During the Super Bowl (at about halftime, IIRC), tennis star Eugenie Bouchard accepted a bet on Twitter: if the New England Patriots won, she'd go on a date with student John Goehrke.
Well, they went on that date yesterday.
And it seems that the date wasn't unpleasant - they have a second date planned.
Obviously, the Aesop here is "bet on the long shot".
