I’d bet it
Alright it was ME, Sheesh!, now can we let it rest...you’re gonna jinx me!!!
93%?!?! The bookies stand to take a shellacing.
5 million resulting in a 15 million payout is the equivalent of betting $5 on a 2-1 horse at the track: 2 to 1 pays $4 plus the $2 bet is added in, so $5 = 6 x 2.50= $15=== but betting 5 MILLION on a horse would not be allowed, because it would create a huge negative pool and would result even it was allowed in the minimum payout of 20 cents on every $2 , a 10 % profit-—$5million would get you $550,000.00-—so don’t do it.
Correction-—though it hardly ever happens even with the heaviest of faves, sometimes the track will only give out 10 cents in $2 win. REALLY not worth it
Things that make you go hmmm....
