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.
I think everyone gambling site has there deposit and withdrawal limit. If I may ask when the person was depositing such amount of money, Government didn't say anything or may be they don't know about it so why will they carry the news up and down if I was the man I will take the platform to court. Well to cut the whole thing short every individual has something that drives them and they also know their capacity and again some people like taking risk. Before he used such money to gamble it means he is capable of... And I am sure his net worth is something that will be too big to talk about.
