You know I am a fan of Aranda and think he currently has the best shot at winning, but does that mean I refuse to look at or even bet on the other two singers? Certainly not.

American Idol TV show finalist Laine Hardy greets the crowd, telling them he thinks they are the largest group he'd ever played in front of, before singing at Livingston Parish Fairgrounds. The sixteenth season of American Idol premiered on March 11, 2018, on ABC tv. Although this is the sixteenth overall season, it is the first season of Americ.

A big part of betting on American Idol and other singing competitions can be hedging your bets. Even if it’s not a true hedge, you can always invest most of your cash on the winner andthen take a chance with one small bet on one of the other options.

That, or you can ignore my top pick and use some insight to successfully place a bet elsewhere.

Whatever you do, don’t ignore how good Laine Hardy is. I don’t think his voice is as inviting as Aranda’s, but one thing Aranda doesn’t have at Hardy’s level is showmanship.

Hardy has a pretty commanding stage presence and knows how to engage the crowd. He’s flashier and has a nice rasp to his voice. Needless to say, he’s a fan favorite and is going to bring in a tonof votes.

Is he a better talent than Aranda? No, but he’s pretty close to what American Idol personifies. That being said, he did a cover of The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” recently, and that was adangerous attempt.

He wasn’t bad, but if you do a Beatles song, you need to crush it. He didn’t, and to me, that could be the final nail in the coffin.

Laine Hardy has the talent, tone, and stage presence to shock. But there’s a reason why he pulls in with the third-best odds in American Idol’s top three.

Never mind March Madness. Forget about the mid-term elections. All eyes -- and bets -- are on the Fox reality show 'American Idol' to generate the most intense competition of the year, according to John Avello, director of race & sports operations for Wynn Las Vegas.
Avello, whose purview normally covers all on-site sports bets and nationwide horse racing for the Las Vegas Strip venue, has assessed all 'Idol' contestants since the launch of the show. He has a near perfect record, pegging advance #1 rankings to winners Ruben Studdard, Fantasia and Carrie Underwood weeks before their crowning.
As of today, Avello has given open odds to win the 2006 season of 'Idol' as follows:
