Uh-oh. Does someone know something The Donald doesn’t?
An offshore bookie has suspended betting on the winner of the second season of NBC’s “The Apprentice,” citing an “unusual betting pattern on two contestants” from accounts originating in New Hampshire.
“We don’t know if this is some kind of link to the contestants or some way involved with the production,” betwwts.com wagering director Stuart Doyle told The Associated Press. “When this has happened before, it’s because someone has known the outcome.”
SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading now if you don’t want to know who’s involved.
Red flags were raised at betwwts.com when a maximum bet of $300 was placed on two candidates: lawyer Jennifer Massey from San Francisco and software executive Kelly Perdew from Carlsbad, Calif. The next day, Doyle witnessed a number of New Hampshire accounts that bet the limit on the two contestants.
“We’re not going to speculate on the outcome at all,” an NBC spokesman said. “The finale is live, and there won’t be a winner until the finale.”
