Illicit betting in Israel on the next attacks [ 13/06/2002 12:20 ]
JERUSALEM (AP) -- the Israeli police actively seeks a circle of players who bet
clandestinely on the place of the next attack-suicide.The daily newspaper
"Maariv" and the radio Israeli specified Thursday that this circle located
at Kiryat Malachi distributed sheets of bets with the odds of various possible
places. To bet on Eilat, seaside resort on
the Red Sea which did not know any violence since the second intifada,
represents a hazardous blow with 1 against 17,
whereas Jerusalem, regularly taken for target, is to 1 against 1,5 according to
a sheet of bets. The setting starts to 10
shekels (approximately two euros), specifies this sheet.
The bets take only into account the Arab attacks "against Jews and not the
opposite". The police opened an investigation,
confirmed the police spokesman David Saadon. The money games are prohibited in
Israel but the games of chance are
very popular and there are many clandestine circles. Before the resumption of
violences in September 2000, the Israelis
were massively going to the Oasis casino, located at J�richo, in the West
Bank/Cisjordanie.
 The establishment has closed since. AP
