Whats your Bet?

We all know that this contest has spawned an internationl interest like no other! The "best job in the world" campaign has made to an international list for the top 50 public relations stunts in the world. The Tour de France, the Beatles 1969 rooftop gig and Madonna kissing Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV awards are further down the list.

The "fame" quotient of the contest has also stepped up a notch now that "The bookies" have got to it. The Bookies have pegged me at - $23.50!!!!!! Now I know how the horses at the Turf Club Feel! :)

All of us have "bet" sometime or the other in our lives. Wether it is that harmless game of poker at the casino, or throwing away thousands at the turf club, betting and gambling as a "Social Phenomenon" actually has helped bring people together. If there was a tension at a table, those feelings dissipated as soon as the cards were placed! If there was domestic anger, it dissapears as soon as the cricket match starts.

Have you ever entered a room at a party or some other type of social gathering in which a group of men stood to one side of the room sipping a cocktail and talking and laughing? The chances are great that they were discussing the outcome of an athletic event, or discussing the odds on the upcoming cricket or football. It really didn’t matter that these men had different views on politics, religion, ecology, and the solutions to solving the economic crisis. What did matter was that these men had a social bond, and it was sports betting/gambling. For them, gambling transcended any and all ideological differences that existed among them.

I would say the bookies reaction to the "Best Job in the world campaign" is like Sports betting. The difference between the sports betting, and the other games of chance is the illusion for the probability of gain. The people who bet believe that they have bigger chances to win because they themselves choose the sporting events (and the sportsmen) on whom they will place their bets and make the possible combinations within the framework of the rules that are generally accepted by all the betting places.

Lets accept it - gambling is the most popular recreational activity among adults throughout the world today, and it is increasing in its popularity each year. Gambling has become the social phenomenon of the 21st Century, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

So who you betting on? Bet on Anjaan
