The highest winnings at the bookmaker and the tax

Not only in Poland, a high win is a topic that appears mostly in the context of well-known lotteries or television tournaments. When it comes to high winnings in bookmakers, such information appears much less often, but this does not mean that a typer can not become a millionaire thanks to his game. In Poland, there have already been several really high wins, which the amount exceeded $1 million while the series wins several hundred thousand dollars legal bookmakers have paid out many times.

The player played 2 more coupons with a win of $ 327,405, 2 coupons with a win of $ 310,355 and 1 coupon with a win of $354,689.

Most selections involved betting on the winner of the match, but there were also more advanced bets such as "both teams will score a goal" or combined bets (e.g. 1.half/final result).

Winning at the bookmaker Fortuna-more than $1 million

Our ranking again returns to the bookmaker Fortuna, which in March 2023 one player won over $1 million. He succeeded by betting. 2 accumulated coupons with very high general rates. The first coupon included 11 types with offers on football matches, rate 80,22 $ and the total course is 8 161.39 . The winnings from this AKO bet amounted to more than $518,500 after tax.

The second coupon included 10 selections football, the stakes are 125 $ , and the total course 5 387.89 in this case, the win is over. 533.400 $ . Thus, thanks to hitting 21 types in 1 day, the player became another millionaire in Poland. Of course, just the correct selection of selected events would not have brought such an unusual financial success, if not for the fact that the typer placed them on AKO coupons, obtaining many thousands of total betting odds.

2 wins in the Fortune – each for more than $0.5 million

The next 2 wins were at the bookmaker Fortuna for the same amount, i.e. before tax 601.000, 00$, and after that – exactly 540.900,00 $ . Both accumulators were placed at stake only $2 . Let's look at these cases.

W October 2021 the player placed a bet whose total bet rate was close to 362,000. ! The coupon included 27 events , whose individual courses ranged from 1.04 to 3.75 so the range of courses was really wide. However, looking at the courses in more detail, it should be noted that a strong most events had odds no higher than 2.00 that is, most bets were about winning favorites or other fairly certain events. The player also used "As a bonus" Fortune, which further increased the value of the winnings. On the coupon were placed only betting on football matches, m.in. the Europa League, the Europa League Conference and various 1. European leagues (e.g. English, Italian, Belarusian, Cypriot).

The second win came in February 2022 Typer then bet on 1 coupon 12 events whose courses were in the range from 1.82 to 3.85 . Here, too, the total bet rate was raised by the Fortune bonus, which added an additional 1.40. Eventually, the bet was 695.543,76 . On the coupon znala$y there were bookmakers with offers on football-mainly on the Ekstraklasa.

As you can see, the winnings from the second bet should be much higher (close to $ 1.4 million) than from the first, so why are they the same? The maximum win in the Fortune is just $ 601,000, and after tax, as much as both players received: $540,900.

Winning a Fortune-more than $ 0.5 million from playing tennis

And another impressive win at the bookmaker Fortuna, which was recorded in April 2022. It is so unique against the background of the cases discussed so far that this time the typer was betting not on football, but exclusively for tennis . In addition, 1 plant was selected as only 6 matches (which also distinguishes this coupon, because usually more events are wagered), and the bet was quite low – was 20 $ . Moreover, the player typed in the mode live during the tennis matches. The rate of the accumulator bet turned out to be very high, since it was 33 422.50 . The win was based on 588.236 $ , and after deducting the tax from the winnings, the player received exactly 529.412,40 $ .

Betclic wins nearly $0.5 million

Although Betclic bookmaker has a much shorter internship in Poland than Fortuna or STS bookmakers, it also had a very high win rate. In August 2020. one of the players bet on the Betclic betting site, which brought him up to 466,000. $ and what is worth highlighting – he didn't pay a cent in taxes on his winnings. . The player bet until 306 same coupons and the rate of a single bet was about 28,50 $ . Betting sites included events for matches football, basketball and baseball and the average coupon rate was 44.60 .

