Sportsbook.com offers odds on the chances of baseball’s Barry Bonds playing this year

Thursday 24th March 2005

Sportsbook.com is offering odds on Barry Bonds’ chances of returning to the MLB season.

Recovering from another knee surgery and caught up in baseball's steroid scandal, Barry Bonds has yet to reveal whether he will join the MLB season this year.

Sportsbook.com is offering baseball fans the opportunity to wager on Bonds' return with the following odds:

Before May 31 ‘05 1-2

June 1 - June 15 6-1

June 16 - June 30 8-1

July 1st - July 15 10-1

July 16 - July 31 12-1

Aug 1st - Aug 15 15-1

Aug 16 to Aug 31 18-1

Sept 1st to Sept 15 25-1

Sept 16 to Oct 2 25-1

During ‘05 Playoffs 50-1

During ‘06 Season 10-1

Never 5-1

‘It has been an incredible start to the baseball season with all of the controversy surrounding the sport,’ says Peter Childs, odds maker for Sportsbook.com. ‘Whether Bonds will play this year has likely as much to do with his injury as it does the media attention paid to his personal life. At this point, all we can do is wait and see.’
