What a world.
O.J. Simpson, who went to jail for kidnapping and robbery and not for killing two people, has his parole hearing on Thursday, which you can
watch live on ESPN, tomorrow at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (01:00 PM Eastern Time).
As with any big event that takes place these days, you can make some money if you'd like to place a wager on the outcome. Offshore betting websites are offering odds on whether O.J. will become a free man this week. According to the people betting there, the odds are in his favor. But of course, many people will disagree.
So, for those of you who are strongly convicted he will be denied parole, why not try and make some money off of it?
On the other hand, it is entirely possible he will be granted parole, considering he's already served 9 years, which is quite a bit considering the severity of the crime he was convicted of and apparently he's been a very well-behaved prisoner while serving his sentence. Of course, legally, the parole board should treat him as not guilty of the 2 murders, but nobody can know what will be going through their minds tomorrow.
The amount of money you can earn depends entirely on how much money will be placed on each outcome.
For example, if a total of 2 BTC is placed on Yes (doesn't matter if it came from 2 people or 50) and let's say only you bet on No, you will get 2 BTC no matter what amount of BTC you bet. If there's a total of 2 BTC placed on Yes and 0.2 BTC placed on No and you bet 0.1 and you win, you will get 50% of the share which would be 1 BTC in this case. Of course, this example is unrealistic but hopefully that explains it.
