At the Budapest Champions League final, Tippmix's daily stake records fell: the Paris SG–Arsenal final drew five times the stakes of the Europa League final, and several multi-million-forint wins were landed.
It was a historic night at the Budapest Champions League final — not only on the pitch, but in the betting shops too. Paris SG wrote itself into the cup's history as defending champion, while on Tippmix the daily stake records fell one after another.
The final, held in the Hungarian capital, surpassed every previous cup final in turnover: the total staked on the Champions League final was five times that of the Europa League final, and six times that of the Conference League final.
A Dramatic Final Decided on Penalties
The match between Paris SG and Arsenal was a genuine thriller. Arsenal took the lead as early as the 6th minute (1–0), but the Parisians equalized from the penalty spot. Regular time ended in a 1–1 draw, so a penalty shootout settled it — and PSG came out on top to defend its trophy.
Most Bettors Read It Right
According to Tippmix's statistics, players read the match with a particularly sharp eye. The most popular markets played out as follows:
| Betting market |
Outcome |
| Who wins the final? (PSG) | 80% backed PSG |
| Both teams to score (1.81) | 99% won |
| Will there be a penalty? | 98% correct |
| Will there be a shootout? (5.00) | 99% won |
| Goals in both halves? | 84% won |
The “Both teams to score” market, at odds of 1.81, proved a near-certain winner, while those who tipped the penalty shootout doubled up — in fact quintupled their stake — at odds of 5.00.
Multi-Million Forint Wins
The final was memorable not only for its turnover records — several players ended the evening with serious winnings:
- One bettor had been holding a five-leg slip since September, which ultimately paid out HUF 2,076,228.
- An October tip that picked three European cup winners in advance returned roughly HUF 2 million.
- A 3/4 combination put together with a bet builder closed with a HUF 2,138,759 win.
Record Turnover in Hungarian Sports Betting
The Budapest Champions League final thus became a milestone not only for football, but for Hungarian sports betting as well. The exceptional interest clearly shows how much attention the final held in Hungary attracted — and that Hungarian bettors, on a memorable evening, mostly put their stakes on the right side.
