Gawker Media has launched another new entrepreneurial blog - Oddjack - the gambling blog. It has categories on Event Betting, Politics, NBA Playoff Lines etc.
Whilst Adsense won’t be an option for this blog (they don’t like gambling sites) there is plenty of opportunity for affiliate programs and other advertising and I suspect it’ll generate some good income.
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

I personally know somebody who had a decent ranking for a casino-related word and was offered 10K/month for three ads on their main page. It’s incredible what kind of income comes from that stuff.

Top gambling affiliates are earning in excess of $100 000 per month, and even that figure may be on the low side. This market is huge, extremely cut throat and pretty saturated, so getting in at this point in time won’t be an easy ride. For the persistent, patient few, it may very well be worth their while.

I was amazed that Gawker didn’t get into this sooner. Kind of fit their other blogs, at least with Gawker and Defamer, the jetset type, wanting to find a game or at least learn how not to get hosed during a game.
