The theory of the wrong number or a keying mistake is not impossible, but bear in mind that we are talking about such a large figure that the first "problem" is that he had that into the account and the "second problem" is that the site or place did not asked the guy something like "are you sure dude?" Even without an extra "zero" in the wrong place, it would still be 114.000
For the "first problem", it looks like he deposited big money into his account because otherwise, how could he place a bet with big money? And as for the "second problem," we don't know if he's deliberately placing a big money bet or missed a "zero" in the wrong place. And we can only assume that it was his fault that he did not check the bet amount and immediately placed it. But the flip side is that we also assume he deliberately placed those big bets hoping to win a lot of money. And whatever it is, we can learn a lot from him by always checking the bet amount so that we don't experience big losses if we lose.
