Belgian online gambling site Napoleon Games is expanding its offering beyond casino games to now allow users to bet on 37 different types of sports. To launch this sports-betting expansion, Napoleon Games is introducing a first — a commercial on which you can place a bet. The online film, created by Duval Guilllaume Modem, shows an absurd race between 7 bizarre sports people including a mulleted footballer with a ball literally sticking to his foot, a cyclist with poor eyesight and a driver with horse and cart.
After a couple of seconds, the online film freezes and the viewer is asked to predict, free of charge, which of the 7 bizarre sports people will win the race. The film then continues and, similar to actual betting games, the end is never the same. Viewers who make the correct choice stand a chance of winning € 500 worth of gaming credit. Play here.

The controversial film was quickly pulled from YouTube, before being reinstated with an adult-only rating. Although the video doesn't feature any nudity, the graphic religious imagery apparently warranted enough concern for YouTube to temporarily pull the clip.
