Really?

What are the lines? I'm curious.

While it may be seen as immoral, how much more so than the "death pools" offered by some books?

[Rich]

yes they did go to far it's similer to a comeidan who makes jokes for a living making a joke out of the bombimg.instead of putting up an assinine prop like that they should be following others in making a donation to the victims shame on NASA

I would never open an account with an insensitive company like like that.

I went into their site and looked at their "Catastrophe Props".

I saw some sick stuff on the internet in my life, but to make a betting line on how many people will die and by what method IMHO, takes the cake, especially given the recent events.

If I had any money at NASA, I would immediate withdraw it and never use them again and encourage everyone else to do the same.

Maybe if the person at NASA responsible for putting those lines up had a family member killed in the World Trade Center bombing, he wouldn't have created the kind of sick joke that he calls "Catastrophe Proposition Bets."

Said very well Fball!

[neilm]

Highly insensitive but that's the least of their problems as a sportsbook.

Stiffing players and slow pay should also concern you.

Jeff which books fall under the NASA umbrella aside from betonsports.com and nasasportsbook.com?

[Dragon]

And this, the biggest and best sportsbook in the world according to their ads! ha!

[Cons]

It's just a way of getting cheap publicity. Not only is it bad taste, but it's a gimmick for tiny stakes.

[<Born Yesterday>]

You can bet on hurricanes over there too! Disastors, death pools, you name it. Kind of sick, but even more sick than putting up those props is that people are probably betting on them!

Hartley, I believe that Gibraltar, Rock Island, Millenium, MVP Sports, and Infinity are under the NASA umbrella. And I'm sure there are more that I'm missing. Yes, some of them advertise in BW.
