I know betting bargains aren't allowed but this was a good talking point for the forum. Sportsbet are taking bets on whats going to be in the Apple Keynote coming up this week.
There are things that have been leaked about the keynote that are available to bet on, so do Sportsbet know something or have they stuffed up here?

I dare say that any new Beats headphones will be available in rosegold, as well as rosepink.
The two iPhone things up for bets aside, usually not much still to learn about individual phone specs - near to launch events anyway, if you follow the Softpedia newsfeed.

Correspondent 'Bogdan' is keen… Lol. Rarely any comments on posts, but the ones at the bottom of this page are nice -

Metaphor for at least some Apple Fanboys?
Hmm…
:)
So how much did you all win??
$450 profit
Beats Headphone $25 x $11
No headphone port $400 x $1.50
Both bets were the maximum allowed by Sportsbet.Wow nice! I saw the post too late, but the Beats Headphones at $11 looked like a good punt.
You must have been pretty confident on the no headphone port!Yeah I was, I follow all the iPhone news. Covers for the iPhone 7 were released before the phone come out from some of the big brands. There wasn't and headphone cutout in them so made the decision to put the bet on even more easier.
They are almost certainly running this whole book as a marketing spend.
There will be a heap of fanboy types who will see the potential for easy money and sign up.
Considering that the betting groups routinely offer hundreds of dollars worth of 'bonus' bets with a new account, some minor losses here would be a cheap way to grow account numbers.
Additionally, the kind of people interested in this market are not traditional gamblers, who are an over saturated group in Australia, so this will be a good ploy to get new customers.
Note that the average Aussie loses $2000 a year gambling, and consider the payback if Sportsbet can convert even a handful of new customers to the 'average' punting profile.
Considering my 6 person family lost perhaps $40 gambling last year, some of you guys are over doing it.
