The Bookmakers Lament.
Aye, it's a head scratch-er alright; what is going to happen to the aviation industry under a second go around with 'Not Wurth-King' 'in charge? The 'servants' of the public purse must believe it an almost holiday for two or three more years.
For the Bookie, this presents problems, headaches and uncertainty., the BRB will want to back their particular outcome, there are several 'usual choices' and some new entries to the field. As a Bookie, the first important element is, at which course will be the race be run. The second is the hurdles presented and thirdly, the condition of the 'track'. This before the entries are considered.
But, considered those entries must be, how else can the odds be set and the Bookie keep his shirt?
The race, believe it or not is an important one; much depends on the outcome; a great much. The future well being of an industry, one in which much personal capital has been invested. From the humble 'wannabe' to the proud international carriers. There is a large (seriously large) chunk of public money invested in the 'well-being' of this industry; the modest 'tax-payer' has a serious stake in this great game, as does the smallest, the insignificant and the private investor. All have 'skin' in the game.
The 'opposition' have little to loose; they are betting with 'tax payer' money and the odds are definitely in their favour; almost an event of little to no consequence; they bet each way and cannot loose a penny of their own money or even a 'pound of flesh' (metaphorically). Industry can; every time it has its 'weights put up' by the judges.
We need to 'set' the field for the three year marathon; examine the hurdles, the water jumps and the up-hill sections; not to mention the 'going' and the 'political weather' before setting odds. We may, of course, examine some of the starters and their connections. When the dust settles and the starters begin to appear; i will set the field, the runners and provide opening odds, and track side information.
BRB tonight - serious stuff; no darts - wish me luck arbitrating the very angry mob. Perhaps Ale will soothe the outrage; odds on - Not Really.
"Rien ne va plus" - No more bets taken;
Toot - toot.
