The gambler’s Web Site, BetUS.com posted odds today on when Con Edison will fully restore electrical power to Queens. The favorite is Friday with the odds set at 2 to 1.
But the longshot is 100 to 1 that power will not be restored at all this year. Pet me down for two bucks on that.
Odds were also set for the chances of Con Ed being sued: Yes is 1 to 12 and No is 5 to 1. If you want to bet on whether the utility will face criminal charges the line is 5 to 7 for Yes and even for No.
It’s a 5 to 1 bet that beleagured Con Ed’s CEO Kevin Burke will resign. That he won’t quit is a 1 to 4 bet.
No odds were formulated on how quickly Con Ed will reimburse Westchester County customers for all the food that rotted in their refigerators. You know the score: The check is in the mail. Yeah, right!
That’s a sucker’s bet for you..
