You can now (legally) bet on surfing in the US

Australian audiences have, for a long time, been enjoying the added thrill of monetary chance while watching professional surfing events. Thanks to TopSport (God bless you, Luke Munro), risk of losing cash has added droplets of sweat to even a round one match up between Bede Durbidge and Adam Melling at two-foot Barra da Tijuca!

But now, US audiences can bet on surfing too! Fantasy Grudge involves no house to bet against. You bet against other fabulous degenerates and syphon money from each other’s pockets at the end of every heat. If ever there was a way to improve that Bells webcast, this is it. All you need is the ability to know when to stop.

For those with the appropriate will power, Teahupoo, which starts in nine-ish days, may’ve just got a shade more interesting.
