This World Cup in Qatar was spectacular! Besides the crazy final match, we’ve seen a lot of surprises: Morocco in the semis, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia wins over the future finalists, the main favorite defeated by Croatia in the quarterfinal, and many more. No one has won all three group-stage games, which shows this tournament’s unpredictability.

But nevertheless, many Coinplay users managed to earn crypto during the World Cup. Let’s take a look at the overall statistics and the craziest bets made with Coinplay crypto betting platform.

Who guessed the champion?

Before the start of the World Cup Brazil was the main favorite with the odds of 5. No surprise that most of the users believed in them, but Argentina took a solid second place with 17% of winners among such bets. Here are the pre-tournament odds and percentages:

1. Brazil 5 21% of bets

2. Argentina 7.2 17%

3. France 6.55 10%

4. Spain 9.1 7%

5. England 7.6 5%

6. Portugal 13 5%

7. Germany 10 4%

…

      32. Wales 151 0.01%

Usually, these risky bets are not so high with an average amount of 12.3 USDT. But the luckiest Coinplay user among those was the one who bet 1200 USDT on Argentina and won 8640 USDT! Imagine their feelings after the loss to Saudi Arabia in the first match.

What are the highest winning odds?

To predict the champion is risky, but not like these crazy bets. Here are the highest winning World Cup odds on Coinplay:

1. The luckiest single pre-match bet: Saudi Arabia vs Argentina – the correct score 1:2

Odds – 75

Bet – 5 USDT.

Won – 300 USDT

There were just a few Coinplay users who bet on Saudi Arabia in the pre-match, but no one placed more than 10 USDT. Only one of them guessed the correct score with a modest bet of 5 USDT, but with a very nice earning!

2. The luckiest single live bet: Netherlands vs Argentina on the 81’ – a draw

Odds – 21

Bet – 14 USDT.

Won – 294 USDT

Almost the same amount was earned on the next fiasco of the future champions. Argentina dominated in the quarterfinal against Netherlands, but this Coinplay user believed in the orange team two minutes prior to the start of their comeback, when the score was still 0:2. Imagine their emotions seeing this unforgettable free-kick on the 90+11’ minute!

3. The luckiest multi-bet on the round of 16: wins of Netherlands, Argentina, France, and Portugal, Brazil wins + TO 2.5, England wins + TO 2.5, a draw between Japan and Croatia

Odds – 149.4

Bet – 7.7 USDT.

Won – 1150.4 USDT

That was a simple but very efficient bet: the key was to avoid Morocco vs Spain, the only surprising result of this round. Japan and Croatia had the closest odds so the draw was logical, Brazil and England also scored over 2.5 goals easily. But football rarely goes according to expectations, that’s why the overall odds of 7 matches are so high. And the number 7 was really lucky for this user!

The biggest amount won/lost

1. The biggest amount won on Argentina vs France – Argentina wins the World Cup

Odds – 1.92

Bet – 20000 USDT

Won – 38400 USDT

Before the final Drake placed a famous bet of $1 million on Argentina and lost. How? He placed it on the regular time. Coinplay user was more aware and placed a huge amount just on the trophy winner with lower odds.

The outcomes for them were different, but one thing is for sure – they both lost their nerves during this crazy final. But the Coinplay user also won great money!

2. The biggest amount lost on Croatia vs Brazil – Brazil wins

Odds – 1.42

Bet – 33000 USDT

Won – 0 USDT

After the main World Cup favorite scored 4 goals in the 1 half of the previous round, it was easy to believe that Brazil would easily pass Croatia in the quarterfinal’s regular time. But Seleção didn’t even manage to score before extra time, and the biggest Coinplay World Cup bet was unfortunately lost.

Unusual World Cup bets on Coinplay

Coinplay always offers all the possible bets even on less popular matches, and users had an almost endless choice of unusual options. Here are some curious examples out of more than 1000 odds on every match:

1. VAR check – yes/no

Video Assistant Referee is a relatively new football feature, so it’s not a usual thing to find odds on it. But it’s a really exciting bet and a great addition to predictions on fouls and cards. Coinplay offered it on every match in Qatar and its users made over a thousand bets on VAR checks! A similar, but a bit less popular bet was called “Medical team enters the pitch – yes”.

2. What happens first in the interval (46-51 mins, for example)

Another suddenly popular bet is on the first event during any 5 minutes of the game. Most likely it may be a throw-in, but for higher odds, Coinplay users chose corners, goal kicks, free-kicks, and even penalties.

3. A yellow card for the delay – yes/no

And one more unusual bet that Coinplay users clicked hundreds of times. The World Cup is so important for all teams that it’s easy to imagine one of them delaying a goal kick in the final minutes. But during this World Cup, not so many bookings were given for that.

Football is coming back soon!

The World Cup was amazing, but even more exciting is the fact that we don’t have to wait 1-2 months to see all those heroes in club action again. For example, Liverpool will play against Manchester City already in 4 days after the final match in Qatar. And then we’ll enjoy the traditionally tight Christmas calendar in England. Other leagues will resume very soon too, and Coinplay will offer the best range of high odds on any match.

Besides football, they have tons of other sports – from obvious hockey and basketball (NHL and NBA are in full swing already) to some unusual ones like Muay Thai, Kabaddi, Boat Racing, Ski Jumping, and Biathlon. Two latter are especially relevant in the middle of winter – try betting on them with Coinplay and get a 100% Welcome Bonus of up to 5000 USDT!

