Odds on: Who will
be named TIME's Person Of The Year for 2007
The odds makers waste no time
and the betting props for the 2007 TIME magazine Person of the
Year award are now available.
We
all got a little disappointed last year with TIME magazine and
their choice of Person of the Year. But in 2007, we are actually
looking forward to choosing a real person to take the
prestigious award. And as usual, the bookmakers waste no time
and the betting odds on who will be the 2007 TIME's Person of
the Year are now published at the online sportsbook
Bodog Sports. We have eight
choices this year and right of the start, the favorite to win
the TIME Magazine award is none other than Nobel Prize winner Al
Gore. He is listed with odds on winning the award at 10/11,
making the rest of the candidates long shots for becoming the
2007 Person of the Year. Al Gore's cons according to TIME - He
may have won his Nobel and Oscar in 2007, but the bulk of his
Green works were in 2006.
But if you are a risk-taker, the odds on
the rest of the nominees are looking good. Second comes "Harry
Potter" franchise author J.K. Rowling, listed at 3/1 on being
chosen by the mag, and she actually leads the poll 12,000+ votes
ahead of Al Gore at this time. J.K. Rowings cons - Seventh book
wasn't her best, and hard to argue she was the most important
person of 2007. Third by odds comes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the
Iranian president listed with odds on becoming the 2007 TIME's
Person of the Year sitting at 11/2 and offering a great value
for the bettor. He is currently No.3 in the poll, trailing
behind Al Gore about 8,000 votes. Ahmadinejad's cons as posted
on TIME - May not even be the most powerful or important leader
in his own country.
Here is the full list of betting odds on
the 2007 TIME Magazine Person of the Year, as published by
Bodog Sports:
J.K. Rowling - 3/1
Al Gore - 10/11
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - 11/2
Condoleeza Rice - 6/1
General David Petraeus - 15/2
Steve Jobs - 8/1
Vladimir Putin - 11/1
Hu Jintao - 11/1
