Paris wins and so do online gamblers

Okay, we all already know that Paris is out of jail. But what you may not know yet is that she's not the only one cheering about her release. There's an online gambler out there who's now going to collect thousands from her release.

there are even more out there like him! According to an article at "Eye on Gambling",

A couple of prominent sports books, namely oddsmaker @ www.oddsmaker.com and USDBET @ www.usdbet.com had actually offered odds to some of their clients as to whether or not the socialite would be released early.

Those who bet that Paris would be released before she served her full 23 days got a 5:1 return on their investments from both sites. One of the gamblers is laughing all the way to the bank after collecting over $5000 on his bet. I'm not much of a gambler. I don't even patronize casinos unless my daughter drags me there kicking and screaming. But this is one time I wish I had placed a bet. I initially would have bet that somehow Paris would never land in that Jail, and I would have lost. But the odds that she wouldn't serve her sentence were even greater and obviously a safe and profitable bet. Sometimes I wish I didn't play it so safe all the time!
