Sure enough, more than 100 gamblers decided that it was worth a punt. <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/gallery\/2014\/jun\/24\/luis-suarez-giorgio-chiellini-world-cup-pictures-gallery\">When Su\u00e1rez seemingly did just that to Chiellini<\/a> near the end of their Group D clash in Natal, it was time to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>One winner, Jonathan Braeck from Stenungssund in Sweden, bet 80 Swedish krona (\u00a37) that Su\u00e1rez would bite, and the 23-year-old substitute teacher is now set for a payout of 14,000 krona (\u00a31,225) for his wager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst I thought I\u2019d bet a little more, but a friend said I was just wasting my money,\u201d a delighted Braeck told the <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expressen.se\/sport\/\">SportExpressen newspaper<\/a>. \u201cWhen Italy took over the game you knew that he could go a little crazy,\u201d he added. \u201cI didn\u2019t think that he would bite, but that he\u2019d do something stupid. Then he did the best stupid thing that he could do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Betsafe confirmed the wager, saying: \u201cWe can gladly confirm that our customer won 14,000 krona because Su\u00e1rez remarkably bit an opponent \u2013 again,\u201d Patrik Oqvist, Betsafe\u2019s marketing manager told the newspaper. \u201cWe had fun setting these strange odds and it\u2019s very nice that a customer got it right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Braeck said he intends to spend some of his winnings on travelling to a Premier League game in England, but he will not be visiting Liverpool to see the man who helped fund his trip. \u201cIt will be a trip to Manchester. I\u2019m going to try to find someone to go with me to Manchester United,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I had [Su\u00e1rez\u2019s] home address I\u2019d send him a thank-you card.
