American Idol Betting, Dancing With the Stars Odds Vary

This week, countless numbers of people will be betting on the American Idol and Dancing With The Stars finales.  Who will go on to win each contest?

The odds vary across the board and Gambling911.com has been monitoring the variations.

Let's look at our own sponsors to see what numbers are being offered for both shows.

American Idol:

Adam Lambert -300 BetUS.com (-350)

Kris Allen +250 SBG Global (+200)

Dancing With The Stars:

Gilles Marini -150 Sportsbook.com (-200)

Melissa Rycroft +220 Sportsinteraction.com (+120)

Shawn Johnson +330 Sportsinteraction.com (+200)

The -300 number on Adam Lambert was the lowest we could find and it's important since one would have to wager only $3.00 to win $1.00 at BetUS.com as opposed to $3.50 to win $1.00 at another online gambling website (initial bet is always returned if it's a winner). 

The best betting value we could find on Dancing With the Stars was at Sportsinteraction.com for both Melissa Rycroft and Shawn Johnson, paying a dollar and up more than some of their competition.

Adam for the WIN!!

Kris Allen is a fine singer and sweet guy. Kris will have a great career. But, Adam is a brilliant singer and entertainer. If Adam loses the title, then American Idol will look ridiculous. The only reason Adam will lose is by a huge backlash of biggots and haters who are judging him on trivial BS instead of judging him on his talent. We all know there is plenty of ugly being spread about this young man to quelch his chances for the title. But, God doesn't like ugly and believe me win or lose Adam will come out the WINNER. Adam is the one selling the most on Itunes, the most videos, the most memorabilia,, getting standing ovations and his picture on the front cover of magazines. Mmm that sounds like the definition of an American Idol to me. If people are smart they will vote based on talent and not on a person's home town values. Adam has not done anything offensive on the show. He has been humble and professional.

ADAM FOR THE WIN!!
