Can't see this on their website. Why would she resign now after all the stuff she has already presided over? Bad value imo.

Couldn't really bet on this surely but each to their own..

Available at 5.0 on BF which is better than 15/4 after commission. If you don't have a BF account Boyles are 7/2.

You have to ring them to get the odds for these. They will give you odds on anything.Just to see what odds they would give me on obama i rang.

I don't believe for a second that pp gave odds for obama to be shot.

This suggests otherwise http://www.gambling911.com/politics/obama-assassination-bet-bad-taste-odds-still-offered-110708.html

Although it seems to contradict what a mate said about PP's reaction when it was suggested on Ireland AM that they'd be betting on this type of thing next.

cormywormy

your dead right paddy irishman PP was offering 16/1 now its 12/1. That lad will give odds on anything.

freyners

would take the bet on 6 nations but not the other two


Harney has more chance of becoming a size 0 b4 she resigns

I don't think it's odds on Obama to be shot per se but I heard it was "Obama to not finish hid first term" and they would payout if was shot.

Its was to be shot and kill.
Impeachment and resigning were options too.

Its pretty stupid



Obama to win 2012 is a far better bet

Agree 100% with this. Was 4/5 a few weks agao when I was looking at it. Was toying with the idea of sticking a tenner on a week for next couple of years. Unless he has a disastrous term (which considering the mess he inherited would involve starting a nuclear war) he already looks like the most popular President since JFK. Of course, it's still early days but I like this bet

sick bet on obama, paddy should bycotted for this.

12/1 is a shocking prize. It's not the 1960's lads and if Bush can survive then anyone can. It will be almot impossible to kill him, and I certainly wouldnt relay on a load of inbred red-neck retards getting it done. Honestly, would you want to back a 12/1 shot relying on someone like magicass to kill the president of the USA? I wouldnt be confident in backing him to tie his shoe laces at 12/1.

Every time Obama will be in public he will have a 12 foot sheet of bullet proof glass around him. Times of president riding down the street willy nilly in an open top car are long gone.

Jeez no way!!

Just that backing him to get elected for a second term and having a regular punt on it would not be a bad idea.

I dont think it would be a great idea. The republicans made a massive **** up in the last election by having a pensioner with one foot in the grave go for president with a a crazy idiot as his sidekick.

If the republicans were able to round up a young candidate with a half compident(sp?) VP they would of ran Obama very close. Also, I dont think it's a good idea to place a bet on Obama when no one no's what he is like as president.

Jam-Fly

Alot of people I know have been wondering the same thing (odds on Obama being shot), and although it would be 'interesting' to see the odds, I think it would be pretty disgraceful if PP offered odds and accepted bets on this.

Running Bing

I did not think they were allowed take bets like this?


Pretty sick, PP boycotted for me and 12/1 is an absolutely laughable price.

x in the city

12/1 lol

PP are some tight arses

that bet is a non runner and who ever would bet on it is not right in the head...ahem

Chucky the tree

They arent orffering the obama to be shot bet, there offering obama not to finish his 4 year term.

The incumbrent rarely fails to get a second term. There is much less uncertainty involved.

Don't think this is true.
Out of the last 7 its 4-3 for incumbants winning a second term (Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush2 winning, but Ford, Carter and Bush1 losing).

Mellor

To be fair, Ford was never elected a first time. Nor was LJB (who got a second term). So cancelling these off each other. And taking the 7 presidents since JFK, its 5-2 for incumbrents getting a second term.

Jam-Fly

I think it's only fair to count Carter and Bush Sr as not getting second terms

Just talked to one a mate of mine in Paddy Power who knows what is going on.

Paddy Power will never do a novelty bet on someone dieing / being assinated etc.

They did have bets on Obama not finishing his first term, but did they for George W as well. Options included impeachment, resign etc not "killed".

It was lazy sensasionlist journalism that orginally made a story that didnt exist.

If he has a heartache/some other nartural cause will they pay-out or will it be void?

No they wont because you have to chose from their options why he isn't finishing his first term. eg impeachment, resign etc

As someone already pointed out the bet is not for him to be shot but for him not to finish his term which would cover impeachment, resignation, death, end of the world....

Actually, just thinking further on this Reagan was shot but lived so if this happened the bet would be a loser. Good enough for anyone who bets on somebody dying, deserve to lose their money IMO
