I hadn’t planned on writing this article. No, I did not even know that you could wager on the mortality of both public figures and actors — at least, not using a sportsbook! Well, it turns out you definitely can, and thanks to the hilariously twisted souls behind putting the chances for MyBookie.ag, it is more fun and less depressing than you may think.
For many years I had heard people discussing their death pools around the workplace and on radio shows. Normally, they had been composed as a way to publicly predict that a star would be dying shortly (within the year, in the majority of cases), with small follow-through past the announcement.
Recently, Iheard of a death pool using a organized site and everything! But those choices pale compared to what is happening in MyBookie.ag — and I am assuming other betting sites as well — at the moment.
Yes, “Death Matchups” Actually Exist!
First of all, the oddsmakers in MyBookie.ag are hilariously sick, which I’ll make abundantly apparent in later segments. Not only are they setting odds on if an wide selection of actors and public figures will perish, but they also pair them up into”death matchups,” at which the follow-through picks which of two or more options will croak first.
It’s how the bookies opt to make these pairs that really shines a light on their brilliance that is improper. For example, setting up a head-to-head between Demi Lovato and Artie Lange is insensitive. These two have nothing in common outside of hospitalizations that are current and heroin addictions.
To reword the bet, it’s basically”which of these two troubled celebrities will die of an overdose first?” Pretty dark, huh?
Of course, they never come out and say,”That is our heroin showdown,” that would probably be depended upon. They place the lines and leave the remainder for you to figure out. And the entire issue is perhaps pretty mean, especially in today world should not we put our money where our mouth is?
It is not like we are alln’t hypothesizing all the time to this kind of thing with our friends and coworkers. This raises the stakes somewhat. Makes your “I told you so” a smidgen more rewarding.
