Online gambling site includes Canadian Idol odds on its roster
TORONTO (CP) – A gambling company in the Caribbean has taken note of the popularity of Canadian Idol.
BetWWTs.com says 18-year-old Kalan Porter is the one most likely to win the record deal at nine-to-five odds. That means for every $5 gamblers put up for the blond-haired student from Medicine Hat, Alta., they’d win $9. Wild card winner Elena Juatco, a 19-year-old from Vancouver, is considered the second most likely to win at seven-to-two odds.
She’s followed by 23-year-old Theresa Sokyrka, of Saskatoon, at four-to-one odds.
Wednesday marked the beginning of the next round of competition on the show. That’s when the Top 10, whittled down from 9,000 who auditioned, will begin to be eliminated.
Broadcaster CTV will be adding some celebrities to mix this year with Gordon Lightfoot and Lionel Ritchie scheduled to make appearances later in the season. They will be helping the wannabe-pop stars practise songs from their respective songbooks.
