Canada defrauded bookmakers of millions! A draw with Austria at odds of 800 was hit by about eight people, bookmaker admits

Canada hasn’t dropped a game at the World Cup, but a few days ago they surprised many fans. The reason for this was their draw with Austria, when they were leading by five goals. The bookmaker admitted it cost his bookmaker millions.

On Tuesday, we witnessed an interesting clash. Canada played Austria and the odds didn’t suggest any drama. It shouldn’t have when a gold medal contender was playing a team fighting to stay up.

After the second period, the score was 6-1 and it wasn’t about who would win the game, but rather how much Canada would gift their opponent. But the players had probably seen each other in the pub and thought they could just finish the game.

But they got it badly wrong. The Austrians got busy and gradually reduced the deficit. By the 15:56 mark of the third period, it was 6:5 from Canada’s perspective and the underdog fans were hoping for a turnaround.

And they almost got it. with 49 seconds left, Marco Rossi tied the game and it went to overtime. Canada had already won the game and came within two points, but the Austrians were praised from all sides.

“It’s a huge stress for the bookmaker because he’s trying to do something about the odds, but when there’s one goal after another falling, it’s hard,” said Hora, who also outlined the losses from the game.

“There were about eight people who bet on the draw at odds of 800, so the bookmaker also lost a lot and it got into one of our top 10 losses,” he added.
