The Festival Series Hospitality Prop bet – Tee Off with a Twist
The Festival Series has organized five stops to date - two in Bratislava, one in Nottingham, England, one in Malta in May of this year, and one in Tallinn last year. Tallinn, in fact, is the place and city from which the original idea and concept of The Festival Series originated. The concept, which emphasizes not only poker but also the friendly and enjoyable conduct of various special events. Many of you have probably visited us and seen what happens during the hospitality events. In addition to tea drinking, bowling games, or axe throwing, one way to have fun is through various side bets.
And who else could make slightly eccentric bets if not our very own spiritual leader and teacher, Franke? Franke is known for his unique and unconventional approach to wagers. He never shies away from the unusual and is always ready to take on challenges that others might consider absurd. From predicting the outcome of bizarre events to betting on the most unexpected scenarios, Franke has a knack for making things interesting and entertaining. With Franke around, you can expect the unexpected and witness the birth of legendary wagers that will be talked about for years to come. So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride filled with laughter, astonishment, and, of course, unforgettable bets crafted by the master of unconventional gambling.
One of our previous Franke side bets has been described here, but today a new exciting venture has been planned and will take place this Thursday at Rae Golf in Estonia.
Golf Showdown: Franke vs Andro - Who´s the Ace of the Greens?
Two old friends, Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk, the creator of The Festival Series, and Andro Loos, the former project manager of the Cashgame Festival, met one peaceful afternoon in Amsterdam, where Andro brought up golf and claimed to be very good at it. Franke, who has played golf only about three times in his life, the last time being nearly 15 years ago, didn't believe in Andro's skills. After a passionate conversation lasting a couple of hours, they conclude that they should hit the golf course and see who is the real tiny version of Tiger Woods. In the video below, you can see the bet they made and what they will be playing for.
Franke: "I've known Andro for over ten years, and in my opinion, he's a guy who always gets involved in various endeavors, but ultimately, the only thing he's been really successful at is making babies. In golf, he doesn't stand a chance against me because the last time I played golf, I did it so well that ever since then, I receive calls from the PGA about joining the Golf Hall of Fame. So far, I haven't accepted their offer, but after defeating Andro, I can easily consider stepping next to Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Ben Hogan."
Andro: "I'm probably not the first or the last to challenge Franke, knowing full well that he has no chance of winning this bet honestly. I'm prepared for the fact that the referee has been bribed, that the golf course turns into an ice rink, and that we have to play on skates. And somehow, my hole-in-one shots end up in the bunker ten meters away from the green when they should be right in the hole."
Coolbet offers an additional opportunity to cheer for the game by participating in betting and making predictions.
To ensure that the bet doesn't remain just a discussion between the two men, our good and long-standing partner Coolbet was also involved. They kindly agreed to open the betting lines for this bet. You can learn more about them HERE.

If you also have a dream of playing padel with a snow shovel or running for 24 hours without the ice cubes in your hands melting away, feel free to contact us, and we guarantee that we will provide you with Franke's contact details. As a famous man once said, there are no impossible bets, only wrong tools for accomplishing them. We'll see you soon at the poker tables or, in this case, with many of you on the golf course this Thursday.
