Sex Toy Betting: BetOnline Involved in Weird WNBA Match Line
The American bookmaker BetOnline has distinguished itself with a rather controversial initiative. Against the backdrop of two incidents in one week, when sex toys were thrown from the stands at matches of the WNBA women's basketball league, the operator opened a betting line... for the following such cases.
In total, six betting options were offered - from the colour of the object and the landing zone to the method of removing it from the court. The most absurd was the crossover bet, where the player could guess whether the colour of the thrown object would match the shade of "Gatorade", which would be poured on the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles after the future victory in the Super Bowl.
The first incident occurred on Tuesday in the Atlanta Dream match against Valkyries, the second on Friday between Chicago Sky and Golden State Valkyries. Both times the game was interrupted to remove bright green objects from the court.

The bookmaker did not wait long and deleted the line on Saturday, citing the mixed reaction of the public and possible reputational risks. Despite the hype and attention in the media, betting on on the WNBA live TV turned out to be too much even for an operator like BetOnline.

As for me, it's brilliant marketing. But too risky.
Who even comes to a match with a phallus in his pocket?..
A year ago, there was a fight between bloggers and a vibrator in the corner of the ring. Now this. We, as a civilization, are degrading.
I don't know what is more disgusting - the fact that they were thrown on the court or the fact that bets were opened on this.
American betting, ladies and gentlemen. Bet on whatever you want, even... well, you get the idea.
Did it really happen? How could you even think of such a thing?
