Prop Wagers Keyed to Howard Stern & Sirius Radio Are Offered at Online Sportsbook CaribSports.com

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) June 3, 2006 -- Celebrityhood these days is more tenuous than ever, given all the personalities who are desperately trying to extend their time in the limelight, and a fickle public's short attention span. But one performer has maintained his Top Dog status despite brickbats from outraged critics, costly government sanctions, and more imitators than Elvis: Howard Stern.

Combining an outrageous approach to sexual hijinks with a cutting-edge sense of humor which appeals to a demographic that is definitely not the Moral Majority, the original shock jock earned his exalted status by drawing 12 million listeners every week as a funny and irreverent broadcaster on AM radio.

Relying on sexually oriented material that, in the opinion of many observers, is offensive and in poor taste, Stern parlayed his unique sense of humor into a huge following that adores his salacious and anti-establishment shtick.

A few years ago, Stern and the broadcasting company that aired his show drew a $495,000 fine for indecency from the Federal Communications Commission. So, today the Howard Stern Show is the programming Jewel in the Crown for Sirius Satellite Radio.

Satellite radio is a new service offering high quality sound and is commercial free as well as unfettered by federal regulations.

Taking full advantage of the greater freedom accorded programming on satellite radio, Stern continues to fly high. So strong is the unflappable radio host’s popularity that a leading online sportsbook has posted three topical proposition wagers keyed to his show and Sirius Radio.

Caribsports.com is offering the following prop bets:

Will Sal the Stockbroker be fired by the end of the year 2006?

Yes -115    No -115

With the Sirius stock price finish over 5 by the end of the year 2006?

Yes +160    No -200

Will Sirius hit 5 million registered subscribers by the end of 2006?

Yes -170    No +140

“Howard Stern is so popular, and has given such a strong boost to the growth of Sirius Radio, that we are responding to the public's interest in voicing their opinion on his antics,” said Diana Cuello, odds manager at Caribsports.

“We are just like a store that lines its shelves with popular items for customers. In the case of Howard, the power of his celebrity is so strong that we must give our players the opportunity to back their opinions regarding Stern and the company that airs his show,” she added.
