The victory of the favorite team is the most important ting for every football fan. But, sometimes, even the fans don’t share the same opinion about what is more valuable: to win at all costs or to win, but only after a fair and beautiful game.
It was the polemics on this issue that provoked Levski’s general sponsor – Palms Bet, to seek an unequivocal answer, which is more important: victory at any cost or honest victory. The answer is found quite easily and logically in the words of Georgi Asparuhov – the legend of the blue club. One of Gundy’s most popular quotes states that every athlete and person should follow a simple maxim: ” Allways fight for a beautiful, fair victory.”
The fair victory, both in sports and in life, is much more difficult to achieve than a victory for which you use illegal means. But the destiny has shown many times that victory at any price can lead to unpleasant consequences. That’s why remind that the fair play is responsible play.

This is an axiom for the way of life, to get pleasure from the game, but without forgetting that winning does not have to be at any cost and that it is the responsible game that truly brings fun and entertainment.
