Handicapping American Idol.....

Look - before you make a joke, there is money to be made here. Alright - Im a box - go ahead and call me mansack. But heres the deal. I went to dinner tonight with 10 24 year olds. I took my little sister and friends out with me and my wife (yes my wife came - she will not let me alone with this crowd). Heres the important info. They talked about this guy Ace for about 20 minutes. So I start asking questions. They say he is talented, good looking, and college kids love him. America will love him. So I get home and do this at pinny: Wager Type: Proposition/Future Selection 1 : American Idol Odds To Win 2006 American Idol 3) Ace Young +426 Risking 235.00 to Win 1,001.10 USD Just thought I would share. ||reallyhappy.gif' border=0>

||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0> How can you lose with a guy named Ace?

ok did the odds just go from +426 to +346?||an_speechless.gif' border=0>

ok did the odds just go from +426 to +346 Yes they did. I put a limit ($235) bet on them and it went to +380. Someone who read this must have put another limit bet on them to drive it to +346. Someone at pinnacle right now is making a phone call to a manager "boss, we are getting a run of sharp money on Ace!" ||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0>

Is this why this show gets such high ratings because people are gambling on the outcome? I see no other reason to watch it than this.

ur fucking crazy, you took a sampling of 10 ppl from a very specific demographic and extrapolated over a nation of 275,000,000 ppl. How many pretty boys have won American Idol? 0. American Idol is the most watched show in america across every demographic from 8 to 80, and pretty boys dont sell well to many people. U think Clay Aiken and Ruben had the girls you mentioned weak in the knees? Taylor Hicks is the new American Idol. Just watch how Paula's face light up like a Christmas tree everytime he starts performing. He engenders ill will from no demographic and appeals on some level to all. Don't you think there is a reason Taylor Hicks is always the last shown on the audition and prelim shows. The producers and editors know they have something special in him so they want that to be the last thing in your mind. Pinny is loving your action. 2 units on Hicks and 1 unit on Pickler

Do whackadoo and van have history? ||paint_help.gif' border=0>

whack dude taylor sure is gonna get some fans but he wont win....remember who is voting....yeah its cool that the guy has grey hair and can still sing....great for him...but i can almost assure you he wont win. pickler, on the other hand, definately has a chance

Not sure about you guys, but Pickler does it for me...what a piece of ass! On a more relevant note, she has a great chance...pretty, excellent voice, hot body...overall "star quality"...and her sad story certainly does not hurt her (no mom and dad in and out of prison)....sounds like a TV movie of the week! ||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0>

Nothing to be embarrased about at all, I have made more money betting the idol competitions the last 5 years than I have betting anything else. So far I have bet on one male and one female. Chris Daughtry + 793 Katherine Mcphee + 431

I should add that I really like Hicks and I think he will make it far. I might bet him later on.

"The sharpe money is coming in on Ace boss" ||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0>

Eric the Midget called Howard Stern this morning and said that Ace would win. all he does is watch American Idol

PICKLER says she can burp like a man. now i wanna Fuck her even more. ||Peace_5.gif' border=0>

HERE. maybe The cameras will catch becky and heather making out backstage. That would be cool. ||Peace_5.gif' border=0>

Becky Most embarassing moments? Walking out of a party with a professional athlete/celebrity and tripping + falling flat on my face. ||lie.gif' border=0>||surprised.gif' border=0> What would people be surprised to learn about you? That I have a 27" vertical and can post up anytime. ||thebasketball.gif' border=0>

Bluewhackadoo - I think you miss the sarcasm in my post. I have not seen a minute of the show this year. GL with your pick.

Will Makar...this 16 year old kid can bring it..||thumbs_up.gif' border=0>..+2353..||moneybag.gif' border=0>

Forget Pickler,Becky O'Donohue does it for me||an_tongueout.gif' border=0> She played div.1 bassketball. Allstate in volleyball. And she has a twin sister.||thumbs_up.gif' border=0> {tall,hot,and loves sports.She gets my vote.}

Yes Becky is nails I'd ||an_fight.gif' border=0> that box up

Vanzack I will follow your pick (just watching, no betting) and would be nice to hit it but I think those odds are low!! I prefer a girl to win!! (one of the good lookers!)

I took Carrie Underwood at 3-1 odds with 5 people left last year. Sometimes, it might be best to wait till the final 10-5, to make a wager...||thumbs_up.gif' border=0> ||Peace_5.gif' border=0>||clover.gif' border=0>||an_cheers.gif' border=0>

Carrie Underwood wasnt 3-1 with 5 left.
