What I see he is just place the bet without analyze all match so he lose his money. He is greedy wants a big money in a short way which is gambling but he doesn't search for more information about each matches. If he doesn't have enough skills or not  knows about the match, he doesn't have to place any bet. That will makes him keeps his money for the next match and he can place the bet on the right match.

We can say many things about him and you are right saying like that because he can be greedy, risk taker, lacks good strategy, or even he was unlucky bettor. He must learned from his mistake and not do the same mistake so he must learn for more to knows how to pick the right teams to bet. People gets tempts with the high odds so they thinks that they can wins easily but that will not always happens.

 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. 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.

I think, the bettor or based on the picture is a risk taker but at the same time also has greed. But, for me, the percentage of greed is only a little because the bettor realizes that he is putting his money with such corner option bets with big odds. Because anyway, with these betting options, of course the bettor has a good strategy for himself too, and not always monotonous by only betting with 1x2 or moneyline options. So yes, for me personally there is nothing wrong with bettors wanting to bet with any option, any odds and any money bet, because the most important thing is to be ready for bad results. Because then, bettors will still feel fine even if they fail.

He is either a high-risk taker or he is just playing with the odds and maybe get a shocking high multiplier that would change his life.
I don't see how much money he bet maybe he just went for $0.01 or maybe lower using other currencies or cryptocurrencies.

I don't want to judge the gambler here because I have also done the same thing before but it's for the purpose of experimenting with the odds and seeing how much multiplier it will make by picking the mostly the underdogs.

Is it a stupid move or a waste of money? Yes. But if it wins, are we still going to say the same thing? Grin

I see this as a combination of greed and trying to be smart hoping that it all ends in his favour. There are people that just want to try somethings out in the hope that luck might just shine on them but such kind of attempt is best when you're playing a single slip. When you're in involved in multiple slip like this, you should know that it's almost like certain that such odds can't work as planned for all the games you've selected. Like someome has said on this thread, if he's just doing this at this time to try his luck out, then it's not a bad thing and although this didn't work well in his favour, he could have been lucky to have won huge. But the main issue is if he's trying to do this over and over again hoping that luck will shine on him someday. It's going to make him loose most of his money and disaster is going to be the end product.

This person is not just a risk taker but a high risk taker and a high risk taker like this will lose most of the time and will lose a lot of money. May he is an addict  or maybe he is a beginner who doesn't understand how this works. Or rather this may just be Drake. The ticket matches all of his characteristics - a high risk/high reward bettor and the outcome all ends in a loss. Who else if this isn't drake. Well it is a  risk that I cannot afford to take. I am too informed to do this. 
Not that much if we do speak about into those people who do make up some small bets on parlays and even using up those huge odds on which they are really that crossing their fingers for it to win up on which we know that when it comes to these kind of odds then it would really be that impossible to hit up even if you do have that extreme luck on the peak. If we do speak about single bets and choosing up those non favorites or simply with the underdogs then you arent really that making any strategy but rather you are really that making some blind bets since you are sticking with those higher odds.

We do know that favorites are most likely to win up but since odds are really that tempting into the other side on which you cant really be able to blame out people on why they would really be
having such approach when it comes into their betting decisions or choices. Well, its their money that they are really that being using into. Doesnt matter much on how they
would really be spending it out but in majority this isnt something that wise bettors would be able to do.

What other category will you group such a bettor that bet out of proposition to games that their luck won't even bring them winnings. I don't think the bettor has any betting strategy. He has his predictions done on whatever idea he visualizes to be difficult to come by for a high winning stake not knowing that gambling winnings don't work that way. You have to have moderate odds, not high odds that will so difficult to end up in one favor

He is not a risk taker or lacks strategy, but he just wants to get rich quickly by taking bets with odds like that. He really hoped that he would win on this bet and get quite a lot of money, but unfortunately he didn't win a single bet. If I personally don't want to take the risk of taking a bet like that, I'd better look for a bet with more reasonable odds and play it safe.
If I see in cases like this there is a lack of strategy or good knowledge. If this happened to me, I wouldn't do it to bet or risk something I don't fully control, in which case he pushed himself too hard to bet. Sometimes just to score a sports team sometimes the chance of losing is greater, especially predicting clear corner kicks is very difficult. Bets like this have a very small chance of winning. It's true what you say, it's better for us to just play games that we understand, opportunities will always be there and we can master the game.

