That would make sense of the rumours that "they" are going to appear over Alabama...

That's assuming we count as one ourselves. On the basis of this story William Hill's decision makers don't!

We now have seven-figure liabilities if the ship does appear.

It would be a really shit plug for William Hill if the story was "William Hill continue to take bets". This isn't a news story, it is a shameless PR plug, which some of the media, being lazy shitbags, have just reprinted verbatim.

be that as it may... but this wasn't fabricated by William Hill - someone has predicted an event and I'll bet there are hundreds of thousands of people who either believe that it will happen and probably millions who wish it would - as well as billions who haven't even heard about it.

It appealed to my sense of whimsy and is not meant to be a platform for polemics.

Are you suggesting that their seven-figure liabilities might not be real and that they're making it up to get publicity... surely not!
