Aftermath of A-Roid – Props on Fans Reactions

A-Rod on ‘Roids? Let’s Bet on It!

Okay, so there’s probably not a way to make a lot of profit betting on some of the stranger wagers that the BetOnline Sportsbook offers.

Real bettors know that most profits are made on making bets on football games, horse races, baseball games and basketball games. But it is fun to throw a few bucks behind some crazy props regarding a pop culture issue once in a while.

Why not? Who said that gambling had to always be about against the spread lines, a sharpened pencil, a dark room and old guys who refuse to use computers?

Let’s have some fun and analyze a few of the “A-Roid” props.

A-Roid Props – - Pop Culture Gambling

What’s Next for A-Fraud?

Leaves country 30/1

Retires 100/1

Records stricken from books 8/1

Records given an asterisk 4/1

Starts a pharmaceutical company 80/1

Makes hall of fame 10/1

Wins MVP 15/1

Wins world series 3/1

Stars in Madonna video 10/1

Marries Madonna 15/1

Analysis: Well, he’s not going to win the MVP. That has to be the biggest underlay I’ve seen in gambling this year! I mean, the guy’s a cheater. So what if he admitted to it. Selig the idiot can’t allow him to win an MVP when guys like Mark McGwire aren’t in the Hall. Because the Yankees have signed Mark Texeira, I have the feeling that A-Rod has a terrible season and nobody cares. I don’t think he gets into the Hall of Fame either. The Madonna bets actually make sense, from a goofy perspective, and why not open a pharmaceutical company? There’s way more money it, that’s for sure! He could retire but why retire when half the league took ‘roids and nobody care about them? Let’s look at this from a real gambling stand-point. A-Fraud is still part of the Yankees. The Yankees should still win the World Series. +300 on that is a real bet. I also like the idea of putting an asterisk near his records in the history books. It’s only fair.

Pick: A-Fraud to win the World Series with the Yankees at 3/1 and to get the lovely asterisk at 4/1

Item most likely thrown at A-Rod:

Batteries 18/1

Pizza 2/1

Burger 7/1

Popcorn 3/1

Hot Dog/Corn Dog 5/1

Soda/Water 2/1

Juice 5/2

Ice Cream 12/1

Peanuts 4/1

Pretzels 6/1

Beer 3/1

Cotton Candy 8/1

Coffee 10/1

Analysis: Okay, here’s a real bet that we can make that could provide some dough! Beer and soda/water are underlay wagers at 3/1 and 2/1. Coffee has to be considered at 10/1. Maybe there’s a real crazy coffee drinker out there who would love to scold A-Fraud as he walks up to the batter’s box. I like the idea of throwing peanuts at him. There’s an outside chance of him contracting salmonella. Some Boston fan has though of that even though it’s a ridiculous notion. I promise. Ice cream would be cool because then it would like he had…okay, that’s gross. Popcorn and cotton candy are weak. Fans might has well tuck him in and kiss him good night after the game. I’m going with heavy food. I love the idea of A-Fraud getting smacked in the face with a big, large hot dog smothered with relish. Also, the burger thing is cool. I think the pizza idea is awesome. Think of it this way – - if you’re going to throw something at a player, you have to have some weight behind it, right? And you don’t mind parting with it, right? But you don’t want to kill the guy so the battery is out. Beer costs a lot at stadiums these days. That stuff is like gold. In this economy, the fans will part with their food before parting with their alcohol. I’m going for it!

Pick: Pizza at 2/1, Burger at 7/1 and Hot Dog/Corn Dog at 5/1
