Betsafe Pits Man City, Saracens Players Against Each Other In Video Series

Online bookmaker Betsafe is "aiming to establish once and for all which sport involves greater skill, football or rugby," in a video content series featuring players from Man City and Premiership Rugby side Saracens, according to Simon Gwynn of CAMPAIGN LIVE. Players from the clubs will take place in a "series of challenges including aiming kicks into a 20m high crane, taking shots at goal in the face of a wind machine, and catching balls through a wall of smoke." The campaign, "Overcome the odds," was created by Betsafe with Fuse and Pretty Green. It features Man City's Sergio Agüero, Fernandinho, Nicolás Otamendi and Danilo, with Saracens represented by Jamie George, Schalk Burger, Ben Spencer and Richard Barrington. Each team is captained by a former player: Shay Given for Man City and Jim Hamilton for Saracens (CAMPAIGN LIVE, 1/8).
