Stunning results in the World Championship are particularly painful not only for the fans of national teams but also for betting enthusiasts.

Yahoo Sports reported that a member of the prediction platform Polymarket lost nearly 1 million USD.

The unfortunate bettor trusted the nearly guaranteed win of Spain against the modest team from Cape Verde.

If successful, he would have earned just 86,000 USD.

The Group H match ended in a scoreless draw at 0:0, and now the chances of the Spaniards finishing first among the four teams have dropped to a mere 73% probability.
