By now, nearly everyone has heard about a young boy named Falcon who was supposedly trapped inside a giant saucer-like balloon that floated for hours in the Colorado sky. The young boy, it was discovered, was never actually in the balloon and instead hiding out in his parent's attic. His parents have already conducted countless interviews answering questions from journalists wondering if this was all just an elaborate ruse.
 
As with any good spectacle, the media will undoubtedly be following this story closely over the next few days looking for any new revelations. As such, analysts at Bookmaker.com have posted odds on what will most likely happen next, following the October 15th incident.
