American Idol: Latest Odds to Win

With only seven Idols left, the American Idol latest odds to win Season 7 may shed some light on who stands the best shot of becoming the next big Taylor Hicks (Taylor Who?) and what the payout would be.

Because David Cook and David Archuleta are pretty much competing against each other at this point, neither are big enough favorites to discourage a bet on the David of your choice.

It's all based on opinion.  Some would say that Archuleta appears to the younger American Idol crowd and will therefore reel in more votes.  Others suggest that David Cook is among the most original Idols to appear on the show and he could garner votes from older fans (as well as some younger).

Last week, American Idol Season 7 experienced its first shock elimination with Australian Michael Johns being shown the door.  Gambling911.com had Johns pegged to finish among the Top 3.

Assuming Jason Castro can provide the same momentum as last week, he could make it a few more weeks.

None of the remaining females really look to go all the way.  Carly Smithson, who may not have the proper connection with the AI audience, has the best vocals of the females while Kristy Lee Cook is building a following within the Country music sector.  Last week's performance by Kristy Lee Cook kept her out of the bottom three.
