Apple iPhone launch? You bet

Reuben Lee | Nov 21, 2006

The hype surrounding the anticipation of the Apple iPhone has reached new heights, with sports betting site Bodog.com taking bets on the launch date of the elusive cellular handheld.

According to a blog posted on our sister site CNET.com, Bodog will be "using the money line system to gauge whether Apple will introduce the iPhone by the end of April 2007, or whether it will introduce the product at January's MacWorld conference".

Based on the odds given by Bodog, those betting on whether Steve Jobs will announce the iPhone at January's MacWorld will need to wager US$280 to win US$100, while those who think the cellular device will be launched by April 30, 2007, will have to bid US$150 to make US$100. A launch after that date or no launch will score US$110 on a US$100 bet.
