Topic: What category would you classify such bettor? - page 2. (Read 416 times)

We don't know what's exactly running in the bettor's mind. It could be greed. It could simply be a way of testing his/her luck. He/she might be a risk-taker. Or perhaps he/she could simply be crazy.

As for me, I generally stick to betting on what will probably win. Whether it is a favorite or an underdog bet, if I think it's going to win, it's worth betting.

If the bettor here thinks that his/her bets are worth betting, there's no problem about it. The problem, however, is if he/she thinks they're all winnable bets even if the odds highly speak otherwise. I hope the bettor bets moderately.

Maybe he's the type of bettor who goes after value odds because based on that screenshot he can afford to take several losses and stick to his corner range strategy. Without knowing the exact amount he puts down per bet and his/her balance being crossed out it's hard to tell if he's the risk taker or greedy kind of bettor.

If those four are the only choices i'd put him under unlucky because he could've had more losses if he swiped down.

I would say he is all of that.
I can even "understand" greedy players who have a good strategy, who study the games a lot and bet on a very favorable outcome.
However, what I see there is a very poorly made bet, both in terms of strategy and absurd values.
Certainly the result could not be different from a defeat, it would only be saved if he was, in fact, very lucky.

Anyway, I'm a very conservative bettor, so a betting scenario like this is something very surreal for me... forgive me if I'm exaggerating my opinion. But, in any case, it seems that this is a practically unanimous opinion here.

Well, it's just clear this guy is risking small to win big, for sure he knows what he is doing because first the odds, it's more likely impossible but just incase there will be only 1 bet will win here, he probably win more versus the total bets he spent but then again, it's still risky, low chance but high reward.

This kind of bet does not convey that the person is a gambling addict.  I agree with you that this person is somehow a high-risk taker, like those investors who invest on a one-time big-time investment that often results in a loss.  

Since in my opinion, the person is a high-risk taker, I would not take into account that the person is greedy.  Greedy people don't want to lose... all they want is to accumulate more no matter how small the accumulation is so greedy people might bet on a sure-win odds rather than in an odds with a small chance of winning.

Aside from being a high-risk taker, the person probably lack knowledge about the sports or he is betting blindly without taking into account the strength of each participating team.

I think from the several categories you mentioned, this person falls into the category of gamblers who are greedy and also lack skills or lack a good strategy. it falls into the two categories you mentioned, this is because when someone becomes greedy in gambling, it tends to be quite difficult for them to be able to gamble calmly and be able to make good betting decisions. This person is too focused on achieving bigger profits than before, but because he is too greedy, this makes him crazy, to the point of forgetting and ignoring strategies for playing or betting.

The wins that a gambler has had, whether big or small, can influence someone to be even crazier when gambling or betting. Therefore, so that this doesn't happen in our gambling life, be smart in managing your emotions and don't get carried away easily by the atmosphere, keep acting normal and don't overdo it, because winning and losing in gambling is a normal thing. And one more thing, when you win in gambling, don't ever think that luck is on your side.

 I said the person was too greedy in gambling. But this is a normal thing and often happens among gamblers, especially those who cannot control themselves when gambling.

A person gambles and bets for pleasure, and generally a person will only feel pleasure only when he feels satisfied, and satisfaction in gambling is only when he gets a fairly large number of wins. and this is what makes them quite greedy gamblers. They are not satisfied with the results they have obtained, so they choose to continue the game, and even lose what they have obtained. And if they haven't won a big win, they will go back into their wallets to continue gambling and betting, until in the end they lose all the money they have.

greed can really make them stupid and reckless gamblers.

Well it could be a combination of the three, he or she wanted to take that big risk and look for big odds, and and at the same time lady luck didn't smile on him. And it's really hard to categorized any bettors to be honest, because we really don't know what's in their mind.

Usually this kind of bettors, their decision is clouded that they will just go and bet what they feel without looking at the odds or analysis of the game. Nevertheless, it's part of the game, we really don't know what the outcome is, and so we put some money on the line and take that risk.

I think it's not always easy to tell the difference between a risky player and a greedy one. Very often it can be the same player. Regarding the fact that he lacks a good strategy, then most likely he does not have any strategy at all, he just decided to test his luck. I don’t think that this man is greedy, I think that he decided to enter into all these bets for fun. Because there is a very small chance that all these matches will be played, usually greedy players do not do this. Or he’s just stupid, but if his bet worked out, what would they call him then?!

In as much as we do not know the bettors mind, i can not judge him to say he is greedy but instead I will say that he is a risk bearer in gambling.

Yes and sometimes I go so far to pick games with the highest odds while criticizing myself like... How do you think this highily risk game is going to play? Then I still say to myself that... I am literally out to pick this as a challenge so if it plays, I win and if it does not, I loose.

And because I understand the game is almost 99% impossible to play, I always bet it with a very little amount so that I can just laugh over it after the game fails.
And when it plays, I don't only profit little as my betted amount knowing that if it plays then I am cashing out bigly  due to the high odds.

So to me, the better is just a risk bearer and not greedy.

I'd classify him as stupid
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.

