I assume a few years back this deal would of cost a bit more to Interwetten when Wolfsburg have been one of the well financed and really strong Bundesliga sides but nowadays they just looking to survive in the top tier of German football, of course it doesn't mean that this deal still wouldn't be a beneficial one for the bookie.
