The Winamax online Paris site has announced that one of its bettors had broken the French winning record in the history of sports betting. For a bet of 50 euros, a Haut-Savoyard betting pocketed the tidy sum of 1,047,171.96 euros.
What is the common point between the Albanian striker Myrto Uzuni, the Botswana national football team and the Polish volleyball club of Warta Zawiercia? None until this Wednesday, but here they are now linked by a single record: that of the biggest gain in the history of sports betting in France.
The Winamax online Paris site has indeed announced that one of its customers had pocketed the record sum of 1,047,171.96 euros by validating a combined bet of 29 games, spread out between March 24 and April 10, 2025. With an initial bet of 50 euros, this daring bettor, named Simon, therefore became a millionaire at the final whistle of the match Betis Seville-Jagullonia Białystok (2-0) in the quarter-final first leg of the conference league.
In detail, the dimensions of 29 Paris were all between 1.10 and 1.80, except two of them fixed at 2.50. It was therefore these two a little more risky bets (the victory of Middlesbrough against Oxford United in Championship as well as the goal of the Albanian international Myrto Uzuni against Andorra) that boosted this incredible combined bet.
This long ticket as an arm was obviously not built in one go: the crazy bettor added matches as the favorable results fell, until you touch the 28/28 finger while PSG and Barça spun towards their victory in their quarters of the Champions League. Noting that he was going to receive around 700,000 euros, Simon made the foolish (but paying) choice to try the million bar by adding a 29th and last bet on the Betis match. Record broken.
“I had inquired about the winning records. Beating that of France was my goal. So I held to the end,” said the lucky winner in Winamax.
The winner's Baraka
However, by taking up the story in reverse, his adventure could have stopped several times. He trembled until the 86th minute to see Tunisia take control of his match against Malawi (2-0), and even to the 90th+6 of Montenegro-Féroé to see the Balkan players score the one and only goal of the game (1-0).
Worse still: the championship match between the Chinese teams of Meizhou Hakka and Shandong Taishan will undoubtedly have him buried the heart attack. While he had bet on a victory of the visiting team or a draw, she found himself led 3-0 in the 34th minute. But you have to believe that fate had decided to make him a millionaire: at the end of the match, it was Shandong who won 4-3 thanks to two goals scored in the 88th and 90th+9. To believe that everything was written.
