We're not encouraging gambling, as American Idol should be enjoyed for its entertainment value. But for those who do have a hankering for some wagering, consider the following:

The site www.betED.com is offering odds on who will win Season Six of American Idol.

Participants have a simple choice: Will the winner of American Idol be male (+100) or female (-150)?

In other words, those behind the odds seem to think a woman will come out on top this year. History does back this up, seeing as three females have been crowned champions so far and only two males.
