Actually, I think this forum should change to something like "Reality TV" (or "Reality TV Wagering") or something to that effect, at least, in the off-season.

this is actually exactly what i was going to propose.

big brother starts 1-2 months after idol, easier money than idol, but sportsbooks hate offering it 1) because there is no interest and 2) things can completely flip in that game at any moment.

It would be a long offseason, so emailing these sites come june would be something to consider.

Bodog usually has lines on the reality shows (Survivor, Rock Star, Dancing w the stars, Project Runway, etc.). These are often ridiculously easy money (esp. the talent-based shows - shows like Survivor and Big Brother are harder to predict and I usually avoid wagering on them).

[pokerplayer28]

Big brother is definately unpredictable, but how the lines will be set are not. They always set the odds based on the popularity of the contestants not their position in the game. Which makes perfect sense.

BB6 before it starts Janelle is a huge dog because america doesnt like her based on her picture, then half way through the season she is a favorite to win along with kaysar.

BB7 Boogie was a long shot through out the show because america hated him, but was in great shape to win from start to finish.

This doesnt belong in a lakisha thread in apr, but something to discuss in the offseason.

I've been wondering about this for a while now, and I think this would be perfectly appropriate. I also think it would encourage more discussion about +EV wagering on the other reality shows out there, to the extent offered. Great idea, everybody wins.

the original plan was for the forum to be open only during the season. however, i think we have had enough traffic where i can propose to mat that it stand as a reality tv forum. i'll let you guys know how it goes.

Granny - think this has been mentioned before... but how about an "Entertainment Wagering Forum" or something?

I'm glad someone thought it was funny.
Meanwhile: People, people, listen up Lakisha can sing and you will hear her sing her heart out this week. The judges will love her and she will be back on top once again! You will never get someone with her talent at this price ever!

Both of your picks were bottom 2. Are you starting to see why people in this thread are calling you delusional?

Now wait a minute. I said I took 33-1 on Sanjaya but I never pridicted him to win. I just thought based on his price and the fact that people were keeping him alive, I flushed some money down the toilet. I even said they should shut down the competition if he wins. I think he was the worst Hollywood contestant in Idol history. So to be clear my prediciton is Lakisha to be in the finals. As I keep saying she has one of the two best voices in the competition.
