    He has history! lol

     

    Suárez was handed a seven-match ban by the Dutch FA and fined by his club for biting the PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal during an Eredivisie match.

    In an email to the Associated Press, a spokesman for Bettson said the bettor won the prize on a 32 kroner bet (a little less than $5).

    The spokesman also told the AP that the online gambling site had received "six-figures" worth of Norwegian kroner on the Suarez proposition bet.

    Norway's largest newspaper, AftenPosten, reported Thomas Syversen as the winner.

    “I woke up just before it happened, so I was not awake,” Syversen told the paper. “I saw the incident on replays.”

    Following Uruguay's 1-0 win over Italy on Tuesday, a result that knocked the Azzurri out of the World Cup, FIFA announced it has opened an investigation in the alleged biting incident.

    Syversen posted a picture of his betting slip as proof of the win.

    I am surprised at the length of the ban he got.4 Months,which is the equivalent of 9 premier League matches.He recieved a 10 match ban by the premier league for his bite on Ivanovich.
