Yea, what is this free money you speak of? Are lines really that far off? Surebets to be made?

there's no wagering until it is down to the top 24. however, since it starts with 24 people in a single winner 100-pay contract, there is no contestant that will open at a price above 18 or so. that leaves lots of room for profit. if you can single in on just a few contestants very early, you can work your way into covering a few strong contestants for much less than $100.

if you are lucky, you will pick someone that opens @ 8, languishes, then becomes the heir apparent at the very end.
there are many other prop bests with the wagering (last longer, male vs female etc). as we get closer to the markets opening, check back here and you will get some quick tutorials on the best plays.

It's work, just like anything else.

But the lack of action leads to a very inefficient market as compared to the NBA or NFL.

And the fact that it's sort of rigged means you can find +EV opportunities by understanding how the show works on a level different from the viewing public. It's not always about who is the best singer. Hell, it's not even always a popularity contest (see: Ruben)

by rigged, do you mean creative editing, favoratism and controlled air-time by the producers? or are you suggesting something else?
