Topic: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? - page 18. (Read 2315 times)

Nobody says you can't win in gambling. Anybody can, it's just that most of the gamblers have more losses than a winning. Winning a huge sum of money is possible if you are lucky and skilled enough, especially in sports betting. As we all say, it will take a lot of experience to be able to predict the outcome of each bet. But not every bet is a win, it's all just the same for everyone. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we can't.

All I can say is he is lucky to have won a million pesos. I'm happy for him but be careful on the continuation of your gambling journey. Winning in gambling with this much money can boost your confidence that sometimes lead to losing money.

Just like I replied to a post earlier, the majority of people gambling are doing so because of the money, but at the same time, the fact that they are not getting this money is causing discouragement and hence, the reason for the advice that could be discouraging at times. Without controversies, gambling outcomes are always in two ways, it's either the person loses or wins, and that's why it's logical to say that there will be some outstanding winners like this example, just as there will be someoutstanding losers.

Also, I believe it's still wise to view gambling as what you can't control the outcome, which is making people to preach caution based on the belief that you can be making steady money to the extent that you now make it as your primary source of income. These are the cases I read on the forum and as a matter of fact, they are valid.

Your excitement is not a yardstick to judge things entirely as you've not shown any proof that the guy could replicate this winning over and over again. This might only be his best winning in the next 1-2 years, so can anyone rely on that? Gambling is sweet and we will always try our luck, but those who preaches caution are not lying as well, and the same goes for you that encouarges.

This makes me to conclude that we should continue to gamble but gamble responsibly and not totally depend on it as a source of income.

If that's what you thinking, you've misunderstood the warnings, it's not about you never winning, it's about you losing it all back to gambling if you don't know what you are doing.

Now the question is what do you plan to do with the money you won? Keep gambling just like others? Gambling will take everything back if you don't know what you are doing.

The only thing you do right is risking small money and you can't tell me that you've never lost a lot of money in sports betting before winning this, I have many friends that are into sports betting, they win and they lose, they should have use the money they won to turn their lives around, instead they keep gambling, now it doesn't make any difference.

Establish yourself with this money, and keep using small amount for gambling if you can't move on, this is an opportunity seized, do not expect the same thing to happen another time, possible but very low chance, and don't bet on it.

I know that betting on sports betting can easily become a millionaire and I often find it out there even in this forum and that winnings can be obtained but keep in mind that whatever sport we analyze in several matches with the strength of the opponent as well as others it also requires something called luck, so I wouldn't try to bet like he did betting $18 for $18k, even though I know he was betting with money he was prepared to lose.

I may not be as lucky as him, that's why don't try to copy other people's wins, that's enough motivation that sports betting can make anyone a millionaire because luck accompanies him, not because he's a professional because whatever the gambling, everything again requires luck, without that it's impossible to win. 

We have always heard unpleasant news from gamblers in the gambling section which might make people assume that people are not winning bets. Meanwhile, people are making money from gambling every day. Therefore it is proper that people also share news of wins in this section. It will help to build the confidence and hope of members. Some people have been discouraged because of frequent losses, but this good news will motivate them to keep pushing. This section is here to promote responsible gambling and also help people learn how to gamble more effectively.  

You are very correct. He will still be a millionaire if he still maintains his gambling budget. Immediately he increases his gambling budget based on how much he has earned there is a high tendency that he might lose all he has won. If your friends had used the bet to expand their businesses and still maintain small amounts, they wouldn't have lost the IT business. They were just greedy because they were not content with small wins.  

These wins that get posted on social media including this forum are one in a thousand or more. The rest of them are losing the bets. If everyone was winning the bets, the casino would go bankrupt, but that never happening, we all know that.

Hence by showing one big win, it does not mean that the next bet is going to be another big win. Maybe even the person who made this bet won big after a long line of losses and it is possible that they money they made on this one still does not break even the cumulative losses till date.

