 2008
Miss Universe
Wildcards
We all know that
Miss Venezuela, Miss
Puerto Rico and Miss
USA are listed among
the favorites to win
this year's Miss
Universe pageant
across the board at
nearly every online
gambling site
offering odds, but
what about those
2008 Miss Universe
wildcards?
Miss Czech Republic
- She's listed with
+1000 odds at
BetOnline.com
for a payout
potential of $1000
on every $100 bet.
Most online gambling
sites have her
listed around +1100
or 11/1 odds.
The longest and best
paying odds on Miss
Czech Republic could
be found at
BetUS.com
- a $1200 payout for
every $100 bet.
"I would like to be
a Top model and to
be successful
throughout the
world," said Miss
Czech Republic
Eliska Buckova.
Miss Panama doesn't
always appear among
the top 10 Miss
Universe favorites
but this year is one
notable exception.
The folks from
BetOnline.com
are rooting for
their native beauty.
BetOnline.com
operates from Panama
City and they've
published odds of
+1000 on Carolina
Dementiev Justavino
to win.
Miss Panama is an
aspiring athlete who
won the Silver Medal
in a Regional
Swimming
competition. Could
Carolina one day
become a future
Olympian as well as
maybe Miss Universe?
"I have a great
sense of
responsibility, hold
high levels of
discipline and that
I am willing to
always go the
extra-mile to
achieve my goals,"
Miss Panama stated.
Miss Colombia
promised a payout of
$1000 for every $100
bet as well at
SBG Global
Miss Colombia,
Tatiana María Vargas
Carrillo, is more
than a pretty face.
The former salsa
teacher expressed
the importance of
her role in an
interview with
El Espectador
"Knowing that you
take responsibility
to be ambassador,
not just of beauty,
but of an entire
country, is very
special," she said.
Miss Colombia denied
that beauty queens
were being
approached to
whitewash money for
drug trafficking.
"I am not aware of
that. I am the
Colombian beauty
queen and I haven’t
been linked to any
negative theme yet."
 Miss
Belgium is
definitely another
wildcard and a Miss
Universe
representative that
has already been
highlighted among
the pages of
Gambling911.com.
Miss Belgium -
Alizee Poulicek - is
very likely to hit
the single digits
prior to the airing
of July 13th heavily
bet on Miss Universe
Pageant. At press
time Miss Belgium
was listed with
+1200 odds at
Bookmaker.com.
The online gambling
website was forced
to add Miss Universe
2008 betting as a
separate text link
under its
Entertainment
Betting category due
to heavy demand
already more than
one week ahead of
airing.
What does Miss
Belgium like to do
in her spare time?
The answer....Pretty
much everything.
"I like to do
sports, such as
horse riding,
running, fitness,
dancing and skiing.
Also I like to read,
travel, to discover
new things, new
people, new
countries and
cultures.
Additionally, I like
music and cinema."
Other widcards
include Miss Mexico
at +1200 odds at
SBG Global
and Miss India, who
has now entered into
single digit odds at
BetOnline.com
(+800). Miss
Mexico has also
entered into single
digit odds at some
online gambling
sites.
"We have seen her as
short as 8/1 or +800
odds,"
Gambling911.com
Operations Manager,
Payton O'Brien said.
Miss Ireland, Miss
Dominican Republic
and Miss South
Africa have each
received significant
betting action in
recent days as well,
O'Brien disclosed.
