Online gambling
odds in Jackson's favor - now.
May 24
Alright, just when we
thought there wasn't anything else to wager on
at our favorite online gambling site, here's
Michael.
Yes, Michael Jackson.
Even better - most online gambling sportsbooks
say an acquittal is in the cards. True, before
the defense team got a hold on the case, we all
thought we would see Michael in prison with no
make-up and his natural hair growing out again.
We
must trust that the legal system will prevail.
If Michael is innocent, he deserves to be
vindicated. Well, now that the new craze of
betting at online casino sportsbooks for the
outcome of just about anything is taking shape,
many online gamblers want a piece of the pie.
These days it seems like
the media has taken everyday events into the
online gambling world. We all know that gambling
online is exciting and very convenient. Now we
can wager on more than online casino games. Why
not? Right?
The trial is now nearing
its finale
,
online gambling sites are being pelted with
wagers on the Jackson case.
Yesterday at Tradesports.com, odds of a
conviction for at least one count of molestation
were holding steady at 43%. Meaning online
bettors who purchase a wager for 43 bucks could
win 100 bucks if a guilty verdict id given - if
an acquittal is handed down - the bettor would
lose the 43 bucks.
It really is a brilliant
situation, now that we can wager online for more
than the typical boxing matches, horse races,
and online casino games - many more types of
online gamblers will come out of the wood-work.
Most online sportsbooks
are offering similar odds. The market has gone
back and forth. In the beginning, when the
prosecution was stating it's case, odds were
against Jackson receiving an acquittal, and now
that the defense is working it's case, the odds
are now in favor of an acquittal.
The only remaining
question is - will Michael bet for or against
himself?
