Here’s a site called Odds Checker that lets you compare the rates being offered by different online bookies. It’s useful, I suppose, if you’re into the online betting thing, and you want to get the best “return” on your “investment” by shopping around.

But I don’t do any sports betting — and that’s what 90% of the site is all about.

However, there’s this intriguing little link, called “Specials.” And that’s where the real action is, in my opinion. Using the menu at the top, you can bet on things like the Emmy Awards, the Booker Prize, even Big Brother or So You Think You Can Dance.

And what’s this? Other Specials? Why that’s where you can lay your money on the next reported sighting of the Virgin Mary! Or whether the first same-sex marriage in Ireland will be lesbians, gay men or two transgenders.

There’s tons more — and it’s fun just to see what kind of stuff people will bet on. I suppose it’s a useful site if you want to bet on sports, too.
