People can come up with the most shocking ideas sometimes, that can not only entertain, but amaze us as well. Celebrity death pool betting is one of them and, over the past years, it has spread like wildfire.
But its popularity makes it difficult to know where should one draw the line.
In brief, celebrity death pool betting is exactly what you imagine it to be: wagering money on which celebrity will be next to bite the dust. It’s fair to say that, on a first impulse, people are either disgusted by the idea, or they find it somewhat funny. It depends on which perspective you choose to adopt.
Here, things are similar to any other type of gambling: you still have to investigate and gather some information, pick a person to bet on and calculate your odds based on various probabilities. Aside from its bizarre theme, celebrity death pool betting requires peculiar research studies.
It’s not only that you have to be constantly updated with all that’s going on in the celebs’ world, but tabloids and gossip readings must be top-priority. Most importantly, you ought to pay attention to:
Of course, loving anything that has to do with show business will come in handy if celebrity death pool betting is your thing.
In spite of the controversy surrounding this subject, don’t jump to conclusions just yet. You should test the waters first to see if this type of gambling suits you or not. Same as with everything, there are pros and cons to keep in view.
Various websites have started promoting celebrity death pool betting as being a mere source of entertainment and amusement. And they advise people to try out their luck because:
It’s difficult to say how much is too much, but when an activity that’s supposed to be entertaining relies on morbid jokes and macabre bets, it all goes downhill, doesn’t it? You should call it quits because:
It is true that weird and odd ideas do sell like hot cakes, but everything has to have a limit. Waiting for people to die shouldn’t be regarded as a funny activity, despite the value of your winnings.
Death pools have been around for years. Back in the 80s, the personnel of a Scottish company based in the US has been placing bets on the death of the one called Ayatollah Khomeni. Usually to enter such a “ghoul pool” costs at least $15 per person (depending on the website), and the earnings go up to around $2,000 for the first place (between $200-500 for the second and the third).
What do you reckon? Is celebrity death pool betting your cup of tea? Let us know. We are keen to hear your opinion.

Celebrity death pools are where fantasy sports leagues meet pop culture. The concept is simple.
You pick a slate of celebrities, usually ten; that you think will die within the calendar year.
If one of your picks kicks off then you score points. At the end of the year, the player with
the highest number of points wins the purse.
Gambling is big business. In 2014, US gambling revenues were nearly $69 billion. And that’s just the legal stuff that is tracked by the industry. Even if you’re not taking trips to Vegas or buying weekly lottery tickets, you’re probably toying with the small stuff — fantasy leagues, NCAA brackets, Super Bowl squares. Yep, we love to gamble and we’ll find all sorts of inventive ways to do it. But there’s one type of betting game you may not be familiar with even though lots of people are playing—celebrity death pools.
Celebrity death pools are where fantasy sports leagues meet pop culture. The concept is simple. At the beginning of the year, you pick a slate of celebrities, usually ten; that you think will die within that calendar year. When one of your picks kicks off, you score points. The rules of the game vary somewhat depending on the pool. Some award points based on the number of people choosing the celebrity, others scale the points based on the age of the celebrity. Most allow teams to play as well as individuals. At the end of the year, the player (or team) with the highest number of points wins the purse.
Ghoulish? Maybe a little, but those who run and play the pools stress that it’s just for fun. As Kelly Bakst, who runs the Lee Atwater Invitational Dead Pool at stiffs.com puts it, “What we are fond of saying is that you’re not betting on whether or not people will die. Everyone is going to die. It’s just a matter of when.”
For those who play, much of the fun is the thrill of the hunt–doing the down and dirty research. The pool runner of cash4cadavers.com, who is also a long-time player, told us that for her “it keeps you more attuned to the news. You want to make sure that your celebrities are alive or dead. Personally, I always like the challenge of finding a person who will be famous when they die. Famous enough that people will notice, but not so famous that you expect them to be on the list.”

