The life, luxury, and mind-set of an "Irish Suicide Banker" and "Suicide Speculator".

Here's the site that has the "Animal Extinction Index" on it. Speculate away, you sick fucks.

Is it poor taste or a harsh statement against the most recent oil spill to devastate the Gulf Coast? Paddy Power, an Irish online gambling
site, is taking bets on which species will become extinct as a result of the British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion.

The site lists a number of animals (Kemp's Ridley turtle, bluefin tuna, brown pelican, etc.) that were already stressed, putting the U.S.
among the top 20 countries with the most endangered species.
The site gives the odds that each animal will meet its demise and
betters can cash in on the aftermath. For instance, Paddy lists the
Ridley turtle as having 4/5 odds of dying because the animal is
"already critically endangered" and, according to Paddy's press
release, "In what must be considered spectacularly bad luck, this
particular species of turtle migrates to the Gulf of Mexico at this
exact time of year."
