Idol odds are in the news again at Sportsbook.com

April 18

Many online casinos fans are not just great casino game players, but many are even bettors who enjoy a bit of pop culture as well as spots betting. This year, American Idol is even more popular than it was last year. Online casinos players are even getting in on the action by betting on who they think will win and who they think will be the next contestant to be canned from the TV show.

Odds for events that are not team against team are exciting because unlike sporting events, American Idol winners are voted on by the viewers – it’s not like the best team wins, see. The most popular contestant wins, so odds can be pretty good, too. For instance, Bucky Covington was not an American Idol viewer favorite or a sportsbook.com bettor favorite either. Odds weren’t on his side at Sportsbook.com either. So, if Sportsbook.com betting trends can still predict the outcome of the talent show it would mean that Elliot Yamin will be the next American Idol contestant to get the boot.

This week, the Idol judges thought Yamin did a pretty good job and it will be interesting to see if the judge’s comments of praise for his last performance will change the viewer’s outlook on him. This is what makes betting on pop culture events like Idol so fun. Most everyone you know has bet on something in life, this generation bets online, and at Sportsbook.com it is very apparent that Idol fans bet for sure.

As it stands with the odds on Idol contestants now, Chris Daughtry is still at the top of the heap with odds holding steady at 7 to 5. Katharine McPhee is trailing behind Daughtry with odds of 3 to 1. Previously her odds were at 13 to 5

Kellie Pickler's bettor support has totally jumped and she now has odds of 5 to 1.

This newest set of odds shows yet another shift in the odds and fan support. Things could quite possibly end up totally changing again, too.  This whole competition has been really interesting this season. More online casino bettors are betting on American Idol than have ever before. For many weeks it has looked like the winner would be either Chris Daughtry or Katherine McPhee, but as Kellie Pickler’s support grows – we could see a whole new situation next week.
