Sometimes you just can’t even make these stories up. Golf fan Rob Price was about to eat his danish when he noticed it had a striking resemblance to Rory McIlroy. The superstitious man then went home and placed a 1200 euro bet on McIlroy to win the Masters, who is favored 11/1. The bet would net him 14,400 euros, and would give him bragging rights to all of his friends.
The golf fan told the Mirror:
“I couldn’t believe it when I picked up my Danish from the local bakery in Andover only to see what looked like Rory McIlroy’s face burnt into the top of it.
“I was going to put some money on Rory to win The Masters this year anyway, but I’m pretty superstitious so when this happened instead of putting €120 down, I decided to go big and put €1,200 on through my Betfair account.
“It’s got to be a sign – Rory’s face on a piece of food from his girlfriend’s home country. My mates have had a giggle and think I’m mad, but if I pocket €14,400, I’ll be the one laughing.”
Certainly an interesting way to decide to place a bet, but I’ve seen worse logic.
