There are lots of rumors and predictions flying around about what's going to happen at next weeks Worldwide Developer Conference. You can find them on most any tech website (including this one, natch). But what if you want to have a little fun with your rumors? Check out these time -- and money -- wasters:

• John Siracusa's keynote bingo: A Stevenote tradition, keynote bingo gives you something to do if you aren't liveblogging the thing. Bingo spaces include a 3G iPhone, a sub-$300 iPhone, Mobile Me and Steve himself giving his famous "boom" during a demo.

• Gambling: Sportsbook Bodog is offering odds on a few Apple rumors. You can bet on Apple announcing a 32GB iPhone, a "thin" iPhone, if Apple will announce Mac OS X 10.6 at WWDC and more. The max bet is only $50 and the odds seem pretty on the mark. Worth a laugh, and if you're the betting type, maybe your money too.

• The Industry Standard Prediction Market: Of course, if you really want too show off your guessing abilities hit up our prediction market. You can bet on a number of Apple-related items including if the iPhone includes GPS and a .Mac relaunch. No risk of losing your money here, but no betting on "booms" either.
