Shock Spain-Cabo Verde draw leads to million-dolla

#World Cup Predictions: 100,000 USDT Daily #BTC Prophet: 20-Day 380 Million HTX Challenge #HTXCommunity4thAnniversary Shock Spain-Cabo Verde draw leads to million-dollar losses on PolymarketIn the most shocking result of the 2026 FIFA World Cup so far, Cabo Verde held reigning European Champions Spain to a goalless draw on Monday. The unexpected result has led to vast sums of money being lost on prediction market/de-facto sports betting platform Polymarket. Indeed, the market’s biggest loser, a Polymarket veteran, lost $1.6 million banking on a Spain victory. Insane. After grinding with +1k predictions on Polymarket this wallet was up 34k. Today he lost 1.6M on a single trade because Spain wasn't able to win against Cabo Verde pic.twitter.com/hURJczBRnc — dethective (@dethective) June 15, 2026 An hour before kickoff, the Polymarket Sports X account highlighted another million-dollar bettor, who stood to win just $87,000 on a $1 million dollar wager that Spain would win. The account turned out to be the second biggest loser, followed by another mammoth $720,000 lossThe three biggest losers banking on a Spanish victory lost a total of over $3 million between them. On the other side of the coin, one freshly-created account hit the jackpot. The account, named “fishalive,” placed two bets, against Spain winning and the match’s spread, netting over $8.5 million in total. However, with such large sums placed on such low odds, these bets are likely hedging exposure elsewhere, via another profile or on another platform. In all, Monday’s match in Atlanta saw a total of $64 million worth of Polymarket positions traded, just over half of which was placed on the overall ‘moneyline’ result. As the game kicked off, the market put Spain’s odds of winning at 90%, and a draw at 7%
