(For those of you not in the know, a positive number indicates the amount you would win if you bet $100 and a negative number indicates the amount you would have to bet in order to win $100. I had to look it up. I still have the provincial view that odds should be expressed as a ratio. Silly me.)

My money’s on the Zergians. Other lines allow you to bet on whether or not Elvis is alive, who the next Pope will be, and whether the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan will be subject to a terrorist attack within the next year.
