And what that same guy who used to work at FanDuel, his name is Nick Bonadio, so I'm happy a lot of guys put their names behind these quotes, said...
Customers have this assumption that I'll bet that $10 bet to win 300.
And if I hit one of those bets, it's gonna pay for all my losers.
It doesn't work that way.
The odds are so bad for those bets over time.
It's why it's so profitable.
He said, and I remember this quote, he said, not to be condescending, but I think maybe 5% of customers understand that, understand that the odds are actually so bad that these are sucker bets essentially.

And that was very profitable, allegedly, for him and his partner in that.
Again, it also relates to parlays because when you can stack those sorts of bets together, you can make hundreds of thousands of dollars on the most obscure bets.
John T. Porter, the most obscure player we could think of in the NBA, a two-way bench player on the Toronto Raptors, was arrested and ultimately convicted for removing himself from a couple of games, pretending he had an injury.
