Fanduel is taking bets on when the project will be completed.
“Our goal is to engage in the conversations our customers are already having, offering odds on the moments that resonate,” a spokesperson for the website told Global News in an email.
They said the site has been taking bets on the project for about a month now and it has begun to catch on.
“We have seen increasing interest in these markets with 30 per cent of all bets being placed this week,” the spokesperson said.
“The top two most popular timelines are ‘On or after November 1st’ and ‘Before or on August 31st’.”
Bettors will get paid +550 for the former and +1100 for the latter. A $10 bet on Before or on August 31st pays out $110.
The favourite is for a launch between Sept. 16 and Sept. 30 at +195, followed by between Sept. 1 and Sept. 15 at +210. Other options include the first and last two weeks of October.
