$210,405 Stake Bet Returns $336,648 on Overtime Goal

While Argentina celebrated booking their place in another World Cup semi-final, one Stake.com customer was also rejoicing after landing a mega wager on over 0.5 goals in extra time.

Argentina and Switzerland were level at 1–1 after 90 minutes, taking the quarter-final into extra time. It was then that the bettor stepped in with a $210,405.59 wager on over 0.5 extra-time goals at odds of 1.60. Considering Switzerland were down to 10 men at this point in the match, those odds were extremely generous.

The Swiss held out during the first period of extra time, but couldn’t hang on. Julián Álvarez scored the required goal in the 112th minute, settling the bet as a winner. Lautaro Martínez added another in stoppage time as Argentina completed a 3–1 victory.

The successful wager produced a total payout of $336,648.95, including $126,243.36 in profit.

Argentina’s reward for beating Switzerland is a semi-final against England, with a place in the 2026 World Cup final awaiting the winner.

Stake has England priced at 2.55 to win in 90 minutes, while Argentina and the draw are both available at 3.00. In the qualification market, England are 1.75 to progress, compared with 2.04 for Argentina.

Argentina will arrive with confidence after scoring twice in extra time against Switzerland, while England are given a slight edge by the sportsbook, largely thanks to the sparkling form of Jude Bellingham, who has scored six goals in the tournament so far.
