betED: The Line #53
This week we shine the spotlight on a pair of Major League Baseball games, a NASCAR race, and for those football fans who can?t wait until the NFL starts, a pair of games from the Canadian Football League, which kicked off its season Thursday. In the MLB, it?s the Texas Rangers at the Boston Red Sox, and the San Diego Padres at the LA Dodgers, both games on Friday. In NASCAR, it?s the Lennox Industrial Tools 300 on Sunday. In the CFL, the Saskatchewan Roughriders play the Montreal Alouettes on Friday, and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats take on the Calgary Stampeders Saturday. In Hot Props, Paris Hilton is out of jail ? what will she do next?

HOT PROPS
Paris Hilton is free from jail and vowing to be a fine, upstanding citizen for the rest of her days. But if she isn?t truly reformed and rehabilitated, then that could mean big bucks for bettors.
betED is taking wagers on whether Paris will stay on the straight-and-narrow, or revert to her rowdy party days after her three-week stay at a Los Angeles County Jail.
Which of the following will happen to Paris before Dec. 31, 2007:
A. She will be charged with drunk driving again (+150)
B. She?ll be caught with a controlled substance (+300)
C. She?ll marry a Costa Rican (+20000).
