Poker Pro Shannon Elizabeth Pays $20 for Every $1 Bet if She Wins Dancing With the Stars

Oddsmakers do not believe celebrity poker player and American Pie sweetheart Shannon Elizabeth can survive Dancing With the Stars.  Gambling911.com's call to action is to "call in and place your votes for Shannon".

"We want her to win and the poker community much join forces to show we as a cohesive community have the power," declared Gambling911.com Senior Editor, Payton O'Brien. 

Right now the industry is fighting to have poker prohibition lifted thanks to the bipartisan efforts by Congressmen Barney Frank (D) and Ron Paul (R)

Thus far, Shannon Elizabeth has failed to make the cut as easily as her competition that includes Kristi Yamaguchi, the -125 favorite to win and Jason Taylor at +125 odds. 

Shannon's luck at the poker table hasn't necessarily translated into success on Dancing With the Stars even though some might argue she is holding her own.  But mishaps continue to plague the young beauty and those around her.  Dance partner Derek Hough took to the floor with her on Monday, just hours after he was treated in the hospital for food poisoning.

The professional dancer fell ill after drinking a protein shake. He was treated by medics and recovered in time to samba with Elizabeth.

We can only hope and pray that Shannon does not fall victim to the dreaded Dancing With the Stars Curse, which appears to be rearing its ugly head once again this season.
