This thread is inspired by the
thread created by sportsbet.io about a lucky bettor who won $42 million on a $50 spin.
So let's discuss. This kind of win can be compelete considered based on luck, and the winner is so lucky that he hit the Jackpot. However, since the goal here is $42 million and you can only win that if you would bet $50 for one spin. So, do you have the courage to do that?
If I have the capacity to bet $50 a thousand times in one sitting then why not? $42m as a possible winnings is a huge amount compared to $50. And aside from the jackpot price, the game also offers small amount to huge amounts of wins, so the $50 wager also has a chance to get some extras if we are lucky. This is no difference in betting at minimum wagering amount. So I say if I have the budget I will surely bet that kind of amount.
Don't really care for lotteries all that much. I'm not much of a long shot type gambler though. I like games like roulette, blackjack, poker etc where you can sway the odds or at least be a part of the decision making process that will result in an outcome. Good for them but one in a trillion odds aren't for me.
I think the game involved in this $42 million jackpot price is a slot game that has the bonus feature of spinning a wheel for a chance to win a certain level of jackpot. When it comes to the lottery I also think that the game is not for me due to the same reason.
