Taking Bets on Popular TV Series

One online casino is focusing on the Canadian offshoot of the popular American Idol series known as Canadian Idol. The popular American format translated very well in the Canadian market and as the race for first place on the hit TV show heats up, Pinnacle Sports has started posting odds on who they believe has the greatest chance of becoming the show´s finalist.

The hit Canadian Idol (a spin off the American Idol) is nearing its final stages and one casino in particular is taking bets on who will win. The series started off with thousands of contestant from all over Canada and now in its last stages has been narrowed down to eight of the competitions finalists. They are ultimately competing for a major recording contract which will be awarded to the finalist and may send him or her off into stardom. Pinnacle Sports, a well known gambling operation that takes bets and sets odds in many different areas (not just sports), has set odds based on the likelihood of which of the remaining eight will win.

One industry insider recently commented in the hit show Canadian Idol: The last edition of American Idol was easily the most popular entertainment event with our bettors and after receiving numerous inquiries from our Canadian customers, we expect internet wagering on Canadian Idol to be a hit with our players.

Right now the online casino is placing Newfoundland's Rex Goudie in the hot seat as the contender with the greatest chance of winning Canadian Idol. Pinnacle Sports set his odds at 7/4. Suzi Rawn is another favorite, which has set her odds at a 7/2 pay-off. We´ll have to wait and see what happens but one contender and many players could end up lucky winners in the weeks to come.
