A betting coup that rocked London's bookmakers has gone unsolved.
Can someone explain why odds are better on a regulated bookmaker like Winamax than on Polymarket?
Winamax has to pay for marketing, staff, licenses, compliance, taxes...
Polymarket is a permissionless market where anyone can market make.
Yet France to qualify is 1.65x on Winamax vs 1.633x on Polymarket.
What am I missing?

A man bet €60 on two horses and believed he had turned it into €319,440. Ladbrokes refused to pay, citing a racing investigation he wasn’t part of. He launched High Court proceedings, and a year later he got a fraction of it.
– Dylan Phelan, 25, from Dungarvan in County Waterford, worked at a racing stable for trainer Declan Queally.
– On April 19, 2024, he walked into a Ladbrokes shop in Limerick City and placed a €30 each-way double on two of Queally’s horses.
– He took Ladbrokes’ early prices of 80/1 and 125/1.
– Rocky’s Diamond won a maiden hurdle at Limerick, and 22 minutes later Diamond Nora won a mares’ maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe.
– His €60 stake had become €319,440.
– But when he went to collect, Ladbrokes wouldn’t pay.
– The company said it would hold the bet until the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board finished investigating the two races.
– Race stewards had referred both winners to the regulator because of their apparent improvement in form.
– The regulator confirmed that Phelan was not under investigation.
– Other bookmakers had paid him on smaller bets on the same horses.
– Ladbrokes’ shop terms capped the payout on a bet like his at €100,000.
– Phelan said the investigation had nothing to do with him.
– Ladbrokes said it waits for an investigation to finish when a sporting body is looking into events it has taken notable bets on.
– Phelan launched High Court proceedings and waited for a hearing date.
– More than a year later, his story went public and spread to millions of views online.
– Eleven days later, in April 2025, Ladbrokes agreed to settle the bet after talks with the regulator.
– He was paid €100,000, not the €319,440 on his ticket.
He risked €60 on a double that won €319,440. Both horses won, the regulator cleared him, and he waited a year while Ladbrokes held his money. In the end, he was paid, but only a third of what his ticket said.
