A live match between Australia and France is shown at the bottom with France leading 2-1 at the half which may also play a role in the total figure. Trainwrecks' total odds reached 61.39 with his bets with a total stake of $25,651.08, which combine to result in a whopping total payout of $1,574,660.32.
During a livestream around the time that Twitch was set to ban the content type on the platform, Trainwrecks revealed that he once made $360 million from 16 months of gambling which shows that the popular streamer has plenty of experience dealing in lump sums. Trainwrecks took a risk in betting his $25,651.08 on the World Cup matches on November 22 because he had to get all four predictions correct in order to not lose the money and although a Poland penalty kick threatened to ruin his win streak, the popular Twitch streamer won big instead. Though some viewers have been critical of his gambling over the years,Trainwrecks has used winningsto do things like set up a mental health fund to help others.
Many of Trainwrecks' audience expressed their enthusiasm for thepopular Twitch streamerand his FIFA World Cup winnings, while some were simply gobsmacked by the massive earnings from one day of the event. Although some viewers suggested that Trainwrecks get help for his gambling habit, it’s unlikely that he will based on an expletive-laden response that he had shortly after posting the cash-out screenshot.
