News: Jacko Guilty Bets Public
February 11, 2005
PRESS RELEASE
SOURCE: AnyBets.com
London, UK -– Michael Jackson is expected to
be found guilty on four counts of lewd acts involving
a minor, and four counts of administering an intoxicating
agent, in his current trial against the State of
California, according to public opinion on celebrity
event betting site, www.AnyBets.com.
The international pool betting site has online pools
covering the entire trial process from jury selection
to conviction. The public have shown they are willing
to put money where their mouth is and placed bets
in all nine pools related to the Hollywood trial.
59% of the betting public believe that Michael Jackson
will be found guilty of at least one of the charges
brought against him - 32% have bet that he will
be found guilty on all 10 charges, and 27% say at
least one charge but not all charges. Wacko Jacko
supporters stand to win £4.81 per £1
bet placed if he is found innocent. If there is
a mistrial, the odds are a staggering £22.90
for every £1 bet
Regarding the length of the trial, 52% believe it
will take 16 to 20 days alone just to select the
jury. The public also believes that it will take
longer for the defence to present its case compared
to the prosecution. 42% of bettors have said it
will take the defence more than 14 days to present
evidence and 56% bet it will take the prosecution
12 to 14 days to present theirs.
A spokesperson for www.AnyBets.com said, “The
Michael Jackson pools have been extremely popular
as the betting public enjoy getting involved in
current and controversial issues by placing a wager
in support of their opinion.
Our website appeals to a wide range of consumers
and what is bet is often a reflection of their viewpoint.
At the moment, the odds show a majority opinion
that Michael Jackson is guilty.”
