Eva Avila Overwhelming Favorite to Be Named the Next Canadian Idol at PinnacleSports.com

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The fourth edition of Canadian Idol has hit the homestretch as months of performances and 12,000 hopefuls from coast-to-coast have been narrowed down to just two remaining contestants vying for a major recording contract and the adoration of an entire country. With Canada's biggest talent search reaching its grand finale Sunday evening, PinnacleSports.com has released updated odds on who will be named the next Canadian Idol.

The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com first opened betting on the latest edition of Canadian Idol when the show was narrowed down to 10 finalists in July. It comes as no surprise to the oddsmakers at PinnacleSports.com that Eva Avila and Craig Sharpe are the two left standing, as the company originally opened wagering with the two as clear favorites to win the reality show. When betting opened, Sharpe was a slight favorite, but throughout the series Avila has received glowing accolades from the judges and is now a huge favorite to be voted the next Canadian Idol at 1/3 odds (i.e., win $1 for every $3 bet). As the show heads into its finale, PinnacleSports.com now lists 16-year-old Newfoundlander Sharpe as a 3/1 underdog to be crowned the next pop superstar.

"We saw support for Eva Avila grow each week during the series as her performances swayed more bettors into believing that she has what it takes to be the next Canadian Idol," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "Not only have the judges all but proclaimed her as the winner, but Eva has displayed far more talent in her superior performances with her good looks epitomizing the prototypical Idol. On top of all that, the recent news that Eva is dating fourth place finisher Chad Douchette has all but guaranteed a victory. At this point, bettors believe that Craig Sharpe's only hope is that the fanatical Newfoundland fans will continue to tirelessly vote for the province's native son."
