I believe that some of you here who are sport bettors must have experience of what I mean.
During a live match, we can tell that the odds of the game usually change continually depending on the bookmaker you are using.
Yesterday, I placed a bet, it was a parlay with 8 legs but I lost the bet because I predicted Bologna 1909 to win. Before the game started, Lecce had 5.00 odd while Bologna 1909 had 1.9 odd but after the first half time of the match, the odd of lecce have increased to 30.00 and it kept increasing, just few minutes to the end of the game, the odd was now 50.00
This is nothing new for so many of us because it happens continuously. Can anyone or have any of you here took such risk to place a bet on a single game with odd ranging from 10.00 - 50.00?
If you took such risk before, did you win?
This kind of increase in odd in partially risky too for the bookies because someone could actually take the risk and end up to win the bet because the team that was expected not to win the match, can luckily score a goal during penalty or could just win in the last minute.

There are plenty of singe game selections out there with odds of 50x and higher, it's not really that hard to find them. When you have major clubs playing smaller ones in certain leagues, you'll find plenty of such odds in horse racing, then you can go into things like a certain player to score or get a penalty, all of these allow you to put those sort of odds down. However it's usually quite a big waste of money because upsets are so rare, but it's not unheard of for bookmakers to get it wrong. Just look at the recent Liverpool vs Plymouth game that happened yesterday, it was almost unthinkable for Liverpool to lose and the odds would have been much higher than most games when you consider they are very bottom of the Championship and Liverpool are top of the Premier League.
