meet Bodog Sports:
Bodog allows you to gamble on nearly any sport from pro football to college baseball to international rugby. Not only can you gamble on ncaa/pro sports but you can also gamble on celebrity props such as what color eyes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's kid will be born with, or who will win the next American Idol. You can even bet on who will win the next U.S. Presidential Election. My favorite facet is how you can bet on other people playing poker (this almost makes watching poker on espn2 exciting!) This also means that you can now lose all your money in your living room on Charles Barkley folding on the 'river' card.
Such new technology gives old-time sports-betters the 24/7 accessibility to sports books that they've always wanted (not to mention the ease of finding odds, team/player stats, and all-time records). In addition, it captures young gamblers by having an attractive interface and marketing scheme. Yesterday, I was at Brann's Steakhouse on Leonard St. and they have a poster above the urinal in the men's room, which displays a MMA fighter and a fancy slogan for Bodog's website. Various other bars around town also advertise bodog's entire organization. They do offer more other than sports gambling; such as, fantasy sports, music, and video channels.
Lastly, this gives the typical sports fan a whole new perspective on sports. It opens up a lot of windows and I assume that investors will capitalize on this venture.
