Credit Crunch Could Lead To Massive City Riots According To Bookies
Wednesday 01 October 2008 at 12:22
 Irish bookmakers Paddy Power, famous for their imaginative betting markets on current affairs, are betting on which will be the first major city worldwide to riot due to economic influences or factors.
New York Favourite To Be First Riot City
With the US amongst the worst hit it has to be New York that is favourite as that is the hub of the financial trade in the country. Further problems on Wall Street could feasibly lead to riots and New York is 9/4 with Paddy Power to be the first to riot.
Paris And Washington Amongst Riot Favourites
Paris is no stranger to protests and these could turn nasty according to Paddy Power who have the French capital as the second favourite at 3/1. Just behind Paris is US capital Washington at 10/3. With the US Presidential race hotting up there is going to be plenty of action in Washington and this could be the centre of a protest. Protest can turn to riots without too much of a spark so it is no surprise they are amongst the favourites.
Britain Not Safe From Results
Britain could also see some riots with London a 9/2 shot, Dublin 7/1 and Manchester 8/1. For a full list of cities and odds visit the Paddy Power website.
