First it was recording artist Lady Gaga where an online bookmaker posted odds on whether she was a man or woman, now comes word that Sportsbook.com has posted odds on the gender of runner Semenya.

"We are opening odds on whether tests will come out man or woman or other," reveals Dave Stanley, Spokesperson for Sportsbook.com.

Will she test as entirely female?

Yes -250

No +175

"I guess if she is packing both, the No is the winner," said Stanley. 

The IAAF has asked the South African athletics federation to conduct a gender verification test on 800-meter runner Caster Semenya amid concerns she does not meet the requirements to compete as a woman.

The 18-year-old Semenya won the 800 final on Wednesday at the world championships in a world leading 1 minute, 55.45 seconds, beating defending champion Janeth Jepkosgei by a massive 2.45 seconds. Je

Sportsbook.com has released a series of Michael Vick betting props following the announcement Thursday that the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback had signed with the Philadelphia Eagles.

For those thinking Vick will start any game of the 2009 regular season, oddsmakers say otherwise.

"We made Vick a near 3/1 (+275) odds underdog to start as quarterback," said Dave Stanley, Spokesperson for Sportsbook.com.

Other betting props include what the first pass from Vick will be and whether Vick will still be on the Eagles roster by Week 17.  The "Yes" is a huge favorite.

Longtime Eagles fans we spoke to here at Gambling911.com were not at all happy with the prospect of Michael Vick joining their beloved team, though this is in no way a scientific survey.

"I felt like puking!" said one.

Be sure to place your Michael Vick betting props at Sportsbook.com.

Legalized sports gambling is coming. Bet on it. There’s opposition from the leaders of the pro and college leagues. You already know that. It doesn’t matter.

This isn’t an issue of being pure and saintly, it’s an issue of reality, an issue where already one state, Delaware, said it will allow wagering on NFL games and a gubernatorial candidate from another, Christy Mihos of Massachusetts, would hope his state follows the lead. The worry is games will be rigged, that organized crime will call the shots, that when gambling becomes legit in other places, as it is in Nevada, sports will lose their integrity, and without that there’s no reason to play because there’s no reason to believe.

Yet as you already know, gambling, particularly on NFL games, is universal.
