Current spread of bets on the Demise of the Euro Current spread of bets on the Demise of Sterling First the 'Growth and Stability Pact' has been watered down at the first sign of trouble. Now Greece is being bailed out despite the 'no bail out' clause in the Maastricht treaty. With high debt in Portugal and other med countries the Euro sacrificed economic reality for politcal haste.

No need to bring down the Lottery regulator onto me. A single day can only be claimed by one person. There is no detection for multiple entries but please be honest and bet only once on each question above. Judging question 1: I deem the euro to have collapsed when there is no longer a single interest rate across the Euro zone. Some members may quit the euro-zone before it collapses, and I would consider the departure of France, Italy or Germany as the point at which the euro is no longer pan-European. The second bet should be easy to resolve; It's when the UK government decides the time table for switching over. All bets will be closed after this announcement. As I record the date bets are made I can filter out late bets. The resolution of question 1 voids question 2, but not vice versa. May the best prophet win!
