Paris Hilton in Trouble - Will Paris Go to Jail? - Bodog has the Odds

Paris Hilton has been called many things. From “New York’s leading It girl,” to “a paparazzi magnet, amateur-porn icon, pop singer and self-proclaimed all-around ‘sexy blonde bitch,’” the 26-year-old heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune really knows how to make headlines.

She first gained national attention when her reality series with pal Nicole Richie, The Simple Life, hit the airwaves. In it, the spoiled socialites lived with a family on their rural farm in Arkansas and learned the finer points of country living.

She has also spent time as a model and endorser for brands like Christian Dior, Tommy Hilfiger, and GUESS. Her porn movie, 1 Night in Paris, was a huge hit after being released by an unethical boyfriend, and she has had more mainstream roles in films such as House of Wax, Zoolander, and Wonderland. She has also guest-starred on television shows, music videos, and even released her own musical album entitled Paris.

But, as always, there’s also a darker side to the story. On September 7th, 2006, Hilton was arrested for driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 (the legal limit in California). She was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI and released.

Then on January 22nd, 2007, she was nabbed by cops again while speeding towards an In-N-Out Burger restaurant. She pled no contest to charges of alcohol-related reckless driving, was placed on 36 months of probation and ordered to pay fines amounting to around $1,500.

On March 29th, 2007, the world was hardly stunned when the LA City Attorney’s Office announced that Ms. Hilton had violated the terms of her DUI probation. This stemmed from an incident on February 27th, where she was pulled over while driving with a suspended license. They went on to mention in their statement that they want the blonde socialite to serve at least 90 days in jail. Needless to say, the expensive Hilton lawyers have been working overtime to keep her out of this predicament.

Which, of course, begs the question, will Paris Hilton be sentenced to jail time in 2007? And while some might be satisfied to just ponder this in private, Bodog has made certain that the rest of us can actually wager money on the outcome.

For the bet to be valid, Paris Hilton must spend a minimum of 24 hours in a jail or prison. The maximum bet is $50. Here are the current odds:


Yes +500


No -800


So step right up and make your prediction on young Paris. One thing’s for sure, Bodog could literally devote a whole page to proposition bets about this headline grabbing beauty. As Don King would say, “Only in America!”
