    The top two guys on American Idol are paying 2-1 and 11/4-1 on Bodog...They are by far the best two in the competition. Too bad the Max bet is only $50. I did this with archuleta and cook last year and profited about the same.

    Risk To win
    Adam Lambert $50 $100
    Danny Gokey $50 $137.50

    I'm confused. Are you betting on both? To win?

    So you either break even or win $37.50? Unless there is an upset, in which case you're fucked?

    No. $50 wins $100...pays $150

    and $50 wins $137.50...pays $187.50

    How is Lambert the favorite? Gokey will win pretty easily.

    and $50 wins $137.50...pays $187.50

    This makes sense. So IF one of the two favorites wins you win.

    The ROI (for a win) would be either 50% or 87.5% though, yes?

    i think gokey looks solid right now

    on a side note, and i hope this doesnt sound bad, i mean no disrespect, but i am very uncomfortable watching Scott dance.

    i also wish wardrobe would throw some stevie wonder, ray charles type of specs on the boy, make him a little cooler and not have to look in to his crazy eyes,

    and finally, someone run a comb through that kids hair.

    PS: what are the odds on the oh not so natural red head chick Allison, and Alexis, those might be a couple long shots to stick some dough on
