get bigger odds and make more profits. With that being said, what do you think is the perfect categories to classify such bettor?
Greedy
Risk taker
Lacks good strategy
Or he's just an unlucky bettor, give your reasons and why you think so.

We can't classify without knowing few other things, how much bankroll he got, he can afford to lose that money and how much money he made using the same strategy previously.

If this is his first time and he is taking the high risk side then he has to be rich but also lacking a strategy to increase his betting ability.

If he made good money then he is a risk taker that paid off when he was lucky but on that day it didn't go in the way he expected.

Particularly looking at these bets only he is greedy so he took high risks to make more money so all of the above is the classification can be justified.

The best description for him is probably a “hope to God it would be a win.” Not necessarily be a great Betting position But if that’s what he wants. Having high Odds or returns are not always going to be the best picks but an extremely lucky one when it does. It’s Really a lucky thing. Maybe like winning a lottery Huh

In my own point of view, judging from the image above it's either the bettor is greedy or lack good strategy, why I think he's greedy is because, if you check the odds properly you'll notice that the bettor is very greedy in selecting very risky odds and seems he wants to cash out very big by all means, well one can still say he's very unlucky, he took risk no doubt but that's a miscalculated risk out of greed to get bigger odds and make more profits.

Greedy

Depending on the amount involved on each bet to classify properly the bet ticket owner gambling style. This is not greediness if he just bet small amount such as few cents with this odds since he is just aiming for high pay bets using small bets.

Same with risk taker and greediness assumption. You can only classify him like that if he bets huge amount with that kind of odds since the risk involved is judging.

Judging the betslip based on the history alone without the bet size is premature judgement. I do experience that kind of lose streak with my bets even though I’m just choosing odds less than 2.0.

I don't know if the young man is a novice in sports betting or he is just acting under the influence of greed or some hard substance he took before placing such bets because no experienced sports bettor will use this strategy and still expect to win. From my observation, the young man was obviously interested in what he would cashout if he eventually wins and not the risks involved. Greed pushed him to take risks which weren't necessary. I won't call him a risk taker because the risks weren't necessary but were taken out of a foolish decision. This same foolish decision of his led him in following a wrong strategy that ruined everything for him.

I think there are no such strategy if you bet on sportsbook.

So I will judge a gambler with such record is greedy, it's clear that the gambler want to try his luck since all bets are almost identical, it's all 7+ corner range, the only difference is home or away. Probably he think that he only need to win one bet so he will able to recover his bankroll.

Risk taker is when the gambler really make an analysis and not only placing the bet blindly.

Unlucky bettor is like you bet Netherlands to win yesterday, but it ends in draw, although they were scored, but the referee disallowed the goal.

A bit unlucky I would say but not more than most people since the bettor lost all his 5 bets but the odds of those ones were all above 6.00 so it's not unreasonably unlucky. If we could see a bit more of his history, we could judge more accurately, draw a trend and conclude relevantly about his habits but with such partial track record we can only observe a losing streak of 5 losses in a raw. Not very surprising for bets with such likelihood to lose though.

For me, I will say that I see this as an act of poor knowledge about football analysis, because judging from all the games this gambler played in his/her ticket, it's obvious he/she never made reference to any of the country he predicted previous performance. Because if he had done it, he ought to have known that in all 5 recent matches Hungary has always had corner kicks between the range of 2 and 4, of which 7+ was an impossible act, and likewise the second game he played about Croatia to have 7+ corner kicks, but ended up zero corner kick. Hence, I see this as an act of lack of football knowledge and greed.

Even if I am drunk, I can not be taking this type of odds. The lowest odd there is 5.2 which is very risky in sport betting. I can easily find 3 odd to choose in casinos but in sport betting, any odd getting higher than 2 is very risky. The chance to win just a single bet is small, not to talk of winning the whole bet. It is greediness.

Gambling is for what again? remind me, Fun right?. Dude was just catching cruise with his stakes and you're squeezing your face in serious disapproval. I tried very hard to see the staking power, but it appears hidden. In my own analogy, this game was not staked. It was just configured to gain media attention, maybe a content creator or someone growing his social media handle.

NB: I do this sometimes with little stakes, such that I wouldn't even notice I invested in such. Its gambling, right? there's a possibility. I exploit those possibilities most times when I'm in the mood, won from it twice, but it's never something to depend on.

People should really be having this approach and something that they should really be having in mind on which this is really indeed a viable reason on why there are ones who do have on intent on the moment that they would be placing up their bets. Some would really be having that experimental approach and just that using up with small amounts or simply not really that tending to go all in. We dont know on whats behind
with those kind of betting on which we know those odds are indeed that tempting but when it comes on those probabilities on winning then it would really be that so hard on making yourself as a winner.
I do agree on what you have said that gambling/betting should really be something for the sake of fun and not really that taking up that seriously.

Come to think that we do have the full rights on how we should really be gonna spending our money and even if it looks like a foolish step into to other people but since you are
preferring on that way then better dont mind other people. There would really be always that has something to say on every actions that you are taking.

I personally thinking in sport betting the winning percentages for odds above @3 is below to 50% because it is very rare to see the people can always be win their bets with high odds so if there is any people who placing their bets into high odds i think they realized those bets is very difficult to win even probably experience bettors wouldn't dare to take such a risk but in my point of view we still cannot judge him early to classify what categorized this bettor before seeing his habit and his bets histories that if when doing sports betting he is always like that then he can be categorized as lack of strategy or risky taker but if he does this just for once or twice because he know it is very difficult to win the bets from those odds then i think he just unlucky

Why do people take risks in the first place? It's so that they can get more money, so in my opinion, taking risks and greed fall under the same category with just slightly different criteria. This bettor is taking a lot of risks and he is doing it out of greed, there is no doubt about that.

