American Idol 6

[BleedDodgerBlue]

For those who care, I said I would post who I was taking in the markets. For those who don't. Don't read.

straight wagers via pinnacle:
(placed for me, not buy me because i live in the wonderful US)


Antonella Barba + 4000 x 2. She's only + 1100 now and the value is gone, but she is so hot its scary. I really don't think she will win, but man I would love 3 minutes and 13 seconds with her.

Brandon Rogers + 1178 x 4. My male choice to win it all right now. Could change, but this guy has everything from stage presence to voice.

Chris Sligh + 741 x 3. Best personality by far and can sing. He's funny, hopefully it doesn't turn into annoying.

That's it for straight wagers. The only other guy I really liked was that Castro looking dude and he got kicked off for a marijuana misdemeanor.

WSEX Markets.

Heres my opening portfolio. For those who care, I'll update buys and sells in this thread:

Chris Sligh 30 shares at 14

Lakisha Jones 50 shares at 12. If people get over her looks, she's the best voice by far.

Brandon Rogers 40 shares at 10. My opening pick.

Sanjay Malakar 40 shares at 7. The little Indian kid will become a cult classic. Might not be able to win, but will definitely go up in price as he goes pretty far.

Jared Colter. 50 shares at 4. I've heard he can sing really well and producers haven't shown much of him yet. Sort of a flier.

Sundance looked good early, but is outclassed in singing much. So I didn't buy any of him and the only other person I was remotely interested in was Jordin Sparks (being a sports board I'd figure some were interested in that her dad played corner for the NY Giants), but 16 year old girls falter every year in AI.

The only other person who scares me is Melinda Doolittle beacuse she's good and I don't have any of her yet, but hey had to leave someone out.

If I had to pick finalists today, I'd choose Brandon Rogers and Lakisha Jones. Be nice to see Chris Sligh up there as a top 3. But I don't. That's the beauty of markets. Buy low and sell high.

Good luck to all of you and they naysayers can just keep on negativity.

BDB,

I was waiting to see what you thought about this year.....

I have to ask you where do you bet shares on this stuff?

Also, the way you bet this, can you profit as you go, or do you have to have your funds locked up for quite sometime? With the current state of online gaming, I'd rather not have it locked up for a long time.

Thanks bro

BDB,

World Sports Exchange wsex.com

as for them, they hate the US and will be the last online book to fall. you can sell whenever you want, but must keep your shares for the best profits. it's a 3 month season now, so money isn't held for too long, and if you need it you can always sell

i dont think she stands a chance, i dont think she will even make the top 12 id be STUNNED if she does. that marissa rhodes girl was twice as good as her they made a mistake here just cause shes good looking.

Chris Sligh + 741 x 3. Best personality by far and can sing. He's funny, hopefully it doesn't turn into annoying.

yes sir!! ive picked the last 3 winners, and this is my pick this year!!

 

[The Big Tease]

After watching this show for all 5 previous seasons.....all I will say is this.

I wont be shy to sell shares of anyone at anytime if I can guarantee a profit. Just when someone seems to be the cant miss winner of this show.....they are gone.

Right now I like that Brandon Rogers kid.....but that just means he will go out 4th., lol

 

[THE HITMAN]

I'd settle for he 13 seconds with Antonella.

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

i dont think she stands a chance, i dont think she will even make the top 12 id be STUNNED if she does.

I'll bet you up to 20k at 5-1 odds that she makes the top 12. We can get an intermediary to hold the money if you are serious. Prepare to be "stunned"

American Idol is just as much a popularity contest as it is a singing contest.

Of the 5 seasons 2 the public got right, 2 the public got wrong, and 1 was a wash if you judge solely by record sales. Clarkson and Underwood were right. Hicks and Studdard were wrong and season 3 was a disaster. Again, music is subjective and this is based solely on record sales.

As for Sligh he's probably rightfully so the frontrunner right now, but I'm just not sure he won't become annoying after long. I hope not cause I like him now.

5 to 1? there are 24 singers. so its 50/50 she makes the top 12, why would i give you 5 to 1 odds? lol. ib be willin to bet u $200 at 2 to 1 odds she doesnt make the top 12 thou

I'm giving you 5-1 odds. We can bet whatever you want. She's guaranteed top 12.

