While oddsmakers will be reluctant to take actual bets on the identity of a Hollywood actor reported to have the HIV virus, some have quietly offered their own opinions to Gambling911 as to whom it might be.
It is news that has many females in Hollywood shaking in their shoes.
Radar Online and The Sun have both reported that an unidentified middle aged actor has been living with HIV for years but countless numbers of women may contracted the disease courtesy of this philandering star.
Other clues offered include that the individual has admitted to injection of hard drugs and has tattoos. The Hollywood celebrity has dated an award-winning actress and another actress who is “very religious”.
“Everyone is saying Charlie Sheen but the one club offered by the two publications doesn’t exactly apply to Sheen,” an oddsmaker who wished not to be identified tells Gambling911. “The individual wants to be ‘taken seriously as an actor’ and that’s just not Charlie.
“He’d definitely be right up there among the favorites though,” the oddsmaker added.
Another clue offered is that this actor has a “controversial past”.
“If we were going to offer betting, Robert Downey Jr. would be right up there and probably a bigger favorite over Charlie Sheen.”
Until the individual is actually revealed, the rumors will spread like wildfire.
The London Mirror has a headline that reads: “The Hollywood actor with HIV deserves everything he gets – and worse”
That’s because many do not see this as a victimless crime, assuming it is true this individual has slept around with dozens of females engaging in unprotected sex.
“The later we just don’t know,” says the oddsmaker. “One would think that anyone who slept with Charlie Sheen would have used protection since it was common knowledge he had been involved with a porn star.”
The Mirror even featured a poll “Do You Feel Sorry for the Famous Actor With HIV?” Nearly 80% of respondents said “No”.
“While having HIV is no longer viewed as a death sentence, provided someone knows they have it and seek ongoing treatment, you won’t find many bookmakers offering odds on this sort of thing since it borders on tasteless,” the oddsmaker tells Gambling911.com.
