With a solid fan base and the best score of the night, Lil' Kim is looking like a very good bet to win this season's Dancing With The Stars, at least where gamblers are concerned.
Coming into Monday night's show, Lil' Kim had odds of +1200 at Sportsinteraction.com - Click Here Those odds would pay out $120 for every $10 bet or $1200 for every $100 bet.
While Gilles Marini remained the slight even odds favorite at Sports Interaction, both Shawn Johnson and Melissa Rycroft promised a payout of just under $20 for every $10 bet.
"Everybody thinks Gilles is going to win it, but Lil' Kim is doing well and her those payout odds are too tempting to pass up," says Payton O'Brien of Gambling911.com.
From Entertainment Weekly Online:
Lil' Kim and Derek: 28 out of possible 30 points Their jive, cheekily set to ''Jailhouse Rock,'' easily could have served as the couple's final-three freestyle routine instead. DANCMSTR complained about the excessive theatrics, while Bruno and Carrie Ann flipped the eff out over the jive's brilliance. ''I am guilty of love in the first degree!'' wailed a begging-to-be-handcuffed Bruno, while C.A. executed one of her trademark Standing Whoops. You know Carrie Ann truly thought a performance was amazing if the next sentence out of her mouth is ''Where'd my diamonds go?'' Personally, I caught some mistakes by Lil' Kim on my first watch and couldn't understand the 10s, but on my second try, I was pretty much in awe of Derek's clever choreography and completely ridiculous hair. Considering this was Lil' Kim, the theme was ''prison,'' and the rehearsal segment featured fried food, this couple's ''jive'' might be one of my favorite DWTS performances, ever. But was it worthy of 10s? Nah. Did anyone else nearly taste those chocolate shakes through their TVs and then die a little inside upon the realization that there's about a 2% chance Lil' Kim and Derek actually drank them?
By comparison, Rycroft scored a 27 while Marini scored a 26 as did Johnson.
"Lil' Kim had the second best score last week," said O'Brien. "Why not lay $10 to win $120 for her to win this season's Dancing With The Stars?"
Sportsinteraction.com was expected to update Dancing With The Stars odds by either Wednesday or Thursday, whereby the payout would not be as great for Lil' Kim.
"Gambling911.com expects her to pay better than the other three though," said O'Brien.
