Paris Hilton prop bets could mean big bucks
June 28, 2007
Kicking off her post-prison publicity tour this week, Paris Hilton claimed she is a deeply changed person, and vowed to use her celebrity status to initiate positive changes in society.
But if she slips up ? if she isn?t truly reformed and rehabilitated ? then that could mean big bucks for bettors.
betED.com is taking wagers on whether Paris will stay on the straight-and-narrow, or revert to her rowdy party days after her three-week stay at a Los Angeles County Jail.
At betED Props, you can place a bet on which of the following will happen to Paris before Dec. 31, 2007: She will be charged with drunk driving again (+150); She?ll be caught with a controlled substance (+300); She?ll marry a Costa Rican (+20000).
Hilton was released from jail early this week after serving half of a 45-day sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. The term was cut due to good behavior.
In her first interview following her release, she told People magazine she spent time in jail reading the Bible and praying for strength.
"There was a nun who works at the jail for all the ladies, and she would come every day and we would pray," she said. "There were girls next to me. ... We could talk through the vents and they were just really sweet."
Appearing later on CNN's "Larry King Live" show, the 26-year-old socialite said she felt bad that many of her former fellow inmates would end up back on the streets, and back in trouble, because they lack family or support systems.
"I want to help set up a place where these women can get themselves back on their feet ... kind of a transitional home," she said. "I know I can make a difference."
"I've definitely matured and grown a lot from this experience," she told King. "I could be a more responsible role model."
