    If this is true, the bettor was no real gambler just a dabbler with too much money to spend

    @Ppkay

     I am not so sure on if this happened or not... But a bunch of folks here seem to think its bullshit.

     

    But in fact, compulsive bettors sometimes get into a situation where they have to back their mouth up and shove a stupid bet just to prove a point.

    I have seen it numerous times in the sportsbooks where a bunch of know-it-alls throw it down. Hundreds of thousands I've seen at times...

    It is dumb to think that in all of this country, there isn't a fool out there doing something not thought out...

    @TalkMillions

     

     It was 100% a dumb bet whether he won or not.  As I said if his IQ was slightly higher he would see he could get a risk-free 5% on his money in crypto.  Meanwhile, you think betting on a 0.008% return on your money on something that isn't in any way risk-free is smart? Wow.  Even T-Bills offer more and are essentially risk-free.  Zero excuses for making that wager even if he won his measly $11k.

    That is the dumbest “investment” to make $11K. 

    1.4M at 1% is $14,000. A monkey throwing darts at balloons with stocks would do better.
