May 28 - Young students from across the US and Canada will have to out-spell
287 other middle school students beginning May 29 if they're going to take home
a trophy, $35,000 in cash and recognition as the best speller in the country at
the 2008 Scripps Spelling Bee in Washington.
The buzz surrounding the "Bee" as it's known in intellectual and crazed
parental circles has grown exponentially in recent years, and in 2008, the hype
is ready to explode. People are completely mesmerized by the spectacle of nerdy
stardom and nowhere else is this more evident than in the huge up-tick in site
traffic at
BetUS.com, by
site users looking to wager on every possible scenario regarding the world's
largest educational challenge.
BetUS.com posted odds on every possible Bee scenario – including whether the
winner will be wearing the stereotypical studious costume of spectacular
spectacles (Admit it, you wouldn't have been able to spell that if it wasn't
written here ;).

National Spelling Bee:
Gender of winner
