Mobile betting to beat recession
Bets placed via mobile phones will double in 2009 to hit $3.6 billion (£2.4 billion), according to Juniper Research. Three-quarters of the money will come from traditional bookmaker-style betting, with with casino-type gambling the second-largest sector. 30% of all bets worldwide will come from the UK, although this will drop to 8% by 2013 as usage in other countries increases.

These are obviously optimistic numbers to keep their stock from crashing. Doh!
Bailout is for you too!
Agree that an increase in betting will happen - it usually does in a recession.
But whether mobile phone companies will benefit, I'm not sure I'll be betfair trading on that!
