China’s largest online marketplace, Taobao, is banning users from betting on the pop star’s relationship with new flame, British actor Tom Hiddleston . She said it herself: “Got a long list of ex-lovers.”Based on the star’s relationship track record, bet-placers do appear to have pretty good odds at cashing out. But now, Taylor Swift fans in China could be disappointed to learn they will no longer be able to make bank on the star’s bad blood. According to The Hollywood Reporter, vendors on Taobao billed the bets as “insurance policies,” which can legally be purchased. “As it is not strictly an insurance product, the sellers are not qualified as insurance sellers,” the Alibaba Group, the company behind Taobao, told the Hollywood Reporter.
