With so many countries overthrowing their leaders lately, Paddy Power bookmakers have decided to start taking bets on which country will be the next to push their leader out of office. Yemen is currently the favorite but other countries on the list include Jordan, Algeria, Iran, Morocco, and Sudan. Though betting on which dictator will be the next to get the boot may seem a little strange it could be a great way turn a profit while learning more about the political landscape of the world.
Yemen has the best odds for example because earlier this week Anti-regime protestors and supporters clashed in Sanna. Abdullah Saleh, the Yemeni president, is facing stern opposition and though he has promised not to run for re-election in 2013, protesters may make it a point to force him out early.
Jordan which is second on the list has also had a flurry of protests over the economic policies of the nation. An estimated 5,000 people protested in Tunisia last month and one man even set himself on fire to show how passionate the country is about making real changes.
Here is a look at Paddy Power's official odds:
15/8 Yemen
9/4 Jordan
7/2 Algeria
7/2 Morocco
8/1 Bahrain
12/1 Iran
16/1 Libya
16/1 Sudan
16/1 Iraq
20/1 Saudi Arabia
20/1 Syria
