A new account on Polymarket profited $9 million from a $4 million bet against Spain after their unexpected draw with Cabo Verde in the World Cup. The match ended in a goalless tie, surprising many bettors.
The account, named 'fishalive', made two bets against Spain, wagering that they would not win and that Cabo Verde would stay within 2.5 goals.

Cabo Verde, making its World Cup debut, held the favored Spain to a draw, with their goalkeeper Vozinha named player of the match.
