Bookies in Kuala Lampur are refusing to take bets on what hotel room a former Malaysian government minister was supposedly filmed in for a now infamous sex tape. The tape scandal caused the minister to resign, but the bookies aren't refusing for ethical reasons.
"The last time we accepted bets after a particular set of numbers was published on the front page of a Chinese daily, we were badly hit and lost several million ringgit [Malaysian currency]."
That particular bet? The death toll after the bombing of an Egyptian report. We hardly think this compares, but like we said, they're not doing this for ethical reasons.
