One wouldn't think it....not Kobe Bryant.  But the oddsmakers at the oldest North American facing online sportsbook, Bookmaker.com, have made the Lakers star an even favorite to be found with a gun stashed in his locker by March 30thBookmaker.com released these and other NBA "weapon possession" odds on Monday as they become more aggressive on the sports and entertainment prop betting front.  LeBron James was listed with +500 odds for a payout potential of $50 on every $10 bet.  Gambling911.com could not reach Bookmaker.com at press time to understand why Bryant would be made such a huge favorite within this bet option. 

The so-called "gun story" became big news over the past few days following reports that Washington Wizards player Gilbert Arenas had pulled a gun out on fellow player Javaris Crittenton while in the locker room. According to Arenas' own account on Twitter, he was just horsing around and didn't threaten fellow Wizard Javaris Crittenton, with whom he was reportedly arguing over a gambling debt.

Bookmaker expert Mickey Richardson, CEO of Bookmaker.com, one of the largest sports books in the world, and his team of experienced odds makers, have put together lines for other Television shows such as, American Idol, Top Chef, Lost, and Dancing with the Stars.
