You have to just love hearing online casino betting stories that refer to sports stars – off the field. This is a story about online casino wagering, but it is not about which team will win or which player will hit a home run – it’s an online casino betting story about Barry Bonds and whether he will get slammed with a suspension from the drug related issue that are following him every where he goes.

Sportbook.com, one of the biggest online casino sportsbooks, is posting odds on whether the baseball star will get suspended surrounding the performance enhancing drug issue that has been plaguing him. The proposition at hand is whether he will be suspended by the Major League Baseball in 2006. This is all stemming from Bud Selig's revelation of an impending investigation into the possible use of steroids.

Hey, why not take a break from typical online casino sports wagering and bet on something a little different? After all, many online casinos sports fans are tuckered after the massive amounts of online wagers from March Madness and an incredible Final Four turn out.

The San Francisco Giants just began their 2006 MLB season. Instead of game play action, many online casinos players are looking to place bets on a different aspect of the season- steroids. After all, the season is just starting and the real action is off in the distance. Nonetheless, this is an interesting way to start the season off for many online wager fans.

While Bonds is clearly the Major League’s current biggest star, there is a chance he will be benched until the controversy is figured out and thoroughly investigated. Odds makers are already looking for a season of intense situations – this is the first controversy to come out of the gates.

Currently, odds posted at Sportsbook.com are in favor of Bonds not getting suspended. So, if he is suspended, those who bet this way stand to make a bit of cash. But, due to the fact that there really weren’t any regulations to stop the use of performance enhancing drugs at the time Bonds is suspected to have used them, there is a pretty good chance that he will not receive a suspension. Than again, some feel that the Major League could be out to set an example. This could be an interesting story to follow for many online casinos sports fans.

Whatever happens, online casino players know that the MLB has a big issue to solve. Will Selig suspend Bonds or not?

Currently, if online casino players bet a hundred bucks that Bonds gets a suspension and he is in fact suspended – the online casino bettor stands to win a $250 pay out. On the other hand, online casino bettors will have to bet $350 to win $100 if they bet that he will not get a suspension – and he does not get one.

If you are the betting type, but do not care for the steroids issue – look for other very interesting odds offered at Sportsbook.com regarding Bonds. Bets like – how many home runs he will hit in the 2006 season and more.
