Conor McGregor could earn £3.6 million from his bet on the Euro 2024 final. What is his choice?
Today, the final match of Euro 2024 will take place. Spain and England will face off at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
In anticipation of the match, many are making their predictions on the winner. Legendary UFC fighter Conor McGregor is no exception, having placed two separate bets.
Even before Euro 2024 began, McGregor announced that he had placed a "six-figure sum" on the winner. At that time, the Irishman predicted that Spain would lift the coveted cup for the fourth time in their history. Spain was not considered the main favorite then, with odds of 11/1 for their victory.
However, McGregor decided to complement his initial bet with a special wager as a birthday gift to himself, coinciding with the date of the Euro final. Today, he revealed that he placed an additional bet on Spain to win the final with a score of 3-1. He wagered £86,000 on this outcome, with odds of 25/1.
Thus, if Spain defeats England 3-1 today, Conor McGregor will receive a total of £3.2 million.
In his first bet before the tournament, McGregor wrote on his social media page, X:
"Vamos Spain! Easy money on the Spaniards to win the Euros on my birthday! A nice million for The Mac!"
It’s hard to argue with the Irishman, and such a win would indeed make an excellent birthday present.
