Never one to let a free marketing opportunity go to waste, offshore gambling site BetUS.com is making book on the iPhone.
For example, BetUS says odds are better than even the iPhone will sell more than 12 million units in 2008 (5 to 6) and Apple's stock price will spike on June 30 (1 to 2). Other safe bets: people will camp outside stores waiting for one (3 to 1) and sell them on eBay for three times the original price (2 to 1).
But then BetUS gets downright weird. Gruesomely, they believe the odds of someone getting trampled while attempting to obtain an iPhone (20 to 1) are better than the dingus getting recalled (30 to 1) or that one of the units will spontaneously combust (150 to 1).
