A single Polymarket bettor turned a $400,000 wager into nearly $9 million during Spain's shocking 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in World Cup qualifying. The wallet 'fishalive'—created just days prior—correctly predicted both Spain's failure to win and Cape Verde's +2.5 spread at 9% odds.

The bettor's timing raised eyebrows, with a $4.5 million position placed eight minutes before kickoff. Vozinha's 11-save performance secured player-of-the-match honors and triggered Polymarket's public ledger to display the windfall in real time.

This marks the second major prediction win for the previously unknown account, demonstrating how decentralized prediction markets can produce asymmetric payouts that traditional sportsbooks rarely permit.