My point being that gambling can be a win for some, if so cash out and never come back - but for most people it will be a loss and the casino will always be the winner.

He must be a lucky person with good skills in Sports betting because risking that amount is not as simple for normal gambler and yes with that huge multiplier .

he may have more of this kind winning because sportsbet needs skill and yes a better understanding to which game and what team you are going to bet.
it maybe a small amount to risk but as you said with that so ow odds? he must be a true gambler to put that amount.

The result of the bet I think is a combination of experience of the person the gambler as well luck because it's very rare for someone to actually win this big in sports betting with this kind of prediction. The winner actually went to far  at the rate of he took in this particular bet which I think it'll be very difficult for a random gambler to follow suit but at the end, he was rewarded with huge win which now makes sense to everyone.One thing I've learnt about gambling is that there are two ways it triggers gamblers to gamble uncontrollably. Firstly is when they're losing in gambling and when they're winning in gambling and the failure for gambler to regulate his activities during these periods simply leads him to gambling addiction. This person has already won big in gambling with this kind of reported win but if he further tries to bet on similar games with same strategies he used in winning this big, he might not be lucky again like he the recent winning and that might trigger him to gamble more thereby losing all his money

Yes gamblers keep trying it betting continuously and sacrificing money then winning, does this look easy?
Of course it looks easy and anyone who sees every winning bet slip will think that betting is easy because they just give up money and win, but they don't think about how much money they have spent in continuing to try to bet.
A gambler who can really understand the systematics of gambling well will consider winning as just return of everything they have previously lost because they know they don't gamble just once or twice.
I often say that every win is not completely an advantage to make money because there is always loss before or after the win you get.

He was lucky to have that win with only small bet of around $18 but he would go back to betting again and no one knew whether he would win or lose and I sure the next bet would be with bigger money because he believed he could get more.

I would say that winning is truly refreshing gain if he can stop gambling completely so that in the future there will be no more losses.

A lot of people will not mind risking $18 to win $18k, that is a steal of a bargain. What will discourage most is the odds of that game being successful, those odds are so low and to win you have to rusk ~$18 over and over again which will total to a lot of money and you still might not get lucky.

It is easy to say, "You won't win if you won't try," but it's crucial to be mindful that success often involves taking risks. Another consideration is that not everyone can afford to risk around $20 on gambling. While it's acceptable to encourage people to bet for the possibility of winning, we should also consider individuals who might be persuaded to place bets despite not being able to afford the potential loss of an $18 bet.

Moreover, I'm curious about whether the user was able to withdraw these funds. The outcome seems unusually high compared to the bet amount. Yes, I understand it's a bet builder, but I find it hard to believe that a casino offers such high payout for a 'small' stake.

On a personal note, I would be willing to bet the amount if I had the opportunity to win a high payout. In fact, I've been searching recently, but I can't find any bookmakers that provide such high payout even trying to do the bets on parlay or bet builder.

Do you have any single idea that fellow has lost to gambling before making that win? Besides nobody said you can make wins like this through gambling, I've seen even more bigger victories, but the question remains, do you see these wins everyday? I believe you know the answer, you rarely see these kinda wins, and to make this much, you'll need to be a high staker. So another question is, how high are you capable of staking and how much risk are you capable of taking. Chasing this kinda win is exactly what has ruined most gambler's life

at first look I thought we are talking about Million Dollar that's why I dig instantly just to check whos this so lucky man .
but yeah even if this is 18k usd yet its hard for us(small gamblers like me) to win such bit though the bet is a normal bet for me each time I gamble .
looking also to have this same luck in the coming days as now that we are approaching December its my Gambling month as I have enough time and budget to gamble.
and congrats to that winner also .

This is just one story of one individual succeeding in gambling, we have other stories of many individuals not succeeding. We can't use only one story to conclude that you can become a millionaire. If the same story is happening frequently then we can conclude. When gambling, the house is always at an advantage meaning more players will lose to the house so gambling isn't as profitable as this story is making it to look like, readers shouldn't be deceived.

