It’s interesting then that the NFL traditionally has taken a hard line stance against the gaming the industry. Historically, the NFL has ignored the gaming industry like a red-headed orphan or like that stalker that keep messaging you on FB.

In 2011, something changed. This year, the NFL flipped the script and threw everyone for a loop. The NFL has repeatedly stated that sportsbetting and online gambling and the NFL will never go hand in hand. But apparently, that doesn’t mean they can’t share the same website.

You can be shocked, you can be surprised, you can believe whatever you like, but the fact is NFL.com had Bodog’s Super Bowl odds up on their website for a little while. I don’t want to know what happened to guy responsible for it, and quite frankly, it’s not my concern. What is rather interesting is how the NFL chose Bodog to be the first NFL endorsed Sportsbook.

Now, seeing is believing, so check the screenshot if you think I’m hopped up on 8ball.

Jokes aside, it’s not the first time Bodog has made it’s appearance on the world’s biggest sporting stage, the Super Bowl.

Some of you may remember when Billy Joel was about to sing the national anthem for the Super Bowl, and a reporter referred to the buzz surrounding a Bodog prop, and asked the singer if he planned to do a slow or fast rendition of the national anthem.

Joel’s response was classic, he refused to answer the question with any certainty, eluding to the fact that he just may have placed a bet of his own on himself. Now that’s brilliant.

This year, that same famous prop on the length of the national anthem is once again available and once again it’s among the favorites for bettors to wager on. The difference this time is the beautiful diva Christina Aguilera will be the singer on the clock.

If you talk to anyone, they’ll give you an opinion on Tiger’s future on anything from whether he’ll get a divorce to which sponsor will drop or support him next. It’s definitely good for the prop betting business, which Bodog can surely attest to, as they unquestionably have the leading and most dynamic prop bet offerings in the sportsbook business.

Here’s a thought… Tiger just might need his very own sportsbook. I don’t mean Tiger should start up his own sportsbook, like he needs more scrutiny from the US media, but he could definitely fill up options to wager on. Future bets would be bananas. The hardest part of the future bets would be choosing which one to bet on. Recently, Proctor and gamble CEO said he didn’t know if Tiger Woods would ever be in a Gillette commercial again. The CEO eluded to the fact that Tiger probably wasn’t the type of publicity the company was looking for. How do you like that Gillette sized razor in your back Tiger? I thought Gillette was all about getting the best a man can get, I guess Tiger took it too far. I wonder what the odds are for Tiger being in another Gillette commercial or even a Nike commercial?

And what about his playing career? When will he play again? In the Masters? Will it be in 2010? All I’m saying is the man needs his own section. Forget about when the man will take to the lynx again, we know he will sometime, and when he does, the question will be how will he fair. Personally, I’m the guy throwing money down that he wins his first competition, call me an idealist, but I call it not forgetting how bad ass his golf game is. One sportsbook page alone could be devoted to how Tiger will fair in his first two matches.

There’s something about Tiger Woods that energizes the gambling world. To me, it’s because he’s not a chump, he’s a winner made out to be a loser. He’s a champion made out to be an underdog and everyone loves to be on the underdog. So whatever he does or doesn’t do, be sure people are watching and betting.
