Gamblers Interested in Lindsay
Lindsay Lohan, a US celebrity who has made media headlines over the past several
weeks for her alcoholism, is making headlines within the online casino betting
industry this week as speculation ramps up about how long she will actually
spend in jail. Lohan was sentenced by the courts to 90 days in jail, but the
actress will likely spend as little as a quarter of that actual sentence
according to analysts and the jail wardens. Bets were rampant over the past
several months as bettors placed wagers on whether Lohan would even face jail
time for her very obvious defiance of the judges orders for Lohan to remain
sober. The online casino betting sites placed high odds on Lohan receiving jail
time for violating the terms of her probation, and now that those bets have paid
out the focus has switched onto if she will even make it into jail.
Current bettors at the online casino sites are actually a bit miffed – there is
really no telling how long Lohan will serve because the Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Office has a long history of treating celebrities with a high level of
favor. In fact, over the past few years celebrities have made headlines because
of their shockingly short sentences. Nicole Ritchie was sentenced to four days
in jail but served 82 minutes. Paris Hilton made international headlines because
of serving a day of her 45-day sentence. So although Lohan has a 90 sentence
ahead of her, the online casino odds makers are showing favor for some very
short sentences.
Impacting the bets are the fact that a Sheriff’s spokesperson even came out to
note that celebrities often just serve a quarter of their sentence. That is even
quite a bit more than most bettors believe will actually happen and the majority
of the bets at the online casino betting sites are placed on less than a week in
jail for Lohan. |
