trueLove Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Since past and present life on Mars is being reported by Mars rovers, what are the financial implications for the betting company Ladbrokes and its parent company Hilton? http://www.ladbrokes.com/lbr_portal?s_type=float They have been betting heavily against life on Mars. Can they go broke any day now? Read the article: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4440118/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I don't think the betting companies have to worry about going broke tbh. All the rovers have shown is that Mars once had a wet climate, not that the planet supported life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueLove Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 Let us consider the highly hypothetical, NASA announces tomorrow that it has discovered life organisms on Mars. What would be the implications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I imagine the betting companies would lose quite a lot of money. Compared to their takings from sports bets etc though, I don't think they'd be in serious trouble, and even if they were, I wouldn't care too much.
