By betting just 10 cents on an improbable double podium for French drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly at the Brazilian Grand Prix, a Gard firefighter has just hit the jackpot. This daring bet brought him a breathtaking sum, well beyond his expectations!
Some punters bet big to win small sums, but Christopher, a Gard firefighter, did quite the opposite! With just 10 cents invested on a daring bet during the Brazilian Grand Prix, he managed to win the tidy sum of 16,000 euros! This masterstroke is based on an intuition: betting on the podium of the two Frenchmen from Alpine, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, a scenario nevertheless considered improbable.
“I didn’t believe it at all at first”
Against all expectations, Ocon and Gasly took 2nd and 3rd places, defying all predictions. Thanks to this spectacular result, the bettor reached a record odds of 160,000.
“I didn't believe it at all at first, it was really a little bet for fun,” the firefighter told our colleagues at RMC Sport. “I'm a fairly introverted person, so I didn't shout or jump. I stayed pretty calm, it was internal, but I'm super happy. It's crazy odds, there's the money yes, but also the performance of the French, for me as a fan, it's incredible. I will have to frame this podium with my bet,” he adds. A stroke of luck, no doubt, but above all the sharp intuition of a true F1 enthusiast!
