Swine flu betting - which country will be hit first?

Ireland’s largest bookie Paddy Power has reported “significant interest” in their betting on which European country will have the first confirmed case of Swine Flu. The suspected flu pandemic already has two people in isolation in a Scottish hospital with suspected cases and authorities across the Euro Zone are in a state of high alert. 

Unsurprisingly Paddy Power make Scotland their red-hot 1/3 favourites to have the first confirmed case with Spain 2/1 second favourite, England 8/1 and Ireland a 10/1 shot.  The recession-bruised inhabitants of Iceland finally get some news as they are considered the bookies 25/1 rank outsiders to have the first confirmed case.

Paddy Power said “There is obviously huge public interest in this unfolding situation and we’ve received numerous requests over the past 72-hours from punters for odds on what will happen next”
