Emmitt Smith Favorite to Win Dancing With The Stars at PinnacleSports.com

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- After two months of competition, ABC's hit show "Dancing With The Stars" has reached its grand finale with only two celebrity teams remaining in the competition. After Wednesday's elimination of Joey Lawrence, the celebrity dance contest is down to former teen heartthrob Mario Lopez versus the NFL's all-time leading rusher, Emmitt Smith. With the "Saved By The Bell" star Lopez and Dallas Cowboy great Smith performing their final routines next week, PinnacleSports.com has announced updated odds on who'll win "Dancing With The Stars".

The Internet's largest sports betting site, PinnacleSports.com was the first bookmaker to post odds on "Dancing With The Stars". Throughout the series, Mario Lopez had been the favorite to win the competition, but now bettors have now put their support behind Emmitt Smith in the past week, vaulting him into favorite status and dropping his odds to win the competition to 4/5 (i.e., win $4 for every $5 bet). As the series heads into its final week, PinnacleSports.com now lists Lopez as the underdog to be crowned the next dance champion at 11/10 odds. As recently as two weeks ago when only four competitors remained, PinnacleSports.com listed Lopez a 5/6 favorite to win the celebrity dance-off, while Emmitt Smith had the second best odds at 7/4.

"We initially saw support for Emmitt Smith begin to swell in the last week when we received several $300 maximum limit bets on the former Super Bowl winner," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "Although customers weren't backing him nearly as much as when betting opened, Lopez remained our favorite to win Dancing With The Stars until recently mainly because of his superior dancing skills. While he may not have the better moves of the two finalists, Emmitt Smith certainly has the charisma to win over America's vote and add the dancing crown to his three Super Bowl rings."
