To Facebook: What Comes First, The Billion Or The Float?
...and its 500/1 that Paul Ceglia gets 84%
August 3, 2010
KAHNAWAKE, QC // The world's largest betting brand*, Bodog (www.bodog.com), is offering odds on whether Facebook will be able to hit the one billion user mark before Jan. 1, 2012, as well as whether or not they will make an Initial Public Offering (IPO) before reaching that mark.
Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg reckons it's ‘almost guaranteed' to reach the billion user mark, so Bodog.com has set the odds: Will Facebook reach one billion users before Jan. 1, 2012? Yes: Even, No: 8/11. Bodog.com slightly favors the ‘No' side because in our world there's no such thing as ‘almost guaranteed'!
In the same address Mr. Zuckerberg also talked about an IPO for the company, but would not be drawn into releasing dates, stating that it was something that would happen “At some point, sure.”
Bodog.com now poses the question: What comes first, the billion or the float? Billion: 4/6, IPO: 11/10. Come on Mark; put your money where your mouth is!
Bodog.com is also offering odds of 500/1 that Paul Ceglia will gain his claimed 84% stake in Facebook.
