Since the inception of the zombie apocalypse genre there have been hundreds of origin stories created to set the events of these tales in motion. Thanks to Dying Light developer Techland and bookmaker Paddy Power, we have another new potential origin to add to the list: soccer players.

As a part of a unique ad campaign, the two companies have teamed up to set the odds of the zombie outbreak starting when soccer player Luis Suarez (notorious for biting other players during games) sinks his teeth into a player during the upcoming Barcelona vs. Real Madrid game. They have set the odds on which player (50 to 1 on Madrid’s center back Pepe), where he will bite them (varying from 33 to 1 on arm or shoulder to 100 to 1 on his foot) and even whether or not the bite will start an epidemic (500 to 1 odds). Check out the full odds below.

When will Suarez bite a player?

100/1 0.01 to 23.00 minutes

33/1 23.01 to end of first half

Although it is just a joke, it is a very well-researched one. It seems that Paddy Power actually crunched the numbers and tried to put up believable odds. Techland’s Dying Light is releasing on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on January 27, 2015.

Our Take

I don’t follow soccer very closely so I didn’t get the joke at first, but it is certainly a unique ad campaign. If you are a fan of soccer let me know in the comments if this joke is great or a dud.
