Default Wanna Bet? Bodog Lets You Wager on Length of Mike Vick Suspension

Wanna Bet? Bodog Lets You Wager on Length of Mike Vick Suspension, Not Falcons' Record

Demonstrating yet again the strength of the link between gambling and the NFL, it turns out that even the length of Michael Vick's NFL suspension is something that bettors can wager on:

Exactly 18 hours and 14 minutes after the news broke that Vick had been indicted on dogfighting charges, an e-mail arrived from bodog.com, an offshore gambling site, setting odds on Vick's future.

How long will Michael Vick be suspended by the NFL?

No suspension: 5/1
1-4 games: 4/1
5-8 games: 2/1
9-12 games: 1/1
13-16 games: 2/3

Interestingly, that might be the only thing you can bet on related to the Falcons right now. Because of the uncertainty surrounding Vick, Bodog is not accepting any wagers on the Falcons' win total or the winner of the NFC South, even though it allows bets on the other teams and the other divisions.

I figured we'd start seeing props on Michael Vick soon, although bodog is the last place in the world I'd want to have my money tied up with. I hate to see you prop for them knowing the hassle people will go through with them due to horrendous customer service and an admitted average 30 business day withdrawal lag time, as these are customers who will get burned and won't play anywhere again.

Bodog ought to do a similar prop with how long they'll take to pay you out should you win with that prop....

How long will it take for your next Bodog payout?

1-3 weeks 8-1
4-6 weeks 3-1
7-10 weeks 2-1
10+ weeks 2-1

Hey that's not bad at all for a futures market ... only 2.7027% vig (equivalent to about a -105.5 line set).

You making any others?
