I think I would rather to go for the slow and steady path. I don't know why, but I always like to have the sensation I have a minimum of a chance to come out victorious of those sportbets in which I participate, going for such high multipliers it could perfectly mean I would never score a single win during the whole season and could be wasting my money. Sure, going for reasonable odds means one needs to keep certain level of consistency with bets, otherwise bad luck streaks can rapidly drain our bankroll.

Also, we need to keep in mind one's changes in either case increase of one is very familiar and knows the sport one is betting on. It would not be the same for me to bet on football matches than doing the same on basketball matches, the latter I don't know anything about.

We all want to win in gambling that’s why we keep coming back. Whether we win or lose, we return hoping to hit that next big win. But over time, it becomes a habit, as even when we win, we don’t stop, meaning we’re probably still not satisfied with our winnings.

Let’s make it realistic with some numbers here...

Maybe let's say your goal is to win $10,000 in a single season of a sport and you only bet $20 per game..
so to reach that goal, you’d need to win 500 times. But in reality, there are ups and downs that might make you lose focus, go on a bad streak, and eventually lose more than expected.

Now, what if instead of betting consistently, you just bet $2 per day on a parlay with x5000 odds? If luck is on your side, you’d cash out $10,000 in a single hit.

So what’s the better approach? Bet small and aim for a huge parlay, or take it slow and steady?
You want to use $20 to win $10000? If the gambling site that you choose sees this, the gambling site will be very happy. Do you know the reason the gambling site will be very happy? It is because the gambling site has seen another 99.999999999% chance to win another $20 which a gambler is about to lose.

The goal is to "win" or to "get" $10,000?

If to win, I will go for x5,000 odds, who cares even it sounds impossible, because my goal is to hit the jackpot and I don't mind to wait.

If to get, I will choose neither of them, I will make money and invest, I'm sure after few months or even years, I will make it. There's no guarantee in gambling I will get such amount because it's all about luck and the house always win.

There's nothing really consistent about gambling - if someone tells you he can be consistent by betting as much as $2 per day on parlays, I think he's lying. Gamblers quite often lose consistency in their initial plans - whatever the game, they are often tempted by other, more profitable options. I'm not even sure someone could bet every game for an entire season without changing their gambling style.

- I mean who want losing game right hahah unless you do gamble for fun that most of the rich people doing haha
- If your on luck you can easy win the game I mean is there odds x5000 on a single game that insane if there are real odds like that and more crazy if you win 10K from the 2 USD that is true jackpot haha
- if you have win rate like 55-60% I would go to slow and steady game rather than using lump sump strategy I mean stable income is always better right

I have never won a parlay with a big odds, so I did not consider such a strategy for myself, I thought that it is better to make small bets with a more realistic odds, but even in this approach there are many losing bets. I can't even imagine how many events need to be added to the parlay to reach x5000, most likely more than ten, if with odds of 2 and if lower, then even more.

I would like to know how many people won such bets.

It's not easy to win 500 times especially with a bet of $20 per match this is quite hard even though you say there are ups and downs of this win still I say it's hard.

Continue with low stakes but the x5000 odds are the same... You have to put a lot of matches into the parlay hoping for luck to come, never in my life have I come across x5000 odds in sports betting... So if this is an option then it is better to bet with 1 match that will be easier to control to see the chances of winning.

500 wins in a single season, if we should include the loses then i suppose making such amount is impossible.

Sharing $2 into X5000 odds is likely impossible to make the $10K, if you may want to keep the huge parlay then can reduce to about X100, if well accumulated then making your first $200 is a good start, from here you can actually start with some rollovers, monitor the risk and understand when and on which specific game to gamble on.

Take it slow. You don't have to bet for all the 10 or 15 matches because with this,  you roll a higher risk of losing.

While you can always just parlay 3 or five matches that you can easily think, these teams are sure to win due to the odds given by the bookmakers and most of the speculators you see online are telling their prediction so.

Before the year started, I had the same questions about my sportsbetting gambling activity. Should I stick to low-odds bets with small but consistent wins or go for high-odds parlays? Up until now, I’ve mostly chosen high odds combo or parlay bets. I tend to be impatient and in the end the parlay usually loses.

I’d like to bet on low odds, but I can’t seem to stop myself from placing high odds parlays. I saw on Twitter that some low odds combo bets reached 2000x payout win.

If you ask me, I’d prefer low odds bets with small but steady wins because high odds parlays are really difficult to hit—unless your combo consists only of low odds selections.

To get x5000 puts a lot of risk in your parlay. I will not do that. I'd rather make that kind of bet for fun but I won't expect too much. Also, it could be ruined by the cashout option if suddenly it opens up and gives you a chance to pull it back with some profits. Still, I don't recommend doing this because there's too little of a chance to make it win everything. Some even make just 4 leg parlays and cannot still win it.
I'd rather go with that long way and just enjoy watching the games that I bet for. It's not like I am in a rush to make such an amount.

I don't know much about sports betting but it seems to me that the probability of you hitting the 500 times is close to 0.

Now, what if instead of betting consistently, you just bet $2 per day on a parlay with x5000 odds? If luck is on your side, you’d cash out $10,000 in a single hit.

So what’s the better approach? Bet small and aim for a huge parlay, or take it slow and steady?

I don't see much difference, for me it's as if you were asking which is better: whether to buy 500 lottery tickets in one day or over 500 days.
