Topic: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? - page 9. (Read 2316 times)

Correct, after all regardless of how unlikely it is there is always someone out there which wins the lottery and earns millions of dollars by doing nothing, so it stands to reason the same can happen with sport betting as long as a person can hit a parlay with a high enough bet, however even for an expert sport bettor this is too hard, and a person should not depend on that kind of outcome, because even if they were certain to accomplish it they have no idea how long it could take them to actually do it.

No one in their right mind has said that there's no way that someone can win in gambling, you're creating an enemy and an argument that doesn't exist. What they mean to say is that it's difficult to win in gambling so they just try to simplify it into something which unfortunately makes you and others who agree with your claim get the idea misunderstood. Also, that bet is a parlay and not everyone can get the right bets when you're parlaying because there are multiple conditions that you need to predict correctly.

Before the publicity of Op's friend's winnings, he must have been through a series of losses. Then shows up his win after a big win. It's common for gamblers to share their big wins. However, gamblers take risks in games they're able to analyze. Can't predict correctly any basketball games, but would watch and enjoy the games. A lesser guarantee of winning is what brought him the wins despite numerous cases of losing money, which may not have been unveiled. Hence, it's to anybody's detriment to gamble because of the result of this gambler, they may not be able to go through the challenges of gambling in the early stage. Gambling and not minding the result is a good quality for responsible gamblers but with some criteria that may interest any gambler to practice; self-control, splitting bankrolls, and time limits. A gambler who focuses on having fun can easily wager money without minding his results, while a risk taker who doesn't follow the criteria listed above can experience a gambling problem.

Those criteria can serve as a gambling strategy and also require a bit of luck on the player's side. When in lose it's still okay to hold on before continuing to gamble again. It'll only help in stabilizing our gambling urge and also keep regrets at a minimal level. Regretting after losing in gambling is not wrong, but continuously doing it is quite not recommended for any gambler. Getting to a point where the gambler doesn't regret anymore could be possible and that's a well-known symptom of addiction. Since the gambler is required a long time of play, most the times, to gain a big win like Op's friend. If he doesn't control his emotions, he may not be able to get to that point, of winning big. When the player is prepared to try new things, especially, he's required to follow due routines and understand at first the new game, then keep to a low pace of consistent gambling in the game.

What most of the people who are preaching that gambling/sports betting cant make you a million winning is based on the reality that many of those who are currently running into gambling are doing so because of a false mentality that they will become a millionaire in the fastest way, so seeing gambling as a get rich quick scheme is what most people are preaching against.
But that doesn't mean that, one can not hit a jackpot through gambling or win a million through sports bets, so for clarity's sake, the bet you shared is very possible and we have experienced such winnings before in our individual gambling life.

It's not impossible to be an millionaire detective in sports betting. Sports betting is a game of experience and an experience gambler can play bet high amount. Because experience sometimes give surety to win. In those sure match's gambler place high amount bet and makes huge profit. That huge profit makes a gambler one day millionaire.

Yes, only a risk taker can do that and those people who has a lot of money because they didn't even care if they will win or not. What"s important to them is to place a bet and let them see what happens. As you've said, gambling is about luck with a little bit of strategy and familiarization that's why there's a small possibility of winning but there's no 100% guarantee.

Of course I will believe in research, team statistics and knowledge because these are the basics that every gambler needs to have if they want to bet on sports and be able to make predictions that can really increase their chances of winning.
And I know there are always many bettors, even those who are new, but if you bet for a long time just about odds and your favorite team or player, it will not be able to minimize losses and increase your chances of winning.
In sports, winning is based on the ability or quality of the teams or players competing and if you only bet on odds and what is favored then defeat can be closer.
Sports betting has different way of working from casino games where the odds may depend on luck and also the game chosen so playing carelessly will also win if luck comes.
Look at the many novice gamblers who always fail in betting because they bet incorrectly, there are many betting options and if you only bet based on winnings you will lose more often.
There is draw in the match and when this happens what can they gain? only defeat to the favorite team.

