American Idol Odds in the Final Round at SBG Global

American Idol odds naturally evolve as the competition progresses. Two strategies that should be used to handicap these American Idol betting odds are examining the past week’s bottom contestants and predicting how supporters of eliminated contestants will vote in the future.

American Idol odds at the beginning of the Final Round will involve 12 contestants in Season 8, just like in previous seasons. However, these contestants will be drawn from a pool of 32 – not 24 – semi-finalists, meaning handicappers of the American Idol betting odds may not be as familiar with the finalists as the handicappers have been in previous seasons.

Naturally, examining the American Idol odds and predicting which singer will be eliminated is much harder at the very beginning of the round, when the number of contestants is greater. However, the American Idol odds will typically involve higher payouts at this stage in the round, thereby rewarding bettors willing to take the risk of wagering on these American Idol odds. Moreover, the American Idol odds can sometimes involve payout odds that are so high that bettors can wager on more than one singer and still profit if any one of the selected contestants is eliminated.

The easiest and most common strategy that bettors use when evaluating the American Idol betting odds is to look at the three bottom contestants chosen in the previous week. This strategy to handicap the American Idol odds obviously cannot be used in the very first week of the Final Round, but it is valuable to use in subsequent weeks. It is rational to assume that the singers who did not receive much support one week, but managed to remain in the competition, probably will not receive much support in the following week unless they give a jaw-dropping performance. Although this handicapping strategy can be effective, it is very basic and obvious, so it will not give you much of an advantage over your peers as you handicap the American Idol odds.

A more complicated strategy for handicapping the American Idol odds involves predicting how the supporters of a contestant will vote after the contestant is eliminated. Such predictions are very challenging to make at the very beginning of the Final Round, but they can be made with greater accuracy once the pool of contestants is reduced to just a handful of singers. For example, if only two males remain in the competition and one is eliminated, then you may predict that many of his supporters will consequently support the other male. If you can make such predictions correctly then this information will provide you valuable insights into the American Idol betting odds.
