Next Celebrity Break-Up/Divorce Betting

Without running the risk of sounding sexist and invoking the fury of women's lib members everywhere, it's fair to say that women by and large are more attracted to the internet's novelty betting markets than men. Which is fine by us, as we acknowledge men spend far more time perusing the sports betting sections of online bookies than their female counterparts. Falling within the remit of novelty betting markets are the celebrity betting areas, which came into their own relatively recently. Women tend on average to follow the trials and tribulations of the celebrity circuit more than men – be it by reading copies of Heat, OK and Hello magazines and all their spin-offs – so are therefore well-versed and indeed, well-placed to make the obvious transition into the virtual betting side of things. It didn't take the internet bookies long to realise that they were missing a trick by not providing the appropriate platform for those who celeb watch on a regular basis and figure they might as well place some money predicting their career and personal fortunes at the same time.

For those new to the whole entertainment or novelty betting scheme of things then the onset of free betting has sought to deliver a viable betting option that is simplicity itself to the newbie punter interested in signing-up to the raft of internet bookmakers who also follow celebrity-endorsed shenanigans. Just by investing a few quid when you register and create your new online betting account with the virtual bookie of your choice results in the rookie next celebrity break-up/divorce betting bettor grabbing some Free Bets tokens to use on their initial wagers. Which if nothing else will ease the newcomer in to the realms of entertainment or events betting in an interactive capacity and environment.

Next Celebrity Break-Up/Divorce Betting Markets Ideal Use Of Free Bet Money

One such growing area is that of next celebrity break-up/divorce betting. Admittedly not the cheeriest subject matter, but one which will run and run as - like the rest of us normal people (not that we're necessarily inferring that celebs aren't right in the head) - those seemingly bullet-proof, glamorous celebrity couples out there aren't protected any better from those inevitable arguments that ruin a perfectly good relationship if left to fester. Like those classic 'who left the toilet seat up?', 'Why we took this particular road instead of that one?' and 'Just who was that man/woman who phoned and hung up when they heard your voice?' scenarios. In all honesty they're even more susceptible to instant inter-relationship hostilities than the less celebrated, due to the fact that for the most part their lives are lead under the constant glare of the spotlight, with every move observed by the less than discerning media scrum that attempt to capture every minute moment of their here and now.

Which is why placing a wager on which otherwise happy couple will provide the next online celebrity break-up/divorce betting action is on the rise, as entertainment betting fans look outside of the box for their continual virtual punting kicks. Seriously. We hate taking a negative stance on all things betting, yet the proof is all around us that increasing numbers of the internet entertainment betting community are puzzling and deliberating over just which publicly 'together and couldn't be happier-looking' couple are fighting like cat and dog behind closed doors and negotiating the pros and cons of costly divorces as we write. Come on now folks, it happens to the best of them you know.

Posh 'N' Becks Survived Potential Next Celebrity Break-UP/Divorce Betting Scare

Take Posh 'n' Becks for a prime example. OK, admittedly they seem to have patched up their differences these days but it wasn't that long ago that in light of David's alleged indiscretions with the couples' former Spanish nanny (whilst Beckham was signed to Real Madrid), that both he and Victoria were heading for the divorce courts according to many sources. Yet obviously the former Spice Girl quickly came to the conclusion that her mediocre talent alone wasn't going to provide enough income to keep her in the life to which she had become accustomed, and the dawn of realisation that she best knuckle down and let the sensational stories blow over. And perhaps smile once in a while. Yet for a while back there the media had us believe that it could have gone either way, with wildly speculative accusations of a loveless marriage and a marriage of convenience being bandied around, all for the sake of Brand Beckham.

