An activity that has become quite popular among online casinos fans is props betting. These days, it seems that online casinos fans have more fun betting on props - odds placed on entertainment, politics, and any other subject of interest - than they do playing casino classics. Choosing which movie will bring in the most money its first week in the theaters, or who will become the next president of the US are just a few of the types of bets placed by online gambling fans.

The latest props bet have to do with the UN. Online casinos players have begun placing their bets on who they believe will be the next UN Secretary General. Current Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade for South Korea Ban Ki-moon has emerged as the overwhelming favorite to succeed Kofi Annan as UN Secretary General at 10/11 odds. Straw polls taken in July and September favored Ki-moon for the position. It now appears that online casinos bettors believe the results of those polls will come to fruition when the eighth chief administrative officer of the UN is unveiled.

'After first opening wagering on who will be the next UN Secretary General, we were inundated with bets placed on just two of the five official nominees that we listed individual odds for, all within a matter of seconds. Whenever we see a betting pattern of this kind, it's usually an excellent indicator of who the market believes are the clear favorites to win an election. While Ki-moon was an early frontrunner to succeed Annan, it was somewhat surprising to see bettors back Tharoor with such frequency and regularity,' said Simon Noble of the online casinos sports book. Whatever the results, one thing is for certain - online casinos bettors are having fun with their political predictions!
