I hear the Brits will bet on the craziest of things and that the gambling industry in the UK is massive. Well I see here a new business opportunity for us Lebanese to place bets on hot issues such as the latest one: Is there Qaeda or not in Lebanon? 10$ per bet.
Odds are against Defence minister Ghosn as he insists there is Al-Qaeda.
Prime Minister Mikati, Minister of Interior Charbel & ex-MP Wi2am Wahhab denied any Al-Qaeda existence in Lebanon.
Other potential bets:
– How many “2ah” will Haifa say in her next song?
– Who will win a mud wrestling fight between Elissa & Haifa?
– When will Saad Hariri come back?
– Who will win a boxing game between Alloush & Chaker? Or Wi2am Wahhab and Walid el Moallem?
– What will be the highest price for an NYE ticket in Lebanon?
Even though I set this post to be under “humor”, I think a betting website on such things will work great in Lebanon, and the fact that most officials in Lebanon have rarely facts to base their statements on will spice things up.
so you are proposing a successful idea for free. Anyway humor might be fine specially at the end of the year but this humor hides a terrible and destructive situation our society is living on almost all levels. Social, cultural , political etc… I wish we can improve our situation in 2012 although i’m not that optimistic !
Happy New Year
