@Barnstorm It’s called Lying. I don’t think anyone betting over $10k a game is on covers, especially a forum. Fraudulent lies.
I posted an $8000 ticket .. when someone asked
I may have made 20 bets over $3000 this year and about 2000 bets around $50..
In the early 90's i was laying off other peoples money at an offshore book- so much that they invited me down there for a week..They whined me and dined me and showed me thier entire operation. I watched the bets come in and it was like $5, $12, $7, $3.50, $20, $4, $5, $10, $1 and it went on like that for a half hour with a few 50's and hundreds sprinkled in there...
I think its pretty much the same here

A martingale is any of a class of betting strategies that originated from and were popular in 18th-century France. The simplest of these strategies was designed for a game in which the gambler wins the stake if a coin comes up heads and loses it if the coin comes up tails. The strategy had the gambler double the bet after every loss, so that the first win would recover all previous losses plus win a profit equal to the original stake. The martingale strategy has been applied to roulette as well, as the probability of hitting either red or black is close to 50%. Since a gambler with infinite wealth will, almost surely, eventually flip heads, the martingale betting strategy was seen as a sure thing by those who advocated it. None of the gamblers possessed infinite wealth, and the exponential growth of the bets would eventually bankrupt "unlucky" gamblers who chose to use the martingale. The gambler usually wins a small net reward, thus appearing to have a sound strategy. However, the gambler's expected value does indeed remain zero (or less than zero) because the small probability that the gambler will suffer a catastrophic loss exactly balances with the expected gain. In a casino, the expected value is negative, due to the house's edge. The likelihood of catastrophic loss may not even be very small. The bet size rises exponentially. This, combined with the fact that strings of consecutive losses actually occur more often than common intuition suggests, can bankrupt a gambler quickly.
The reason for this is simple. You can have incremental gains on numerous nights, even decent gains by hitting over 50% of wagers. One generally won't employ this strategy in reverse (with the theory that winning very game is uncommon) so its unlikely to have a exponential growth.
But the key is one terrible night will erase a bankroll. For this reason, no professional gambler or handicapper would employ this strategy.

Typical comment I have heard repeated on Covers for over 15 years...and as a typical and stereotypical comment will often be, it is patently false as I myself have made several wagers over $10k in the last 15 years and posted them on Covers...I know of many, many other people who factually did the same...
Why make such stupid blanket statements?....
Because you think you are right?....
Jeez...you are NOT right...
PM for the skinny on the down low

Sam please stop what your doing and listen to me son. Take the Denver Nuggets -6.5 for everything your down to get even today and then some. The Rockets will get blown out tonight playing in the mile high city after going OT at Portland on Saturday night. Denver is at full strength tonight with extra rest. Rockets will have the same 8 players available and Harden still can’t play a complete game b/c he is out of shape. Gordon our Wall out Cousins out just to mention a few. Harden is frustrated with the rookies having to teach them in game. This is as easy and big as it gets. Denver -6.5 is the play. Hammer it.
Ok Sam what I need for you to do is cash out put the money back into safe before the big boss man comes in from Kansas City

Don’t mean to say I’m right or wrong. Yet, why not just post units instead. I personally think it’s somewhat outlandish for some throwing $10k plus, yet start from $500. Huge difference. Like this way of betting is pressing very very hard. Very scary!

Who gives a shit what amount he wagers!! Everyone gets hot and cold. So much negative bullshit on his posts (probably Books). Tail or fade that simple.
