BetUS is posting odds on whether Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens will test positive for performance enhancing drugs.

According to news reports, T.O. was in New York last tuesday, meeting with NFL officials after being placed in the league’s “reasonable cause” testing program for performance-enhancing drugs. The superstar was placed under additional scrutiny from the league on the same day that he received a contract extension for an exorbitant amount of money.

Will he test positive?

BetUS doesn’t think he will, offering 5.00 (4/1) odds on a positive result this season. They’re only paying 1.50 (1/2) for Terrell to stay clean.

Looking at the pic to the right, you sure couldn’t rule steroids out! He’s one cut mofo.

Let’s hope he got those abs from hard work and not the juice…

Big Brown was ‘empty’?

“He was empty. He didn’t have anything left,” jockey , Kent Desormeaux said. “There’s no popped tires. He’s just out of gas.”

But his last race was three weeks ago? How can he still be so tired?

The Big Brown one straggled home on Saturday, losing the Belmont Stakes to 38-1 long shot Da’ Tara, who led wire-to-wire. Eased up in the homestretch, the 1-4 favorite was so far behind at the end that his margin of defeat wasn’t even charted. He came dead last to end his Triple Crown hopes in the worst possible way.

He had arrived at Belmont Park undefeated in five starts, winning all of them by a combined 39 lengths. His path to history seemed even more assured when the also unbeaten Casino Drive was scratched on the morning of the race because of a bruised left hind hoof.

Luckily we didn’t end up betting on the race. We did initially have a sneaky bet on Casino Drive to win against the field minus Big Brown. But seeing as the Japanese horse was scratched, we got our money back.

So instead of becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner and first in 30 years -Big Brown was the first horse going for a Triple to finish last. That’s not what the 94,476 fans that showed up to watch wanted!

Well done Da’ Tara. You were the horse that was supposed to come last - you sure showed all of us punters!

Let’s hope the Lakers can beat those Celtics Sunday to give us a little happiness this weekend.

How did your bets go over the weekend? We went 2/3. Kimbo didn’t knock out Johnson in under 1:30 to win us our MMA bet. He only just won the fight at all, in controversial circumstances. But the Stanley Cup finals game did see less than 5 goals scored and Ray Allen outscored Tayshaun Prince to win those two bets for us and make it a good weekend.

This week is another big one in sports. The Stanley Cup is still being contested for at least one more game, the French Open tennis is in full swing and the NBA finals start on Thursday night in Boston.

Even though the Celtics have the home court advantage, the Lakers are favorites with the oddsmakers at Bodog’s Sportbook. They’re giving Boston just a 38% chance of claiming the Larry O’brien trophy for the first time since 1986, with odds of 2.65 (+165 or 33/20). The Lakers are paying 1.53 (-189 or 53/100).

In other betting markets this week, Bodog is also taking bets on when Charles Barkley will be spotted on a casino gaming floor.

They’re paying 8.50 (+750 or 15/2) to anyone who bets that Sir Charles will hit the blackjack tables again before the end of the NBA Finals. You can also bet whether he will relapse before the start of the 2008-09 NBA season.

We think Charles is probably crazy enough to go straight back to the tables regardless of all the furore his recent gambling losses and non-payment caused. It’s probably not a bad bet…

What can be a bad bet is betting on the spread in a Lakers game when Sasha ‘The Machine’ Vujacic is on the floor. Check out the video below for Sasha’s three pointer as the clock winds down, the Lakers already winners. He annoyed some punters with that shot and even the commentary team gets stuck into him!
