overbetting

Overbetting means wagering more than is strategically wise or financially prudent.

In poker, an overbet is a bet larger than the pot—sometimes a bluff, sometimes a value play.

More broadly, overbetting describes risking too much on uncertain outcomes: He's been overbetting on tech stocks.
