Offshore bookie Sportsbook.com has halted betting on the show after receiving a disproportionately high number of bets on one team to win the whole shebang.

The betting site became suspicious and pulled the plug on Amazing Race wagers once a significant number of maximum bets came in over a 12-hour period from Mar. 3 to Mar. 4 from accounts originating in California and Massachusetts.

So far, only three teams have been eliminated from the show, leaving eight teams in the running--seemingly too many to make a sure bet on who the winners will be.

Unless, of course, the results of the pretaped reality show were already leaked, which is what Sportsbook.com is betting on.

Possible winners are SPOILER ALERT


In the past, sketchy betting patterns have proven accurate on a number of reality shows, including The Apprentice 2, Survivor: Pearl Islands, Survivor: The Amazon and the Aaron Buerge edition of The Bachelor.

Interesting, but I remember several instances of similar betting irregularities proving to NOT be accurate. I believe such a thing happened on the first season of "The Apprentice."

But hey, you get what you deserve if you choose to place or take bets on a result which is already know by at least a large handful of people.
