Who Will Win American Idol? The Sportsbooks Know!

As readers to OffshoreInsiders.com saw last week, the NewBodog oddsmakers were nothing short of sensational when it came to foretelling the Academy Awards winners. Forget the polls.  To see who is truly leading in the race for the White House, check out the odds to be elected President of the United States.

Now several of the top sportsbooks have posted odds on who will win American Idol 7.  David Archuleta is the overwhelming favorite to win the 2008 American Idol. Archuleta is listed as 10/11. Michael Johns is next at 7/1, followed very closely by Carly Smithson at 15/2.

The site DialIdol.com has proven to be fairly accurate in predicting the eventual winner by measuring busy signals. If that site is to be believed, Amanda Overmyer is a tremendous long shot at 75/1.

NewBodog has Ramiele Malubay and Brooke White each at 9/1 while Jason Castro is 16/1.

Asia'H Epperson, a favorite of forensic handicapping founder Stevie Vincent is also a dark horse at 18/1. Kristy Lee Cook is also in the running according NewBodog which has her at 20/1.

If American Idol bettors think that David Hernandez, David Cook, Syesha Mercado, Danny Noriega, or Kady Malloy will win, a lot of money is to be had. Each is ranging from 27/1 to 50/1.

Those given little chance to win according to the bookmakers include Amanda Overmyer and Chikezie Eze at 75/1 and Luke Menard at 125/1. How long of a shot is that? The same as Ron Paul's odds of being the Republican nominee for President of the US as Paul is 125/1.
