The online casinos are appealing to the lighter side of the gambling and betting industry with the availability of politics, celebrity and pop star betting. The fun bets are a growing part of the internet betting industry right now and are increasingly lucrative for the internet betting and online casino companies that offer up odds on some of these rather unusual events. In fact, it comes across as a bit of salacious gossip at some times because the gamblers are betting on events such as baby births or even divorces and marriages. One of the newer bets heating up the virtual online casino betting tables are odds on whether Heidi Montag and Spenser Pratt are leaving each other. The bets are based on gossip and through following these celebrities as they interact on Twitter and elsewhere in the social media online sphere. The bets and rumors at the online casino betting sites started with a Twitter message from Montag that she is no longer using Pratt’s last name. The bets started as a part of this tweet and have escalated from that point. Bettors have been able to look at the odds and bet on a split –and now there is vindication for the bettors who placed wagers on a split because reports from MTV have alleged that the breakup is official. If this proves true then some bettors are going to walk away with 12 times the payout.This is a new area for the online casinos and betting companies because the bets are not based on skill like they are with sporting events, but rather on the roumors of the celebrities – it seems as if there is a lot more room for manipulation of the results. Friends of the couple, for example, were in the know and much more likely to place a bet on a split if they were inclined to bet.
