BetUS Posts Odds on Oil PricesOil prices have been fluctuating for almost a year now driving gas prices in the US and elsewhere through the roof. That much is not news. What is news however is the fact that oil prices rose sharply Friday on news that a ship under contract to the U.S. Defense Department fired warning shots at two boats in the Persian Gulf. Retail gas prices as expected rose further into record territory nearing $3.60 a gallon.
With tension and speculation in America rising as exponentially as the prices themselves, BetUS posted odds on just what the ceiling will be with regard to oil prices.
"With news of the warning shots being fired spreading, site users and those curious and or worried alike have been flooding our site," stated BetUS spokesman Reed Richards. "The fact is, people know we are an unbiased, accurate source for predictive information for everything ranging from sports to politics to international news. We feel obliged to provide accurate, up to the minute information."