I wonder why everyone say risky bets or risk takers..

If he's putting a combined 6 bets around 7/6 :1 odds we're looking at a multiplier of easily over 50k, so he will only need to place 1$ to win $50k, it would be far riskier for him to put 10k on a single bet at 5:1 odd and get the same sum.

So he is actually risking less but he has lower chances of this happening also, at the same time he will probably lose just pennies at the end of the day, much like playing the lottery.

You cannot judge someones betting strategy from a single slip. This are very risky odds and he is not unlucky that they all were wrong, he would have been extremely lucky to win that, extremely lucky.

If he plays like this most of the time hoping that one will give him decent reward, that is bad strategy. But if it is a mix up or risky and expected results then it is not so bad, especially if they are not losing money.

You are right on this your reply no one knows if he is trying a new strategy or not, but this is a dumb strategy and if he continues like this, the gambler will end up losing whenever he gambles. Even though, it is an amount that he can afford to lose why don't he just try it on slot which is strictly luck. It might be that the gambler is losing and thinks he can use this bet to win back his losses because of the big odds who knows. I will prefer not to gamble than try this strategy.

Interesting, but I can't judge anything about the stakes you share here, really, because I'm not him. or, this person may have many scenarios in his betting scheme. to be honest, I only look at the displays when people choose their bets. Regarding what someone is thinking, we don't know for sure. The reason is, there are no claims whatsoever about the bets you share in this thread. So, I will not categorize anything just because my judge is from the outside. I mean, I don't know what this bettor is thinking. IMO, there are so many possibilities. I also read comments from the community, some of us said maybe those bettors only risked very small amounts. which can be interpreted, if the ticket does not match expectations, he will not suffer a loss by losing his bankroll.

Whatever odds someone chooses, even though it seems unrealistic to us, someone still bets according to what he wants. There are many possibilities, right? It could be that someone doesn't have a good understanding of sports betting. Maybe he's just having fun with the smallest bet. It could be, he's a risk taker. So which one is true, we don't know. after all, he was the one betting. I understand very well, if we talk theoretically, maybe we will be surprised, I think so too. but I'm not sure what triggered it and he lost, that's a fact we know. well, I just thought, I wouldn't do it.

He had the courage to take risks because greed had taken over him to get large amounts of money. He had taken actions that were very detrimental to himself due to not prioritizing principles in placing bets. I don't think that he doesn't understand football very well, Most people who take part in bettors' tickets already understand the ins and outs of football. Greed in betting has made him lose a lot of money, he should be a smart bettor by prioritizing goals in betting to earn money. Even though the amount won wasn't very much, at least he didn't have to look for other money to take part in the next betting ticket.

points 1 and 2 are suitable for gamblers like this, greedy looking at weak team Odds as if hoping for luck and leaving everything aside, he is also a risk taker and knows that even if he bets on a weak team he still wants more and he should be ready to lose from the start because he had chosen a risky chance of winning. Meanwhile, if it is categorized as lacking strategy, I believe that the soccer betting strategy is actually quite common, where just by looking at the odds it is clear that the bookie is giving a choice, but because of greed and preferring big risks, the gambler ends up no longer caring about the basic strategy in betting on soccer. ball. I think novice gamblers definitely know that choosing small odds on a team has a big chance of winning.

