Wanna know the odds of Wrestlemania being canceled or rescheduled in Tampa Bay? Ask Las Vegas.

Ross Stevens of Bovoda sports betting company gave Creative Loafing Tampa these odds as of 11:53 a.m EDT:

Will Wrestlemania be canceled or rescheduled?
Yes -500
No+300

That probably looks confusing if you’re not familiar with the three methods of stating odds that most bookmakers and websites support, and the math is a little confusing, but what it translates to in terms of implied probability to is an 83.3% chance of Wreslemania being canceled or rescheduled and a 25% of it not being canceled or rescheduled.

The odds are changing by the minute, and Tampa Mayor Jane Castor is supposed to make an official announcement on Thursday afternoon.
