People can bet on Miss World, Election, Sports and other events that it is not someone that fixed the result or set the date. I have not heard of this kind of bet before until today.
Some people posted that such people like the bodyguard should not be allowed to bet on the date of Election but what if he told someone to help him out and the money will be shared? Or is something like this can not be manipulated? If you know what would be the result of something, you can do one or two or more manipulation with that thing.
I think betting sites should not be allowed to include such bet. They should not just only be blaming the man. I see the betting site faults also. Why making people to bet on a result that someone set?
Like seriously having read that thread my response to it was they should temper justice with Mercy,tho the bodyguard shouldn't have placed such bets on that particular date and probably he thinks giving it out to someone else to do it and they share it won't be comfortable for him so he decided to take such risks.
But I think people can bet on any of this big event's it's not like the date was fixed, if one choose to bet or not to it's their choice and thinking betting sites care about what happens out there! I bet you they don't rather they are happier their making huge sum of money and what I usually observe during such events people tend to bets more, I wonder why it's so.
