Sex Scandals Don’t Stop
the Betting

It is unfortunate whenever
a role model falls. Whenever our perception of someone as a celebrity
changes because of something they have or have not done, knocking them
off of whatever pedestal we put them on, it is disappointing for
everyone. We see celebrities and sports figures as role models and
heroes and gave them almost impossible standards to live up to.
Ultimately there is no way that they can live up to our expectations and
thus we end up disappointed time and time again.
This is the case with Tiger Woods. He has lived a fairly private life
and all we really know about him is based on his performance on the golf
course and what we perceive him to be like as a person. So when his
reputation was called into question based on allegations of infidelity
in his marriage many said that there was no way it could be true.
Obviously since that time we have been proved wrong. Many believe that
this would hurt him professionally as well as personally in order to
have his laundry aired in public, and it may have but it hasn't when it
comes to online gambling.
If anything bets are up on the online gambling sites as many place their
bets to determine how the scandal will affect his playing. Some are
betting at the online gambling sites that he will do worse because of
the sex scandal that is following him, and that he will not take the
green jacket at the Masters. Others are betting that as he is under such
close scrutiny right now that his game will be focused and he will
undeniably win the event.
Online gambling sites say that no matter how many women come forward and
said that they had been with him that Tiger has always been known for
his fanatical focus and they place their money on hand to win if he
plays.
