BetUS.com releases iPhone-related odds

When the iPhone finally hits streets on June 29, odds are that early adopters will be swarming Apple retail stores to try and get one for themselves. Also, odds are 20 to 1 that someone gets trampled in the process.

That’s according to BetUS.com. The betting site has also put out odds on other possible iPhone-related occurrences and incidents like the phone’s screen cracks like Apple’s first-gen iPod Nano (150 to 1), reports of the battery life turning out to be less than the promised 8 hours (10 to 1) and the iPhone spontaneously combusts (150 to 1).

According to LiveScience, the idea for creating these odds stemmed from past electronic firsts that, while being embraced enthusiastically by consumers, turned out to have a lot of bugs and defects. “This phone has everything but the kitchen sink,” said BetUS.com spokesman Reed Richards. “With the seemingly endless options that the phone offers, the chances for a malfunction are likely.”
