Do you allow yourself to bet on ridiculous things?

Absolutely never - the clue is in the question "ridiculous" and in the thread title
"impossible". They are impossible for a reason or maybe they could be classed as a "rarity"

A driver, Nico Hulkenberg, started at 19th place. To set the picture, this driver made his debut in Formula 1 way back 2010. He has had 238 race starts and yet he has never finished on the podium. At age 37, he is the driver with most race starts without a podium but last Sunday it finally changed. From 19th, he finished 3rd. The entire community was happy for him even those who are not his fans. It is insane to me that he basically did what seemed the impossible.

So a couple of questions arise because of this scenario.

Did anyone bet on Hulkenberg at the start of the race to reach the podium? I would
say no.

Will anyone bet on him to reach the podium in the following race? maybe a few
I would say.

I would say a number of things happened in that race which wouldnt normally
happen and may never happen again which aided Hulkenberg to get his
podium, kind of like "a freak of nature"
