Is It Possible to Guess Lebron's Future?
Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 1:59 PMWritten by Daniel OSportsbooks have become a place to bet not only on sports. With
TV Series and Award Ceremonies, politics
and ... you name it, betting on anything anytime is a matter of fact.
Which is why the following comment from
Bodog bookmaker Richard Gardner, reported on ESPN with regard to the Lebron James
Free Agency Countdown, is especially interesting. Seems as if
sportsbooks
have given up on handicapping
this event.
This is what Bodog write to Chad Millman of ESPN:
"It is not worth the risk as a book manager to throw
something like this up."
Gardner continued saying: "Calculating odds on
something like this is like trying to run live odds on the 100[-meter] dash at
the Olympic games and is definitely one of the toughest things I have had to
deal with in my years in bookmaking."
