Tiger Woods Divorce

Certain that Tiger Woods is about to divorce his estranged wife Elin Nordegren, online bookmaker Sportsbook.com won't be offering odds on the pending (and some say "inevitable") divorce despite the demand to do so.

"We would be placing ourselves in a precarious position," expressed Dave Stanley, spokesperson for Sportsbook.com.

Precarious because it looks as if everyone will be taking the "Yes" on Woods divorcing. 

"She's so far beyond hurt now," a friend told People. "If she were angry or if she hated him, they still might have a chance to work it out. But she's beyond that. She just doesn't care."

Rumors surfaced this week that Nordegren was reportedly talking to divorce lawyers.

As if that were not bad enough, one of Woods alleged mistresses was apparently arrested on Thursday.

According to CBSNews.com, she was taken into custody in West Hollywood around 5pm on Wednesday after it was discovered through a random license plate check that she had three outstanding warrants due to driving with a suspended license.

All is not lost in the Tiger Woods betting stratosphere, however. 

You can bet on the number of Majors Tiger Woods will win in 2010 with ZERO being the favorite at -200 odds, 1 Major coming in at +250, 2 Majors coming in at +500 and 3 Majors coming in at +1500 (would pay out $150 on a $10 bet at Sportsbook.com)
