The "Score First, You Win" World Cup Promo

[MarkusEmo]

I was looking at the stats for the knockout stages of this 2026 World Cup, and over a third of the teams that scored the first goal ended up failing to win in 90 minutes. That means Stake's "Score First, You Win" promotion (where they pay out your 1x2 bet immediately if your team scores first, regardless of the final result) is actually saving an insane amount of slips right now. Have you guys been actively altering your betting strategy to target aggressive teams just to trigger this early payout, or are you still capping the games normally?

You are actually very correct

I had a bet on a random group stage match where the underdog scored first in like the 8th minute and then parked the bus so hard, it felt like an instant win even though they conceded a late equalizer. That early payout feature really bailed me out that night.
