23 year old
Danica
Patrick has
caused quite
an interest
for online
gambling
wagers for
this year's
Indy 500
race.
After noticing a
rather high
amount of
requests from
the online
gambling
community,
Bodog.com gave
the female
rookie 13-1 odds
on winning the
race. Because so
much interest
was generated
from her
entering the
race, the online
gambling
sportsbook
received just
about 3 times
the amount of
wagers than it
did for the same
race last year.
The real story
here is that
online sports
wagering and
even online
wagering on just
about anything
happening in the
news is white
hot.
Last week,
online casino
sportsbooks took
in large amounts
of wagers on the
American Idol
wager. These
days, if it is
in the news and
being followed,
you can bet on
it online.
Most online
gambling
sportsbooks are
reporting that
they took in
four times the
amount of wagers
on Danika
Patrick than
they did for any
other drivers
(combined) in
this past
weekend's race
held in
Indianapolis.
For all you
media and sports
junkies out
there, keep an
eye on your
favorite online
gambling site
for odds on many
popular events -
not just sports.
