Waaaaaay back in the day, you could bet on where Skylab was going to fall!

It landed in Australia at a price of 40-1!

i think those crazy brits have some weird ones--
from gambling news article-

"One oft-told story is of the father who asked Ladbrokes what odds it would give him on his young son becoming a member of the English soccer team one day.

"We offered him 5,000 to 1, and he didn't take it. The boy went on to become a national team player," said Sean Boyce of Ladbrokes.

D'OH!!!

Their was a prop bet a year or two ago regarding whether or not Ricky Martin would proclaim he was gay by the end of the year... I thought that was funny.

Kidding hell!!!!!! Best bet I made all year was taking the over $13 million on Scooby Doo's new movie for opening weekend. For the 4 days, it grossed $52 million! Didn't even need Saturday and Sunday's total tick. sales. I wish I had another one just like it...:eek: :eek:

Just a note of caution: Opening weekend only includes Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I know because that was my reasoning for putting the Under on Scooby Doo in a parlay.

I know, I know, never use parlays when betting on movies :lol: Once I talked to all my friends with kids and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WAS GOING TO SEE IT THAT WEEKEND, I knew I was toast.

Reading just the other day a Pom put 5p on Elvis Presley riding into London on an elephant to play Lord Lucan in the Wimbledon men's singles final ... think that was about it ....

:D :brows: :weed:

Can't remember what odds he got; may have stood to win a million from memory....

Chitty odds in my opinion; I woulda passed ;)
