We've all made daft bets we come to regret - nowadays they all seem to be on Twitter.
The app should come with a 'do you really want to tweet this' warning at the very least, if not a full scale breathalyser to stop people tweeting silly bets.

Gerard Pique put a quite-spectacular effort up the other day after seeing the strange scoreline coincidence in Serie A over the weekend, according to the Mirror.
With four games finishing 2-2, the Barcelona star posted that if the day's final two games - Lazio vs Udinese and Inter vs AC Milan - finished with the same score, he would buy everyone who retweeted him a Barca shirt.

Luckily for him, fate wasn't on the side of the fans and Lazio saw off Udinese 2-0 and Inter beat AC Milan 1-0.
