MLB Prop Betting: Barry Bonds Homerun Record

READ MORE: Barry Bonds, MLB Betting, Prop Bets

bonds1.jpgSo, the boys at BetUS.com are obviously rabid baseball fans and follow the game closely—why else would they offer a prop bet on Barry Bonds breaking Babe Ruth’s homerun record with less than a week left in the regular season? The juice, man. The juice. If you plunk down $100 on Barry Bonds with his bad knees, bad attitude and part-time playing status to hit seven homeruns over the weekend, well, you’ll win $800. If you plunk down $2000 on him NOT breaking the record, well, congrats. You win $100. Drinks are on us. AGAIN.

MLB Betting: Betting On Palmeiro’s Future

rafael_palmeiro_orioles3.jpgUtterly reprehensible “Future Hall of Fame” baseball player Rafael Palmeiro(who did not take steroids) has his future laid out for the gambling masses as WagerWeb.com is offering props on whether or not the mustache afficionado will ever play baseball again—earplugs or not. The sportsbook is fairly confident that Raffy will hole himself up someplace on Scott Norwood island until the public scrutiny and his personal shame go away. Odds of Raffy retiring 1/8 and the odds of him playing next season for some unlucky team are 6/1. Never rule out the Yankees, however, who love reclamation projects and bats off the bench. So, a $100 bet on him playing next season is not completely out of the question.

NCAA Betting: Prop Bets Make the World Much Better

s016-bowljp-1203n-2.jpgHow many yards will USC’s Matt Leinart pass for? How many rushing yards will Texas quarterback Vince Young rush for? Will Dave Wannstedt’s mustache catch on fire before Pitt’s first home game? Okay, that one isn’t available. But the first two plus more NCAA football prop bets are available at Bodog and there is some pretty good value there. Leinart to go between 3,200 and 3,2999 passing yards at 10/1 is enough to throw a bean at, wethinks.

Derek Lee is not a man to mess with when it comes to the Triple Crown race. Yeah, he stinks right now, but we still think he has enough left hin him to follow-through and win this thing. Don’t think so? Ask Eric Karabell, dork of the ESPN fantasy crew to clarify.
