It was a thrilling 2018 World Cup that punters witnessed and for one punter in particularly, who had decided to stay anonymous, it was better than most. The winner of the BetVictor World Cup Million Pound competition walked away with the full pot after landing the largest winning bet with the biggest odds in the competition.
The competition was open to wagers placed on all World cup 2018 markets and of course punters got creative with the BetVictor #PriceItUp builder. That feature allows punters to pick and choose options that could crop up in a match such as the number of corners, the number of shots and winning scores.
The winner of the competition did so with a stunning 17,042/1 odds success from the round of sixteen match between Uruguay and Portugal. The punter managed to not only get the correct score but called the exact number of corners in the match for each side and the number of bookings that the South Americans were going to get.
The Winning Bet Read:
Uruguay to win 2-1
Uruguay Over 1.5 corners
Uruguay Under 2.5 corners
Portugal Over 9.5 corners
Portugal Under 10.5 corners
Uruguay Under 0.5 cards
Eoin Ryan, Head of Product at BetVictor, said: “Paying £1,000,000 to a single BetVictor customer is the perfect conclusion to what has been an incredibly exciting and successful Million Pound Bet campaign. We wanted to bring excitement and thrills to our customers’ World Cup betting experience, encouraging them to make their best bet, and the Million Pound Bet certainly delivered that. We saw consistent buzz across social media and customers enjoyed the transparency afforded by our real-time leaderboards.”
Ryan added: “Our #PriceItUp Builder continues to have great momentum and we’re certainly looking to build on its success ahead to the start of the new Premier League season and other major sporting events going forward. The concept of #BestBetWins is one that we’re interested in developing further as the football season returns later this summer.”
This is the second time that BetVictor have paid £1m to a single customer, following its Million Pound Goal campaign for the final of Euro 2016 between Portugal and France.
