Odds To Win American Idol

This is the most common way to bet on American Idol. Simply put, you wager on which singer you think is going to win the competition and if that singer wins… you win.

In sports betting terms, these are called futures mainly because you are placing a wager on an event that will not be determined right away but rather in the future. Every sport has future odds and while American Idol is not a sport, there is still a wide field of competitors vying for the same prize which is truly all you need for future odds.Futures are available throughout much of the American Idol season however they are more prevalent  between the Top-25 stages and the season finale.

Head To Head American Idol Odds

This form of betting isn’t very common when it comes to American Idol however it does exist… we’ve bet on them before with our own money. These work by pitting two singers again each other to see which one will last the longest. If one of the singers gets eliminated for whatever reason, the wagers made on the other singer are graded as wins. These are really fun especially if you have a friend/spouse/significant other that likes to watch the show with you but likes someone other than your favorite singer.
