MEDIA ALERT: Public Pulled From Betting on Enron
BetCRIS Sportsbook
closes odds on whether or not Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling will be
convicted due to numbers reaching significant heights - pointing toward
a definite conviction.
BetCRIS closed the betting at the following odds:
Will Kenneth Lay be convicted?
- Yes / 1 to 80
- No / 1.4 to 1
Will Jeff Skilling be convicted?
- Yes / 1 to 100
- No / 1.5 to 1
"This is possibly the biggest trial in business history," said Mickey Richardson, CEO of BetCRIS.com.
"And as such clients were rushing to place their bets, but the odds
became so outrageous that those who wanted to wager on Lay and
Skilling's conviction became upset when they were quoted such a high
price. At those numbers we thought it was best to close the odds."
