WILLEMSTAD, Curacao – Proving that people will bet on anything, a sports betting site based on this Caribbean island is taking wagers on which shows will win – or lose – during the new fall TV season.
"One of the most highly anticipated nights of season premieres takes place Thursday (today) when ABC’s hit drama ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ moves from Sundays in an attempt to unseat reigning ratings king ‘CSI’. PinnacleSports.com has actually created odds on which season premiere will draw more viewers.
Drawing over 20 million viewers on average, CBS hit crime series CSI (made by Canadian company Alliance Atlantis) has dominated Thursday nights for years and opened as an overwhelming 4/11 favorite (i.e., win $4 for every $11 bet) to trounce the season premiere of its new prime time opponent entering its sophomore year.
While Grey’s built a huge following on Sunday nights, PinnacleSports.com lists the hospital drama as a 5/2 underdog to outdraw "CSI" this week.
Who needs football to quench that betting thirst?
