Insider Bet Suspicion Prompts Nick & Jess Divorce Bet Halt

Nine.com spokesman Jack Abrams has issued a statement in regards to the online betting site’s cancellation of bets on Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson’s marriage fate after too many bets came from the couple’s hometowns. “We have an extremely strong suspicion that those betting know the couple or are in close enough association to either Simpson or Lachey that they have insider information,” Abrams said, according to The New York Daily News. “A near unanimous amount of these bets were placed on the couple not being together.”
