Given the amount of speculation doing the rounds, it was always going to be only a matter of time before the bookies offered odds on who Liverpool's owners will be in the future.
Paddy Power is the first to spot the gap in the market with a series of special bets now available for anyone who fancies a punt on whether Tom Hicks and George Gillett will still be in charge or DIC will see them off.
The odds on Hicks leaving Liverpool are:
2/1 - Before the end of the season
9/4 - During the summer
9/2 - During the start of next season and the end of 2008
5/1 - Between the start of 2009 and the end of the 2008/09 season
Liverpool are also 13/2 to win the Premiership in 2009 under DIC and it is 6/1 for them to break the world transfer record under DIC in 2008/09.
Paddy Power spokesman Darren Haines said: "We have had a lot of interest from our customers in the onwership situation at Liverpool so in response to this demand we have decided to open a book.
"Our hunch is that Hicks will eventually quit Liverpool and the only question is when, so the book reflects that."
No doubt, Paddy Power will be refusing any large wagers from backers in Texas and Dubai.
