Early First-Half Bet on World Cup Opener Produces Seven-Figure Crypto Win
After a long wait for the FIFA World Cup, a Shuffle user didn’t take long to get involved once the action began, jumping straight in as the tournament kicked off.
They went straight into a first-half market, targeting a result within 45 minutes of kickoff. Half a million dollars was on the line, with the chance of a seven-figure payout in the opening moments of a 39-day tournament.
The bet was on Mexico to win the first half against South Africa at the Azteca Stadium. Only the punter knows whether Quinones’ 9th-minute opener made things more or less nerve-racking, but Mexico controlled the match well and went into half-time a goal ahead.
By the break, someone on the Shuffle platform had already landed a $1,013,378.92 win in Ethereum.
