Is McGregor's high-stakes betting a sign of confidence or sheer recklessness?

There are very few fighters in the UFC who can stay in the news like Conor McGregor does. The former dual-champion is on his road to recovery after breaking his toe before UFC 303. However, it seems the Dubliner is using this time to earn some reward. McGregor looks super excited about the final clash between Spain and England at Euro 2024.

‘Mystic Mac’ feels Spain will win the clash and has placed his bet on the team. But how much will he get back if he manages to win? Let us look at the details shared by the 35-year-old on his X account.

Conor McGregor is pretty active on his social media and keeps his fans updated regularly. This time, he took the opportunity to reveal the amount of cash he stands to earn soon. McGregor seems to be a huge fan of the Spanish team and feels they are gonna win the Euro title. Previously, he lost $60K after placing a bet on Cristiano Ronaldo for winning the Golden Boot at Euro 2024. But this time he even pointed out that Spain will be winning 3-1 during their match and has placed $100K on @Duelbits. The 35-year-old then shared how much he will be winning if his prediction turns out right. He began, “My bad guys, @Duelbits just hit me up!”

He further added, “They really have the best odds ever! The odds on that score coming in “3-1 Spain” isn’t 19/1 it is actually 25-1!!!. This means the return on my €100k will be €2.6m! Lovely jubbly €3.7m all in tomorrow for my birthday! THE RICH GET RICHER, BE EXCITED!”

MMA Orbit also took to their X account and confirmed that the Dubliner will win €3.7 million in total if Spain manages to beat England in the final. This comes out to $4.6 million. Pretty neat for the amount of investment that’s going into it.
