Pruelpo Shares: Betting Company Refunds on Santorum $6,422
by Could it be possible that Politics is a form of gambling? The Irish betting company Paddy Power yesterday refunded just over €5,000 ($6,422) to customers who placed a bet on Rick Santorum to win the Iowa caucus, after the former Pennsylvania Senator lost to Mitt Romney by eight votes.

It is a proven fact that most countries today uses politics a form of gambling. I remember what one of my instructor said: “politics is one of the dirtiest jobs”….In my opinion, we can already sense and observe it in our country…thank you for sharing…
