Online Casino Sites Deal With UK's iPhone Launch

11 Dec 2007

It seems these days as everyone in the planet wants an iPhone of their own. For those of you who somehow haven’t heard about Apple’s latest “toy”, here’s a bit of information: The iPhone is an Internet-enabled mobile phone, which some even consider the successor of the ultra popular iPod. It has been available since last June in the United States, selling more than 270,000 pieces in the first 30 hours on launch weekend. Until last week, UK citizens who wanted to enjoy this little gadget had to buy the US version, but that all changed when the local version was released last Friday. While there’s no doubt that the phone will sell well in the UK too, analysts predict that the enthusiasm will be much smaller, both because of the existing alternatives and the possible price reduction that will surely follow. As always, online casino sites have joined the party too, offering some really interesting bets

Everyone in the industry knows that the launch price of the UK version of the iPhone, which stands at £269, is only temporary. The big question is, when will the price be reduced ? One online casino site, for example, is offering bets on exactly that issue. According to the site, the odds for a price reduction somewhere between November 2007 and January 2008 are 5-2, while those between February 2008 and April 2008 stand at 10-3

Those gamblers who believe that Apple will be able to keep the original price until August next will be receiving 3 dollars for every 1 invested at the online casino, while those who think that the price will be kept for over a year, will receive 9-4 odds
