The Rabona bet, also known as the "up and over," is an exotic soccer bet that involves predicting the outcome of a specific action during a match. This unique bet type offers the potential for significant returns but also carries a high level of risk.
A Rabona bet is placed on the occurrence of a Rabona, which is a trick shot in soccer where the player wraps their standing leg around their kicking leg to strike the ball. This unconventional technique is named after the Argentine winger, Juan Román Riquelme, who popularized the move.
The most common Rabona bet is on whether a player will successfully execute a Rabona during the match. However, some bookmakers also offer variations on this bet, such as predicting the player who will score a Rabona goal or the time frame in which the Rabona will occur.
The odds for a Rabona bet vary depending on the bookmaker and the perceived likelihood of the event occurring. Typically, the odds are quite high, as Rabonas are relatively rare.
For example, Bet365 offers odds of 50.00 for a Rabona to be scored in any match between two top-tier teams. This means that if you bet $10 on a Rabona to be scored, you could potentially win $500.

Story 1: The Unforgettable Rabona
