What a way to win a bet: When Uruguyan striker Luis Suarez apparently bit Italian defender, Giorgio Chiellini, a man living more than 5300 miles was awoken from a deep sleep. The man named Thomas Syverson, a Norwegian living in Trondheim, the country’s third largest city. Syverson saw that Betsson, an online gambling site based in Malta was offering 175-1 odds that Suarez who had bitten other players before would bite someone during the world Cup and on a hunch placed the equivalent of $5.25(3.85 euros) on the first day of action in Brazil. When Suarez took the apparent bite in the 79th minute, Syverson said he was awoken by a friend who texted him what has just happened. Sure enough, he checked and the equivalent of $916(673 euros) was deposited into his account for winning the bet. Andreas Bardum, sportsbook manager for the gambling site Betsson, where Syverson placed the bet, said 167 gamblers placed bets on the prop. The biggest winner he said was also a Norwegian who won $3300 but he cited that the company policy is not to disclose any of the names of its bettors. The VAMPIRE bite has won this much for the Norwegians. HAHAHAHAHA
