A businessman who made a wager with the Vietnam Civil Aviation Administration (VCAA) over the efficiency of the new Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) air route has said that his proposal does not constitute gambling. According to a Thanh Nien Daily report, Tran Dinh Ba challenged the VCAA to a US$5 million bet that a new Hanoi-HCMC air route would be more efficient than the agency’s estimate. Unfortunately he overlooked one thing; Vietnam’s state-run agencies are not permitted to gamble. Ba is now claiming that he doesn’t expect to receive any money if he wins the bet.
“This is a scientific wager, not gambling,” Ba was quoted saying.
