Can't wait until we hear about a guy losing his house betting on this.

"If there are two or more people engaged in a sanctioned competition, we want to offer odds on it, and the Special Olympics is no different," BetOnline Sportsbook Manager, Adam Burns, told Forbes. "For my money, I’d much rather watch and wager on the World Games where talented athletes are competing in real sports than some guy stuffing 60 hot dogs into his mouth."

A robust defense. They got some standards, ya know

I've wondered about how many new sports leagues are driven a lot by the gambling aspect. Like that league where normal dudes just slap the shit out of each other.
Some guys just need to get SOME ACTION on it

Why not bet on Special Olympians?

Maybe it'll drive interest and result in
more sponsorships.

What happens if someone who really doesn’t but identifies as being able to participate and wins the gold in every event? The REEEING from the left would be hysterical

I'd bet on that all day.

I would bet that the Special Olympics will draw more spectators than the WNBA.

Well, I wouldn't actually BET any money, it's a figure of speech.

Do you go for the fattest one or the skinniest?
Some times those skinny dudes can really pack it down.

Can’t wait for the trans-self diagnosed downs athlete to dominate all the female competitors.

Her truth is reality you down-a-phobes!

As it should.

My "nephew" (best friend's son) has downs.

Great kid.

It's good to see the Special Olympians do their best and give it their all.

WNBA...I rather watch my cat lick its ass.

Same goes for most women and feminists. But they'll insist that if YOU don't watch and support the WNBA, you are a woman-hating bigot.

People will bet on anything - be it the outcome of a game, or the color of sports drink tossed on someone.

So the real question is… what’s the limits on the bets here?  Just betting on the outcome or say some darker bets - like injuries or someone acting out etc?

If you're going to be such a degenerate that you're betting on the the Down's javelin throw , you should have to work for that . Look some bookie in the eyes and accept his disgust as he (maybe) takes your bet

They made a movie about that already

It was a comedy back in the 2000s. Today I think it would be a drama