In addition to the fact that so constructed bookmakers allowed to achieve many winnings, none of which exceeded the amount to which the tax exemption applies, the player received an additional amount thanks to the use of the promotion "Multi+" (promotion that increases winnings from multi-gift vouchers).

STs – 370,000. $ + porsche

It was interesting to win with June 2020 STS. Then the player correctly bet on the results 15 European Championship matches in football 2020, thanks to which his win amounted to 370,000. $ . This amount, of course, is much lower than the cases discussed above, however, it should be noted that in addition to winning from the correct bets, the player also received a car from the bookmaker Porsche Cayman straight from the living room. Such a main prize was set by STS as part of the promotion accompanying Euro 2020 "Viva la Porsche" – the task of its participants was to correctly select the largest number of matches on an accumulative coupon with a rate of at least $10.

The lucky player bet until 1.200 coupons meet the promotion conditions by betting several hundred combinations of Match Results and spending on the game together 12.000 $ . Of course, he did not bet on all possible combinations, because then he would have to bet more than 14 million coupons. The player had to have sports knowledge in order to be able to choose the most likely variants of the results of the matches. As it turned out, such a strategy paid off – winning 370 thousand. $ was increased by a brand new porsche, whose then catalog value was about 250,000. $.

Other high winnings at a bookmaker in Poland

The above list shows that most often the highest winnings in bookmakers fall at the bookmaker Fortuna . However, this does not mean that other bookmakers do not from time to time pay out large amounts of winnings from bets on deposit accounts of their players. The big win came more than once in STS - in addition to the cases already mentioned, it is also worth mentioning, for example, the 330,000 won in 2008. $. The player then placed system bookmakers bets on 1 coupon at the ground point, typing 27 events for a bet of 18,000. $. This win was at that time a record win from bookmakers in Poland. However, a better yield could boast another typer who played STS – he bet on 1 coupon bookmaker bets on the results of 30 matches of Euro 2012 for a bet of $ 2, and won 180 thousand. $.

Other legal bookmakers in Poland have also repeatedly had to transfer considerable money to the players ' account. For example, a large payout was made by Betfan - $247,000. $, Betclic - $230,000. $, forBET - over 177,000. $, LVBet - 158,000. $ or Total bet - over 102,000. $.

The highest winnings at the bookmaker-conclusions

Do the highest winnings in betting shops have something in common and can any conclusions be drawn from these cases that will be useful during typing? Well, there are certainly a few features that most lucky coupons with high winnings have in common. First of all, almost every high win discussed above came from an accumulated coupon. In the above list, there was only 1 exception to this rule (and the bet on this bet was huge, and the odds for a SOLO Bet are very high). The other highest winnings at the bookmaker have just been obtained on accumulated coupons, which usually contained several, and sometimes even dozens of events !

On such tapes typers mostly they posted events with low odds , often so-called certainties, although there were also single events with much higher odds. A large number of events on 1 ako coupon allowed you to get high coupon total rate (sometimes several thousand), thanks to which a high win was also possible. In turn the stakes were usually not particularly high. and in some cases really small.

Most often players they only focus on one sport. and almost always it was football (which should not be surprising, because in Poland the bookmakers are mostly about the offer for this sport). Typists clearly preceded betting detailed analysis of individual meetings and they showed little bookmaker knowledge which can be concluded based on the types of bets and the way the game is played. Some have also made good use of betting promotions.

However, let's not forget that whether it is the highest win at the bookmaker or a success of a much smaller caliber, every win to a greater or lesser extent depends on luck. . And if so, then even the best-developed plan, which will also be based on the lessons learned from the successes of other typers, may not work. Bookmakers need to be prepared for the fact that the win will pass by them many times-although with some approach, the bet coupon can also bring the desired, perhaps a record-high win in Poland.
