Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling loses FIFA bet to Jose Enrique

When many of us think of sports bets we think of the bookies and the odds. Indeed, how often have we had FIFA bets, whether that be between our mates or on sites like BangtheBook.com?

For some, they don’t bet on the real FIFA but the popular EA Sports video game of the same name instead. Neither do they bet with money, instead they force the loser into public confessions of the winner’s superiority after they’ve lost to them in a tense video game match.

This is exactly what the terms of the FIFA video game bet between Enrique & Sterling were. They would play a match and the loser confesses on camera to the others’ superiority, allowing the winner to share the video with a Worldwide audience if they so pleased. Raheem Sterling was the unsurprising loser of this bet; we say unsurprising because Jose Enrique is the defending FIFA 13 Celebrity Cup champion, beating a whole host of Premier League stars. It seems his real life footie skills translated very well to the virtual world as he is said to have beaten Sterling without so much as a sweat.

The line up of premier league starts Enrique beat included the likes of Joe Hart, Chris Smalling, Ashley Young, Tom Cleverley, Phil Jones etc.

So 19-yr-old Raheem Sterling serves as just another conquest in Enrique’s rich history with the game. It is fortunate that they were not betting with real money or else Sterling would have lost more than his pride in that fateful match.

Though it must be noted that Enrique has had a pretty long injury lay-off. Why is that important? Because it is bound to have improved his FIFA skills in that time as he had more time for virtual games.
