Punter Wins Ridiculous Bet on Spain vs France After Just 20 Minutes
Euro 2024 has been full of surprises, and the latest one came in the form of a punter who won a ridiculous bet on Spain vs France. The bet was won in the opening stages of the match, and it’s a story that will leave you speechless.
Spain came from behind to beat France 2-1, booking their spot in the final of Euro 2024. The French took the lead when Randal Kolo Muani headed home Kylian Mbappe’s cross in the ninth minute. But 12 minutes later, Lamine Yamal levelled proceedings with a stunning long-range strike.
The game was far from over, and Dani Olmo scored the winner for Spain. But for one punter, the real winner was himself. He had placed a £2.50 free bet, which resulted in an impressive £687.50 payout. It took just 21 minutes for the bet to come in, making it a truly ridiculous win.
The punter’s bet was on both teams to score in the first half, which is a relatively common bet. But the odds were against him, making his win all the more impressive. It’s a reminder that even the most unlikely bets can pay off, and that Euro 2024 has been full of surprises.
Spain will now face either England or the Netherlands in the final of Euro 2024. Speaking after the match, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said: "We are very happy, the happiness was already great to get here but now it is much greater. I feel a lot of pride for these players, they are exceptional, they know how to play and read the games in an extraordinary way."
He also praised his team’s ability to come from behind and win the match. "We have returned Spanish football to where it belongs. We have to value what these players are doing. We want to continue making history, we don’t want to relax, we have to stay focused to face the final in Berlin."
The final of Euro 2024 is shaping up to be a thrilling match, and we can’t wait to see who will come out on top. Will it be Spain, England, or the Netherlands? Only time will tell.