Back in March, Thomas Partey’s away goal in Lagos sent Ghana to the World Cup at the expense of Nigeria. Ugly scenes followed the result, with several Super Eagles voicing their dysplasia at the performance, both on the pitch and off it. But there was one tiny silver lining.

The draw for the 2022 FIFA World Cup was made a few days later, and it threw up a tie that the planet had waited over a decade to see. A fixture that the eyes of the world would be on. Ghana vs Uruguay.

Back in 2010, it was the hand of Luis Suarez which stopped the Black Stars from becoming the first African nation in history from reaching the semifinals on football’s grandest stage, on African soil, nonetheless.

His last-gasp handball prevented Ghana from sealing a 2-1 victory and progression to the tournament’s final four. Instead, captain Asamoah Gyan would miss the resulting penalty with the final kick of the game, and the South Americans would go on to win via a penalty shootout, setting up a date with the Netherlands for a place in the Johannesberg showpiece.

12 years on from that fateful evening, the Ghanaians finally had their shot at redemption. The villain of the piece, former Barcelona and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, refused to apologize for the incident, instead pointing the finger at Gyan for missing the resulting spot-kick. That only stoked the fires ahead of this showdown in Qatar.

And as if the stakes weren’t high enough, the odds suggested that the winner of the tussle would progress to the last 16.

The Black Stars unable to claim their redemption

Ahead of the crunch clash, the Group H table was finely poised. Ghana knew that if they could avoid defeat, they would qualify for the second round at the expense of their nemesis. Uruguay knew that they had to win in order to have any chance of progressing while hoping a heavily rotated Portugal avoided defeat against Son Heung-Min’s South Korea, who had hopes of their own of progressing to the last 16.

Although soccer lines and outrights had made Uruguay the favorite for the World Cup, it was the Black Stars who started the brightest. And they were rewarded for that in the 20th minute when Mohammed Kudas was felled by goalkeeper Sergio Rochet. The referee duly pointed to the spot and just like 12 years ago, Ghana had the chance to take an all-important lead.

However, like back in Johannesberg, they couldn’t take it. Andre Ayew’s tame penalty was comfortably saved by the Nacional shot stopper, and his La Celeste teammates couldn’t hide their delight. And that elation was only elevated five minutes later, as Giorgian de Arrascaeta gave the South Americans the lead, bundling home after some shocking Ghanian defending allowed Luis Suarez in on goal.

‘Keeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi made the initial save; however, the ball fell to the Flamengo attacking midfielder, who nodded home from barely a yard out. Six minutes later, the two-time World Cup winners were in dreamland when de Arrascaetadoubled Uruguay’s lead, finishing off a brilliant team goal.

As the game progressed, it was clear to see that on this night – just as was the case 12 years ago – things weren’t going Uruguay’s way. But there was to be a late sting in the tale, delivered some 25km away in Al Rayyan.

Late Korean Drama

While Uruguay was heading for a comfortable victory at the Al Janoub Stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal were experiencing anything but comfort inside the Education City Stadium. Luckily for manager Fernando Santos, his side had already qualified for the second round, but their opponents, South Korea, needed a win.

And things couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start for the Taegeuk Warriors when SC Braga winger Ricardo Horta gave the Portuguese the lead after just nine minutes. The 28-year-old was able to latch onto Manchester United fullback DiogoDalot’s cutback to lash home on his World Cup debut.

But the Koreans dragged themselves right back into the contest 20 minutes later courtesy of Kim Young-Gwon. The 32-year-old took full advantage of a corner that deflected off the back of Ronaldo and fell right into his path. It was easier to score than miss, and the Ulsan Hyundai man duly obliged.

The match then became a cagey affair, but deep into second-half stoppage time. South Korea finally got a deserved second. Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Hwang Hee-chan latched on to his fellow Premier League compatriot Son Heung-Min’s pass to slot past Diogo Costa and trigger wild scenes both on the pitch and in the stands. The final whistle came, but Son and co. couldn’t yet celebrate.

The game between Ghana and Uruguay was still being played, and La Celeste knew that one more goal would send them through at South Korea’s expense. They couldn’t find it, however, and it was South Korea who had sealed their passage to the second round in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

The reason behind the failure of the senior national team of Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar has dominated discussion as the tournament reaches the semi final stage, where Morocco are the only African team in the last four.

Morocco made history by making it to the last four owing to their 1-0 win over Portugal in the quarter final and they will face France in the last four after their 2-1 win over England. The performance of the Atlas Lions has no doubt provoked discussions about the Super Eagles.

Recently, a senior player in the team Leon Balogun talked about vodoo as probably the reason why they failed to beat Ghana in the playoff but another player in the team said it’s far from it. He instead said the problem was the internal fighting among the coaches.

Nigeria went into the two legged playoff game with Austine Eguavoen as the interim technical adviser with Emmanuel Amuneke appointed as head coach to help the crew after their round of 16 exit at the Africa Cup of Nations.

It appears that move backfired spectacularly as a player who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the coaches were caught up in a power tussle on who is ahead in the set up.

” There was no proper definition of who is ahead of who. The hierarchy wasn’t spelt out properly. A coach will say we will play this way, another will say no play this way. Many people are not aware that we had two separate lineups for the return leg of the playoff against Ghana”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.

” We trained in a particular way but on matchday we played in a different way. We didn’t even know what was going on. Players who we thought should start were on the bench . It was chaotic. Our coaches worked against themselves and the nation at large”, he claimed.
