Say a random spring day that had nba, mlb, and horse racing.

Some sort of crazy horse racing bet? A 20 way parlay?

Find someone to take a $200 million bet from me (which I could not hand up front) and bet the winning pony.

It's all about that multiplier. A superfecta from the derby paid several hundred thousand to one not that long ago. Find something crazy like that and BOOM. bet it at multiple places and get a good lawyer.

Eta: the 05 derby superfecta paid $864,000+ on a $1 bet. Could quickly turn a billion on a bet like that.

I don't think you'd need a lawyer... it's not unheard of for a crazy person to get extremely lucky.

Make just enough bets to not get drug in a back room and have your knees popped with a DeMarini.

That's not how it works. It wouldn't be possible, because your large bet would change the odds. A billion dollars couldn't be paid out, because there wouldn't be a billion in the superfecta pool.

At some point the butterfly effect kicks in and you are screwed.

Well whats the budget that we would have to start with? That would determine a lot.

True. There are limits I assume. But several similar bets could add up.

24 hours


Start at the house and place several online bets that will pay out by the time your plane lands in Vegas, get a private charter.

Land in Vegas, transfer online funds made during transit to bank account with access.

Work way from casino to casino making small medium bets building cash base slowly and losing a few along the way. Only one or 2 long shots and none with large individual payouts Drawing zero attention to yourself.

Take nice cash sum and get on private charter to large Bahamas casino. In route pick several large but fairly simple and not too complex wagers, hit several or even 2 real long shots and they will sniff you out. Slow and easy, multiply your money.

Take private charter to Asia to large casino, repeat process.


Fly to Mediterranean and celebrate.

Well, the world becomes BTTF 2 Hilldale.

Let's say you start with $10,000.

The limiting factor would be collecting on your early bets in order to re-bet the winnings.

They have live betting now where you can bet on upcoming plays. I would hit up those along with inning bets in baseball since there is probably day games and get as much as possible before the night games. I would do a max parlay of all the night games using money lines for the dogs that won and also use alternate run lines for the parlay in baseball cause those are ridiculous pay outs.
