By now you know the Motley Crue reunion tour will be hitting the Palace of Auburn Hills on February 25th, and I figured it would give me a chance to turn my odds venture into a reality (or at least in this article).

Here are the “Art Michalski Detroit Buzz House of Bets” for the Motley Crue “Better Live Than Dead Tour," including the show on February 25th. Please come back on the 26th, to see if any of these bets can be claimed:

• The original four members of Motley Crue will ever tour again after 2005: ODDS: 75-1

Disclaimer: Winning bets may be collected and by being given Art’s seal of approval and congratulations. No actual monetary winnings will be given because “Art’s House of Odds” is cheap and needs to save all of his money for a new car, or another vacation, or whatever the hell he wishes. If you do win, and want to collect from Motley Crue themselves, “Art’s House of Odds” wishes you the best of luck. Your best chance at collection will be Nikki or Mick, because it’s likely that Vince Neil is dead broke after plastic surgery and Tommy Lee is broke from putting all of his money into the swear jar at his house.

Place your bets and have fun! And… Shout At The Devil!
