If you vote for Lee Dewyze during tonight’s American Idol episode, you could have a hand in one of the biggest turnarounds the show has ever seen.
Lee Dewyze started out the 2010 American Idol season as one of the shows biggest underdogs at 55/1. Since then, a string of impressive performances has put Dewyze as one of the favorites to become the eventual winner, and the new odds have him as the 2nd favorite behind Crystal Bowersox.
The American Idol betting odds at BoDog Sportsbook currently have Lee Dewyze as the 4.5/1 choice with Bowersox at 4/1, and Lee will have to put in another stellar performance during tonight’s episode if he hopes to keep pace with the talented female singer who performed yesterday.
Many of the judges seemed shocked after Lee Dewyze’s performance on American Idol last week. Lee performed Hinder’s “Lips of an Angel”, and Simon Cowell seemed to be the biggest Dewyze backer after stating that the Illinois native was “head and shoulders above everyone.”
American Idol judge Kara Diguardi stated about Dewyze that “I hear you on the radio right now. You're very commercial”, while Ellen Degeneres made note about her love of Lee’s “passion” and “intensity”.
Despite the American Idol season 9 betting odds falling lately on Dewyze, there are still plenty of reasons to like him at that number. First off, a simple $20 bet will pay off at close to $100. Second, the guys during the 2010 American Idol season have not been impressive so it’s much easier for a guy like Dewyze to really stand out amongst the remaining top 8 male contestants.
Make sure to place a vote for American Idol contestant Lee Dewyze during tonight’s episode before betting on the 23-year old singer at BoDog Sportsbook.
