 A
Barry Bonds Home Run #756 Will Pay Nicely for Sports
Bettors
Depending on when Barry Bonds slugs home run #756 to
beat Hank Aaron's record, some sports bettors will
enjoy decent returns on their wagers.
While the bigger
payout odds were being offered prior to August 2,
there is still a change bettors can make out big
should Bonds hit two homers on Thursday. Odds
for Bonds hitting home run #756 on August 2 were set
at 6 to 1 or a payout potential of $600 for every
$100 bet. He entered the day with 754 home
runs after going dry on Wednesday.
One bet that has a
real shot of winning big is whether Baseball
commissioner Bud Selig is in attendance when Bonds
hits #756. Selig has promised he'll be
following Barry Bonds throughout the Padres series
in San Diego. Selig being in attendance was
listed with +140 odds or $140 paid out for every
$100 bet at
Super Book Online
Betting.
Selig had planned
to fly to Minneapolis on Thursday to participate in
the Twins' groundbreaking for a new stadium. But
that event was canceled Wednesday after an entire
span of an interstate bridge collapsed into the
Mississippi River during evening rush hour.
Selig will travel to Milwaukee on Thursday and miss
the series finale in Los Angeles, leaving Hall of
Famer Frank Robinson to represent Major League
Baseball. Selig planned to rejoin Bonds on Friday in
San Diego.
