Canadian Idol contestant Rex Goudie is a shoo-in for this year's winning record contract as his odds of defeating his three hopeful competitors have been pegged at 10 to 11 by an on-line betting website. When wagering started four weeks ago, PinnacleSports.com had given Goudie 7 to 4 odds, but stated that his consistent performances and glowing reviews have made him a sure winner.

Calgary's Melissa O'Neil has earned the second-best odds at 9 to 4, a long way from her 92 to 1 long shot a month ago. Aaron Walpole is listed third most-likely to win and Suzi Rawn faces being voted off this week, the gambling site predicts.
