I know you've thought about it many times, and trust me, we've all done it by betting everything we have on a "sure" odd. And likewise, I know this is the worst mistake.
The next story is based on real events, the author is one of the top managers of the company who shared his testimony with us.
"I started betting like any other sports fan, mainly soccer, without knowing that thanks to this I would expand my world to sports like basketball or tennis, that I hardly knew players like LeBron James or Rafael Nadal, obviously the most famous." tells us. "...once I saw a doubling bonus in a bookmaker other than the one I was in, I was curious and entered with an amount that for me at that time was high, exactly 100,000 COP so that the bookmaker would give me a bonus with the same value, after a month I released it and I was earning triple my initial investment. This is where one of my mistakes begins that I remember the most but that taught me the most in betting "
After a bit of laughter and even embarrassment, he continues: "A virtue of a professional bettor is patience, I had spent approximately 2 weeks without raising or lowering my capital. It was there that in a basketball game, a team that was a favorite before starting the game I was losing at the end of the first half by more than 10 points. The bookmaker offered a 1.20 odd because I didn't lose by more than those 10 points, I was confident and knowing that I was a favorite I assumed it was a mistake and I was going take advantage of everything, which did not pay me more than 100,000 COP. At the end of the game the favorite was losing by 24 points and I, but with opportunities in the local tournament, for my part, I lost everything that the month had given me and half betting day and night."
