Bettor snatches victory from the jaws of defeat as Portugal substitute hits a 92nd-minute winner.
Late Winner Secures Huge $938,110.75 Payout
I can only say that this Stake.com customer must have nerves of steel. The bet amount was a staggering $586,319.22 on Portugal winning (1x2 market) its opening match against the Czech Republic. (If you are new to Stake use the Stake code NEWBONUS for $3000 free)
After a goalless first half, the Czech Republic broke the deadlock when Lukas Provod scored with 62 minutes on the clock. However, Robin Hranac's own goal seven minutes later leveled the scores.
At this point, the Stake customer could have cashed out. Although I am not certain, I believe the cash-out amount would have been around $150,000. A heavy loss but better than nothing.
As the clock ticked away, with the cash-out value decreasing, Portugal kept coming forward. With a few minutes remaining, Ronaldo hit the post with a header and Diego Jota was there to nod in the rebound. However, a quick check showed Ronaldo was offside.
The match went into additional time, which is usually when the cash-out option is removed. It was looking like a draw until super-sub Francisco Conceicao grabbed the dramatic late winner. Portugal won 2 - 1, and $938,110.75 was credited to this bettor’s account.
Injury Time Bonus - Euro 24 Promos
Stake has two betting promotions specifically for Euro 2024. One is Early Goal, You Win and the other is Injury Time Bonus (Double Winnings).
The Injury Time Bonus pays out double winnings on bets if the country you backed scores a match-winning goal in second-half injury time (additional time) as Portugal did.
This bettor collected that bonus. However, the maximum payout on double winnings is $100, so he probably didn’t notice this little boost considering he collected $938K.
