Bet on the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences at PinnacleSports.com

Online Sportsbook, PinnacleSports.com, Posts First Odds on the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel

The current betting market at PinnacleSports.com is dominated by US economists, reflecting the fact that 60% of the Nobel Economic winners since the prize's inception in 1969 have been Americans

Given that the current economic crisis is seen by many to reflect the abject failure of Global financial markets, and the US sub-prime sector in particular, bettors may be looking away from the traditional base of perceived economic wisdom in US academic institutions for the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Economics.

Willemstad, Curacao (PRWEB) October 8, 2008 -- 2008 will go down in history for the unprecedented turmoil witnessed in the financial markets of the world's largest economies - the Credit Crunch. Given the world's seemingly relentless economic meltdown, all eyes will be on the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, administrators of the world famous Nobel Peace Prize. They will no doubt be deliberating long and hard before announcing, on October 13th, the winner of 2008 Nobel Laureate for conferring the greatest benefit on mankind in the field of Economics. Of interest to a global audience, today PinnacleSports.com became the first established bookmaker to offer odds on the winner of this year's Nobel Economics Prize.
