    Possibly the dumbest gambler EVER. 8500/100, Joker to win, OUCH

    David PurdumESPN Staff Writer


    A bettor at William Hill's Nevada sportsbook risked $8,500 on Novak Djokovic at -8,500 odds to beat underdog Denis Istomin at the Australian Open. The bet would have netted $100. Djokovic lost in five sets. The sportsbook took no bets on Istomin to win.


    Risking $8500 just so he can have a nice steak, couple scotches and a cigar???

    Some of these stories that revolve around sports wagering I question. Seeing and hearing more about these stories from writers lately. Could be FAKE NEWS. We don't know.

    Seems like reporters nowadays aren't even researching anything... they are just lying about every story.

    Yes, William Hill claimed someone lost 100K to win 1K when Federer was playing against Stakhovsky at Wimbledon (2013).

    I do think WH are trying to get free advertising by doing so.

    Remember when Leicester were about to win the PL? You could hear stories about bookmakers losing money (lololol),yeah more like they wanted free advertising by claiming they were losing money.

    Also, to get back on topic, with the millions of bettors around the world, I am sure he was not the only guy betting on Djokovic at 1.01 (or 1.02 whatever), I am sure some others lost more than 8500 (8500 is not that big of a loss), some punters bet more than that.
    Pinnacle who has the highest limits probably accepted many bets of over 8500 on Djokovic, there are many noobs betting like this on tennis.

    I wonder how retarded you should be to bet 1.01 on djoko
    He never beats 100 guys in a row. He is human being and multi milionare
    Guys around 100 are hungry to get some money to get some food and pay for the coach and plane tickets=huge motivation. Not sure about djoko motivation...
    It should be 1.08-1.1
