The guy has two previous suspensions for biting... 4 games and 8 games. I think this third incident deserved at least a year suspension, if not more.

If he does it again, then I think they'll have to be more severe...they can't NOT ban him for another incident.

A Norwegian man has won 17,000 kroner (£2,000, $2,850) after betting that striker Luis Suarez would bite someone during the World Cup.

Online bookmaker Betsafe had been offering odds of 175/1 that the Uruguayan would attack an opponent in Brazil.
...
Richard Helmersen, 24, who originally put down 100 kroner (£10, $16), told Norway's NRK he wanted to "say thank you to Luis Suarez".
