Greece: Bookies offer various odds on referendum

GREECE -- Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras played his surprise card, last Friday, by announcing he would take the decision on the conditions of a renegotiated bailout deal, with Greece's creditors, to a referendum.

The referendum is scheduled to be held next Sunday July 5, 2015.

Meanwhile banks were closed today and Capital Controls have been put in place on the country.

Bookies have stepped up and are offering a variety of odds on the outcome of this economic crisis, which threatens the Eurozone and has gripped the media for the past two weeks.

Paddy Power are offering odds on the outcome of the referendum, the turnout percentage for the referendum, when will the Greek banks reopen and bets on whether the Prime Minister or Finance Minister still be in their jobs by certain dates.

Under the terms of Greek's proposal to its creditors, a gambling tax on VLTs was one of its proposed fiscal measures.
