[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband bet $20,000 on Ohio State to beat Penn State. It will pay out $21,300. [/quote]

It will pay out $1,300 after you take out your $20,000[/quote]

I understand that. People wonder how my husband makes thousands a week.[/quote]Nobody I know would ever bet this way. Risking 20 k to win 1300.  Nobody bets or wins like that because one upset and he’s down 20 k and would never 2 months of winning straight to get money back. I’m a gambler and nobody bets like this. [/quote]

The people you know lose, like most people chasing underdogs and parlays. There won’t be an upset in this case. There are several sporting events every week that are 99.9% locks. This person’s husband appears to bet the moneyline on massive favorites. Betting the moneyline avoids bet caps because the payout is comparatively low. Betting large amounts on games like this can easily pay out a few thousand dollars. After a successful month a bettor like this [b]should[/b] have a healthy bank that would mitigate an inevitable upset, but they’d be losing house money. I wish I had the cash necessary to follow this model. The apps can’t influence the win, only what it pays out.[/quote]
