Gambling on prep sports?

| | Comments (0) |

It’s official: there is now an offshore gambling Web site which will take bets on high school football games.

On a Jamaica-based site, thegreek.com, last week’s Oaks Christian of Westlake Village vs. St. Bonaventure of Ventura game was listed as a gambling line. The Lions, who were listed as 3 ½ point favorites, defeated St. Bonaventure 59-13 Friday night in a match-up of nationally-ranked teams.

The site, which limits high school bets to a maximum of 200 dollars, also offers a proposition bet based on whether or not Oaks Christian quarterback Jimmy Clausen will win a Heisman trophy in his Notre Dame career.

The site offers no more high school lines for September, but will include eight games in October, including the Oct. 7 match-up between De La Salle of Concord and Mission Viejo.
