Taking it too far: Odds on Apple's upcoming announcement
Ok, so I certainly follow the ups and downs of the Mac Rumor Machine (I've even fanned the flames on occasion), but this is getting a little out of hand. Bodog is offering odds on the various products/updates that could come from Apples press event on the 12th. iTunes video store is getting 11/2 odds. I wouldn't take that one.Thanks, Matthew!

I would. It's going to be an iTunes Video store... without a doubt. Someone is going to make a wad of cash on this. What I can't fathom is that OSX for the PC has odds at 9/1... what the hell? Dream on!

Considering that tomorrow's announcement comes the day after Apple announces its earnings, what if they're going to unveil an acquisition? The "One more thing..." might be a buyout of say (for example) TiVo or some other media company - a video iPod (if they ever build one) would require content. And what better content than what people record onto their TiVo (or other PVR) at home. What companies would be good candidates for takeover for Apple?

"If more than one product/upgrade/offering from our list are announced on the Oct.12th, 2005 press conference, all wagers will have NO ACTION."
In effect, the proposition is "ONLY announcement X will be made", not "announcement X will be made". This reduces the value of the bets, naturally. Furthermore, since many of the outcomes are correlated (iTunes video store is likely to come out with video over Airport Express), the probability of multiple announcements is increased.

The 'One more thing' is going to be replacement NANO's to all who put it in their jean pocket and got scratched.
