Let's take you back to 1995: one man proclaims his love for his friend on The Jenny Jones Show, then ends up getting killed by his crush. Michael Jordan returns to basketball (the first time). Oklahoma City. The Unibomber. Windows 95. Singer Selena is killed.

And, of course, "If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit."

Fast forward 12 years later: David Letterman on Oprah. Brett Farve is still the quarterback for the Packers. Windows Vista. Angelina Jolie may or may not be pregnant. Again.

And O.J. comes out (then doesn't) with "If I Did It," ends up losing the rights to publish it to the Brown and Goldman families, then the Goldman family wants to publish it, then is arrested at the Palace Station here in lovely Las Vegas.

Now the funny thing here in town isn't that OJ was arrested (and we get this "new and improved O.J." mugshot), but that he was arrested at the Palace Station, not exactly the most glamorous casino in Vegas. That doesn't mean it's not still awesome, at least from a Vegas gossip point of view.

So in honor of O.J. getting cuffed in our homebase, we bring back betUS's odds on what's next for the man, the myth, the legend named Orenthal James Simpson. Here are some highlights:

O.J. will rob a bank at +3000: You know, the way things are going, I'm surprised this doesn't have better odds by now. If he gets away this time, he probably will just end up walking into a bank, no mask, and just walk out with a bag of cash.
O.J. will next being a music career at +1500: M.C. O.J.? It's Federline-tastic.
O.J. will be #1 on the NY Times best-sellers list at +300: I would think this is more feasible, only because of the Brown and Goldman families being on Oprah last week and all the press that generated. With O.J. getting arrested again, it's almost too coincidental.
O.J. will reach top 5 on the NY times best sellers at -120: This has slightly better odds than being in the top 10, though it's more likely than being #1.
