We are living in a world where there is betting odds on everything, and according to former NBA legend Dennis Rodman that includes his time of death, as he accuses Vegas of ‘dead pool’ betting on his life.
A dead pool (or death pool) is a game or betting pool where participants wager on the dates of death of specific individuals, most commonly celebrities.
During a recent appearance at Fanatics Fest NYC, the NBA Hall of Famer, Dennis Rodman, said every sportsbook in Las Vegas had his name listed between 1998 and 2010 because people were betting on how long he would live.
“Every casino in Vegas from 1998 to 2010… Every sportsbook had my name on it. Everyone. You don’t know why, right?”…“When is Dennis going to d!e? Look it up, I’m not lying. My name was [in there], when Dennis supposed to die this year and people was betting on it.”
