Celebrity Betting: How Much Will Britney’s Rhinestone Tit Purse Go For?

READ MORE: Bra, Britney Spears, Celebrity Betting, Ebay, Prop Bet

BritneySpearsPhotoPC3.jpgThe leprechaunic sportsbooks at Paddy Power are still obsessing over anything that has to with Britney Spears and are taking their own Jameson-sodded mania one step further with their latest prop bet:
How much will Britney’s Bra Go For On eBay? Spears is auctioning off her rhinestone bra plus other less exciting items on eBay to Hurricane Katrina victims in Mississippi. Paddy Power has set the bar high—with prices from $30,000 to $100,000 on the board. The favorites are $70,000 to $80,000 at 3/1. Apparently, Paddy Power thinks there are plenty of wealthy bra-sniffing perverts willing to plop down a healthy five-figures because the underdog bet is $30,000 to $35,000 at 25/1. The eBay auction closes in three days so get your bets in now or miss out on the mammary madness.

Good Things Happen to Those Who Puke

READ MORE: Brad Penny, Prop Bet, Ridiculous Wagering

Splash2_1280.jpgThe Florida Marlins’ batboy who lost a clubhouse bet with Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitcher Brad Penny about whether or not he could drink a gallon of milk in an hour for $500 was suspended by the Marlins for six games. The teenager, who embarrassingly vomited all over himself trying to win the bet, was pretty upset over the suspension, and is now fielding numerous offers from organizations looking to capitalize on his fleeting fame. But Bestline sportsbook has come up with an offer to trump all others:

Bestline Sports is publicly offering the suspended Marlins batboy free vacation to Panama and a chance to repeat his tremendous milk drinking effort to win five times the original dare money.

Right now, GoldenPalace.com is scrambling to either make a counter-offer or purchase the boy’s vomit on eBay.

MLB Betting: Pumping Up the Giambi Juice

READ MORE: Jason Giambi, MLB Betting, Prop Bet, Steroids

giambi5.jpgNew York Yankees’ first baseman Jason Giambi may have bounced back from his poor play thought to be the results of his new steroid free lifestyle, however the bookmakers at WagerWeb still see Giambi as the next major leaguer to get pinched for steroids. Giambi is getting -300 odds thanks in part to his remarkable July power surge and, well, the fact that he’s already been busted once before. Other major leaguers include Houston Astros’ pitcher Roger Clemens at +200, Baltimore Orioles’ incredible shrinking outfielder Sammy Sosa at +300, and Detroit Tigers’ catcher Ivan Rodriguez at +400.

NHL Props: Let the Unwieldy Sidney Crosby Hype Begin

READ MORE: Alexander Ovechkin, NHL Betting, Prop Bet, Sidney Crosby

CROSBY.jpgIt must be so much pressure being an athletic prodigy. It’s never enough to be a good player—you must be great, shatter every record, and win championships every year. And you must also not impregnate harems of women, get drunk, get into fist fights, or have an affinity for zebra sex. This is the life new Pittsburgh Penguins’ center Sidney Crosby has endured and will have fully realized once the NHL offically kicks off its season. And, of course, to add to the pressure he’s heavily favored in a head-to-head prop bet on Bodog between fellow Washington Capitals’rookie Alexander Ovechkin (who???)for most points scored this season. Crosby is slated as -160 with Ovechkin at +120.
