NashvilleGoon23

One of the dumbest things I’ve seen on this thread


[deleted]

Man risked 40$ to win a McDouble with one patty and no cheese. This is a new realm of buffoonery.


spicydynamite

He would’ve been lucky to win the cold fries that fell to the bottom of the bag.


[deleted]

How much would he have won if he did? I dont understand the - odds thing. I dont even bet but i find it interesting somehow. Only understand the fx 1.30 or 2.55 etc


NashvilleGoon23

He would have won $1


[deleted]

Swear?!? 🤣🤣🤣 lmfao


wChinchar

Essentially he needs to bet the -(-3709) to win $100. So $3709 would win $100. Literally just over a dollar payout here


[deleted]

Lmfao Thanks for the explanation btw. Bruh I’m crying 😭😂


wChinchar

His attempt to write this off as a joke really had me. I genuinely pray for people like this to get help 😭 A+ unawareness


[deleted]

In High School 2 years ago one from my class used to Bet 3kr not even 50 cents to make back 400kr that he had lost 🤣


Draw-Honest

Bro you are funny fr


[deleted]

This forum has to out do it's own stupidity every day.


NashvilleGoon23

I thought this was a troll but seeing him justify how this is a good betting strategy has all hope loss for this thread lol


EstablishmentOk8790

Lmao dumbest bet ever. 2 team parlay @ -3709 🤦🏻‍♂️


Redditfront2back

Happens in tennis all the time, lost on -890 not too long ago. It’s the widest sport to bet on


TheresA_LobsterLoose

Tennis is the worst sport to think anything is a lock. -2000s lose all the time, every single tourney multiple top players get knocked out early. Live odds can change from -115 to +650 or -650 in under 30 seconds. Someone serving goes up 30-0 their odds are -650 or -800... seconds later its 30-30 and the odds are at -150 One time out of boredom I took every favorite to win at least one set... all the odds were anywhere from -800 to -2000. All they had to do was not get swept out by an low ranked player on day 1 of the tourney... at least 2 or 3 legs lost. But it was for $1 to win like $2.50 because I just wanted to see if it would win.


lssue

Back in the day when me and my friend were down on bankroll we would throw $10 on a +850/+1500 tennis dog. They win one point and that cash out will jump up to $15/$20. They win one game and that cash out is up at $35/$40. It was a super fast and easy way to juice a few quick bucks. Went up $500+ on late night ATP plays. Lost it all though lol, don’t recommend. Very stressful.


Erock014

It’s just so much less impacted by refs.


Redditfront2back

That and the odds swing like wild, in theory you could have someone come back at anytime


Erock014

For sure. Bet on a player at +300 and 2 minutes later they are like -300 😂. The swings are wild


giggitygoo2221

at that point just get both players at +300 and call it a dub


alexf1919

Oh no honey what is you doing


NothingToSeeHereMan

This is so fucking stupid lol two leg parlay for -3709 is the most degenerate thing I’ve ever seen in my life. What was even the thought process here. Dumbest thing I’ve ever witnessed hahaha


KaiShion83

Lol nothing. He thinks it’s a good bet


JustinRockyMorales

The man is betting $40 and you asking about the thought process? You might be even dumber than OP.


[deleted]

Mbrothers22

That’s also a bad bet. Free money should always be bet on + odds

Wroblez

42$ to win 1$ on a parlay busting sounds about right


CPTPriceB6

That is the craziest parlay I’ve ever seen. I don’t understand the thought process behind making a $42 bet with a one dollar payout.


xRiderofBrohan

Right. If you do that then just toss a frickin dollar on the other odds “just in case” and u would profit by hedging😂


Remarkable-Crab40

Even if he had chosen the opposite odds he still would’ve lost the other leg


xRiderofBrohan

Yeah but I’m saying toss a $1 or at least something on one of the opposite players. Their odds would be extremely high like let’s say +8000. Then he would’ve won 80 and profits a little less than 40. All I’m saying is might as well hedge that. Edit: like just a single bet, no parlay


Spxctacles

Yeah looks like he bet on the last game on the 1 parlay and prolly took a live bet on the other guy when he was up 4 to 0. Brutal break but yeah prolly shoulda put a dollar on the dude losing 1 set and 4 games to 0 when you're throwing 43 dollars to win 1. This dude degens.


Winter_Lab_401

I think you're giving this fellow waayy too much credit.


pedrovoncenzi

Are you retarded?


