One bettor wasted a massive $1.4 million wager after betting on Los Angeles before the Jaguars mounted an epic comeback to beat the Chargers 31-30, according to Action Network’s Darren Rovell.

It seems that a gambler has loss this massive amount (1.4 million USD) playing a bet with an odds lower than 1.01! (exactly 1.008)

I think there are several lessons here:
- there is not easy bet! even lower odds there is always a risk.
- it's really risky playing an huge amount. This not helps gambler because the risk is much much higher then rewards!
- gambling is not easy at all! it's really hard achieve a profit even for easy games!

what your opinion about this gambling issue? did you had experience similar experience? how a good gambler should avoid such mistakes?

I don't know what I will call this , well but I'm pretty sure this not gambling for fun , and I can't tell if is money that he can actually afford to lose because to be frank that's actually a use amount of money. And I'm sure that the gambler will definitely regret it at the end , I will keep saying it gambling is not a means to get reach there's no guarantees that you are going to hit the jackpot quickly or hit it all , that's why we should be mindful on how we use our hard earn funds.
