Bookie’s offer to bet cash on the ash

VOLCANO betting could soon erupt as frustrated travellers are given the opportunity to bet on their misfortune and scoop up to €2,000 in the process.

Paddy Power is offering odds on the likelihood of airports in Ireland and Britain closing in June, July and August due to the volcanic eruptions.

To win, the airport in question must be fully shut for at least one hour due only to the volcanic ash.
