Yeah, until some Ron Artest-type motherfucker charges the stands.

I mean when Artest, Rodman, Wallace, and such were around online betting would have been golden. $40 says Indiana punches a ref when they play the Pistons.

NFL: $30 says Owens gets fined. Burfict gets suspended and Pacman Jones gets into an argument with a coach for the other team on the field.
