Pinnacle Sports, a leading online casinos site, has decided to take odds on one of the hottest stories in the news today. The online casinos site's bettors are placing odds on whether or not Barry Bonds will receive a drug-related suspension in 2006. Barry Bonds' alleged doping regime, which is believed to have begun in 1998, has received constant denial from the baseball player himself, as well as an assault on the record books which supposedly documenting evidence of drug abuse, including steroids and human growth hormones.
'Allegations of steroid use have surrounded Barry Bonds since he began his assault on the record books, but this book could prove to be the slugger's kryptonite,' said Simon Noble of Pinnacle Sports. Initially the online casinos site opened wagering with Bonds listed as an enormous 14/1 underdog to receive a drug-related suspension from Major League Baseball in 2006. Odds then dropped to 5/1 following the release of excerpts from the book. Despite this, the favorite online casinos odds are at 1/7, focusing on the chances that Bonds will avoid being disciplined by Bud Selig's office in the upcoming season.
Whatever happens to Bonds, the world will be watching, especially online casinos fans betting on his future. Although all of Bonds' drug tests have come back negative, the allegations remain. Online casinos fans will have to see if they will be able to cash in on Bonds' fate or if they will fall short of calling the story as it is.
