Betting Co. Offering £10,000 To First Player Who Does Ridiculous Goal Celebration

By: chris | November 21st, 2008

There are all kinds of legal hangups here, so that £10,000 may in fact end up costing the player, but it’s a clever attempt from Betfair nonetheless. They’re offering £10,000 for the first Prem player with no shame willing to look like a jackass with some dance which resembles an ode to Daniel Larusso by a sorority girl who should’ve been cut off hours ago. Basically it’s on-pitch advertising for their new betting game, or something.

So what happens if someone scores and does the Tai Kai, then another person, not knowing the Tai Kai was so 15 minutes ago, does the same? How big an ass will that guy feel like selling his soul for pounds he’ll never see?

I suppose now we have to speculate on the Tai Kai champion. My vote goes to Cristiano Ronaldo – ManU isn’t paying him enough, or haven’t you heard – but I’m looking forward to Ashley Cole setting up shop in the Newcastle box for 90 minutes.

Mmmh... this could be great for resurrecting "La Macarena" or the Ketchup song.

But spot on on the "selling his soul" part.

I think Sacha Klejstan already does the first part, but he's smart enough to leave out the goofy karate chops.

Yeah, I wouldn't do the dance, but I would do the girl

I can totally see Cristiano Ronaldo doing that pelvic thrust thing.

Even though I wish I couldn't.
