Innovative Antiguan sportsbook Intertops (www.intertops.com) has set odds and is acceping bets on the upcoming Howard Stern Show boxing match.
The fight will feature Stern sidekick and celebrity interviewer/antagonizer "Stuttering John" Melendez vs. a WXRK radio disc jockey and frequent Stern show guest known as "Crazy Cabbie."
The latest Intertops odds have "Crazy Cabbie" a -105 favorite to win the bout, meaning bettors who think he'll win must lay $105 to win $100.
"Stuttering John" is the underdog at +170, meaning bettors who think he'll win can lay $100 to win $170.
Bettors may also wager that the fight will end in a draw. Those odds are +255, meaning bettors who think the fight will end in a draw can lay $100 to win $255. Since the draw option is being made available, bettors should remember that if they wager on "Cabbie" or Melendez and the fight ends in a draw, their bets will LOSE, NOT PUSH.
"Crazy Cabbie," a former taxi driver who the New York Post described as a bisexual crack-smoker, may be the favorite because he has one previous Stern show fight and was victorious. Last year, "Cabbie" won a boxing match against another Stern show guest known as "Angry Black."
Melendez, meanwhile, has no previous boxing experience, although in the course of doing celebrity interviews for Stern he has scuffled with the likes of now-dead TV talk show host Morton Downey Jr., Raquel Welch and former New York Daily News gossip columnist A.J. Benza, as well as a Sharon Stone bodyguard.
No date or venue has been set for the fight, although it is expected to be held later this spring in Atlantic City or Las Vegas.....
IN CLAUDE WE TRUST: Internet pirate Claude Levy of Belgium has finally put his bootleg Pamela Anderson online casino into operation, at www.pamelaandersoncasino.com.
The casino is not endorsed by and has no connection to the real Pamela Anderson, it's simply another rip-off operation put into operation by Levy in an effort to illegally cash in on a celebrity's fame.
The funniest part of the casino site is where the site explains that the casino is run by "a group you can trust.".....
CASINO SPEARED: Not all illegal online casinos ripping off celebrities' names are getting away with it.
Just weeks after the bootleg Britney Spears online casino (www.britneyspearscasino.com) opened and this column reported on it, the casino has been shut down.....
BUSH WHACKED: Someone has registered the Internet address www.presidentbushcasino.com, although no online casino is in operation at that site---yet.
Expect it soon, though. A competitor at www.presidentclintoncasino.com has been in operation for several years.....
ROSE RED?: Reports circulating around Las Vegas say former Cincy Red Pete Rose has been speaking with officials of the new Palm casino there about a job as a casino spokesman.
This, of course, is the same Pete Rose who has been banned from baseball for life for gambling.
Uh, Pete, you had one chance in a million of ever getting back into baseball and being inducted into the Hall of Game.
If you take the casino job you've got zero chance.....
JONESING IT: Speaking of athlete-casino connections, does Major League Baseball know that Atlanta Braves outfielder Andruw Jones, a Curacao native, recently was on hand in that Caribbean nation for the official opening of a new office park which features the operations for several online sportsbooks and casinos?
What was Jones thinking? Doesn't he know baseball goes nuts when its players get involved in any way with gambling? Remember what happened when Reggie Jackson lent his name to an online casino a few years back? (Baseball went nuts and Jackson had to close down the casino, and he's an ex-player.).....
