Sportsbook has made Big Brown the overwhelming favorite to win the Preakness Stakes as well as a good shot to capture the
Triple Crown. These overwhelming odds are despite his reputation of a Barry
Sanders like feast or famine performance.

Brown not only is 1/3 to win at Pimlico,
but is now expected to win the Triple Crown at 1/2 The nation’s top sports
betting expert Joe Duffy says history and the unpredictable running of
Brown, make “no” at 3/2 a great betting proposition.

Once known as the “other David,” David Cook has
leapfrogged David Archuleta as the favorite to win American Idol. Cook is now
2/4, Archuleta has dropped to the No. 2 spot at 7/5. Syesha Mercado is given little respect by the sportsbooks at 20/1.

the top three key indicators as to who the next President of the United States will
be on the same
page. The Vegas odds for President now have Barack Obama as the favorite at
4/5, while John McCain at 7/5.

over McCain by 2.6 percentage points.
