"A Look at the Odds Pre-Competition"

Posted by Fishercat on 02-18-06 at 12:23 PM
It's kind of amusing to see the odds of the dancers before the competition...and how bad the casinoes will be paying smart gamblers unless Stacy gains fan support fast.

Basically
Kiebler: 2:1
Carrere: 11:2
Rinna: 6:1
Hamilton: 9:1
Lachey: 9:1
Fernandez: 10:1
Miller (Master P): 11:1
O'Neal: 14:1
Rice: 19:1
Mayne: 24:1

Now, they got their first boot right with people taking the longshot losing their money week one. And they haven't been horrible...outside of Tia Carrere and Jerry Rice. They have their top odds getter (70% of betted money, so maybe it isn't that bad if she loses), they have 4th place, 5th place, and another Top 3 contesnt in their 5. But if Jerry Rice's fan support pulls through, anyone who took a risk on an athletic not-far-from-retired athlete in this competition is going to be getting a nice chunk of change.

It's interesting to look, because they got a lot of the order right, just they missed one significant guy.
