Craig Sharpe, Eva Avila & Chad Doucette Favorites To Win Canada?s Largest Talent Search
WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (July 17, 2006)?The fourth edition of Canadian Idol has been narrowed down to just ten remaining finalists after 12,000 hopefuls tried out from across the country. Already the top-ranked show of the summer, the reality show has struck a chord with millions of viewers and will now gain the attention of bettors as PinnacleSports.com today announced odds on who?ll be named the next Canadian Idol.
The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com was the first sportsbook in the world to offer wagering on the last edition of Canadian Idol and has now created individual odds on each of the remaining finalists winning a major recording contract. Earning consistently glowing reviews from the judges thus far, PinnacleSports.com has tabbed 16-year-old Newfoundlander Craig Sharpe as the early favorite to become Canada?s next pop idol at 5/2 odds (i.e., win $5 for every $2 bet). After delivering solid performances again last week, Eva Avila (9/2) and Chad Doucette (5/1) have distinguished themselves as serious contenders. PinnacleSports.com believes Ashley Coulter?s strong voice and charisma and Brandon Jones? popularity with young voters make both solid competitors to the Idol crown, listed at 6/1 and 15/2 odds, respectively. Saskatchewan?s Tyler Lewis (15/2), Ontario-native Kati Durst (14/1), 17-year-old Steffi D (16/1), elder statesman Rob James (16/1), and Idol Season Three competitor Sarah Loverock (17/1) round out the field hoping to win the popular vote and become the country?s next pop icon.
?Betting on the last season of Canadian Idol was extremely popular with our customers and should follow in the footsteps of its American counterpart, which is easily the most heavily bet entertainment event ever offered,? said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. ?Although only 16, Craig is arguably the strongest singer in the contest and should benefit greatly from a rapid fan base supporting him back in Newfoundland. Currently the biggest threat to Craig may be Eva who?s beautiful voice, appearance and stage presence definitely fit the Idol mold.?
PinnacleSports.com will be offering betting options on Canadian Idol throughout the remainder of the series until the show?s finale. All current odds are subject to change. For a complete list of odds, please visit pinnaclesports.com .
