American Idol Finale Betting Odds - Top 2!
Now the Joshua Ledet has left the competition, American Idol is now Phillip Phillips versus Jessica Sanchez. I saw the Pinnacle odds posted, but this time they do not say Phillip's odds versus Jessica's odds. Now now they just ask "Will Phillip Phillips Win Season 11?" He could be defeating Joshua, Jessica, Hollie, kidney stones or Heejun. They just ask will he win, and the betting odds say he will. He is a 1.313:1 favorite with the "No" option paying 3.74:1. His betting odds are not as low as Scotty McCreery's last year who paid a piddly 1:5 odds, and Jessica's 3.74:1 is a little higher than Lauren Alaina's 3:1 odds at that time. Now that it is down to just Phillip and Jessica, the two front runners all season, I can change my chart to have a linear and not logarithmic scale since both of their odds have always been under 5:1.
In March Jessica was the favorite until her near elimination and save in early April. Since then Phillip has been the one to beat, and it looks like nobody will do it.
