Second best prop bet ever

[The Buzz]

You all know by now that Buzzy loves a good prop bet. And this one ranks second on the all-time list (only behind whether Heather Mills' leg would fall off in Dancing with the Stars).

Several sportsbooks offered odds on who would win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Seriously, how could you pass on whether the winner would be home schooled at 3-1?

Good story. I would've liked some of that 7/5 on male (with a saver on female at evens, of course).

i like this pat.

Last year, leading up to June 6, 2006, BetUS.com offered a line on the date 6/6/6 for those who believe in satanic numbers.

"We asked if that day would be the end of the world,'' Richards said. "And 60 percent of the players said 'yes.' So I'm glad they lost that one.'' Besides, if they'd won, how would they have collected?

I'd put money down on the winner being home schooled every year.
