Gaming Sites Place Bets on Chris Brown’s Future
Chris Brown is scheduled to go to court on March 5, and while his fate is unknown it looks like some people are willing to bet on his future, literally.
Following TMZ's release of the LAPD photo of Rihanna's injuries from the alleged altercation between her and Brown, entertainment bets on online gaming sites have increased. And a large amount of betters are convinced that Chris Brown is headed to jail.
An online gambling site shows betters getting $1.23 back for every $1 bet if Brown goes to jail, while those who wager $1 on Brown walking free will get $2.35 back. And the lines are -850 for the singer serving time, against +130 that he will escape incarceration. The site says the odds weren't as high before the photo hit the 'net but increased after it leaked.
Since the incident, Brown released a public apology and has reportedly started attending anger management classes, while Rihanna released her own statement thanking fans for their support.
