Former England international Peter Crouch lost a bet and had to pay around nine thousand euros in beer during the famous Cheltenham horse racing festival in the UK. The ex-forward offered one thousand pints of Guinness to the bettors present at the racetrack. The bet, made with the betting house Paddy Power, depended on the nationality of the winning horse in the Stayers Hurdle race, which took place at 3:20 PM. The rules were simple: if the winning horse was trained in Ireland, Crouch would pay for the drinks; if it was trained in Great Britain, the bill would be covered by Paddy Power. Unfortunately for the former Liverpool player, the winning horse was the Irish Home By The Lee, which forced him to shell out around 9,000 euros to pay for the thousand pints. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try and try again!

It is worth noting that this is not the first time Crouch has lost a significant bet at the same event. Last year, he also lost a considerable amount, the value of which he preferred not to disclose. "It was around… I won't say the exact amount. It wasn't cheap! It was longer than my femur!" he joked at the time in statements to the British press.
