Default People who are overpriced

There are quite a few singers who although being good, have virtually no chance to win the competition. They can come in the top 5 maybe but they simply will not win. Because of this they should really be at like 2 thru 4 the entire time. Two prime examples of this are:

Stephanie Edwards
Sabrina Sloan


I could name a few more whom I believe have very little to no chance, but those two really have almost none. Despite that for some reason they are at 10 and 7.

The only reason they have any value is that for some reason people think there is a small chance they might win. Sabrina being +900 is simply ridiculous, same for Edwards being +1328. Anyone who buys these people is simply throwing money away, unless your plan is to unload them after another good performance (although I really don't see them getting any higher).

Phil Stacey also has zero chance, he shouldnt even be 5 3, he should be 2 0 because literally he has probably less than a 1% chance of winning the entire competition. Same for Antonella, she has zero zero zero chance to win. They should really have no value at all....so be ready to sell whenever you think they are at their peak.


Basically it's a really weird betting structure where even though we all know that some people have literally less than 1% chance to win, we buy them anyway, as do lots of others, with the hope that their stock (which should be practically worthless) will go up. It's just so weird, in a perfect world everyone should be spending their money on at most 5-6 people and everyone else should be stuck at 0.
