American Idol Betting Odds: Lambert Now The Gambling Favorite
American Idol betting odds fluctuate so much through the course of a season, that it is tough to get a grasp on who will be favored from week to week. This year, Danny Gokey has been the favorite since the live competition has begun.
That will all change tonight when the top nine contestants hit the stage. Adam Lambert had the best week of all the Idol's last week according to the judges, and now he has become the betting favorite. His odds to win the competition dropped to +110.
Gokey did not fall completely out of favor with the odds makers. He is still the second choice, with odds of +250. The two of the top favorites have been the same from the beginning of the season.
There are only three women left in the competition. Allison Iraheta has the best current odds of any of the women at +500. Lil Rounds, who previously was the ladies favorite, has dropped to +1000, and the long shot of the women is still Megan Joy Corkrey at +6000.
As for the rest of the male vocalists, Matt Giraud has odds of +1000 after a strong performance last week. Even though the judge's thought he was great, he was in the bottom three, but managed to survive.
Anoop Desai has managed to stay alive after almost being eliminated early in the competition. Kris Allen has flown under the radar but is starting to become one of the popular Idol's. They are both at +2000. Scott MacIntyre is now the long shot on the male side at +4000.
