Paddy Gets Peculiar – Crazy Bets at Paddy Powe

Published by Matt Greene on January 17, 2010

We love a whimsical bet. Something out of the ordinary and different. And here at Gambling Source we have found our alternative amusement for the day in the form of Paddy Power.

Here are three of our favourite unusual bets.

3. CEO sack race

It’s been a tough financial year and plenty of big companies have
been feeling the pinch. Which will be the next to sack their head honcho? The odds offered are:

5/2 Willie Walsh – BA
3/1 Giles Thorley – Punch Taverns
9/2 Eric Daniels – Lloyds
6/1 John Browett – DSG
6/1 John Condron – Yell
8/1 Michael Queen – 3i
8/1 Stephen Hester – RBS
12/1 Mark Clare – Barratt
14/1 Peter Redfern – Taylor Wimpey
25/1 Terry Leahy – Tesco
33/1 Justin King – Sainsbury

We’ll be putting all our eggs in the Eric Daniels basket. So long sucker.

2. Twits leaving twitter

As plenty of celebrities have found out, advertising your business on Twitter isn’t always a great idea. Who will be the next to leave? The odds offered are:

4/1 John Cleese
5/1 Andy Murray
6/1 Russell Brand
8/1 Alan Carr
10/1 Graeme Swann
10/1 Jonathan Ross
12/1 Boris Johnson
18/1 Philip Schofield
20/1 Ashton Kutcher

This is a tough one, Ashton and Russell are staying where they are so we’re going for the sulky Andy Murray on this one.

1. Doomsday Clock Movements:

This is far and away our favourite. The Doomsday clock has recently moved back a minute, so apparently we should all be very optimistic. Where do you think it will go next? The bets offered are:

Next Doomsday Clock Change
2/5 Closer to Midnight
7/4 Further from Midnight

Time of Doomsday Clock after Change
50/1 Midnight
33/1 1 Minute to Midnight
12/1 2 Minutes to Midnight
6/1 3 Minutes to Midnight
5/2 4 Minutes to Midnight
11/8 5 Minutes to Midnight
4/1 7 Minutes to Midnight
6/1 8 Minutes to Midnight
16/1 9 Minutes to Midnight
20/1 10 Minutes to Midnight

When will the clock be changed again?
8/1 2010
9/2 2011
7/2 2012
3/1 2013
11/4 2014
5/2 2015 or later

This is a tough one to call. We’re going to say closer to Midnight, 5 minutes to Midnight and it will happen next year.
