Holidays Always A Hot Time For Celebrity Romance Gambling

Reese Witherspoon Engaged To Hollywood Agent Jim Toth

Celebrities are no different than ordinary people when it comes to the holidays, which is why the holidays can be such an important time for gamblers who like to make bets on celebrity romances. The holidays are always sure to produce at least a couple of surprising engagements and break-ups.

This year was no different. The Christmas week is not yet over, and already there have been some shocking, and some not so shocking, revelations. The most shocking comes from the music world, where gamblers may have lost a pretty penny with a separation announcements.

Most online sports books offer odds on the A-list celebrities love lives, but rarely on an old celebrity. Friendly bets are always running, and whoever had  a split between John Cougar Mellencamp, and his wife Elaine, can now collect.

The couple announced through their publicist that they would be splitting up after twenty years of marriage. In the statement, they acknowledged their life together and claimed there is no hard feelings.

On the other end of the spectrum, Hollywood engagements have been hot and heavy this holiday season. Hugh Hefner is always willing to settle down with a nice mid-twenties lady, so it should come as no surprise that Hefner is engaged to Crystal Harris.

If that did not shake up the betting world, perhaps the engagement of Reese Witherspoon did the trick. Witherspoon became engaged to Jim Toth. Gamblers who were hoping for the long shot of a Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe reunion can forget it. Phillippe claims he is happy for his ex-wife.
