A man has
won more than £500 after placing a bet on Luis Suarez to bite an opponent
at the 2014 World Cup
Norwegian
Thomas Syverson staked £3 on the Liverpool forward attempting to bite someone
at this summer's showpiece at 175-1 through online gambling website Betsson. Mr
Syverson, of Trondheim, was one of 167 punters who made this bet - with one
person even scooping a larger win of almost £2,000.
A slip
posted online shows the bet of 32 Norwegian Krone (£3.09) that was placed by
Blackpool fan Mr Syverson - with his payout coming in at 5,600 Krone (£540.26).
He told AftenPosten: ‘I woke up just before it happened, so
I was not awake. I saw the incident on replays. It was pretty special. For me
it was a success, so I'm happy.
‘I think
Luis Suarez is a very good football player, but I’m a Blackpool supporter. So
therefore I would not wear a Suárez shirt. But maybe I’ll buy one for my
girlfriend.’
Mr
Syverson added that he is celebrating his girlfriend’s birthday on Saturday, so
will spend some of the prize money on a ‘nice gift’ for her.
