Unusual non-sporting event you wagered on...

Presto · Jan 1, 2006

What are some of your unusual non-sporting event wagers?
Around 02 I bet the revolutionary Marcos of Chiapas Mexico would NOT be assassinated during a tour of Mexico to raise support for some cause or another. Thank God for body armor.

More recently, I wagered on the box office reciepts from the opening weekend of Revenge of the Sith. George Lucas and Gene Simmons were actually twins separated at birth.

The downside is these wagers/futures can tie up your money for weeks at a time.

Does anyone else look forward to these type of wagers?

The most common one for myself would be the DJIA daily volume.

Sadly I once bet on Alicia Keyes a few years ago to win some award because I read she was a lock on one of the forum's.

She (and I) lost.

:sad3:

:lolBIG: Don't you lose either way with that bet?

Possible outcomes:
A) The world ends. Crap...
B) You lose $1,000

I don't see how either of these is good.

Back in my single days, we had nights out when if nobody was close to some good action, after about 1:00 a.m. we would bet who could get the ugliest chick. Sadly, I won a few of those.
