    swanpath replied to the topic Do odds really matter that much when you're betting small? in the forum General Leica Discussion 1 month, 1 week ago

    So I was tossing a few bucks on some late-night games the other day, nothing serious. Ended up hitting a 12.00 odds bet by pure accident — didn’t even check the odds properly. Got me thinking: do odds really matter that much when you're betting small? Or is it just for fun at that point?

    Yo, anyone got a wild betting story? What’s the riskiest bet you’ve actually won? I once bet $10 on a random tennis match—didn’t even know the players! It was a long shot, but I won $80 when the underdog pulled through. Felt like a movie moment. What’s your craziest win?
