Put Your Money Where Your Blog Is -2006 Blog Betting at BetUS Sportsbook
Blogs are kind of a big deal. Everyone's heard of them and many folks read them daily.
Technorati.com (a blog search engine) says that there are
over 37.3 million blogs in the blog universe (or
blogosphere as it's collectively known as). Technorati also ranks
the top 100 blogs -- the REAL kings of the internet jungle.
These guys get more hits, RSS subscriptions, pageviews, and links than the average Internet surfer can shake a mouse at!
Out of Technorati's millions of tracked blogs, BetUS.com is taking bets on which blog will be #1 on their
Top 100 list on
New Years Eve. Here are the top contendors:
So who's it going to be?
Michael Arrington's web 2.0 startup blog? Or the oh-so-practical
Lifehacker.com? What about Google engineer
Matt Cutts? Or will the gossip oozing
Gawker.com dominate the list?
For the average blogger that hasn't brushed up on their odds reading recently (or hasn't raced off to wikipedia to get the low-down on online betting), here's how it works:
Let's say you fancy that Lifehacker.com is going to be the top blog. If you're right, your $100 bet pays you back $1000 (+1000 odds) for a cool $900 profit.
Oh, and we're loving the blogosphere so much that we're not only taking bets on blogs, but we're launching our own very soon. Stay tuned!
There's no other Sportsbook on the earth that's bringing you blog betting.
