If you were told the outcome of a soccer match, hours before the match was scheduled, and you were assured that it would 100% win, how much would you be willing to bet on it? Assuming it was a 100% can’t lose situation.

Assuming you had millions of dollars that you could put on the match, where would you place the bets? Bookies often limit players. How could one successfully place millions of dollars in bets without drawing up suspicions or having their money frozen? Just curious.

I would personally not play that bet because that's just impossible.

You cannot know with 100% certainty that a specific outcome will happen. That's the whole point of gambling. The more probable something is, the less money it pays if it happens. So, if it's 100% known it will happen, then it should pay 0.

If someone presented me that scenario I would most definitely pass on that. Even if it was true, then the most logical scenario would be that that person would be the one betting, and they would not be sharing it with anyone else.

You can't be that naive. Of course, it's possible to place that large bets but depends on sports, league, market, etc.
And most definitely it's possible to know 100% the result of the match, fixed games are played more than you think.
