Think you’re a Tim Tebow expert? Or just feeling lucky? Here’s your chance to prove it.

Tebow is now an outfielder for the New York Mets, and the organization recently announced it would send off the former 29-year-old Heisman winner to the Arizona Fall League (AFL) this offseason.

Although he didn’t have quite the luck transitioning from college football to the NFL, his fortunes could change in the MLB. And now you can bet on it.

Bookmaker.eu has released odds on what might unfold when Tebow makes his first plate appearance next week in the AFL, and how he’ll do generally during league play. Here’s a look at where the odds stand as of now:
