British bookmaker Ladbrokes on Monday installed Paris as the 1-2 favorite to host its third Olympics after holding the games in 1900 and 1924. London, the 1908 and 1948 host, was at 3-1, with Madrid at 4-1, New York at 14-1 and Moscow, the 1980 host, at 33-1.
You mean people actually bet on which city will get the games? Wouldn't that be like betting on which golf course gets to host the US Open in 2010? Seems odd.
