BetUS, a sports betting company, is hosting an unconventional contest that invites people to name New York City street rats after their former partners. Timed ahead of Valentine’s Day, the contest has already attracted nationwide attention, with over 500 stories of toxic relationships submitted. BetUS aims to compile these tales into a “Rat Roster,” creating an imaginary basketball team lineup of cartoon rats named after the most notorious exes.
The company bets that scorned individuals harbor enough animosity towards their past partners to participate in this unique revenge scheme. Chloe, a 33-year-old air steward from Chelsea, recounted her six-month relationship woes to her colleagues, illustrating just one of many narratives contributing to this creative endeavor. Meanwhile, Molly, 32, from Brooklyn, experienced a shocking revelation when her boyfriend mysteriously vanished after a bathroom visit.
“Twenty minutes later I went to check on him to discover he’d left,” – Molly.
Her discovery that he was simultaneously dating two other women left Molly stunned. Catherine, 35, from the Bronx, shared how her manipulative ex exploited her financially while being unfaithful.
“I did a lot for him, I did everything he ever wanted, even gave my own money when he didn’t have any out of love for him,” – Catherine.
“Not even a week after breaking up and he’s in a new relationship with the person he cheated on me.” – Catherine.
Despite the betrayal, Catherine maintains a sense of vindication.
“He had a small d–k and the sex was horrible, so the joke's on him,” – Catherine.
Similarly, Roxxy, 28, from Brooklyn, was deceived by someone she believed she was exclusively dating. To her dismay, she discovered that her ex was involved with another woman concurrently. These stories represent only a fraction of the submissions BetUS received from New Yorkers.
The sportsbook provided The Post with their selections of the most egregious ex-stories. Participants hope that naming rats after their exes will offer some form of cathartic release. With Valentine's Day approaching, this contest may serve as an unusual outlet for those seeking closure from past heartaches.
