Big Score
Gamblers are always after the big score. There’s nothing sexy about grinding out small wins for recreational bettors. I saw and witnessed it first hand in the casino business; players with million dollar credit lines didn’t care if they won or lost; they wanted that monumental run giving them a story they could tell their friends and colleagues for years. Over the weekend one sports bettor at Betonline had all his dreams come true with a $250 investment on a 21 team parlay get him back north of $145k!!! Let’s be honest, a lot of us will bet sports for an eternity and never hit an 8 teamer so you have to appreciate a guy that appeased the gambling gods for a magical payday.
“If the record-setting beatdown our players handed us wasn’t bad enough, one player capped off his 21-team mostly chalk parlay last night as the Packers money-line was his final leg. His $250 21-teamer cashed for a $145,205 score. I thought, well maybe we were able to get some of that $145K back with a hedge on the Chiefs. Nope, no hedge – he had the balls to let it all ride on Green Bay straight-up,” – Dave Mason from BOL told me on the improbable hit.
Let’s just say this isn’t a long term investment strategy I’d suggest for anyone but for one lucky bettor he caught magic in a bottle for one weekend
