It\u2019s time to take a look at some of the latest betting
\nodds on key sports, entertainment and world events. Big Brown, Barack Obama,
\nand now David Cook are all favorites in the diverse world culture betting
\nmarkets. <\/p>\n

BetUs
\nSportsbook<\/a> has made Big Brown the overwhelming favorite to win the Preakness<\/span> Stakes as well as a good shot to capture the
\nTriple Crown. These overwhelming odds are despite his reputation of a Barry
\nSanders like feast or famine performance. <\/p>\n

Brown not only is 1\/3 to win at Pimlico<\/span>,
\nbut is now expected to win the Triple Crown at 1\/2 <\/span>The nation\u2019s top sports
\nbetting<\/a> expert Joe Duffy says history and the unpredictable running of
\nBrown, make \u201cno\u201d at 3\/2 a great betting proposition. <\/p>\n

Once known as the \u201cother David,\u201d David Cook has
\nleapfrogged David Archuleta as the favorite to win American Idol. Cook is now
\n2\/4,<\/span> Archuleta has dropped to the No. 2 spot at 7\/5. Syesha<\/span> Mercado is given little respect by the sportsbooks<\/a> at 20\/1. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile the top sports handicapping<\/a> site has two of
\nthe top three key indicators as to who the next President of the United States will
\nbe on the same
\npage<\/a>. The Vegas odds for President now have Barack Obama as the favorite at
\n4\/5, while John McCain at 7\/5. <\/p>\n

Intrade<\/span><\/a>
\nprojects Obama a 55.8 percent chance to win the White House, compared to just
\n38.2 for McCain. <\/p>\n

The third of the top three indicators is the RealClearPolitics<\/span> consensus poll, which gives Obama an edge
\nover McCain by 2.6 percentage points. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