Still, the pools are not for everyone. For some, they are just too morbid and even the people who run them can face criticism for perpetuating such a grim sort of fun. “Most people are appalled at the idea,” the runner of thedeadpool.com , told us. “Family members have asked me not to run it and my good friend who loves gambling on everything joined in [one] year. The day he scored his first, was the day he called me and said he was out. He couldn’t handle being happy when he heard the news and then realized what he had cheered for.”
And then there is the story of the player who picked a famous politician. All was well until this seasoned pooler found herself sitting across the table from the luminary at a lunch. Once she put the face to the name she cracked and immediately pulled him from her lists. The long and short of it is, for most of the people who play, and maybe for the people who run the pools, the bets are more on a name from a tabloid, not a real living breathing human being.
One popular misconception about the pools is that they make lots of money for the people who run them. Quite the contrary. Managing a pool is really a labor of love. The people who run them keep their day jobs and handle the pools as a side project. The proceeds generally don’t go into the pocket of the person running the game. Instead, the money collected is used for the prizes or improving the infrastructure of the pool.
The inner workings of celebrity death pools can be fairly complex and most require some kind of technical expertise. And when the celebrity death scene is as active as it has been this year, keeping things up-to-date is no easy task. A key challenge is determining just what classifies someone as a celebrity. Each pool has its own method of deciding. Some require that the person’s obituary be carried in an “approved publication.” Others have a panel of judges that decide. Whatever method is used, there are appeals to review and arguments to settle over whether or not a person is well known enough to be considered a celebrity. The decision can make or break it for a player since being the only person to pick a certain celebrity can score big points.

Games based on celebrity deaths have been around for a remarkably long time. In the 1400’s speculation on the death of the Pope got so out of hand that it was banned. An 1885 work by Guy de Maupassant, Bel-Ami , refers to an actual game based on guessing when various politicians would die. These days, it’s not at all uncommon for celebrity death pools get shout outs in TV shows and films.
In the 1998 Clint Eastwood movie, “The Dead Pool”, Dirty Harry must work against the clock to stop a pool where celebrities become murder targets. FOX TV’s current hit “Second Chance,” and HBO’s “Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll” have both made reference to the games and while it’s got no release date yet, “Killing Hasselhoff,” a movie based on a death pool, wrapped production some time ago.
You would think that the pools would generate interest from the celebrities themselves since they are the unfortunate subjects of the speculation. But there doesn’t seem to be much interest from the people who are being bet on. None of the pool runners we spoke with had received any pushback from the stars. In fact, comedian Doug Stanhope, a bit of a celebrity himself, is behind the popular, Doug Stanhope’s Celebrity Death Pool . Even the runner of the Stanhope pool, whose email handle is Reaper, is a bit surprised by the lack of interest from celebrities. “No, we don’t get much pushback at all. I kind of wish we would since that would mean more attention.” Of course, it could be that many of the top celebrity picks just don’t know about the pools. Many are well into their later years and have been out of the public eye for quite some time. Perennial picks like Zsa Zsa Gabor and Kirk Douglas likely just don’t pay attention.
Considering how fascinated we are with the whole notion of celebrity, it’s not surprising that tracking the deaths of the rich and famous has become a cottage industry. We follow the lives of the people who walk the red carpet, make news, and grace the covers of dozens of popular magazines. So why not track their deaths as well. Whether or not it’s the “right” thing to do is up to personal preference. For some, it’s just a fun way to keep things interesting. To others, it’s in bad taste. Regardless of where you stand on the propriety of the games, their popularity has stood the test of time. So if you’d like to throw your hat in the ring and maybe win a couple of dollars, now’s a good time to start your research. When January 1st rolls around it’ll be time to place your bets on which stars we will lose in 2017.
