Cape Verde promised a payout of just over US$1000 for every US$100 bet should they upset mighty Argentina
In their first match of the World Cup, just 3% of the bets were on Cape Verde to win against Spain and a small number of bets were on the draw with the tiny island nation shocking with a 0-0 draw that must have felt like a 3-0 win for Cape Verde fans
Only 13% of the betting public was backing the draw, with Argentina and Cape Verde ending regulation at 1-1 and the payout US$755 for every US$100 bet
Where we happen to be located in South Florida, it is sacrilege to suggest Argentina can lose a World Cup match, let alone to tiny Cape Verde.
But here we are.
Argentina is among the favorites to win it all but Cape Verde is this World Cup's Cinderella story.
Argentina was a huge -1800 favorite vs. Cape Verde, meaning a payout of US$1000 and some chance should Cape Verde shock here.
Only 13% of the betting public was backing the draw, with Argentina and Cape Verde ending regulation at 1-1 and the payout US$755 for every US$100 bet.
Argentina won Group J with a perfect record. Group-stage results: Argentina 3-0 Algeria, Argentina 2-0 Austria, Argentina 3-1 Jordan. Lionel Messi has been the dominant story: 6 goals in the group stage — a hat trick vs. Algeria, two vs. Austria, and one vs. Jordan. Argentina has scored 8 goals total, with Messi accounting for six of them.
Kevin Pina scored from a free kick against Uruguay while Hélio Varela scored the equalizer in that match for Cape Verde.
In their first match of the World Cup, just 3% of the bets were on Cape Verde to win against Spain. Around 5% had the draw, with the final score registering at 0-0.
87% of all gamblers lost here and the sportsbooks were certainly celebrating.
