Irish bookie taking bets on the next bankrupt airline
Irish bookie Paddy Power has a long history of funny and quirky wagers. One of their latest is right up our alley - pick the next airline to go bankrupt. Before you pull out your wallet to bet on the demise of your personal favorite airline, you'll need to know that Paddy Power does not accept U.S. based customers (blame the government for that).
Those outside the U.S. could make a fortune if Air Force One happens to go bankrupt, though more realistic chances are offered on British Airways and several small European low cost carriers.
The fineprint is simple - the airline must cease operations and ground its entire fleet. Airlines cutting routes or other services do not count. If you were a betting kind of person, what would your money be on? Leave your "bet" in the comments!
