BOOKMAKER TAKES STAND AGAINST WAR BETS
BetWWTS.com Believes Highly Publicized Bets Are In Poor Taste
St. John’s, Antigua (March 12, 2003)—Recently the media has been reporting about numerous companies in the Internet gaming industry that are accepting wagers on various betting options on a potential war in Iraq. The management of BetWWTS.com has received numerous inquiries regarding such propositions and has refused to offer similar betting options, feeling that bet offers of this type are simply in bad taste. While the company is willing to accept wagers on entertainment events, television shows and various pop cultural and world happenings (including hot dog eating competitions and Ground Hog Day), BetWWTS.com feels it is inappropriate to offer bets on any event where people’s lives are at risk.
“War is something that nobody should be taking lightly and accepting bets on a potential conflict in Iraq, trivializes the loss of human life,” said Simon Noble, CEO of BetWWTS.com. “When we were approached by several customers and reporters in the fall requesting betting options on a potential war, we told them that for the same reason BetWWTS.com will not offer ‘death pools’ we won’t offer bets on a war because they are in poor taste.”
“Bet offers on military conflicts, terrorist attacks and the like we feel are not only morally wrong, but give the gaming industry a black eye, which substantially outweighs any publicity companies may hope to achieve by making these offers,” concluded Mr. Noble.
