166,990/1 odds of a Gasly, Sainz and Stroll podium and someone bet on that.

Some service actually took bets on those odds?

The House probably thought they were just taking that poor sucker’s €0.20.

What's in it for the House?

No skin off the bettor's neck.

Most online services they won't set odds higher than 50/1 or 75/1.

Who wants to collect $20 worth of fliers only for some guy to hit the jackpot?

Someone betting 20 cents on that crazy finish is probably such a degenerate he probably didn’t even remember he made that bet.

This is the equivalent of John Mellencamp winning 16 oscars

If that was his only bet, then that is amazing! But you have to think for a 20 cent bet, he may have placed up to 50 different bets without any real problem on his wallet...

10 and 20 cent bets are super common in horse racing multipicks

Not at all strange. The odds as you can see are long.

Could have placed hundreds of cards

Not sure about Sweden, but in Finland you get to keep all winnings. Had a Finnish friend win 20k in Vegas and was able to wire it all back.

I use a Swedish betting site and I've made a lot of 10 cent bets that never win on 12 game parlays.

as long as those odds are, they're still heavily tilted in their favor.
