BetUS.com Posts Odds on Outcome of NFL Owner’s Opt-Out

The NFL put the players union on notice earlier this month that the owners would opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement which could lead the league to have a season without a salary cap in 2010 and a possible lockout in 2011.

Fans are on edge with questions as to what is going to happen to their league and favorite sport. The possible consequences are confusing to most of the public, but BetUS sportsbook has beaten most to the punch and came up with their own odds and predictions as to the possible outcomes.

“With all of the traffic we’ve had since the announcement on Tuesday, one thing is very, very clear,” stated BetUS.com spokesman Reed Richards. “Fans are sick and tired of being put through the ringer. It’s simply not fair to ask them to wait with bated breath for three seasons wondering if there’ll be a lockout at the start of each. As such, we’re putting all of our predictive and analytical prowess on the line in order to give them some semblance of what might happen.”