It not just about winning but also about experience and knowledge.
Are you just going to enjoy it and accept all the losses?
I know sports betting is not just about the money but also about the thrill that can be gained but no gambler wants to experience losing continuously.
Gamblers who in sports betting do not care about experience and knowledge are just money machine for the house edge because every bet will only lose.

All gamblers must start learning that knowledge is very important and of course knowledge is not just for betting but can be shared with other people.
After all, truly great gambler is one who can minimize large losses, even if they don't often win, at least they bet based on knowledge not just about opportunities.

When people say they want to be millionaires, they don't mean PHP millions. $18k is a nice win, but it's nowhere near a life-changing amount (even in poor countries).

Wins like that are actually not as rare as many could think. Plenty of people around the world make crazy bets with low stakes even just for fun. But no one in their right mind would risk any serious money on such bet, so this is hardly a proof of "making it" by sports betting.

Once you do already have that popularity and fame then it would really be normal that you would really be hired or would really be get to be part of their market and this is where they do make money  too out of those popular gamblers who would really be giving out that kind of exposure. They could make out money on different angles or aspects on which we can tell that not everyone would really be able to reach out this kind of particular state for them to do so.  You would really be having those kind opportunity to make more money and this is something typical.
Speaking about on the situation that we are seeing on OP, Making out some small peanut bets and making yourself a millionaire? it is indeed possible with sports betting or even with those luck based ones but the thing suggest on which it would really be needing up that extreme luck of course.

Millionaires are birthed on a daily in the gambling space, so are millionaires wrecked also. It works both ways, if luck shines on you as a gamer, it will spin you into the other side of the divide financially and that's just how it works but keeping you constantly as a millionaire isn't the responsibility of the gambling luck to handle, meaning that you can also find yourself on the other side of the coin a few minutes after you are transformed.

Obviously, this accounts for why we don't see much millionaires come out of the gambling space as their new status don't last very long because it requires more than just luck to maintain a millinaire status.

The casino will sponsor mostly the professional gamblers because their game will be seen by most of the public around them in the casino.The casino which sponsors them only for the benefit for the name and some followers of the professional gambler will do the bidding on that gambling site.Finally both the gamblers and the casino get money by just wearing the cap of that casino.The gamblers who had huge experience will get the chance from the casino and the average gamblers may not win the game.They also can’t afford the loss in the gambling sites.The money benefit for the average gambler will be low in all aspects.

Even professional gamblers have sponsors, if you take a look at some of the most famous poker players around the world you will see that when they are playing they have shirt or a cap with the name of a casino in it, they do not do this because they are good-natured people that just want to support that casino, they wear that because they are being paid to do it, and some of them even appear on ads promoting that casino, not that there is anything wrong with that, but it is clear they are being paid for this.

I entirely disagree with you, maybe you are talking about the casino side of gambling though. If it's about sports betting, you will even see a better result than this. Gambling is risky, that is a fact, but if you wisely approach it and also play only the aspect of gambling that can't be rigged by the house, then you can actually achieve a very good result. I do not have the very best gambling experience in sportsbooks, yet I am reasonably winning to the point that I can confidently say that people can consistently win with their sports betting, and they must only ensure that they manage their bets and portfolios well for this to happen. There are career gamblers if you do not know, and if it is not possible that they have such an outstanding performance, why are they building their careers upon it?

Also, I agree with your idea that all that we see is not genuine, this is very correct, especially with celebrities. I have seen a whole lot of gimmicks when it comes to sales and marketing, this is why we shouldn't believe all that we see. But if we can't still 100% verify an allegation, we shouldn't argue it as a fact, which also applies to this allegation of yours. I believe that outstanding results are possible in gambling even despite that it could be doctored or otherwise, and when it's about betting on sports, anything is possible as I have seen some spectacular wins too. Many outstanding results are all over the place, but as always, the majority will always cry foul simply because they couldn't achieve it, but in reality, it is so. I experience this mostly in trading.

