twitterBettors’ conviction: DeLay is the favorite in the online world
Sunday, Oct. 2, 2005 | 2:39 a.m.
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, was well known for his ability to move campaign money around.
But the now-indicted congressman, facing conspiracy charges relating to the distribution of political donations, wouldn't like where the smart money is heading now.
Cyberbettors are putting their money on a conviction.
Online casino Bodog.com brags that there has been an "unprecedented amount of betting action."
Conviction is a solid favorite, with the line at -135, meaning a bettor would have to place a $135 bet to win $100. Acquittal is at -105.
So you don't end up in DeLay's shoes, remember: Online betting is illegal in the United States.
