Hi, A prominent British bookie, er, I mean, betting parlor -- Ladbrokes has since 1967 had an open book taking bets on the existence of Life On Mars. They took their first bet on life on Mars in the early 1970's, at odds of 1000 to 1 (against). It was for ten

RE: [meteorite-list] The Odds Of Life On Mars

if the odds were still at 1000:1 against, I'd put down 1000 quid on the off chance that there was life on mars I know that doesnt directly answer your question, but if there are any bookies... errr... bet takers out there, contact me off list.. :) From: Sterling K. Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know about that one, if we can't even all agree whether phages right under our nose and in it are "life", the Mars bet sounds somewhat underdefined to be betting on! On Earth we recognize life when we see it, usually. But unless Mars seeded Earth I'm not confident we'd recognize it.
