UFC superstar, Conor McGregor, scored big with a €1 million win as Spain triumphed over England 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final.
Mikel Oyarzabal was the hero for Spain, netting a decisive goal in the 86th minute, leaving Gareth Southgate’s team to face another European final disappointment.
McGregor’s involvement in the Euro 2024 final extended beyond just being a spectator.
The MMA star had placed a substantial bet on Spain before the tournament even began. In mid-June, McGregor wagered €83,500 on Spain to win the European Championship.
The odds were boosted to 11/1, setting him up for a significant payday if his prediction came true.
McGregor, however, was the night’s biggest winner, as his substantial bet paid off handsomely.
After Spain’s victory, McGregor celebrated his win on social media. Posting a picture of his winning bet slip, he wrote, “Vamos Spain! Easy money on the Spaniards to win the Euros on my birthday. A nice mill for the Mac!”
This triumph showcases McGregor’s knack for profiting from his sports knowledge and instincts.
Earlier in the day, McGregor expressed admiration for Donald Trump following an unsuccessful assassination attempt on the former American President.
According to the Irish Mirror, the shocking incident has been widely shared on social media, with numerous world leaders calling it a “tragedy” for democracy.
McGregor commented on X, “A 78 year old multiple billionaire he should be on a yacht on the Med [Mediterranean] touring golf courses.
“But he is not. He is in Pennsylvania spitting out bullets! Running for the love of his country! God speed Donald! God bless the United States [prayer and heart emojis]”.
