Proposition Betting - Some Unusual Odds from the World of Entertainment

When it comes to betting, some people aren't content to simply wager on sporting events. That's why numerous sportsbooks also accept bets on celebrities, television, and films. While this certainly makes things more interesting, it can also lead to some downright bizarre proposition bets. For example....

Over at Bodog there's a heavy emphasis on the outcome of shows like Survivor, American Idol, and The Apprentice. However, you can still wager on plenty of bizarre events and outcomes.

1. Will Heather Mills' prosthetic leg fall off during a dance routine on Dancing with the Stars 4? (Yes +575, No -1200)
   
2. Will a contestant throw up on stage during American Idol? (Yes +300)
   
3. Who will father Britney Spears' next baby? (Bill Clinton 25/1, President Bush 31/1, Hugh Hefner 12/1, Mel Gibson 31/1, and many others to choose from)
   

In fact, Britney Spears seems to be a very popular candidate for celebrity propositions. Just check out a few of the wagers available at one of the other sportsbooks:

1. Britney will get back together with Justin Timberlake (+1000).
   
2. She will come out as a lesbian (+200).
   
3. She will become a Hare Krishna (+5000).
   
4. She will marry Michael Jackson (+15000).
   
5. She will attempt a sex change (+2500).

But there's more to bet on than just busty blondes with questionable musical talent. Another site is currently offering odds on which 2 Harry Potter characters will die in the upcoming final book of the series. A few of the options are:

1. Harry Potter and Professor Snape (+700)
   
2. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley (+900)
   
3. Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort (+300)
   
4. The Weasley Twins (+4000)
   
5. Remus Lupin and Percy Weasley (+2800)

There are many more like those listed above, but I won't spoil them all for you. After all, half the fun is tracking them down and laughing at the sheer absurdity of some of the possibilities. Just imagine a world where Britney Spears announces that she's pregnant with Bill Clinton's baby, only to shock everyone by then attempting a sex change!

Come to think of it, that world would be pretty damn cool.
