Bookies take bets on Twitter acquisition
Thu Apr 16 2009, 18:22 PM
Online gambling sites are taking bets on Twitter being bought sometime this year, following speculation earlier this month that Google is in talks to buy the micro-blogging site.
US-focused site, BetOnline.com, which operates out of Panama City, names Google as the most likely suitor, offering even money that it will buy Twitter. The odds of Facebook buying the site are currently 5-1, with Microsoft a 10-1 shot and Yahoo! an outsider at 20-1. The odds of Twitter remaining independent into next year stand at 2.5-1, according to the site.
