Paddy Power Launches Iceland Volcano Betting Site
While most are fed up with the volcano ash cloud being spewed by Eyjafjallajökull, some creative minds are benefitting in the most enterprising ways.
Ireland's largest bookmaker, Paddy Power, just launched a brand new website, VolcanoBetting.com.
The site features an airplane maneuvering around an erupting volcano while a young disgruntled passenger seemingly lugs her two bags around in the foreground.
The Iceland volcano has disrupted flights in Europe over the past few weeks. Paddy Power's home base of Ireland has been among the hardest hit by flight cancellations.
"Take the risk out of volcanic ash spoiling your summer holiday. Simply place a bet on your departure airport closing on your travel date due to volcanic ash. We are offering odds on a variety of UK and Irish International airports covering departure dates until the end of the summer. So don't let the volcano cost you cash, hedge your holiday with paddypower.com."
Paddy Power had been offering odds of various volcanoes erupting on its website prior to launching the new venture. They were also offering odds on when Eyjafjallajökull would finally stop erupting.
