Based on those odds, it seems pretty clear that Sandra is the run away favorite. I've done a little poking around and this seems to confirm with what some of the spoilers say.

I'm just curious as to what people think about betting on a show like this, especially considering there are some posters on Survivor spoiler sites who seem pretty confident that they know who the Final 3 are.

I'm thinking if Sandra is -140 and the next closest is Parvati at +340, it probably means that Sandra is winning this thing, and if we can get it at -140 right now? That's a pretty good price to get an approx. 70% return on your investment in what, another 3.5 months or so?

I'm heavily considering a strong, 5+ unit play on Sandra and maybe a unit on Parvati just in case.
