Bookmaker posts odds on NFL arrests, who's next?

Bookmaker posts odds on NFL arrests, who's next? How does the NFL off-season go - some will be drafted, some will be traded, some will be cut and a whole bunch of players will be arrested. And now the online bookmaker BetUS is joining in on the action and is offering betting props on the next NFL player to get busted. Whenever the NFL off-season rolls around the league and its fans begin to hold their breath. The reason for this being that history has shown a pattern of bad behavior on behalf of the league's players. In the past, incidents with big name stars like Michael Vick, Ricky Williams, and just about every member of the Bengals that have either landed them in jail, or in the courtroom have made off-season drama the rule and not the exception.

The recent arrest of Colts running back Kenton Keith and incidents involving other NFL'ers have shown that this off-season is no different. This being the case fans across the country are wondering who will be next, and what will they get in trouble for. Looking for answers they have been flooding to one of the largest sportsbooks on the web, BetUS, where oddsmakers have posted odds on all things NFL player behavior.

"The NFL is part of the fabric of the lives of fans in America and their interest in their teams and players goes far beyond the field," said BetUS spokesman Reed Richards. "This is illustrated by the number of fans who come to us looking for analysis and predictive information regarding which star or team will be in hot water next."
