I have seen various topics discussed in here about their bankrolls or budget and whatnot when gambling. Well a
French national just wagered $30 million to a bet about the US election. Now the online platform is being reviewed by France and is being checked if they follow laws accordingly. I am sure that amount shocked them especially after the gambler admitted that it was not even to sponsor Trump and that he did not have any political agenda with that bet. He did win and made profit but I was just so surprised with how can anyone bet this huge amount of money?
No matter how rich I get, I do not think I would be risking throwing away $30 million. I am also sure that the French authorities are making moves after this ridiculous amount of money betted to prevent encouraging their citizens from following in the gambler's footsteps. But I think instead of punishing the platform, the government should focus on how can they 'control' their citizens' gambling habits. Focusing on one platform will not eradicate people who would continue to bet this huge amount of money.
Honestly, this was really a huge sum of money this gambler played with, which shows that he may have this money in excess for him to have been able to afford to gamble a whooping $30million on a single bet, predicting who is likely to win the just concluded US Presidential Election, and I'm happy he actually won his bet, as I'm sure these are the kinds of people casino usually limit their earning potential, due to their high risk ability to risk everything. Because though we have seen celebrities, in the likes of Drake wager a million dollar. This is indeed the highest wagered amount I have come across.
