Someone once said that gambling was the finest thing a person could do, provided they were good at it.

Granted, this is paraphrasing, but the same logic still applies; if there's something interesting out there, people will bet on it, especially if there's something to win in the end.

Gambling and game site bodog.com has placed odds on which companies Internet giant Google will probably buy next.

Leading the pack is Facebook, the social networking web site that currently stands only second to MySpace. Bettors have currently placed five to one odds in the business and financial section with speculators offering seven to one odds that Google will buy out CNet Networks and the Associated Press.

It's speculation, but it's interesting. If you have any ideas or opinions about this, let us know.
