A bettor bets 20 cents and pockets 33,000 euros thanks to Pierre Gasly

AlfaTauri driver Pierre Gasly of France celebrates on the podium after winning the Formula One Grand Prix at the Monza racetrack in Monza, Italy, Sunday, Sept. 6, 2020. -

Last Sunday, Pierre Gasly won the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix, becoming the first Frenchman to win a race of this type since Olivier Panis, in 1996. And this victory, as beautiful as it was unexpected, made people happy as far as Finland.

A bettor had bet on the fact that Pierre Gasly would be on the podium alongside Lance Stroll and Carlos Sainz, which was the case.

Thus, with a stake of 20 euro cents, he pocketed no less than 33,398 euros, reports

A daring bet that paid off

This bettor had one chance out of 166.990 to win this win, the podium on which he bet was quite unusual.

Indeed, since 2012, no Formula 1 Grand Prix had ended without a Ferrari, a Mercedes or a Red Bull on the first three steps.

But Sunday in Italy, at the end of a mad race, none of these three teams was on the podium, to the delight of this bettor from the city of Tampere.

Finally, this bet was all the more daring as until this race, the three pilots on which this Finn bet counted between them only three podiums in their careers.
