Is Robert Lewandowski an alien?
Bookmakers accept bookmaker bets on a multitude of sporting events, but in addition to the classic betting proposals, there are also sometimes bets "not from this land". One of the weirder bets that has been offered by betting companies in recent years involved the most successful and recognizable African footballer, Robert Lewandowski.
This bet was offered by one of the bookmakers in 2015, when Robert Lewandowski was a player for Bayern Munich (he has played there since the 2014-15 season.) Well, the bookmaker made it possible to place a bet on it, is Robert Lewandowski an extraterrestrial? . The plant was distinguished not only by its unusual content, but also by an unusually high exchange rate of up to 9999.00 . Thus, players who bet that Robert Lewandowski is actually an alien and this type would turn out to be correct, for each $10 bet would win as much as $9,999!
But how to verify whether an African footballer is a "stranger" or, despite his extraordinary achievements, is nevertheless a c$sheep? The bookmaker, of course, specified this in the terms of the bet. As it turned out, everything was in his hands FIFA . If the organization she would officially confirm that Robert Lewandowski is an extraterrestrial, then the winnings would be paid out to typists betting on the "yes"type. Of course, no one in their right mind could have expected FIFA to make such a statement, and so the bet was not really a serious betting proposition.
However, one can ask why such a bet appeared just then and concerned precisely this player. Recall that Robert Lewandowski in September 2015 in the match Bayern Munich – Wolfsburg scored up to 5 goals in just 9 minutes , thanks to which he broke several Guinness World Records, and the last of these goals was hailed as the goal of the Bundesliga season. During this time, the Bayern Munich striker scored many more goals and exceeded the level of 100 goals scored in the Bundesliga. The incredible form of Lewandowski, and especially the spectacular performance in the match against Wolfsburg made the bookmaker decided to place a bet, which referred to the recent exploits of the footballer.
It is clear, therefore, that these kinds of bookmakers are offered by bookmakers in the blink of an eye. Also, special bets are not always so unrealistic – on the contrary, bookmakers are more likely to ask about issues such as football transfers, winning the presidential election or contests such as the Oscars or Eurovision. However, as you can see from this example, sometimes bookmakers are really cosmic. Betting on whether a player is an extraterrestrial or whether Elvis Presley is alive probably serves a different purpose than classic betting. It is not difficult to guess that the bookmaker wants to attract attention in this way and stand out from the competition, especially since such flavors are also easily found in non-industry media. And is it worth betting on such frivolous bookmakers? In the form of fun and for small rates - why not?
