Mariah Carey Pregnant: Betting Odds On Baby Name Coming Soon
The gambling fever in the US will increase in the coming months if the rumors about Mariah Carey are true. Several reports indicate that pop diva Carey is pregnant with her first child, leading many gamblers to begin saving money for the upcoming round of betting.
Carey and Nick Cannon have attempted to keep the pregnancy under wraps, but word has finally leaked. The rumor mill heated up when Carey bowed out of Tyler Perry’s “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enough.”
Cannon has been coy in dealing with rumors in recent months. He has made comments about the couple’s dog being pregnant, and some believed that was his way of letting the cat out of the bag about Mariah’s pregnancy. Through it all, however, no admissions were made by either star about the pregnancy.
“They’re both very excited and very happy,” said a source close to the couple to RadarOnline.com today, “Mariah and Nick want to keep the pregnancy quiet as long as they can.” The news from Wednesday sent online sports books scurrying for betting props on the pregnancy.
In the past, it has become a popular gambling option for bettors to pick names of celebrity children and dates on which their babies would be born. Once the rumors of Carey are confirmed, it will likely only be days before the sports books have some sort of odds on the pregnancy.
Office pools will also be started by celebrity-crazed fans in the US. The celebrity gambling in the workplace is nothing new, and it reached a fever pitch when Angelina Jolie was pregnant. Jolie and husband Brad Pitt are two of the top celebrities in the world.
