Just how big of favorites are the United States for their FIFA Women’s World Cup showdown against Vietnam? A giant wager placed by a fan can sum it all up.
The United States, winners of the 2015 and 2019 tournaments, are looking to become the first nation to win three straight FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments. Their contest begins with an evening showdown against Vietnam in Group E action.
Per The Action Network, a customer at the DraftKings sportsbook placed a massive $70,000 wager on the U.S. to win. The Americans are major -20000 money line favorites to emerge victorious.
And here’s the catch: With a United States win, the customer would only take home $350.
That bettor is obviously (and understandably) extremely confident in the heavily-favored Americans. But we have seen our fair share of incredible upsets, and anything can happen in the sporting world.
Should the U.S. win, the lucky bettor will at least take home a nice chunk of change to treat some of their family and friends to a nice dinner. Or they could put the $350 towards more lucrative sports wagers.

This is only the round robin and not an elimination game, so even if the Americans endured a stunning upset, they’d still be very much alive in the tournament. But we know that there will be at least one fan sweating it out if the game isn’t as lopsided as many expect.
