World Cup Bets Lead to Losses and Ronaldo's Tears

betting markets in this World Cup have experienced unprecedented activity, with global betting volumes expected to exceed $50 billion. This surge is driven by the expansion of teams to 48 and matches to 104, as well as the legal availability of betting for the first time in countries like the United States. Bets have ranged from predictions of match outcomes to specific events, such as predicting Cristiano Ronaldo’s tears—whose chances of appearing teary are estimated at 63-66%. This has led to significant fluctuations and some bettors suffering substantial losses, including a $1 million loss on Spain's victory and draw, as well as total losses of $5.83 million across various match result bets.
