For France, that now puts them three victories away from a second straight World Cup title and for bettor, Daniel Forte, that means cashing in on his futures parlay worth $557,770.91.

Forte was offered a cash out of $83,000 prior to kick-off between France and Poland, but decided to let it ride.
Forte’s seven-leg parlay included a Kansas NCAA March Madness victory, a Golden State Warriors NBA title, a Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup victory, AC Milan to finish atop Serie A, Los Angeles FC capture the Major League Soccer crown and Manchester City to win the Premier League.
France will now face their stiffest test of the tournament when they square off against England on Saturday in the quarter-finals.