Before David Beckham and Victoria were the talk of whichever town they rocked up in, the Douglas clan were the 'it' couple as it were. That'll be the ageing lothario and Hollywood legend that doesn't assume the name, George Hamilton and his good (but much younger) lady wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones. Yup, Michael Douglas (son and heir to the Kirk Douglas chin dimple) was one of the first celeb mis-matches that set idle tongues wagging. And filled the first few pages of the celebrity-watching magazines, a sub-industry that seemed to spring up around TV personalities, actors and actresses, pop stars and two-bit Hollywood film stars allegedly 'getting it on' with other like-minded folk desperate for a career knees-up or just some good, old-fashioned attention seeking to massage their flagging ego. Many eyebrows were raised at the time when a virtually unheard of Zeta-Jones signed her pre-nuptials with renown Hollywood ladies man and apparent sex addict, Michael Douglas. Who at the time was still box office-friendly. Yet they've survived the test of (relative) time and still going strong. Well, as the famous Lotto slogan says, 'you've got to be in it, to win it', which is exactly why Zeta-Jones hangs on for grim death. Or until Douglas' timely demise anyway.

Brangelina Could Be Next Celebrity Break-Up/Divorce Betting Market Statistic

If you thought Posh 'n' Becks were unassailable as the celebrity couple of our times you'd be in for a bit of a shock if you travelled stateside, as in America the Beckham's LA friends and neighbours – the Cruise-Holmeses – call all the paparazzi shots. Tom of course is the diminutive star of US film industry blockbusters like Risky Business, Top Gun, the Mission: Impossible franchise and War of the Worlds, whilst his pretty, yet under the thumb wifelet Katie Holmes, once starred in soppy teen drama, Dawson's Creek with other soppy teens who didn't amount to much. More than this though, she's the mother of Tom's daughter and another convert to his weird Scientology cult which promotes the worshipping of aliens or something. At times their marriage looks anything but water-tight and is always under much scrutiny, despite Cruise declaring his love for his partner in the most bizarre ways. Like the time he bounced up and down on Oprah Winfrey's chat-show sofa, which was just plain weird. A bit like their joint 'supercouple' name, the galling TomKat.

And what about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Or 'Brangelina' as their sickeningly referred to by the gossip mags just in case readers couldn't remember their full, collective names. Having spawned – or at least, plucked a small army of infants from African obscurity that makes Madonna's efforts to repatriate most of Africa's children in Hollywood appear lacklustre – the oft-nauseating couple are said to be drifting apart, with Brad seemingly disillusioned with the whole relationship and pining like a love sick puppy for previous squeeze, Jennifer Aniston. Hold this baby up to the light and there's holes everywhere we reckon.

Cheryl And Ashley Cole Could Be Next In Celebrity Divorce Betting Sights

Returning closer to home though, and Britain's sweetheart-cum-national treasure-cum-forces-pin-up Cheryl 'Girls Aloud' Tweedy-Cole is forever getting papped minus her wedding ring. More than just inherent Geordie daftness on her part, Cole is if we (sadly) recall married to Chelsea and England defender, Ashley Cole so we can instantly forgive the pop princess the oversight. What Cheryl sadly recalls is one too many of her errant husband's alleged dalliances with other girls when let out on his own, hence the public displays of none affection and tissue opportunities. Whether the X Factor judge ever lets the love rat wriggle his way back into her heart for good remains to be seen, but on the face of how their careers have panned out we believe that he needs her more than t'other way around so he should be making all the running to salvage this union before it's too late.

And what about Wales' other marriage made in celebrity heaven. Talked up as the 'new Posh 'n' Becks', Welsh warbler Charlotte Church and her rugby playing, bad-boy Gavin Henson have apparently had more marital ups and downs than a honeymoon-ing couple, and not a week goes by without one celebrity gossip magazine exclaiming that their union is all but over. And they're usually on to something despite protestations to the contrary and our indignance that such rumours couldn't possibly be founded. we mean, who would have thought that Katie Price and Peter Andre would have called it a day? And no-one but no-one saw Madonna and Guy Ritchie coming (or rather acrimoniously going) did they?