If you talk about sponsors to support gambler, it's not professional gambler, but they're a streamer or paid actor. Such people are sell their soul and privacy to make money, they don't mind to mention their name, what they do, their house, their family etc in front of people in this world.

Anyone can be like that including you, it just depends on our choice to pick it or not.

Getting a sponsorship for a gambling is a separate thing and we cannot say that if a professional gambler or a popular gambler is getting a sponsorship money therefore he is making a lot of money through gambling. Correction, he is making money through the sponsorship and not through gambling.

If anyone is making a lot of money through gambling then I will like him to make money only from gambling and then tell to people about it, getting the money from sponsorships and all such stuff will not count in gambling.

Yes some maybe some lucky gamblers who can make millions in gamble and betting but they are very few of them and the majority of the gamblers are either in equal loss or profit equation and majority of them are in loss.

Most of them just trying to influence gamblers to sign up under their referral program. Perhaps there are few that show up their winning bet slips but not on a consistent manner, that means they are just happy and just want to share their success to their friends. However, these people that are consistently showing their winning, we should be doubtful with them as we already know what they are after of, they want to rake money from you by a convincing you to gamble, and of course since you are the one who would experience, you'll know if it's really possible to make money or not.



At least you believe that it's possible. Other bettors doesn't and yet they are still gambling a huge amount of money. Some maybe just doing it for fun, but eventually they'll get bored with small bets and would think of increasing it, so it's better to be realistic or if you believe you can make money, don't doubt so you'll be able to make a strategy for you betting journey.

I don't believe win slips I see on social media, if the wins are big numbers my doubt increases. Most individuals that win from betting love to stay private so they can enjoy their money and not be disturbed by family members and close relatives for their share of the money won. Also for security they won't come out of the open to announce their victory therefore all those bet slips we see on social media are always altered to attracting gamblers.

You can become a millionaire from sport betting but it doesn't happen very often, many gamblers are losing more than they're winning and that's the reason behind the sportsbooks still in business. If everyone were winning millions regularly, they'll go out of business as they won't have the money to payout the victories. When gambling the aim should be to entertain yourself and not be at a lost, the millions aren't necessary always a target but if it happens that's your luck.

Professional gamblers for sure have sponsors to support them in their game, for sure they are skilled and talented which is why they are considered professional which is why some companies sponsor them. Sure they cannot be rich overnight but if you have the funds and can continue to play, you could still get rich in a long period of time, the downside is no matter how much you win, you will still split it with your sponsors. With that, you can say you can make a living with gambling, but you won't be a millionaire with that method cause gambling still rely on luck despite on your skills and talent, you just reduce the risk of losing with your skills.

but my opinion about gambling is that you always lose, it depends on what type of game you play and previously I also said that if you want to get the chance to get a jackpot, try playing luck based games such as slots, dice, etc. which are related to luck, of course if you are lucky, you will only get the jackpot in less than an hour it can change your life but the problem is you have to be prepared to accept the risk of losing because the longer you bet the house always wins and the opinion above is very true if gambling is just about always losing and the possibility that when you get a big win you just calculate the win and win the losses will not be equivalent.

unless you are playing a skill based game, maybe the opinion above is not true because in this skill based game you only rely on the skill of processing the cards in your hand to always win. so that victory will greatly influence your skills.
It just that it takes long time and patience to practice skills we have to be able to beat other gamblers to be successful in winning every time they gamble and in this way gambler can get winning streaks and become millionaire.
but you need to remember that even though you can always win and get lot of money to become a millionaire you need good management because if we can always win but can not manage our finances we definitely not be able to become millionaires but will only end up becoming gambling addicts.

Yes, it's the same as when we work and get the money. As I know, the professional gambler is just a worker who gets the money daily. I have rarely heard a professional gambler just make a big money on 1 night. they sure didn't get rich overnight but gradually and the same as work on the main office. If we heard a gambler just won and to be millioner on one night, it's certain he's not a profesional gambler, but a person who have luck and maybe will get lost and poor again when he continues gambling. In fact, Someone who makes gambling as a job just to earn a little money but daily just to meet his living needs.