In my opinion, it was a beginner bettor who still doesn't know anything about sports betting, he chose very high odds, which seemed to me like he made choices based on the high odds value and not based on analysis of the games, look at the odds value, they are very similar values ​​and above 5.00 which shows that he is probably a beginner bettor who does not understand anything about sports betting and perhaps deposited money and lost a good part and in despair made these meaningless choices. now if he placed a very small amount of money, then at least he won't be too angry about this defeat, particularly when I place my multibet bets, I always focus on games with a greater chance of me hitting and I don't focus on the value of the odds of every game I will put in my parlay


although getting multibet bets right is difficult, even so, when a person chooses good games and something like having a multibet bet with odds of 6.00 and that person puts a little money, something like 10$ and gets it right, then that person ends up with 60$ and there will be 6 more multibet bets that you can place, simply by placing $10 on each bet. but when a person is placing simple bets with odds below 2.00, in the long term it becomes a headache because the person is successful in many games, but it is enough to lose in a few games to lose the entire bankroll.

Maybe he do cares and the money he bets there are still the money that he can afford to lose. There are really gamblers like that, that we think are fools because of how they acted but trust me, that was only their way of playing the game and there might still be times that they can get lucky.

I won't be surprised that the comments of the people will also change from bad to good and maybe there are some of them who will also try it. With what I've said earlier, I don't think that bettor is greedy and I think a greedy bettor will also go for a game that they think they have a good chances of winning but they will only increase their betting size for them to have a satisfactory win.

Anything which is 2.xx more odds is considered to be risky. This is why the minimal odds that i do consider is playing around 1.5-.7 on which its something considerable but numbers going beyond those lines?
I dont know on what are the things that considers him to push up or select such bet. Well, its his money then he had the full rights on what he would gonna do. For sure he might be able to experience in the past
on hitting up those things and make some big wins. This is why he is really that doing it again?  or he do make out this kind of betting behavior for the sake of experimenting or trying out to
hit up something significant. Greedy or risk taker, it doesnt matter much because whether we do touch up gambling on casinos or sports betting there would really be that risks involved.

He might had won with such strategy, probably from a single tick with high odds of about one or two games but not a ticket with multiple games that comprises of 6.10, 8.90, 14.00, 6.30, 7.75, and 5.20 odds respectively, I mean even the least odd is 5.20 and considered very risky in sports betting. Well, luck happens in gambling but not on that ticket cause it would take miracles for the bettor to win from such ticket, to tell how risky his strategy is, he didn't even win a single game from that ticket not even the one with 5.20 odds. Also the bettor might be used to high risk betting as you claim but I think he should restrategise to something better maybe try options with 1.9 or 2 odds cause if he continue picking odds above 2 then he'll lose constantly which is not good. I don't if anyone thinks same but the goal of gambling I think is to have fun, make profits and avoid numerous loses and with such strategy, I don't think such bettor would achieve that so he should reconsider his strategy and think of something better cause such pattern would mostly lead to failure and more losses.

Just unlucky I guess. Most of his bets are alike so probably, that's just his betting strategy. That's his day ticket and it won't be enough to categorize him. No one knows if this happens often or the other way around. But looking on the other side of the picture, he probably have won with betting on huge odds simply because no one's too consistent if he's just losing and all. Most likely he's used with high risk betting and it would be hard to know if he's betting low or high. If it is low bets on high odds then I'd say we're the same. I would be fine losing multiple times with low bets than to lose a few but big time. Returns are obviously good and that's just why you bet in the first place which is to test your luck, so better just maximize it. However, this is not to encourage; you are free to move on your own and decide which pattern would work best on your end.

This shows that the bettor doesn’t really care about his money. I mean no proper risk management can be seen here. He just chose to place the bets with high odds. I can claim this as a simple act of foolishness. I don’t know what the bettor was thinking while placing the bets. Not sure whether he is greedy or not, but taking this much risk is obviously too high. We need to gamble in limits and only place bets on sports events after proper research. I would advise all the gamblers to not gamble like this.

I can't call this greed because he from what I am thinking the gambler I just trying to see if he could win. Him as a gambler knows that it will be hard for anyone to win such off but he went ahead and stake on it. However he should be happy that he didn't risk what he can't afford to lose. Those odds and the options he selected are very high and without luck no one can win such games. I don't side with the gambler because he selected more than 1, 2. Those options are the type one would pick only 1 or 2 then bet on it. The gambler is not a type of gambler that includes strategies before betting on his gambles so luck might find it's way in so he could win.

Because he can not win the bet even if he continues to bet it more than 1 million times.

The odd is almost 4 times more than 50000 as it is 192,971.6334.

I do not see that as risking less but like he just gave money to the casino. I believe the guy will know that he will lose the money before he even bet it.

The only wrong i see from his betting slip is the way he has taken more games into consideration with the kind of odd selection made, if you were to asked virtually almost every gambler, they will give the same response that its somehow insane to have behave in this manner, its not about taking the big odds that matters, he could have just made only two selections with big odds and stake huge amount of money, this may somehow increase his chances of winning than when the matches are many considering the odd taken as well.
