    moneybag Bet on Olympic athletes? This way, it's OK..

    There are few topics in sport more taboo than betting. Ask baseball's Pete Rose.

    But a new organization is wagering that it's not only possible to openly bet on Olympic athletes, you can raise money for charity at the same time.

    Charitybets.com, founded by Auburn University track and field alums, allows anyone to select from a roster of Olympic hopefuls who've agreed to let their performance be bet on. All money wagered will go to the charity of the athlete's choice. It's a first of its kind concept that's sure to generate attention as the summer London 2012 Games draw closer.
