Rate & Predict American Idol

I love gambling lines, because they help reveal the opinions of those in-the-know.  Online gambling site Bodog has updated their odds for the American Idol winner, as well as added new, interesting wagers.

Crystal Bowersox heads the list as a 7/4 favorite to win American Idol.  Early favorites Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens have dropped down the list, coming in at 10/1 and 22/1, respectively.  Buoyed by strong performances in the semi-final rounds, screamin’ Siobhan Magnus (5/1), big Michael Lynche (5/1), Casey James (7/1), and Lee Dewyze (13/2) have emerged as Crystal’s toughest competition.

Just as interesting as predicting the winner, Bodog has introduced more “exotic” bets, where you can predict the last remaining male or female contestant, whether the winner will be male or female, and from which city the winner auditioned.  These are my favorite bets to predict, but then again, I’m the weird guy who likes betting on coin flips and Gatorade colors during the Super Bowl.

You can find the entire list of wagers on Bodog’s American Idol betting page.
