The Formula 1 race held on Sunday (6), featured a very unusual podium. After all, the Italian Grand Prix had Pierre Gasly as the winner, Carlos Sainz as second and Lance Stroll as third.

In a period of extensive dominance by Lewis Hamilton driving his Mercedes, any bet that did not include the six-time champion could be considered a true zebra.

Unexpected podium paid off for Finn

A game of just € 0.20 (R $ 1.25) in an unlikely combination on the GP podium meant that a Finnish bettor pocketed around R $ 208,000 last Sunday.

The news was announced on the portal, Italehti, from Finland. The winning guess was made on the local online betting platform, Veikkaus.

In other words, the bet on the podium made up of Gasly, Sainz and Stroll at the Monza circuit yielded 166 times the amount played. Performed as a simple joke, the bet resulted in a jackpot for the bettor.

According to the sports betting website, only 2017 had a Top 3 that yielded the amount so often. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix podium that season, made up of Daniel Ricciardo, Valtteri Bottas and also Stroll, paid 63,467.70 for every euro played.

On the occasion, three players, who also only paid € 0.20 at the time, received around 12.5 thousand euros (approximately 80 thousand reais) each.

New surprise in Formula 1?

By way of comparison, Europe’s online betting companies are paying 1.44 for every euro played in Hamilton as the winner of the race at the Tuscany race track, which will take place for the first time in a Formula One race.

But, if the pilot Gasly repeats the feat of that last weekend, the player can pocket 101 times the amount spent. However, the biggest value generated by bet is in an eventual triumph of Nicholas Latifi, from Williams, who could represent a value 5,001 times higher.
