Everything You Wanted to Bet on but Were Afraid to

Not a sports fan? Are you tired of Texas Hold ‘Em but still like online gambling? There are websites that offer a host of other options, offering anything and everything you’ve always wanted to bet on but were afraid to.

Readers

Book worms can bet on which character or characters will die in the next Harry Potter book. WagerWeb.com is offering odds of +4000 (bet $100 to win $4000 profit) that it’ll be the Weasley Twins. They are offering +300 that Harry and Lord Voldemort are the two that will die. Bodog.com lists odds of 25 to 1 that Professor McGonagall will be the first to perish and 1 to 1 odds that Harry will.

When anticipated books are near their release date, there are often bets and odds available for the number sold on opening weekend, the final title (if not yet announced) and plots.

Music Lovers

Do you think you know whether or not Guns N’ Roses will release an album in 2006? Will Lordi wear masks to the 2006 President’s Ball in Finland? While you can bet for or against either of these events, the odds makers are claiming neither will happen. You can bet on the top selling artist, group and album expected for the current year at Bodog.com.

Celebrity Gossipers

If you are a person who follows all the Hollywood hype, you might enjoy betting on the wacky outcomes. At Bodog.com, you can wager on whether or not Paris Hilton will be engaged by the end of 2006. You can also lay down some money on who she’ll fight first – Nicole Richie or Lindsay Lohan.

WagerWeb.com offers odds on celebrity break-ups. Will Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt outlast Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? Do you think Madonna and Guy Richie are going to make it? Place your bets online or use the odds to set up an office pool.

Reality Shows

If you enjoy watching reality shows like Big Brother, America's Got Talent or Project Runway, imagine how much more fun they would be if you had $100 riding on the winner. You can bet on reality show events, winners and outcomes. Who will be the first graduate of the Starting Over house in the upcoming season? Who will win Fox’s Hells Kitchen or Treasure Hunters? While you might not have the chance to compete, you could win hundreds or thousands of dollars by wagering on these and other reality TV shows.

Political Pundits

Are you a political pundit and have a strong view about how world affairs will be handled? When George W. Bush and John Kerry were running for the US presidency, the betting odds more accurately reflected the actual outcome than polls of the American public.

Not only can you bet on when Osama bin Laden will be caught (dead or alive), you can also bet on whether or not bin Laden will be captured before Jimmy Hoffa’s body is discovered. You can also wager on which countries will overthrow their governments and which country is most likely to become allied with the US. Other political bets you can make online include which laws will pass, who will win senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial races in the US and world government elections as well.

Other bets

Extreme weather, like hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes may be acts of God but betting on them is an act of Man. Where the next one will hit, its size and the cost are all up for bets at various websites. If you prefer a larger wager, you can actually bet on whether or not the universe will eventually collapse.

Do you like numbers? You can bet on when the next prime number will be found. Enjoy the Olympics? Not only can you bet on events, you can bet on the host cities for the 2012 and 2014 Olympic Games.

Those who enjoy watching the justice system at work might like placing a few dollars on whether Netflix will prevail over Blockbuster. Will Friendster file a lawsuit against MySpace? Will Scooter Libby be found guilty? What about Tom Delay?

Far beyond sports and casino games, you can wager money on almost any event. The Internet offers anything and everything you’ve always wanted to bet on but were afraid to. Search for “political prop bets” or whatever it is you are looking to place money on
