Intertops Online Sportsbook Sets its Sites on Mars

Gambling News - November 2nd, 2009 - Written by Glen

intertopsOnline sportsbooks are always offering odd bets, but one of the newest lines available is completely out of this world. Though eccentric, this betting line is one of the future of humanity. Science has, over the past twenty years, advanced by leaps and bounds, and the online sportsbook, Intertops, has targeted the space program for one of their newest betting lines.

The newest line proposes a simple question - Whether or not a human land on planet Mars before December 31st, 2020. While this betting line will not culminate for nearly a decade, humanity continues to gaze in to the heavens with an ever hopeful eye.

While humanity as a whole remains hopeful, Intertops Sportsbook does not. The odds currently stand at 1.20 for no and 4.00 for yes. Perhaps due to the distance, perhaps due to failed launches, Intertops refuses to accept the fact that every year, humanity edges closer to developing propulsion systems capable of crossing the mind paralyzing distances of the inky black void of space. Technology has grown more powerful at an exponential rate, and continues to follow this trend - thus making the possibility of a manned space craft on Mars prior to December 31st, 2020, land in the realms of possibility.

Additional lines under the same umbrella include a "what will happen first" betting line. This line covers the possibility of a human landing on Mars versus the idea of extraterrestrial visitors landing on earth. While more outlandish and generally weird than the previous line, Intertops has set the odds at Earth meeting Mars first with 1.05, while visitors from space landing on Earth stands with odds of 15:1.

While not all of the lines found through Intertops online sportsbook are quite as zany or eccentric, this is definitely one that a prop bettor would not want to pass up. Though there is a decade to lapse prior to the conclusion of this bet, at least at the very minimum, this should provide players with at least a wet slap of entertainment while awaiting launch.
