Twitch streamer xQc just lost a huge $700,000 after betting on Kamala Harris to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Known for his wild bets and big personality, xQc—whose real name is Felix Lengyel—was sure Harris had a shot. He put his money down on her win against Donald Trump, hoping to turn a big profit.
However, things didn’t go his way. Trump started taking the lead in key states like North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, and xQc’s chances faded along with Harris’s.
xQc made his bet on the popular betting site Stake.com. The platform offered him 2.3 to 1 odds that seemed pretty good, so he put down the huge sum, hoping to walk away with $1.6 million if Harris won. But, with Trump edging ahead, that massive prize slipped through his fingers, leaving him with a big loss instead.
As election results came in, xQc’s fans were glued to his stream, watching the drama unfold. Many were shocked that he would take such a huge gamble, and some even worried about him risking so much cash. But xQc didn’t seem fazed, he was confident in his pick for Harris, even if it meant losing all that money in the end.
Moreover, this isn’t xQc’s first time making a big bet. He’s known for regularly streaming high-stakes gambling and often talks about major events. His bet on Harris added extra drama to election night, capturing another moment of excitement for his fans.
