Talk about bad karma. This is beyond tasteless. It is not funny, and dead pool was a movie. Come on man, gamblers and bettor's have a bad enough rap as it is. But betting on assassination is unethical...OF

What book is this? I agree that`s horrible.

 

[quantumleap]

My money is on Karzai.

 

[postaldoug]

Agree this is bad for bettors, but I'd take NO against Bush... on credit, he has protection. Pretty tough to knock off of USA president.

Get off your high horse. Do you bet boxing? A sport in which an opponent wins by knocking out or in some cases KILLING his opponent.

 

[DickyW]

Yeah real silly shit and not sure why any book would offer it. Does this market really appeal to any bettor or just a twisted fvck who wants his horse to die so he can make a few bucks and brag to his buddies. This is'nt bookmakers putting this future up it's some dumbass marketer.

 

[Journeyman]

So what book is it Frog?

dickyw.......

quote "this isnt bookmakers putting up this future its some dumbass marketer"

100% correct......

MVP Sportsbook. No bookmaker/linemaker would do this. Howard Stern type prop. Soory, I do not compare this prop to boxing. This is not someone dies by accident. Athletes die in training camp, in airplanes, in Suburban rollovers. This is about a hit. This is about betting someone does die. If that means I am on a high horse than so be it. I am not about to bet someone to die. Best Wishes...OF
