American Idol Bettors Sign in?
We are getting more and more Qs about betting AI. Anyone here who actually wagers on it? I recently spoke with some pros from Australia who fire 2k bets in to Pinnacle, rebetting until the price is above theirs. Apparently you can really cap this stuff?

Guilty as charged. I am on David Archuletta and Carly Smithson. I am going to lose however as Mr. Cook is taking control of this season.

I used to follow it religiously and bet every week.... then my Chris Daughtry future went up in smokes and have lost interest since.
There's actually cheat sites like dialidol.com which accurately predicts (91%) who will be voted off just by measuring the busy signal. Is it me or does that black dude look like Ryan from Big Brother? They look like twins... well, except one's white. |

From a gambling standpoint it's been pretty wild so far. A month ago the favorite David Archuleta was at +400, since then he's been pounded down to -130, and now back up to +120, with all the other contestants going on their own little roller coaster rides as well.
It's crazy, it's like watching a horse race, and then rebetting every 100 yards or so as the race progresses. My first year playing it, good stuff if you ask me. |

I had a futures bet on Michael Johns, is he still there? I have been too preoccupied to follow the show the last couple of weeks. Then last night my Directv box just died, and they're going to zap fry me a new box but I missed the FedEx deadline for last night so I still won't get the tv going until thursday.

Tune in for future Idol insight... We will be discussing the performances and the odds on a weekly basis from both a male and female perspective. There are all kinds of crazy things you can bet on this season.
