So You Think You Can Dance (wagering)/Your help is needed....
I just spoke with Matchbook about this. Here is my live chat session. Anyone talk to WSEX yet? Please post here if you learn of any book offering odds on this show.
[ME] : Will Matchbook be offering markets on the upcoming "So You Think You Can Dance" show?** You are now speaking with Katya, Wagering. ** Katya : Hello and Welcome to Matchbook. [ME] : Hello [ME] : I've really enjoyed the American Idol markets and wagering this year, and the show mentioned above is very similar. Katya : One moment while I check please [ME] : Will Matchbook be offering markets on this show as well? I hope so, and I know many other Matchbook customers who also hope so.... Katya : We are looking into the possibility of offering it on the site if we can find someone committed to marketing making and enough customers who are interested. [ME] : anything I can do to help? I have many friends (on a website I frequent) that are interested, and would show support for the idea. Would you like me to have them email a particular person or department to show interest in the idea? Katya : If you send the e-mail then it will be forwarded to the relevant department, however sending them is not a guarantee. [ME] : ok, so the email should be to what address? Katya : You can send it ideas@matchbook.com [ME] : Thanks very much. Please forward this chat session to the appropriate department and note my request for markets on this show. Katya : Your information will be forwarded to the relevant department. And remember, this may go a long way towards preserving this forum's autonomy between now and AI Season 7. Let's keep the profits rolling and keep this forum alive! Email Matchbook now..... |

No, tomorrow night. I'm forced to watch with my girlfriend (although it's much more enjoyable for me than AI due to the....ummmmmm...."female talent"). I'll be darned, however, if I'm going to sit through an entire season of this and not get to (1) make some cash out of it; and (2) see Vegan chime in on which longshot is going to win and which of the contestants refuse to consume flesh....

Almost certain the first show airs on Thursday, the 24th. Might very well be in the AI time slot thereafter, but I'm nearly positive that the first one is tomorrow.
FWIW, IIRC the first few are in the audition/comical format, just as AI does. We won't be seeing any lines for a week or two, depending on how many episodes they dedicate to making fun of the freaks.... |

Just FYI
SYTYCD is a little different than Idol in how they eliminate people. America doesn't decide who goes home, they just decide the bottom 3, then from those 3 the judges decide who goes home. Makes things a little harder to predict. Or perhaps more challenging, because you'll have to think who will go home based on various 3 contestant permutations. Also, is there something that tracks the voting like DialIdol? |

Good post. I'm not sure about the DI equivalent here, but I doubt it.
I like the format where the judges decide the worst of the bottom three. I think you can get a feel for who they are annoyed with from the commentary on the (previous) shows, and I find that to be more predictable/reliable than the AI method of analysis. |
