Entertainment Betting: If You Bet on Two For The Money?

READ MORE: Bodog, Entertainment Betting, Two For the Money

Next Friday gamblers and Pacino fans will have their deepest desires filled when Two For the Money is released on October 7th letting everybody who ever did a Scarface impersonation after winning an office pool feel like the screenwriters had them in mind. And also, Bodog, our not-so-proud sponsor and hand that rocks the cradle, is offering odds on how much this lil’ cock-a-roach will make at the box office opening weekend. Right now, OVER $20 million is the favorite at -130 with UNDER $20 million available for -110. The way Bodog is promoting the shit out of the movie—their TFTM ads are almost as overwhelming as Bodog’s are here on Oddjack—could there be any possibility that Bodog had to make a big box-office draw on opening weekend the favorite? Suspicious? Hmm.
We wouldn’t be surprised if Bodog CEO(and P.Diddy’s bestest friend) Calvin Ayre didn’t have a cameo in it.

Entertainment Betting: Dancing With the Stars Now More Interesting Than Boxing

READ MORE: Dancing With the Stars, Entertainment Betting

Think Hagler vs. Leonard. Bowe vs. Holyfield. Ward vs. Gatti…and now Monaco vs. O’Hurley. No lines are released yet, but boy will they ever, now that ABC has announced a stunning “dance off” between soap star Kelly Monaco and Seinfeld star John O’Hurley, the two finalists from this past summer’s hit Dancing With the Stars. This could possibly be the biggest reality tv betting event of the year. After massive protest from viewers about the results of the event—which saw the heavily favored O’Hurley lose to Monaco on the final episode—ABC has decided to capitalize and let the two cha-cha the crap out of each other in a bare-knuckle rematch. Early lines will most likely favor O’Hurley again, but if he wins, we could see this becoming one of these ongoing epic battles that could span over a decade.