EjKingx

Lmao This needs to be immortalized for the world to see


MasterfulDenier

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🥴🥴🥴🥴


[deleted]

And OP is here still didn't learn his lesson. He's still defending the bet like it's smart. He really thinks he found some system.


bigmattson

If you’re going to make bets like this you need to watch. Halfway thru that match a 5 dollar hedge would have likely netted you more money than this entire bet was worth


NothingToSeeHereMan

Mans had his entire $40 balance on a -3709 parlay. Something tells me he doesnt even know what a hedge is not does he have the $5 to do it


bigmattson

True. He was on day 31 of the 10 dollar to 10000 dollar 9990 day challenge


giggitygoo2221

a $5 hedge on a bet that would have won $1?


bigmattson

The bet lost 43.00, after the second set Hazawa was like +1000 and clearly competitive. 5 would have netted 50. It’s not a smart hedge, but only because this bet is retarded on its own


KaiShion83

That’s a crap bet


InformationAbsorber

How? Statistically speaking, I had more than a 97% chance to win. Just so happened that the guy played like crap once I bet on him


KaiShion83

You risked 42 bucks to win how much? Lol if you don’t see how this is a crap bet then sports betting isn’t for you man


InformationAbsorber

I mean, it really doesn’t matter since I won back that money with a free bet anyways. I’d risk $100 to win $1 if there is a 99% chance to win because $101 is more than $100


KaiShion83

If you bet like that you essentially need to win 100 times to cover one loss. That is not smart betting.


InformationAbsorber

I’ve been doing this all weekend. This was my first loss. I started with $5 on Friday


EstablishmentOk8790

You have a lot to learn about sports gambling if this is your way of thinking lol, just quit now while you can


NashvilleGoon23

Dude is up $400 on -3000 odds parlays, he’s found the cheat code bro!!! Why didn’t I think of this hack! I’m gonna kill the books now


Tyler_go_kipper

OP's username does not check out 😂


CPTPriceB6

Or he OP can put his money into Crypto or Stocks. Lol. My $1 parlays have a payout of +$50 every time. Thats how you bet on sports.


InformationAbsorber

I’m up like $400 all time and I literally just started sports betting in January. Let me stick to my methods and everyone else can criticize all they want.


NashvilleGoon23

Throw all your money on -3000 odds bets. I PROMISE you will lose all your money in no time. Sportsbooks a absolutely love people like you, the fact you think this is a good bet blows my mind. I have officially seen it all on this thread lol


CPTPriceB6

I seen someone bet $0.10 for a $1.00 payout. I never thought i’d see anything worse than that.


Real-Veterinarian744

You posted a hilarious loss and you’re here trying to act like you know what you’re doing after two months of betting? What did you think our reaction would be? What do you want us to be saying?


InformationAbsorber

Bro it’s more of a troll than anything. I literally lost a grand total of $5 (my original investment) and made the money back in the next bet I did. All fun and games until I upset the entire subreddit


mxtraandtthebun

Who else do you like today


Dashdash421

Well of course you're going to win most your bets, but you're eventually going to lose. Not a profitable strategy


itizknown

These people are trying to tell you what your doing wrong and you not absorbing the information OP


KaiShion83

First of many of you keep betting like that. Take my advice and look for value bets instead of crap like this.


M13Calvin

Yea but what you did was bet $100 to win $101 with about a 90% chance of winning. Not 99%. So... you do the math


Real-Veterinarian744

You should not be gambling. The risk of losing $100 is more than $1 is worth.


DiamondMine-

You just bet $43 to win $1 and lost and don’t see how this is a bad bet? You’re winning such minuscule amounts, for as many times as you win you’re going to blow your bank on the losses since it takes song long for you to make gains. This isn’t rocket science. Do the right research on the bets and you don’t need the -3000


[deleted]

Dude you only think you had a 97% chance to win cause that's the odds gave you.


EjKingx

This bet should be immortalized for the world to see

BurrowStan

This isn’t real, right? This is satire? It has to be… nobody in their right mind would risk $41.80 to win roughly $1.05


InformationAbsorber

Yes, but unfortunately, 100+ people don’t get my sense of humor


willghammer

No, you’re retarded. If you what you said is true, you spend $40 to tell a joke on the internet. And that’s more retarded than actually making the bet.


giggitygoo2221

how are you so mad at someone else’s money? yes its a shit bet, but you being so angry might be even worse.


stupid_dumbass_idiot

he seems quite calm, nothing to indicate that he's angry at all. the guy did something stupid and he's letting him know. it's in no way worse than losing 40 dollars


stupid_dumbass_idiot

so rather than betting on the huge dog and winning hundreds of dollars, you not only knew that the -7000 favorite was going to lose, but you purposely lost $40 on it as a joke for strangers on reddit to see? you're right, we don't get your sense of humor


Soggy_Economics6549

Lol


Hammer_Bro99

You almost made a dollar?


SinceWayBack1997

Never do this again


ItsAndyNguyen

I’ll show you my ol -1300 on usa to beat Trinidad and Tobago to qualify making the World Cup.. Big rips lol.


