American Idol Top 3 Betting Odds


With Amber Holcomb out of the competition, and the same Top 3 as named way back in Top 10 week the betting odds have not changed too much. It did not help that in the results show Ryan mentioned that the safe people were not listed in any particular order. That probably means that Kree Harrison was most likely NOT in the Bottom 2 with Amber, and most likely it was Candice instead. I also believe that Angie Miller probably had the most total votes this week and the betting odds confirm this. Before Amber's elimination, she was the long shot, but now there is not one with all three ladies having betting odds under 2.5. The order has changed for the top 3 from last week and their odds numbers have changed slightly. As a simple graph going back to April 24 we can see the odds trending pretty easily:
With their hometown visits, they are going to try to spin them all as being similarly popular, but in previous seasons it was pretty obvious that some of Idol winners drew much larger crowds than their competition (Scotty and Phillip for example.) I will be curious to see how the Wednesday show "spins" the popularity and crowds for the different contestants.
