Airline Threatens To Sue Betting Site For Taking Bets On When It Would Go Out Of Business
from the what's-illegal-about-that? dept
Apparently, a Scottish airline, Flyglobespan, has threatened to sue an online betting site because it was taking bets on what airline would be the next to go out of business, and had odds on Flyglobespan. The site did stop taking bets, but says it was due to a lack of interest, rather than the threat of a lawsuit. However, it's not clear what law it would be breaking to offer such a bet. You can understand that the company is concerned that potential passengers might think the airline is at risk, but it's not clear that's enough to stop any such bets.Filed Under: airlines, bets, failure, scotland