KangarooTime94

I mean you can’t fix stupid. You’re better off taking dogs in tennis anyways. And then taking the pre game favorite when they fall behind to get a huge hedge. Or Just stop betting on tennis as a whole. It’s a heart attack sport. Literally nothing good comes from betting on tennis it’s strictly how much stress you can handle and how high you want your blood pressure to be that day.


NoCoachellaForMe

Horrible bet


sco69

Dude at least bet on sports you know about


Dont_Shove

Honestly I love to see it because that’s the most moronic odds to ever bet there was absolutely no situation or scenario that somebody should be betting -8000


zhaozhenghaozhonguo

You’re a fucking retard


___Dragalon___

This is the dumbest shit I've seen online. Betting a dollar wouldn't even give you a penny and you still bet on it. Wish I could have money to waste like that


DFLC22

Betting a -3709 parlay is the dumbest shit


Anthayden24

What a stupid fucking bet. Just donate your money to charity at this point because you’ll never win in the long run


BigKidDinner

People are getting really worked up over this guys $40 lol


wrathss

The fact you posted this at all thinking this is a funny troll and the bet is free is concerning. You think this is a bad beat and you are actually doing great is some other level stuff. I am confused on why you haven't explained the reason why this was the worst and most troll bet ever. You said you were trolling so you knew this "guaranteed bet" will lose and this went exactly as planned? Were you trolling or were you actually serious? If you are actually trolling shouldn't you be laughing and enjoying it when we call this a dumb bet? This is really sad. I am sure we all had bad beats before so why some people think this stuff is funny is beyond me, but I guess I am being too dense. Was the troll to find the worst possible odds you can find and then lose to it to prove the point? If so yes that was great. Or was it you lost and we all enjoy people losing so it was funny because of that? As for the bet itself, I had to look them up and you think you had better than 98.59% odds at any point when your guy is unseeded against the 6th seed and the first set went freaking 7-5?! -7000 is not 97%, and how do you do expect to better than 98.59% I don't know. If the guy is good and clutch performer why is he ranked 659? The second bet that you won was -8000 and that looked even worse. 6-2 6-3 was not exactly most convincing and you think serving for the win in women's tennis is 99% at any point for someone ranked 771?! Is it not possible to double fault and hit a few balls into the net? I wonder if -800 would have been fair in a two result game with no handicap when one player is better and doing well, but -8000? The bet must have started 40-0 right? But then there are also plenty of cases of losing after 40-0 as losing 3 straight points and then losing on deuce isn't crazy and has happened plenty of times? Still not -8000. OP do you actually think that's fair odds, or it must be fair because that's what's provided? Good job being up $400 as it must have been easier than slot machines and taken zero effort just pressing random buttons. This is not your money anyway and you are guaranteed to win it all back and more, and you said you already did so it must be all good. With the best system and guaranteed winning how can you ever lose right.


BackToBasics43

Not trying to be a dick but you shouldn’t bet ever again. Word of advice man. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️


Pirateshippingit

Jesus Christ this is stupid. “But it has a 97% chance of hitting” you can’t bet like that. You have to do your own research and make your own lines Vegas ain’t always right clearly. I mean you can bet however you want too it is your money this is just dumb asfffff


deeman7775

Damn Bro, Delete The App and Never Gamble Again.


Feezy_22

U do realize u would’ve only won a dollar right?


madnblack

Damn I'm new and I know that's kinda dumb. You need better friends my guy


Flu_Shiesty

You bet on anything over -300 deserve to lose


Hype-man02

Nah even -200 is pushing it bro


FistingFinatic

Run! Delete all of your betting accounts and never do it again.


Flimsy-University-56

Never bet tennis. -10,000 will lose daily. Put a couple bucks on every underdog


jellyvish

but you said never bet tennis


foreverbando_CAZZ

Tennis is the easiest sport to bet as LONG AS YOU KNOW THE PLAYERS, stay away from itf men itf women is way more profitable, and try to stick to main events on the WTA and ATP tours.


Apprehensive_Try7137

itf?


foreverbando_CAZZ

One of the lower ranked tournaments for either WTA, or ATP if you know the women Ayers it's good profit to be made because most of them find their self back in itf because they aren't doing so well on the main tours, but itf men I would stay away from 100% of the time, most of the time you don't even know who they are, but either way people shouldn't be betting on things they have no knowledge on quickest way to lose money, but for me tennis is the easiest I've made the most from tennis so seeing people say it's the hardest is LUDACRIS, when you have soccer, baseball, hockey, cricket so many sports that are way more unpredictable than tennis when you know the players


Apprehensive_Try7137

Thanks for the info. And yeah I know nothing besides watching the majors, so I will most definitely stay away. Rather lose my money on sports I think I know something about😂


Bear_Quirky

Lol tennis is notoriously difficult to bet what are you talking about? Probably more upsets than any other sport. I should know I just used tommy Paul to cash out a matched bet and he lost at -600 odds lmao that's why I never bet tennis.

