You Can Bet on That: Baby Panda
The online casinos betting sites have a new subject of interest for bettors, and
this one is a lot different than the pop star betting wave that has taken over
so many of the betting sites in the past several months. Betting at sites like
Paddy Power give internet gamblers so much more than the latest odds on the
sporting events around the world, the oddsmakers at Paddy Power look for some of
the most fun and odd-ball bets possible and offer up odds and information for
interested bettors. This time around Paddy Power online casino bettors are able
to actually bet on the name of the new baby panda that was born in China earlier
this month.
The panda is a highly endangered species and one that does not breed well in
captivity, so the birth of a new baby panda bear is a media frenzy as the
international news stations pick up the story. Right now the baby panda has no
name because of the ancient Chinese tradition that states that the baby bear
cannot be named for 100 days. This lag time between the birth and the naming has
generate a lot of speculation at the online casinos and Paddy Power is one of
the only places in the world that gamblers can take a guess and place their
money on the future name of this new little panda cub. The names range from the
likely, Gao Gao and Tao Tao, to the wildly improbable, “Paddy Power,” a lot of
names in between that are less like than the first two: Xiang Xiang, Mei Shing,
and others.
The baby panda was born in the Ya’an Reserve in the Sichuan Province in China
and represents one of the first captive panda births in a long time. There are
only 210 pandas under human care and only 1,590 in the wild. Because of the
rarity of the new panda cub the online casinos are letting their curiosity and
speculation run wild about the name of this new cub. |
