Big Bets Report: France Futures Impacting Both Miniscule, Major Wagers

Big Bets Report: France Futures Impacting Both Miniscule, Major Wagers centers on the settlement of World Cup futures wagers involving the Final Four—France, Spain, England, and Argentina. With the tournament’s latest four-and-a-half weeks bringing outcomes closer to the semifinals, many tickets have already lost, including bets on the USA, according to the report. One high-stakes wager placed before the June 11 start saw a DraftKings customer risk $250,000 on France at +400; with France now +150 among the semifinalists, the expected result could deliver a $1 million profit for a $1.25 million payout. France plays Spain at 3 p.m. ET Tuesday on FOX, with England or Argentina awaiting. Another futures parlay from Hard Rock Bet bundled Knicks +1600 and France +500 for $2,700, with the NBA component already paid out. BetMGM action included a $50,000 England +700 bet and a $35,000 Argentina +800 bet.
