It’s funny how a crisis can bring about opportunities. British Petroleum is struggling to contain what is being called one of the worst oils spills in history and online sportsbooks are turning this into an opportunity for you to make some money. BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill which took place in the Gulf of Mexico is in its second month and is far from over.
Latest discussions and live videos from the location of the spill have lead to beliefs that there is a possibility for serious damage to the ecosystem and the possibility of species extinction in the Gulf of Mexico.
Sportsbooks are addressing this problem in their own way. They are placing odds on which species would become extinct first. This may seem rather morbid, but the truth about the situation is really open for all to see.
The species with the top odds for extinction is the Kemp’s Ridley turtle, an endangered species that migrates to the Gulf this time of year. The turtle has a 5-9 odds for extinction.
Other, less likely species on the verge of extinction are the Gulf Sturgeon, Smalltooth Sawfish and Elkhorn Coral.
Sportsbooks are giving you an opportunity to capitalize on and you can place your wagers online on which species you think is most likely to walk down the road to extinction.
