Are there any documented cases of an individual making over a million dollars using the Paroli system in sports betting?
>>
no, because it doesn't work you illiterate twat.

Nah

I'm sure SOMEONE has achieved this, somewhere

"The Paroli strategy rests on the premise that wins and losses tend to come in streaks".
Yeah, except this isn't true.

You would need odds in your favor for it to work. At even odds, it's a zero sum game.

Doesn't mean it can't happen.

If you bet 10p every time you lost, but doubled your bet every time you won, if you win 25 times in a row you'd make $1.6 million. Now is this likely? Obviously fucking not, and also you'd probably be limited before you got that far. But I'd be interested to see if anyone has actually managed it, because it's a pathetically easy way to make a fuckload of money.

yeah but my point is you better expect to get hit by lightning and live your life that way than to play the system in sports betting and make it big.

You mean, like the lottery?
That's even easier, you just need to walk down the street and buy a ticket.
>>
>>1357579
But its still just gambling. Some people who gamble win, most don't.

Winning 25 times in a row even at 50/50 odds translates to a 1 in 33.5 million shot.

33.5 times 10p = £3.35 million in cost on average to win £1.6 million.

Unless you knew exactly when a win streak was going to come to an end and were able to cash out you would lose overall.
