This summer, gas prices continue to elevate around the country causing financial hardship to families trying to make ends meet and perhaps scrap together a road trip for a vacation.
The gas price spike is impacting all world markets that involve shipping of any kind, so the ripples are being felt even by those that aren’t required to make frequent trips to the gas pump.
Online sportsbook MyBookie is now offering its members the chance to enhance their summer vacation budgets by winning some money betting on gas prices around the country.
The following entertainment prop bets ask for gamblers to correctly select whether the price of gas will be above or below a set total by July 6th.
First up is the price of gas on the Las Vegas Strip. With the tourist activity and remote desert location, the Vegas strip would figure to be some of the most expensive gas in the United States.
The following odds for betting on current events have set the line at $5.65. Prices will be checked on Gasbuddy.com on July 6th to determine which side wins.
