A bettor from Down Under experienced a dreadful day, dropping a hefty $160,000 AUD (approximately $106,000 USD!) when Argentina was stunned by Saudi Arabia in the World Cup. He had put down a significant wager on Argentina, believing they were a guaranteed victory against the squad from the Middle East.
The bettor, wishing to stay nameless (unsurprisingly!), had his sights set on a tidy $20,800 AUD return. After all, Argentina was a top contender and even netted an early goal. It appeared to be a sealed deal at the midway point!
However, Saudi Arabia, positioned 50th globally, had a different outcome in mind. They returned with remarkable vigor in the latter half, securing two goals and leaving everyone astonished. It seemed as though even fate was in their favor on that day!
Even with their amazing skills, Messi and his squad were completely shut down by Saudi Arabia’s unyielding back line. This unexpected defeat left a bettor from Australia who wagered $160,000 Australian dollars stunned, alongside numerous other supporters and the whole Argentinian side.
Ultimately, it mirrored the famous Kenny Rogers lyrics: You’ve got to know when to hold them, know when to walk away.
