Conor McGregor discloses $8.2 million in betting gains in just over week: "I want my money"
Since announcing his partnership with the gambling site Duelbits in 2024, Conor McGregor has seen his sports betting success provide a significant short-term boost to his net worth. Whether it be beginner's luck or a hidden talent, McGregor has consistently shared his winning bet slips on social media with his activity peaking in early July.
As 'The Notorious' would show off on his Instagram on July 15, his total winnings in just the past week have exceeded $8 million. McGregor shared a screenshot of his text messages to his contact within Duelbits, showing off his recent success.
In the screenshot he posted, McGregor can be seen texting his representative:
"Thinking a nice 100k treble also. Spain, Argentina, and Carlos Alcarez Wimbledon! 100k clears 4 million return.. Add that... And I want my money."
As the 35-year-old laid out in the text he included in his story, his winning bets have included single bets on Nate Diaz defeating Jorge Masvidal, Argentina winning the Copa America and Spain winning the Euro 2024. In the screenshot, McGregor also showed his single biggest payout included a three-leg parlay with Spain, Argentina and Carlos Alcaraz beating Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon.
McGregor put $100,000 on his three-leg treble, reportedly winning $4 million on that bet alone, adding up to a total profit of $8.2 million.
Conor McGregor has reportedly made more money than any other UFC fighter in 2024 off sports betting alone
Conor McGregor is already the richest fighter in UFC history and is claiming to have made more than any other athlete on the active roster in 2024 despite not competing in the calendar year.
As the Irishman would share on X, he won over $8 million in recent sports betting wagers, which he claimed in a re-tweet of another account is more than any UFC fighter has made from fighting in the year.
While the claim has not been confirmed, it appears likely to be true with no fighter reporting a disclosed pay over $8 million in 2024.
Although the fighter's recent betting success is undeniably unsustainable, McGregor appears intent on continuing to ride his hot hand in the gambling industry until his luck dies down.
