Pinnacle Big Bet winner places a huge $100,000 bet on France to lift soccer’s biggest prize

Pinnacle’s first-ever Pinnacle Big Bet winner has chosen France as his selection after scooping the huge $100,000 prize.

Pinnacle, the renowned ‘Winners Welcome’ sportsbook, took World Cup betting to the limit back in November at the kick-off of the World Cup, by launching the $100,000 Pinnacle Big Bet competition, giving existing customers and new customers on www.pinnacle.com the chance to hit the jackpot by earning a $100,000 stake on the final of the tournament.

The selection of France by the Pinnacle Big Bet winner, who lives in Brazil, means that if the reigning world champions can defeat Argentina in Sunday’s showpiece final, the winner will receive a total payout of $95,200. The Money Line odds for France to lift the trophy currently sit at -105* (1.95*) on www.pinnacle.com. *Odds subject to change

After his selection of France, the Pinnacle Big Bet winner said, "It was a very hard choice, but I went with France. For me, they have more ways to be successful. Headers, counters, and individual plays are all ways in which France can score. As for Argentina, I feel like it will be very hard for them to win if Messi is not having a good day."

When asked how he’ll think the final will play out, he said: "Ah, the million-dollar question (or 100 thousand, to be more precise). I believe that Argentina will have more possession, which is scary when you have a player like Messi. And France will try to play a faster, counter-attacking style when with the ball, which is also scary with a player like Mbappe. I feel like it is a very evenly matched duel."
