Bodog Proposition Bet - America's Got Talent


America's Got Talent 2 is about to start up again. Bodog is offering up proposition bets on its outcome.

I love this show. For instability across the full roster, no show this side of the Surreal Life can touch this America's Got Talent.

YOU ASK HOW UNSTABLE?

Listen to the celebrity judges on America's Got Talent: David Hasselhoff, Sharon Osbourne and journalist Piers Morgan.

The show's host is Jerry Springer, replacing Regis Philbin from year one. That's quite a lineup, folks.

You might not know Mr. Morgan, but he plays the heavy on the show. He's Simon Cowell, the critic with little patience for the acts. To continue the American Idol analogy, Hasselhoff falls into the role of the good cop so "admirably" played by Paula Abdul all these years on Idol.

In the show, the judges can end a performance by hitting an "X" button. The only catch is that all three must hit their button. Many times last year saw the other two judges urging Hasselhoff to hit his button, which he was loathe to do.

Of course, with Hasselhoff's recent drunken scene on Youtube, he passed Paula Abdul in the drunk category. Click here for the Hasselhoff Youtube video.

THE PREMISE

America's Got Talent is an American Idol style talent contest, except with more liberal criteria. The contestants might be musical acts, but they might be stage magicians or comedians or even animal acts. The judges select the finalists, while the

The show is the brainchild of Simon Cowell, one of the geniuses behind American Idol. It is based on a UK version of the show, Opportunity Knocks.

THE ANALYSIS

It's hard to give analysis right now, since the odds haven't been posted quite yet. They will appear in a day or two, so check back at Bodog to see the odds.

The sure bet of this bunch is the Leonid the Magnificent bet. I'm sure the producers will roll out everything they have to draw in viewers, so I'm sure David Hasselhoff's favorite drag queen will make a reappearance.
