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

Dance With The Stars / So You Think You Can Dance Bets
Today, Bodog.com posted odds on two of the most popular reality television series of the summer: So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars.
The online sportsbook, casino and poker site, now considered the “go to” source for television proposition bets, has seen a surge in the amount of betting on summer reality shows.
“At first, critics expected both of these shows to be highly underwhelming,” says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com. “It turns out that these shows defied odds and became two of the summer’s biggest television hits.”
For Fox TV’s So You Think You Can Dance, 16 candidates – all of whom are skilled in numerous types of dances, such as ballroom, salsa and jive – are randomly paired, and asked to perform a pre-selected style of dance. Each dance pair has one week to practice their routine before being judged by the viewing audience. The show’s popularity has rapidly grown, and the remaining episodes will see the dancers compete for the title of “best dancer”. Currently, the favorite is Blake McGrath at 2/1 odds.
ABC’s Dancing with the Stars series, which had 22 million viewers tune in to its summer season finale, recently announced a re-match dance between Kelly Monaco ( General Hospital ) and John O’Hurley ( Seinfeld ) to determine, once again, who should be crowned the best celebrity dancer.
The show stirred some debate this summer after Kelly Monaco was named its winner. Her competitor, O’Hurley, was expected to win because Monaco’s run to the title was less than ideal. O’Hurley’s fans questioned the judges’ motives, and rumors of manipulation ensued. General Hospital, which features Monaco in the role of Samantha McCall, also airs on the ABC network. The “dance-off” is set for Sept. 20.
