Betcom.com takes bets on a popular reality TV show

Betcom.com a seven-year-old offshore sportsbetting company based in San Jose, Costa Rica has decided to continue take in bets on the popular reality show “The Apprentice” regardless of the possibility for insider information on the final result.

The format of "The Apprentice" is such that all episodes are pre-recorded, with one contestant being "fired" every week until there are just two contestants left in the end. At this point, the finale is aired live with a winner then declared before a large TV audience.

This highly targeted wagering activity has caused quite a swirl within the sportsbook business because neither participator, Jennifer Massey, 30, a lawyer from San Francisco, and Kelly Perdew, 37, a software executive from Carlsbad, CA. is known to have any clear ties to either the Granite state, or the production team, these being the two most plausible scenarios for a "leak."

So Betcom.com has decided to turn the situation into a chance for its clients, whereby they are able to place wagers on which of the two expected "Apprentice II" finalists win the $250,000-a-year job with "The Donald." This is something most industry competitors have strayed away from, by suspending all wagers.

The second season of "The Apprentice" was filmed at the beginning of the summer. This gave to the production crew and 18 candidates, all of whom are required to sign nondisclosure agreements, the time to let "The Apprentice" out of the bag. But according to NBC, The producer Mark Burnett noted that all prior leaks for the show thus far have proven to be false.

We'll all know if it was, come December 16th during the season finale, if Jennifer M. and Kelly are facing off in the boardroom.
