Placing the probability on the 2006 Hurricane Season
With less than six weeks before the start of the 2006
hurricane season, individuals along the coast are stocking up on
essential items and taking "the calm before the storm" quite seriously.
The record-shattering 2005 Atlantic hurricane season may have only
been the start - as all signs point to another severe season. Although
the strength and number of hurricanes is impossible to predict, leading
analysts at BetCRIS.com Sportsbook took time out from sports to assign a probability to nature.

"While clients can certainly bet on the likelihood of a hurricane,
our intention was to review the shifts in annual weather patterns and
determine the likelihood of another difficult hurricane season," said BetCRIS.com's
CEO, Mickey Richardson. "From our perspective, 2006 is not going to be
a good year for Florida or the rest of the Gulf Coast."
