Website Idea: Marriage pools

How many weddings have you been to that have ended in divorce? How many are probably on their way out? I haven't really been to many, but I'm looking at .500. Not a great statement for the high standards of the sanctity of the "eternal bond" is it?

Wouldn't it be nice to stop loosing money on showers, gifts, and weekends of preparation? I propose a website that will allow friends, family, and other random weirdos to throw down a few bucks and make a bet on how long a marriage will last. Conversely, one can wager that a marriage will last forever. HA! Seriously though, you can make money on others misery. God bless America.

It can work along the lines of general things like how long will it last to tie breaker to more of a point system, with topics like picking the reason of termination, who was at fault, etc. The more people who enter, the better the outcome will be, of course. Pools can be open or closed, which leads to the more public option: CELEBRITY WEDDINGS!

All information is confidential so the couple or other family members don't have to know which of their greedy friends and family are betting for or against them.

The closest thing I found on the web is weddingbetting.com which seems to be some sort of Hot or Not for weddings. Miss.
