This is the first public response to the US President's legislation to ban all online betting and wagering.

The first bet by the Facebook members: "Will Paris Hilton be mistreated in jail again?", shall launch the new online betting possibilities for the American public via Facebook. For the first time, a betting application will be integrated into a major American social network.

In the coming month, after millions of American Facebook members determine the bet's outcome, it will be published worldwide.

Other questions which the American public will bet on via Facebook are:

"Will the US Assassinate Iranian leader Ahmadinejad by the end of the summer?"

"Are the Red Sox going to the World Series?"

"Should the legal drinking age in America be reduced to 18?"

Facebook is the 17th most visited website, and has over 25 million American members.

Facebook is the most popular photo portal in the U.S, more than other public sites such as Flickr or MySpace, and its community consists mainly of American college students, although anyone with an E-mail address can register to Facebook and wager online.

* Naturally the wagers do not involve real money or winnings, other than the social pride of winning a bet, settling a score publicly, and winning prizes from sponsors, and the betting is therefore 100% legal.