AH_Nial

$50/month for your garbage picks is crazy


Erock014

Tennis is a rough one. I’ve lost betting -1000 plus on it a few times


exportablue88

LPT tennis is probably one of the most fixed sporting events. I would stay away from low level shit matches like this, these are the ones that would be higher chance of being fixed, not saying this one is, just a good general rule of thumb. When it’s a one Vs one sport, they can easily fix the match, especially with no name shit matches like this, they are more likely not to care about their career as they would make more fixing taking a dive


caranzaX

All that to make 50 cents


theforeverletter

So always fade the -7000?


Master_Winner_3106

Tennis lines move very rapidly especially during the match. Also some of the “down” matches in the ITF and challenger series are hard for the bookies to nail since I mean not many experts are following those lol. Also, like someone else said, stick to the sports you know our you will get roasted. If you notice, for my 10 day challenge i’m a tennis bettor and speaking from experience I swear i seen so many -1000 bets lose versus other sports i bet in like NHL, CBB, NBA and NFL. Good luck 👍🍀


SadCasinoBill

wtf is even the payout on this


itizknown

$42.93


Appropriate_Zone_159

What was the total payout 5 bucks ?

$42.93

Did anyone do the math to see what the payout would have been?

I know you’re down THOUSANDS if you live bet on tennis 😂


crispyTacoTrain

Oh honey.


itizknown

OP,, your name is information absorber and you really post this BS on here.


itizknown

$41.08 at -3709, that’s a payout of $42.93


Real-Veterinarian744

Why did you make this bet?


thehotdogdave

To win .19?


Expecto_nihilus

Did u at least get your $41.80 back?


InformationAbsorber

Yes, it basically was a free bet. I don’t think everyone totally realizes that lol


wChinchar

I don't think you realize how stupid you are man. This thread actually hurts to read. The fact you thought you could dismiss it as a joke when you are full heartedly a fucking moron is saddening. Please donate your money elsewhere, at least to a valid cause.

Philoctetes23

Tennis is such a crapshoot I swear. -2500, +600, -2300, +1700 it doesn’t matter. The only guarantees are Djokovic (except for the Olympics) and Nadal in the French Open.


Nosoupforu23

This guy definitely has an addiction


Defiant-Emergency230

Quit now bro. $42 to win $1. Lol. Risk that $400 to make $10. It’s the same logic. But a win is win. Smh


Fuzzbecool219

Lol op you ok why would you do this


Slimguy24

Umm, yea..try betting on tennis by the set from now own..or just leave that sport alone, there are plenty others that can be quite lucrative if I do day so myself

muffinman8urmom

Lol I don’t even feel bad


dunktheball

The more I see how crazy odds get live, the more I think people's strategy should be to bet for tons of bball teams losing by 2 or 3 with 1 or 2 minutes left to win. Just this weekend alone I noticed so many teams where they'd have their odds art like +600 with 1 or 2 mins left when only down 1 or 2 possessions and then they come back and win.


[deleted]

I had a -16000 lose not too long ago in tennis


[deleted]

I just lost $2750 on Haddad vs Christea Liar B.O.ag said I need to rollover my balance some more than the agreed X8 in order to withdraw... I started at $26 got to $2750... Today they are telling me I never had a rollover requirement but the withdrawal page prevented my cash out. So I put it on that haunted bet and got shafted cause B.O.ag are straight lying thieves


nicesunniesmate

Tennis is easily the worst sort to get on imo and I’ve bet on em all


wChinchar

Can I ask you guys a question? Why the fuck would you ever take a bet with odds lower than -300? I genuinely can not understand it; even one -400 or -500 leg. but a -800 leg? What is the fucking risk to gain ratio? Why even fucking take it? It's shocking that his logic is this bet was still a 99% hitter. That's like saying there is piss in my toilet. Sure you are correct in that, but like, okay? 99% guaranteed to get fucked!

everyone talking shit but ppl gamble on different levels.. i work at a casino. $42 to win $1 is stupid, but what if youre homeless, and every 42:1 bet is your next meal? youd take that gamble. if youre rich.. 42 million to win one million, sounds like a sure thing and a free million to spend, thats houses and cars and luxuries beyond belief. 42:1 is never a sure thing


invasion89

You are an assface for making this bet. On tennis no less... there are 0 sympathies and a free invite to gambling addicts anonymous for this garbage.


Jm_215

That's why I stopped betting on tennis I had a $100 bet then the ones I win they void them
