At casino, most of people bet long shots with 1 or 2 dollars, max is probably 10 dollars. You rarely see people bet $50 or $100 on 11 at craps or being dealt Royal Flush. Same thing in sportsbetting, people do take long shots with small amount of money. You see people in this forum bet $10 on parlays that pay 100:1 or 200:1
