Now that I have a little more time I took a snapshot of the latest betting odds on the American Idol Top 13 as of today, March 5, 2012 from both
Pinnacle Sports and
Bovada. I then ranked all 13 contestants and added up their ranks from the two betting sites to see how they differ.

It is interesting to note both sites are sticking to their own favorites, Phillip fpr Bovada and Jessica for Pinnacle, so if you add the ranks together they are tied for the favorite. Bovada puts Jeremy at the longest shot to win at 30/1 whereas Pinnacle puts Jermaine at 36/1 with Jeremy at 35.87/1. The contestant with the largest difference in rank between the two sites (a difference of 4 positions) is Shannon (tied for #4 on Bovada, at #8 for Pinnacle) with both Skylar (tied for #7 on Bovada, #4 on Pinnacle) and Heejun 9 (#9 on Bovada, #6 on Pinnacle) seeing a difference of three. All the other contestants are within 1 or 2 positions of their ranks on the two sites.
