Topic: What category would you classify such bettor? (Read 480 times)

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 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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?

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.

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

His money is his rules for betting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


Exactly:

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
