What happens in Vegas sits, rolls over and stays in Vegas

For the first time in the 131-year history of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, odds have been made on the outcome and posted on the sports book in Las Vegas.

John Avello, director of race and sports book operations at the Wynn Las Vegas says “No money will change hands and it’s purely for entertainment.”

Uh, yeah right.

The English Springer spaniel is the favorite at 25-1. Forget betting on the dogs we're accustomed to - greyhounds have 1000-1 odds. Damn. Don't tell my boy Rocky.

Avello also has the odds on a dog from the terrier group winning the title listed at 2-1, with a dog ranked at 1-2 over a bitch at 9-5. He also believes that the odds favor a male handler being on the other end of the leash of the winning dog.

It kind of brings a new meaning to "Over-Under."
