 |  Avoiding Controversial Casinos Odds
30 Nov 2005
What are the odds at online casinos that Israel or the United States will take unilateral action against Iran, what with evidence that Iran is indeed seeking nuclear weapons, dangerous comments from the president of that country giving the heeby-jeebies to the governments in Jerusalem and Washington, and Iranian intransigence regarding negotiations with the EU and nuclear processes that Iran wants to be engaged in but much of the world does not want it to be? The odds, pun intended, are that you won’t find such odds because there are political odds you can easily find, and then there are those that could find you with a fatwa being passed against you.
Why is it, though, that you’ll see odds at online casino sites about whether White House aides will resign in a scandal, but not about sensitive issues like the conflicts in the Middle East? Online casinos don’t want to call attention to themselves is a big part of it. They may be controversial when it comes to marketing tactics, but ads are one thing – odds are another. You may, of course, be able to find online casinos that have posted odds on the likelihood of some war or other breaking out in the Middle East, but for many gamblers, let alone casino execs, that’s a line they don’t want to cross.
And can you blame them? In such a world as exists now, with excuses being made about this or that, an online casino doesn’t want to offer odds on the Middle East when in response, if it is a public company trading on the London Stock Exchange, terrorists might target those that work for or with the online casino company. It is serious business these days being an online casino company, and online gambling execs have to pay attention to the realities of the world around them. |
