Bet on Ebert and Roeper's reviews
Two thumbs up at the movies could mean a fistful of dollars for bettors.
This week, Bodog.com has started to offer wagers on whether Chicago Sun-Times film critics Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper will give favorable, mixed or unfavorable reviews during their weekly syndicated television show.
"In providing a narrative critique, filled with lively debate and sometimes even a little lighthearted banter, film critics Ebert and Roeper have become a pop-culture phenomenon," says Bodog.com's Founder and CEO Calvin Ayre, who recently starred in a major network television show of his own, Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker Series .
Bettors can begin making their predictions on how movies will fare with this week's episode of "Ebert & Roeper", which will feature reviews of "The Omen" and "The Break-up". The maximum amount that can be wagered on Bodog.com's novelty props is $100.
The odds for "The Omen" in the Bodog.com Sportsbook are:
Two Thumbs Up - 1/1
Two Thumbs Down - 3/2
Split Decision - 8/5
For "The Break-up", the odds are:
Two Thumbs Up - 9/5
Two Thumbs Down - 3/2
Split Decision - 1/1
"The Omen" is a remake of the 1976 horror classic that starred Gregory Peck. The updated version premieres on Tuesday and stars Julia Stiles as the mother of the devil child named Damien.
In "The Break-up", which opens on June 9, Jennifer Aniston stars with off-screen love interest Vince Vaughn in a romantic comedy.

Who's Next to Sport 007's Tuxedo?
The 21st James Bond film, Casino Royale, is slated to hit the big screen in 2006, and the odds are out on which actor will have the privilege of introducing himself as “Bond, James Bond.”
Croatian-born actor Goran Visnjic leads the pack as the 2/1 favorite. Visnjic, who is best known for his portrayal of Dr. Luka Kovac, a Croatian doctor in the popular television series ER , made his American motion-picture debut in the critically acclaimed drama Welcome to Sarajevo. In 2001, Visnjic starred opposite Tilda Swinton in the popular film The Deep End.
In close competition with him are actors Alex O’Lachlan (Feed) at 3/1 odds, and Ewan Stewart ( Titanic ) and Henry Cavill ( The Count of Monte Cristo ) at 4/1. Fan favorites Clive Owen (Sin City), Daniel Craig ( Road to Perdition ) and Dougray Scott (M:I-2) are at 5/1. The list of candidates is rounded out with Colin Farrell (Alexander) at 9/1, Jude Law (Closer) at 15/1, and Rupert Everett ( Separate Lies ) at 100/1 odds.
Pierce Brosnan held the lead role in the past four Bond films, but producers reportedly axed him after initially offering him the chance to return. Brosnan was the fifth man to portray the debonair secret agent 007 in the film series.

Betting On Oil Prices
Bodog.com added to its list of oil and gas wagers, a bet on whether the price per gallon of gas would reach a national average price of US $2.70 by January 1, 2006.
Bodog.com has seen 75% of its bettors back the price per gallon of gas reaching a national average of US $2.70 for self-serve regular. The average price of gasoline surged to more than $2.49 a gallon at week’s end. Chicago alone saw the price per gallon rise to US $2.64.
“As betting patterns are great indicators of the public mindset, we can say without doubt that the consumers expect fuel costs to rise substantially in the coming months,” says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com. “The jump at the pump comes at the heels of a hike in crude oil prices, which reached around US $67 per barrel last week.”
Last week, Bodog.com received a record amount of betting action on the price per barrel of oil. 80% of bettors backed the price of crude oil reaching US $70 per barrel by year-end.
“Only a week ago, when the price per barrel was at $62, we posted odds on the possibility of the price per barrel reaching $70. We learned pretty quickly that consumers are bracing themselves for skyrocketing oil prices,” says Ayre.
With a voracious demand for oil from the United States and other growing economies such as China and India, the supply for this valuable commodity is falling short of adequate sustainable levels.
The price per gallon of gas has come close to breaking the record set during the Iranian Revolution, when a gallon of gas cost about $3 in today's dollars.For the most up-to-date odds, see http://www.bodog.com/sports-betting/non-sports-events.jsp
