Longshot (Gambling term)

In gambling, a “longshot” is a term that is used to refer to an unlikely winner. This can be a bet that is considered to be a risk, or it can be a player or team that is not expected to win a particular event. For example, if a team is a heavy underdog in a game and is not expected to win, they might be called a longshot. Longshots are often associated with high odds, as bettors who bet on longshots are taking a risk in the hope of a potentially large payout. However, the likelihood of a longshot winning is usually low, so bettors should carefully consider the odds before placing a bet on a longshot.
