I knew a professional gambler in college before he had to go to rehab for big debts to the mob, he was all over the track. He said it was mathematically best odds, 90% of your money back, most lotteries are like...0.001%. Sports betting in general is like 80%.

Eventually, you'll lose so many in a row that you hit the table maximum bet and can't double it to recoup your last loss.
