Paddy Power predicts oil to break $200

Continued unrest in the Middle East is threatening to send fuel prices rocketing even further fuelling fears that the cost of a barrel of oil could break the $200 mark.

Paddy Power today slashed their odds on a barrel of oil soaring to $200 to just 3/1 as worried punters piled on.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “Three years ago we saw the same gamble when there were fears oil would break $200. It never did reach $200 in 2008; instead it peaked just below $150. But this time around the odds on such an occurrence are half what they were!”

Whether or not the price of oil breaks $200 will most likely depend on how things pan out politically with the world’s largest oil producer Saudi Arabia.
