American Idol ... Lee Dewyze the dark horse

Now that American Idol is down to the final 9 and it's reasonably easy to see who the last 6 will be, it's time to start looking for a dark horse.

I'm not a fan of futures betting, but Lee Dewyze at $4.50 is a good bet. He's done nothing until last week, which was a wake up call for viewers looking for an alternative vote.

Crystal Bowersox is clearly the best singer there, but personality plays a huge part and Americans, like Australians, don't mind supporting an underdog - if they think he/she has a chance to win.

Siobhan peaked early and seems to be a one-trick pony. Casey is a safe bet to run through to the final 4, but it's unlikely he can pull out the "moment" judges and voters are looking for.

Lee for mine is an even money chance and sits at overs right now. He's not my favourite, but it harps back to the old saying: "Bet with your head, not with your heart."
