Odds to Win X-Factor

Just like American Idol, the X-Factor has become a very popular reality TV show, with 12 competitors competing to win $5 million.

The show originated in the United Kingdom, where it was devised as a replacement for Pop Idol.

The program is produced by executive producer Simon Cowell, who also serves one of the four judges.

The prize is usually a recording contract, in addition to the publicity that appearance in the later stages of the show itself generates, not only for the winner but also for other highly ranked contestants.

Here are the latest odds from Bodog Sportsbook, with 5 competitors now left.

Melanie Amaro   1/1
Josh Krajcik       9/4
Rachel Crow      3/1
Chris Rene         10/1
Marcus Canty     18/1
