Oscar Pistorius’s trial is becoming a day at the horse races. Irish bookmaker, Paddy Power, is sparking controversy by offering bets on the outcome of the trial.
If bakery’s were willing to make a quick buck from the trial, you would be darned sure to find a bookie doing like wise. The betting site had this on the murder verdict page:
Singles Only. Applies to the verdict of Oscar Pistorius’ first trial for the charge of premeditated murder. Bets void should charge be changed from ‘premeditated murder’ before verdict. Bets void should mistrial be declared. Bets will not be accepted on this market from permanent residents of South Africa.
The current odds on the Pistorius trial stand at 2-5 for a not guilty verdict, and 7-4 for a guilty verdict.
