What are you doing on Wednesday May 27th?
If you didn’t like the outcome of this year’s Celebrity Apprentice… and who did?… then this is your chance to join in a little good natured revenge with proceeds going to Refugees International.
(I mean really – while I admit that the last few Celebrity Apprentice episodes were hysterically entertaining, everyone knows that the best quality finale would have been between Jesse James vs Annie Duke.

Full press release after the break.

These aren’t necessarily tied to whether a team will win or lose the game, but rather what happens in the events surrounding the Super Bowl. But a proposition bet doesn’t have to revolve around the Super Bowl or sports at all. Sometimes, these bets are a bit more obscure and interesting.
