Betting is by nature a dangerous game. There have to be more losers than winners, or else the whole system would fall apart. But everyone seems to think that they're going to be the winner, so many try. And sure, there are ways to bet smartly in sports betting, but ultimately you're relying on a team that you have literally nothing to do with. You just hope you made the right predictions.

All to say it's a vulnerable place to put your money. It's not like a government bond. So it follows that the only money that should be invested in sports betting should be from the better themselves. It's their call, so they should assume all of the risk. But that's not what one man was proposing when he started combing through his social network in order to grow his capital. Read on to see what you would have done in this situation.
