That total amount in money is crazy. Of course the single bets of 3 millions or the others for 1 million is, dont fall behind. How many times have i wondered, me any many many others, how is it to bet that much. Being rich makes you losing the sense of numbers

when you have money you can bet such amounts but not always. Four bets with 1 million dollars or more and one bet with 3 million dollars in a year. This proves that the Americans do not bet big amounts although they have very many billionaires or with many hundreds of millions dollars. 0.7% of all wagers is a small profit for they. Betting Professionals Give Profit Over The Head.
Yes these numbers are huge, and remember that those are from offline bets in US one state only! I imagine how much money was staked on this event online and offline overall. They must be just crazy. I think it's good for our industry in general.
Always funny to me how they talk about 'the profit' as if that was not already part of the business model. But it is - it's called 'the vig'. You bet on either side, the bookies will live on the vig anway. No crocodile tears will be coming from me for their missing profit ever.

of course bookmakers will not do something that does not bring profit ....... and the word profit seems to me possible and not very correct but still correctly displays the process .... so it's just a game with words and do not have to change anything .. ... bookies are also people ... probably

When you consider that they are only talking about one state, the amount of money being wagered is astronomical. The worldwide figure must be off the scale and i added £5 to the amount!!

Betting keeps spreading i think all over the world. No matter what happens with the economy, there will always be people trying their luck for fast money. It can be seen here, with all the betting shops. Now you can even see coffee shops with betting

One day I'm going to be in an event like this and with certainty I'll bet I'll try to make a profit because this game is very good and I love football and I'm always going to tend to bet on games like that so I can have more adrenaline and win some money
as it seems to me at this match is not very large winnings at the rates .... commands of about the same strength and the win depends on many factors .... as it seems to me the rates should be about 1 to 2 .... of course it's nice to double your money but it is much more pleasant to win for example 1 to 5
