The Odds on OJ Simpson Returning to Prison

Anyone giving odds on how long it will be before OJ lands back in prison once he's released?

OJ Simpson was granted parole last month by the Nevada Parole Board and will probably be released sometime this October.

Simpson has served nine years of a nine-to-33-year sentence for an armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas in 2007. Upon release, Simpson said he’ll return to Florida (his house was foreclosed in 2014).

Bovada and 5Dimes put up odds on Simpson being granted parole (-475) or not (+325); the Parole Board proved the oddsmakers correct, granting parole for Simpson’s earliest eligibility date, based on his good behavior behind bars.

If he gets in trouble again in the next five years, he could be sent back to prison to serve out the remainder of his 33-year sentence. We haven’t seen any offshore sportsbooks post odds on that proposition, but one website, SportsBettingExperts.com, came up with a number of “novelty” bets on some of the issues revolving around what life for the 70-year old Simpson will be like as an ex-con.

The dozen post-parole-hearing props included the odds that Simpson will return to prison before 1/31/18. They’re long: +500 that he will, -750 that he won’t. This means that you’d bet $100 to win $500 that he will return to prison within up to four months of being paroled, or $750 to win $100 that he won’t.

Other propositions:

Will any of OJ’s children greet him as he leaves prison?

Will OJ Simpson speak to the media at the time of his release?

Will OJ Simpson release a book before 6/1/18?

OJ Simpson’s first stop upon release from prison:

Home/Hotel: +150
Airport: +300
In-n-Out Burger: +750
Red Lobster: +750
Any other restaurant: +450
7-Eleven: +1000
Golf Course: +1500
Strip Club: +2500
Casino: +2500
Brothel: +5000

@Thomas Husul

As P. T. Barnum was famed for saying "there's a sucker born every minute" and as long as there are minutes, the greed anywhere will never stop.  Taking your business elsewhere is the best play against the greedy but you need to grow up yourself and realize that your minute effort stops nothing.  However raising an army of those who think like you to protest the greed is a far better way to spend your gambling money. But will you?

Also done

I agree with Thomas.  Being a "low roller" just doesn't cut it anymore.  We used to come to Vegas from MI every year.  After our latest visit in June, we have decided to just visit our local Tribal Casino.  Why travel so far to be gouged when you can do it right in the backyard! Few comps, pricy food and drink, and tight machines...no thanks!

another is done

use to go to Vegas 4x year,now its maybe twice. I can go to a casino ten minutes from home lose my money. No need to pay parking fees,resort fees and rent a car with $40.00 taxes added on. Big business is destroying Vegas with to much greed.They will be hurting, sooner then later.

Lamest QoD ever

I'm glad everyone is ignoring the actual question of the day. It must be the lamest one I've seen in many many years of reading the QoD. It has almost nothing to do with Vegas, and who cares anyway?

I share everyone's disenchantment with the new Vegas, but I don't think that the greed is new. When they used to give away the store, they weren't doing it to be kind and generous. They were doing it, because they made more money with the increased volume of gambling that the giveaways generated. I agree it felt different, but the casino operators, then and now, were only interested in the bottom line. They just had a different modus operandi for making as much money as they could.
