Miss Universe
Oddsmakers Drooling
Odds favor Miss
Belgium winning mega
pageant
Belgium is known for
waffles, great
artists, chocolate,
exotic beers and it
was the scene of
Napoleon's final
defeat.
Suddenly the
European nation is
being propelled into
the elite category
dominated by
Venezuela, Puerto
Rico, The USA,
Mexico and Columbia.
Miss Belgium -
Alizee Poulicek - is
very likely to hit
the single digits
prior to the airing
of July 13th heavily
bet on Miss Universe
Pageant. At
press time Miss
Belgium was listed
with +1200 odds at
Bookmaker.com.
The online gambling
website was forced
to add Miss Universe
2008 betting as a
separate text link
under its
Entertainment
Betting category due
to heavy demand
already more than
one week ahead of
airing.
"Traffic and
inquiries suggest
this is going to be
one of the hottest
betting events of
the year," commented
Gambling911.com
Operations Manager,
Payton O'Brien.
And many bets are
sure to come in on
Miss Belgium - a
country that has
hardly registered in
past Miss Universe
competitions.
"She is my personal
value pick provided
she doesn't waffle
through the talent
competition,"
O'Brien added.
Jenny Woo,
Gambling911.com's
enterprising Senior
Correspondent, along
with Cuban
transgender
entertainment
reporter, Sparky
Collins, will be
reporting
extensively on the
pageant just as they
did last year.
"I will keep
everyone guessing as
to whether Miss
Belgium shows up on
my Hot Top 10 Miss
Universe list," says
Woo. That list
is due out by early
next week.
Odds are - she will
be though.
 So you are probably
asking yourselves:
What does Miss
Belgium like to do
in her spare time?
The answer....Pretty
much everything.
"I like to do
sports, such as
horse riding,
running, fitness,
dancing and skiing.
Also I like to read,
travel, to discover
new things, new
people, new
countries and
cultures.
Additionally, I like
music and cinema."
Only six other
contestants have
shorter odds than
Alizee including
fellow European Miss
Czech Republic.
The others are
regular staples
mentioned above:
Venezuela being the
+625 favorite at
Bookmaker.com.
Miss Puerto Rico
comes in with +750
odds.
Miss Panama was
listed with +900
odds.
Miss USA had +900
odds. Miss
Columbia had +1000
odds and Miss Mexico
had the same odds as
Miss Belgium, +1200
for the potential to
pay out $1200 for
every $100 bet.
It should be noted
that Miss India has
gotten enough early
action to push her
to +1100 odds.
This year's Miss
Universe will come
to us from Vietnam
and is going to be
hosted by none other
than Jerry Springer
and Mel B.
