NEW YORK, NY, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The young Paris Bennett belted out Prince's "Kiss" and Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" on Tuesday, but the performances weren't enough to keep her on American Idol. Bettors at Sportsbook.com, the world's largest online sportsbook and casino, weren't behind Paris either and if betting trends are any indication, then Elliot Yamin will be the next to go, with only 4.6 per cent of wagers backing the 27 year old from Richmond, Virginia.

Elliot chose to perform Michael Buble's "Home", which features the refrain: "I want to go home" - not a good choice of lyrics according to sharp tongued judge Simon Cowell. At 10-1, Yamin is a long shot to win the competition but tops the charts on who will get voted off next week at 1-3. The bettors' favorite at Sportsbook.com remains unchanged, Chris Daughtry is a 10-13 bet and 24.9 per cent of bettors are backing him.

"Everybody bets on Reality TV, it's the Super Bowl of television!" said Alex Czajkowski, Marketing Director, Sportsbook.com. "The live show and interactive nature of American Idol make it a bettor's favorite and we'll continue to offer odds on all the latest reality hits."