Gamblers can make profits when they play games but they shouldn't depend fully on gambling as you can win some games and lose some other games. It's very rare to win millions and also more rare to use small wagers to win life changing money as the example is trying to justify. When gambling try to make sure you're winning more games than you're losing and staying in profits, winning millions in any currency isn't always possible but you should be making profits.

Just wondering who are those people saying not? If they don't believe that this one would provably happen to them then what's the point of betting? Even if the chances to get those win but its still have a chance to happen. Remember we bet to take those chances and the person you told us here is one of the proof that its really possible to win and became a millionaire if you are in Philippines.

For question if I can risk $18 or more for a chance to win $18 also more than that then yes. That's why we gamble to hit that prize so for sure will do that since that's what people usually aiming for since imagine how many things you can buy with that money if you hit a huge luck for betting on sports betting sites.

People can achieve success in anything if they try but bet can be different because bet is totally dependent on luck. There is nothing wrong with taking risks, but success does not come from taking risks. Here, if I could have made $18,000 with $18 guaranteed, I would have deposited $18 for the bet. The uncertainty here is that if I take $18, that $18 can be gone in an instant. So I would never try to get $18,000 for $18 in this game of uncertainty. Because my luck is not very helpful when it comes to betting.

Everyone gambles to make big money with little money some day, if gamblers don't believe why are they gambling? The difference is some people are desperate to become a millionaire using gambling, and some just have a hope that they will win good amount so day, and they do this the safest way.

There is nothing to worry about if your mind believe that you can get lucky one day in gambling, you only have to keep gambling is a safer manner, using what you can afford to lose, that's all..

Been reckless and irresponsible is what results in addiction, and also big loses that people aren't prepared for, I really don't want to become a millionaire in gambling, I just want to make some gains using my luck is all, I've never dreamt of winning million in gambling, congrats OP if that's really your win, I hope you manage that well or even channel the money into something better.

When we say gambling portfolio and the percentage of using the gambling portfolio, we never check the total amount invested in each game but only the percentage is taken into account.

Usually, i will go with a rule of risking 1% of my gambling portfolio in each game and bet. So if I have 100$ in my gambling account, i will gamble each game with 1 dollar. Similarly, if i have 1000$ in my gambling portfolio, I will gamble every game with 10$. So in both cases, even if I lose a game, I will lose one percent of my gambling money.

 

The truth is that what worked for others may not really worked for another person and we know that in gambling nothing is certain for sure and the possibility of wining is not also guarantee so even if we saw many people wining from there gambling bet doesn't necessarily mean that if someone venture into it they will surely win because gambling doesn't work that way, I'm not disputing the fact that gambling can make someone a millionaire overnight but my point is that it entails luck sometimes before someone could win that big, because I have seen someone who is every experience in gambling but finds it very difficult to win.

Although one of the things I like about gambling is that when you win sometimes you win big so i believe that's one of the reasons why most people prefer to risk high so if eventually they win it becomes very huge. So for me I don't think I can risk that big in gambling because in as much I may feel that the bet is very certain i will win but reversal could be the case so I don't think I can risk that high but however if I have a lot of money that removing that amount will not affect me of course I can decide to try it out.

If I don't believe that I can win millions from gambling, I wouldn't be gambling. There's a difference between hoping to win and being so desperate to win. You have to understand that gambling needs luck, no matter how good you are, you still need a bit of luck to win in gambling.
The amount a person should be willing to risk shouldn't be the question, the question is how much is that amount you're willing to risk worth to you. $100 may mean nothing to me person and that same $100 may mean a lot to another person. You can't take an amount that's so much more that you can afford to lose to gamble with the hope that you'll win the bet. It ends up badly most of the time.
When people become so desperate to win or keep trying to win back their losses, they end up being addicted to gambling and that is a bad place to be.
