You know you have a gambling problem when you wager on Tiger Woods' loss of sponsorships

I received the most bizarre press release of my career on Friday. It was from Bookmaker.com, announcing that official odds were out on which of Tiger’s sponsors would drop him first.

Here’s a portion of that press release:

“Earlier this week, CEO Mickey Richardson and his team put together odds on which sponsor will be the first to give him the boot, with Pepsi Co’s Gatorade and Tag Heuer as frontrunners and TLC Vision Corp and Accenture following close behind. Full odds below for you:

First Sponsor to Drop Tiger Woods

Nike +400 (20%)

Accenture +350 (22%)

Gillette +800 (11%)

PepsiCo’s Gatorade +250 (29%)

Tag Heuer Watches +330 (23%)

Electronic Arts Inc. +500 (17%)

Upper Deck, Net Jets +700 (13%)

TLC Vision Corp +350 (22%)

“[The +/- Indicates the Return on the Wager. For Example: Betting on the company least likely to drop him would earn the most amount of money, should that happen. The percentage is the likelihood each sponsor will drop him.”

As we all know now, Accenture is the “winner,” as are any vultures who may have plunked their money down on that semi-favorite.

I’m not sure what to think or say about this, other than some people apparently have WAY too much time and money than they know what to do with. And a serious gambling problem.