He could be staking a very small amount on the bet and testing out a new strategy, or he has done it previously and has had success with such strategies, there are so many possibilities on why a gambler made such a bet and we cannot reach any conclusion with a snapshot of a bet slip.
He can not have success in such strategy. If it is one match, the probability to win it is less than 10% but he chose more games. The probability that he will lose that game is higher than 99.99% although not 100%. What I think more about this is that someone might deceived him of fixed matches and he fall for the scam. I have seen someone that got scammed like this before but with two matches that I told him he will lose and he lost both but also on a single bet.

Should I even call this greed or a lack of good strategy? The person picked five matches, how do you even expect everything to come through? It’s surprising to me, but I don’t think this will be greed. Maybe the person lacks knowledge about betting and just decides to place a bet on teams with higher odds. Even if someone is a risk taker, then we are supposed to know the kind of risk that we will be taking. There are just some risks that are not really realistic. How will you place this kind of bet, and you think all the matches will go in your favor? I can’t even imagine myself placing this kind of bet, I see it as a waste of money.

Exactly, this example cannot be considered as being greedy, or the bettor cannot be considered greedy because it's more like the bettor didn't have any idea what he was doing anymore, or because he wanted to win money, he just bet on whatever he thought fit or was good, but in reality, he has made a mistake that could become too costly. Anyway, it is his own action, and he definitely should face the consequences. He let his passive thoughts decide without proper critical thinking. That's why I think he made that bet, which is that we could see that a non-thinker has done it.
 
Even if I'm desperate to win money from betting, I will never do this thing or bet without thinking carefully about it because I know I will only regret it and what is done cannot be undone. Thankfully,  I'm not making that kind of mistake when it comes to betting because I know and enjoy when I bet, so I like thinking about where I will place my bet.

That is not small odds at all and he wants to become a multimillionaire just very easily and he might be thinking gambling he could win it.

There is no direct strategy to win in gambling, some have played it very safe all the time with their odds and never won anything so that is not the obvious way to go. The only good bet is a won bet and as long as one is not losing significant amount of money chasing a profit and having fun along the way, they are playing it right.

It is true that we can not just use a single betting slip to judge someone but those games can not be won and he may believe in miracle than reality. What I think is that the person that bet it is greedy and only want to chase after money in gambling but which will not do him any good but bad if he continues. That is not small odds at all and he wants to become a multimillionaire just very easily and he might be thinking gambling he could win it. I can guess that the person may be new to betting and ignorant a little about what he chose.  The person has all the three characteristics because that is a not a good strategy, he is a risk taker and I will say he is greedy. You are right because if he changed and not bet like this again, we can not call him all these. But as of this discussion, he is greedy is all I could think.

I don't think anything as I don't find those odds surprising or strange.I personally place bets with sometimes over 200.000 as odds and I know I am playing the lottery and not a sport bet ticket.The chances are near 0 of course to win such bets but even if it hits one single time it can be a life changing event in most countries depending on the amount of money you have put at stake in such bets.Based on this I don't call this type of gambler anything as simply he tries to hit the jackpot through such type of bets,anyone has his own ways of thinking and doing.

This can all be combined, and all these qualities are one way or another inherent in almost all gamblers. Why did you pester him, as if this gambler had done something extraordinary? He just made a bet, one that he considered necessary and was ready to risk his (not your) money for it.

Anyone who makes a bet can be accused of greed, because they want to increase their deposit.

Anyone who makes a bet can be called a risky person, because any bet involves risks.

Anyone who makes a bet can be accused of lacking a good strategy, because at least once they made a mistake with their bet. It's the same with luck.

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.
If he had won the game , many people would have celebrated him as a good risk-taker. There is nothing like greed in gambling because everyone wants to win big. Don't forget that the greater the risk the bigger the win. Most big winners in gambling take uncommon risks which many people will never take.

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.
He made his decision and it's okay for him. This is why gambling is for mature minds who take responsibility for their bet. Every gambler decides how to use his money on gambling. As much as he is a responsible gambler I will not judge his action because he might become lucky one day.