What I think is that sports betting is not for gamblers like him, you can't join a sports betting platform and start making random bets with high odds and expect to win because that is not how it works. You need to have some knowledge and experience about sports and choose the sides and odds wisely.

This bettor is probably not into considering the odds and his chances of winning a bet and this is clear by looking at how randomly he is making those bets.

he's a reckless bettor. maybe he believes that if luck is with him, then he will win any bet. even if the risk is too great.
he must have been testing his own luck. normal bettors would not make bets like that. there is a consideration of the chances of winning and losing.
I still can't believe some bettors do it. but the screenshot is real. maybe his wallet was too full of money, so he was having fun with it.

I came across a bettors ticket on the media so I decided to raise a discussion with it here in the forum, well some people in the comment section rained abuse on the bettor for making such bet, some think he's greedy there were others who think he's a risk taker, while some still said he's very unlucky. In my own point of view, judging from the image above it's either the bettor is greedy or lack good strategy, why I think he's greedy is because, if you check the odds properly you'll notice that the bettor is very greedy in selecting very risky odds and seems he wants to cash out very big by all means, well one can still say he's very unlucky, he took risk no doubt but that's a miscalculated risk out of greed to get bigger odds and make more profits.

For me I will say that such bettor or gambler is only but greedy reason being that the risk is over doss, such odds for me can only be good when I want to place a single bet and not a multiple bet of such number, it can only be greed because he or she want to make it big such predictions can hardly have a possible outcome of winning irrespective of how many triers although every one has a different betting strategy or strategies that seems more pleasing and convincing enough of having the possible outcome of winning. However, he or she is quite unlucky that the game didn't play out , in as much as there is no guarantee or certainty of a game playing out to be a winning I could say that the risk attachment to this predictions are very much on the high side.

It looks like "Lacks good strategy" in my opinion. I mean why you will go on and bet on those ridiculous odds? Perhaps you can get one and then pair it with a favorite, at least you have a better chance that getting all the underdogs and then hope that you will be lucky to win that?

And it's good that he has been called out by the gamblers themselves, perhaps mocking him and laughing at that kind of bet because they have experience it already that this kind of bet is not that good and most likely you are just donating your money to the sports casino themselves. And specially if he is already a experience bettor and then just putting his bet like this? That's crazy and doesn't make sense at all.

I wish I could get a link to this post so I can properly understand what comment the bettor made before he posted the image of his bet. Any experienced sportsbettor who is really in the right frame of mind will not make this kind of prediction because they are aware that there is only a 1% chance to win such a bet and a 99% chance to lose the bet. Old-time sports bettors will know that in this kind of prediction, even if they are lucky enough that the first two games are successful, all of them cannot play as predicted. I don't know if I should say the gambler is greedy or a risk-taker, but this can also be a strategy for foolhardy gamblers.

i think he is a gambler who is not only greedy, but also stupid, because he does not calculate his bets and only bets according to his greed. if he can think straight, then he should not bet with such high odds, unless he is ready. hopefully he was prepared in the beginning and understood that his chances of losing were very high, if not i bet he is stressed right now.

For me all the name you listed above, fits into his category because he is greedy, lacks good strategy and he takes unnecessary risk. There is no how such game with high odd in all the accumulation would have played. Although there are situations where a parson may play high odd game and it plays, but the chances is slim. Meaning it's nearly impossible to win such game. If he has played some low odd possible games and add some high odd games it would have been understandable but this situation is really a difficult one. He is bad risk taker, we need to be realistic in predicting the impossibility . I believe this is the type of bet that most people usually play and lost all the time, and blame gambling for their misfortunes. without considering that they are the reason why they don't often win because of their greed and lack of good betting strategy.

I will categorize that better as a greedy fellow who has no strategy and believe on his/her luck entirely. In sports betting luck matters but proper research and strategy matter way more than someone's luck. The bettor just depends on his/her luck and I believe such bettors will lose no matter how long they try their luck.

It is not all gamble that totally relies on luck like dice game, others like sports bet requires some levels of expertise to increase chances of winnings. The bettor in the OP can be described as being greedy or he's a newbie in sports bet who doesn't understand strategy and the odds of winning a bet. An experienced sports bettor will understand the chances that each team has and bet reasonably, otherwise the results of very high risk bets are always loses.

I'd classify him as stupid Cheesy

Just think about it for a moment.

You're betting on 7 goals or more, so check how many last matches in the league had 7 goals. I'd say 1 in 50? Probably even less than that.
In the recent Euro qualifiers the highest score was probably Germany -Scotland with 6 goals - still not 7. You just don't get that in high level games.

On the other hand, how can we call him stupid, if we dont know neither his balance, nor the amount he has bet. What if he has bet just a dollar with such impossible-to-win bets, while his balance is thousands and thousands of bucks. For such people, loosing a dollar is nothing. But imagine what would be, if he turn that into a hundred bucks Cheesy

Imho it is impossible to tell a lot about this guy, when we are limited with details.

In this case, greed cannot be completely separated from lack of strategy. Although there may be some kind of strategy, although we do not know it. And it is already obvious to us that this strategy is unsuccessful. It is possible that this is not so much a strategy, but simply a desire to play at high odds. I would call this an insufficiently thought out or insufficiently refined strategy. Why should we assume that high rates will always bring us profit? I think that bookmakers are not fools and will not just put high odds on a game for no apparent reason. At the same time, such bets are sometimes worked out, but very rarely. There you need to conduct a very high-quality analysis.
