CRIS Should Be Embarrassed for Posting Abysmal American Idol Odds

[ChuckSims]

American Idol Odds at CRIS:
Taylor Hicks -240
Kat McPhee +125

Here is what Pinnacle is offering:
Taylor Hicks -188
KatMcPhee +170

What is CRIS saying to its cutomers? We really do not want to take any action on AI. Or, we have some real suckers that will actually bet into these ripoff lines.

BOTH

Chuck, you can't expect them to be all things to all people. Nothing wrong with not wanting to take action on something so unpredictable.

 

[royalfan]

It is ridiculous. Just save some face and not put up any line at all.

[jammanxc]

TAYLOR HICKS will win. period. put everything you have on him. After tomorrow's performance, watch the line rise to -400! Hicks will make katherine fold up like a cheap k-mart lawn chair

GYNE, you have NO IDEA how much I put on this bet. I have been undefeated in american idol bets for the past three seasons. I'm surprised I didn't move the -188 line. It will change tomorrow.

 

[gynecologist]

I know when I bet the $1100 on Daughtry the line moved immediately.
I will have something on it also. should be an easy winner.

 

[ppeter]

I put 5 dimes on Taylor at +550 several months ago.

I am buying back Kat +180 very agressively. I think she has a shot here.

 

[drunkguy]

CRIS has been throwing out some real high-hold prop lines lately

I guess there are enough suckers that bet this shit to make it worth their while

100% ?

100%?

100%?

I'm embarrassed for you son.

dont count on it. me and rawpimple alone will get mcphee over 2.2 million votes

 

[bigplay]

I have Hicks (6.28/1) to win from 3 months ago.

My advice load up on the chick.

 

[MrJ]

What's wrong with the CRIS lines if people are stupid enough to take them?

 

[amstel]

line is back where it should be..just a mather of a wrong price beeing put in on kat..real no need to cry about this...ucking:

 

[BAGIANT]

Maybe they're just getting a ton of money on the obvious winner. IMO, this is like getting Randy Johnson in his prime at a -240 price against Tampa Bay!
