Centrebet. Centrebet has opened bidding on the projected jobless rate in Australia. Just so we can have a little fun with the unfortunate, a group I strongly suspect I will be joining out very, very, soon. Hey, let's face it, if the jobless rate continues to rise as it is, gambling may be the only icome I have.
I'm pretty sure that this is the most Australian thing anyone has done all year. Seriously, I am nominating whoever the fuck runs this joint for Australian of the year. What a country we live in. That we can turn the economic recession into a competition is truly astonishing. I'm thinking of making team jerseys and selling them on ebay (necessity is the mother of all invention, afterall).
So choose a team: in the red corner we have the optimistic, the unaffected, the blind, go team reeeeeeeeeecoooooooooooooooooveerrrryyy! And in the blue corner with have the unemployed, the students, those permanently locked out of the property market, team impeeeeeeeeennding deeeeeeeepprrreeeeeeeeeeessssssssion! Who's it going to be, friends? Recovery's got the financial backing, but lacks the bite, impending depression's got a mean right hook, but moves damn slow through that melancholic fog.
Go on, bet on the quality of other people's lives. I've got no moral hang ups about profiting from the misfortune of others. Fuck it, I'm taking bets on Darfur: I'll take odds on instances of rape, torture, displacement, or murder. Any takers? Come on, it's the Australian thing to do.
Sincerely,
