UFC champion and ambassador for the global betting brand 1xBet, Conor McGregor, placed a $100,000 bet on the year’s most anticipated football match.
In just a few hours, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford will host the World Championship final, where the defending champions Argentina will look to retain their title against Europe’s strongest team, Spain.
The whole world will be watching, and Conor McGregor has added even more intrigue by betting $100,000 on Argentina to win 3-2. The Irish fighter made history as the first athlete in UFC to hold titles in two weight classes simultaneously, meaning he has extensive experience with major victories. So, if successful, his bet will be settled at odds of 36, turning into a massive $3,600,000!
La Albiceleste are ready to fight for their country, placing their faith in the genius of Lionel Messi, who sparked several incredible comebacks for his national team throughout the tournament. At 39, he is among the leading scorers and has every chance of claiming his ninth Ballon d’Or.
Predicting a goal fest in a match where every single mistake could be fatal is a bold decision. However, both Spain and Argentina have already proven their exceptional quality. La Roja swept aside their opponents, conceding just one goal, while relentless Argentina became the masters of late-game drama, turning around matches that seemed to be lost.
