 Online gambling over which American Idol finalist will be the next to leave the competition is fierce - and, if the odds at Sportsbook.com are anything to go by, Bucky Covington should be packing his bags round about now! But the game ain't over 'til the sweet guy from Rockingham, North Carolina sings. And it'll all come down to who gets the most votes by the time the American Idol results show broadcasts this Wednesday. With Mandisa Hundley exiting stage right last week, the odds are truly stacked against Bucky - who might have to go back to playing guitar, bass and drums for hometown performances only. Bets for last Wednesday's results show came in with a meager 3.4% of all Sportsbook.com bets in support of Mandisa. But she was only second last - at the bottom of the betting barrel was, you guessed it, Bucky Covington.This week, Bucky Covington is facing an embarrassing 0.9% of all American Idol online wagers at staggeringly high odds of surviving the cut at 70 to 1! If this country-style crooner has real stars in his eyes, he better buck up and pull one out the hat, if he hopes to wake up in the Top 7 on Thursday morning. The Top 8 contestants will give it all they've got in a pre-results performance tomorrow night on Fox at 8/7 Central.  On the other side of the American Idol coin, Simon Cowell's favorite contestant Chris Daughtry is currently tipped to take home the title, at odds of 7 to 5. Hot on his heels though is Katharine McPhee at 13 to 5. Sportsbook.com bettors are betting like crazy on the outcome of the competition, with 21.6% of the wagers going in Daughtry's direction, 17% going to McPhee and 12.4% at the lucky feet of velvet-voiced Taylor Hicks.Sportsbook.com has been swamped by fans, determined to show even more support for their favorite singers. A Sportsbook.com spokesperson said, "American Idol fans are in control of this competition, not the judges. That was made clear last Wednesday with Mandisa leaving the show. Sportsbook.com bettors are enthusiastic fans, whether for basketball, baseball or reality television. The difference with American Idol is that fans have a direct impact on who will win."