Kelly Bakst and his Stiffs.com dead pool are frauds. There aren’t any cash prizes anymore, but NOWHERE on this website does he list who the winners are. Sure, there’s a leader board with who got the most points, but I suspect nobody really gets anything. I was in 7th place for the big game in 2015, which would have awarded me a mug and a tee-shirt. {7. Armageddon – 93 and above nightjy 5 31} I have asked repeatedly about receiving the prizes but he has simply ignored me. He will gladly take your money but he seems reluctant to pay out prizes. I’ve seen several posts in the forums complaining about not being paid prizes. I would say something there but I can’t log in. I think I’ve been banned because he doesn’t want me posting negative things about the little scam he’s got going. I would love to see Stiffs.com shut down for good.

As we mourn the death of legendary actor James Caan, we look back on some of his best work. He is perhaps most well known for the early role that made his career – playing Sonny Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather (1972), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor.
Another well received performance was his role in the 1974 classic The Gambler , the story of a professor who spirals deeper and deeper into the world of gambling. This film, directed by Karel Reisz, explores what draws people to gambling, and allowed Caan to display his full range as an actor. According to Caan’s character Axel Freed, the appeal of gambling isn’t the money, but rather the thrill of beating the odds.
Despite playing a gambler in one of the most famous gambling movies in cinema history, Caan himself was not known to have been much of a gambler. However gambling is a very popular pastime among the rich and famous.
Let’s take a look at some celebrities who fancy a visit to the casino.
Ben Affleck is one of Hollywood’s A-listers who is almost as well known for his romantic relationships as he is for his acting roles and his work behind the camera.
He has won two Academy Awards: one for best screenplay for Good Will Hunting (1998) and one for best picture for Argo (2013), which he directed. His highest-profile relationships have been with Jennifer Lopez (his co-star in the widely panned 2003 film Gigli), Jennifer Garner, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Affleck had a brief career as a professional poker player. He was also heavily involved in the high-stakes celebrity poker games hosted by Molly Bloom. He frequently played with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Matt Damon, and Nelly.
His skills and gambling interests go beyond poker too. Affleck is reportedly so good at blackjack that he has been asked by several Las Vegas casinos to not play there. He is such a talented blackjack player that casino staff assumed he was counting cards.
Drake is one of the biggest musicians in the world, having sold over 170 million albums to date. The Canadian’s most recent album, ‘ Honestly, Nevermind ’ just dropped on June 16th of this year.
Drake has attracted a lot of attention for his gambling livestreams where he places high-stakes bets at online casinos. He is rumored to have bet millions on a single blackjack hand or roulette spin.
Online casinos have made it much harder for us to know which celebrities like to gamble, since we aren’t able to see them going into a physical casino or sitting at the gaming tables. Playing at online casinos like Scores gives all players as much privacy and security as they want. This can be very attractive for celebrities who prefer to maintain some privacy in their personal lives.
But thanks to the rise of livestreaming by both celebrities and regular folk, we are still able to get a glimpse into the world of celebrity gambling. In fact, gambling streams could be considered just another genre of gaming streams.
At the height of his career, Charles Barkley was one of the most talented basketball players on the court. Between 1984 and 2000 he played for the Philadelphia 76ers, the Phoenix Suns, and the Houston Rockets. He averaged 22.1 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. He was also a member of the ‘Dream Team’, the US Olympic basketball team that dominated the competition in 1992 and 1996.
After retiring, Barkley became a popular basketball pundit, and has been commentating for TNT since 2000. He has also spent a lot of his time gambling. His game of choice is blackjack, but he also enjoys betting on sports, and has been known to place a bet on his own performances in celebrity golf tournaments!
Gladys Knight is rightly known as the “Empress of Soul”. She has made a massively important contribution to music over the course of her nearly 50-year career. She has won seven Grammys and numerous other awards, including an NAACP Image Award and a BET Lifetime Achievement Award. She also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
During the 1970s and 1980s she became deeply involved in gambling, playing blackjack and baccarat for hours on end. She decided to quit gambling when she realized it had begun to take over her life and was interfering with her ability to be a good mother.