[DietPepsiWinner]

um, so if the bet is $200.

she makes top 12, i owe you $200.

she doesnt , you owe me $1000.

is that correct?

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

yeah, thats correct. but we need to find an intermediary to hold the money. and jack hates these type of things. so get my email and we'll get someone on 2+ to hold it. and we can talk about it there. no offense, but stiffs galore out there and you've only been here for a month so i don't know you from adam. and without neteller moving money is a problem. and to be real honest without being a prick or stuck up its not really worth a hassle for 200. but i said i would so if thats what you want fine. going out. check later.

[DietPepsiWinner]

whats 2+? and its gonna be very hard to find somebody we BOTH trust with the $$

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

whats 2+? and its gonna be very hard to find somebody we BOTH trust with the $$

I agree and its really not worth my time. but i can assure you that you are dead wrong on her. she will easily go top 12 even if she misses every note.

February 19, 2007 -- CUTE doesn't hurt.

Antonella Barba, the "American Idol" semi-finalist from Point Pleasant, N.J., has suddenly emerged as the favorite, according to AOL.

Barba, who seems to have captured a lot of attention after trying out for the talent showwith her best friend, Amanda Colucci, is by far the most-searched name on AOL's Web site, the company is expected to announce later today.

Chris Sligh, a pudgy, curly-haired rocker from South Carolina was No. 2. And Jason "Sundance" Head, the Memphis kid with a whisk-broom goatee and a big voice, is No. 3.

The AOL search count cannot predict how people will vote when the competition resumes tomorrow - but it is a reliable gauge of which singers have caught the eye of the audience that is most likely to vote.

Melinda Doolittle and Lakisha Jones - the two singers most often mentioned in the early going as favorites - may need some more time to wiggle their way into viewers hearts.

They ranked No. 10 and No. 21 respectively out of the 24 semi-finalists.


As I said, Jack hates these things and I don't really need 200 enough to go to the trouble. Lets keep this thread positive.

Hope you win money on idol regardless.

and 2+ is a poker forum with the best and profitable handicappers.

[DietPepsiWinner]

an AOL search thou. what about google? that would probably be a more accurate reading i think. shes just awful, but i will say there is ALWAYS 1-2 singers in the top 12 that are just plain bad!!! so maybes shes one of them?

i bet chris only, im convinced he will win & i called Carrie & Taylor from the auditions

bdb...i've been using these markets for a while now...rode tits mickltits two weekends ago all the way to the bank. question...is the idol betting live?

thanks

funny you say that. I rode charles howell III to a $4600 win on Sunday. Bought 50 at 8 when he was 2 back with 3 or 4 to go. Apprently tits micklits helped both of us prosper. I do real well on their golf markets.

as for idol, i can only answer on years past. they were taken down during the east coast show and put up again at the end of the west coast show usually. sometimes there were delays. contestants really won't move much until the end and you have ample time during the week to dump or buy. the lines aren't even up anymore so i'm not too sure what's going on, but i still have shares listed in my reports and i'm sure they will go back up soon.

as for liquidity, it will be a little more of a problem given the US gambling climate, but WSEX is strong and they make no bones that they still accept US customers and will til the end. Jay Cohen owns the place and is as anti-government as it gets.

great work, i love those golf markets...i had bought 15 phils at 7 bucks two thursdays ago...sold half at 58 and had the others redeem@ 100:00hour

by the way the lines are back up...wishing sundance was worth more than 5 bucks to sell, cause i would be shorting the hell out of him...still thinking of selling 100 or so head's to make 500 bones:SIB

I have to say that I have watched this show regularly for years. Not missing a TIVO taped episode. With that being said, I have had a great deal of difficulty retaining interest in this years shows. I think this is the worst crop of characters we've seen yet. Barba is at best attractive, she is not "HOT". She may be the best looking of the sad group, but that really isn't saying all that much. Haley Scarnato is just as good looking, but she is from Texas and doesn't have that "Jersey Attitude". Barba had better sing her Jersey ass off to make the top 12, but then again, this would be the year for her to do it with such little competition in the entire lot........The Indian kid will be one of the first to go. Of course, that's just my two cents.:shrug:

 

[wareagle]

my two longshots...bought up plenty of both...mrs hunt and mrs scarnato
