To me, I feel he doesn’t have good knowledge about the game he’s playing bets on - because I see no reason why someone would be willing to risk their money on a 15 odds game.
If it was just one out of all of them I would have been more convinced that he probably did it due to the fact that he was a risk taker but since all the game he took are looking abnormal or something a novice who just wants to turn their little deposit into a profit with just a single parlay.
Others might have a different opinion but for me, once a game crosses the 4 odds threashold I’m no longer interested in it again, I’d prefer accumulating various 1.8-2 odds games than to go on a single 15 odds game.
Topic: What category would you classify such bettor? - page 4. (Read 480 times)
From the first look on the picture I though that either the guy is crazy (he is betting on number of corners only and all bets are very risky) or he has got freebets. And since he was lucky once with guessing right number of corners, he is trying to repeat that. I would call him weirdy. His bets are definitely not random, nor he is reckless bettor. There is a logic behind his bets, I am sure of that, but I cant figure out it yet.
He is obviously a risk taker. Big money comes with big risk. If he wins, he will win big. He doesn’t want to win small potatoes because small winnings won’t affect his life in a meaningful way. Is it a viable strategy? It definitely is if you get a quick win before you lose much of your capital. Then you can grab your prize and go enjoy your life.
People who bet on 1.01-1.05 chance games are the real losers imo. They risk so much to get so little. It doesn’t make any sense.

The ticket is not complete, I would like to see how much money is involved. If the bet is small there is likely some strategy involved... Apparently, the guy is chasing 5 games with 7 or more corners for one of the teams, and I guess he caught this before. In support of that, we can see that there are 2 other bets besides, which may be more serious, and this is being chased with some small bet, and if it comes, it comes.
So if the bet is small we can't say he is a risk taker. If he has already bet this way (and maybe won) it can be said that it is a strategy... good or bad, again depends on his previous successes/failures. He was definitely unlucky with this ticket, but then again, it's hard to say anything other than that. Maybe he had more luck in the past with this kind of bet, maybe he will have better luck in the future... I think it's foolish to even discuss it when we don't have all & complete information.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Risk taker
Lacks good strategy
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. Lacks good strategy
Greed is the cause of such decisions and I would say maybe he is having fun and decided to take the country with the highest odd. At the same time, I will say that this bettor does not understand football and that his why he is going for underdogs. This is because I know that it is impossible.
To wrap it up, I will say that it is both greed and lack of good strategy that caused such decision making by the bettor. No one will purposely throw away his money because he wants to take risk that the chance of winning is close to zero.

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.
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.
