It is in parentheses under "novelty bet" and I think it would be a novelty for whatever poor sod that's what lost his job first.
Lowering the e-mail as regular as the Grim Reaper's clock work in the mailbox. This is one of the leading bookmakers to inform the recipients of the last chance in the sack race. "The label must be questioned because it is the only race in the world where the participants are desperate to finish last. But for the purposes of the e-issue a "race" is to stay.
This weekend saw Bolton's Owen Coyle lost control of the brakes. He is "the biggest mover", cut to 6-1 from 10-1. At the head of the market remains Steve Kean, whose after-burners Uncontainable the chance to see him fly out of Ewood Park straight on the Dole queue. Says Steve Bruce is not far behind him and, also, that the housewife's favorite of the race, Mick McCarthy. I ask you, what are the top four needs for excitement?
Is there really out there sad enough to sit on someone lose their employment? I'm sure they are, because after all the "Death League" is still as popular as ever bored offices up and down the country. But in what number and what belief? I've always assumed it was the bookies try to free publicity to get as favorite for the ax "makes a juicy head. Yet there are so many novelty chance today quoted I can not be sure. Surely they would not all the cyber space debris simply a listing. So you have the market on the first Premier League club ban on Twitter, chances of Robbie Savage hosting Question Time, and for those who really wild speculation, the future of Carlos Tevez . Away from football, you can bet on the next EU country to default, the possibility of hundreds who lost their jobs by Rupert Murdoch quit Britain altogether and, I kid you not, which country will be the next to ban the burka . To think, novelty betting used to focus the snow on Christmas, Christmas No 1 and aliens arriving on earth in the Millennium (they were not all that David Icke claims - I still have the 10.000-1 slips to prove it).
If this cup accept explosion of concern? The anti-gambling groups think so. And if you look at Sky Sports and see Ray Winstone's head popping over that of the old Richard Keys advise that Robin van Persie 9-4 to score the next goal that you can understand their concerns. Imagine a gamblerholic and there on the couch, trying to get your mind to take the dogs at Romford by looking a little footie. Ray then appears that the Godfather of the Geezer and his Cockney patter is related pending a menthol in front of an ex-smoker with a pint in their hands, just after a big meal. "It's not real betting, it's my ol 'China is a little flutta ...? "
Except it is and it's not. Gambling ruins lives and the fact they can advertise as challenging, with a sinister timing, with such a shameless transparency, in my opinion is rather sick. My liberal tendencies mean I would not so far to prohibit "novelty betting", but I can not see how one could argue that sport a much better place without it would be. True, the underground bookies in Asia will still plague cricket with everything 'spot-betting ", but would not someone in the game for one of those so-called" betting angels "came under the spotlight.
And here's the most outrageous aspect of this "innovation efforts". The bookies falcon chance to work with all the integrity of a son of Barrow and then, when someone with some inside knowledge - a cousin of the President, the cleaner of the driver - enough to be tempted to arrange a few sharp 50s, the bookies jumping up and down like they've just been through Bernie Madoff. Hey, it was the bookies' idea, in their wisdom or otherwise they have a price on the possibilities, they invited people to act on a suspicion, or, indeed, different. But no, they just want the cup tenners not informed the hundreds, and the sports authorities actually ask them for help to identify criminals. Everything, but everything is feeling in favor of the bookies. Even the ethical myth.
Like anyone with a bit of dignity to invest in the potential misery of a husband and father to lose his job, so all this speculating and accumulating on the unfolding recession, the sensitive issues of Islam, each and all this world is so unstable immoral. This is gaming as a separate reality where the inhabitants are immune from normal sensitivity. It is not. But the addicts led to believe that in the desperation of their own needs that Van Persie back to win money.
So they continue to Kean stack, while the Pennines a mystery Punter, whose description, you would not know, that is perfectly Ellis Short's butler, £ 10,000 has plonked on Bruce's impending departure. Meanwhile, McCarthy forever totters on the brink Coyle and prepare for the fourth must-win game this month.
