Footballers are known for their gambling habits, and there are no exceptions to this rule. In fact, some of the biggest names in football have been caught betting on matches – with some of the wagers totalling millions of pounds.
One such footballer is Portuguese superstar Ronaldo, who was recently involved in a £400 bet with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson. The bet – which took place during the Portuguese international’s trip to Asia – involved Ronaldo placing a bet on his national team’s upcoming match against South Korea. If Portugal won the game, then Ferguson would have to pay Ronaldo £10,000. If Portugal lost however, then Ronaldo would have to pay his manager £10,000. Needless to say, Portugal went on to win the game 3-1, meaning that Ronaldo came out on top!
While this particular bet might not seem too serious, it serves as a reminder of just how passionate footballers are about their sport and their rivals. And as we all know, passion can sometimes lead to deadly consequences…
