The latest American Idol series is down to just 6 remaining performers. Jena Irene Asciutto has emerged as the clear favorite to win the show, but if I’ve learned anything from past American Idol seasons, it’s not over until the finale is complete. Each of the remaining singers is very talented and could surprise if American votes in that direction.
Here are the odds for the remaining six hopefuls as of the writing of this post:
- Jena Irene Asciutto 1/1
- Alex Preston 8/5
- Caleb Johnson 7/2
- Jess Meuse 20/1
- Sam Woolf 25/1
- CJ Harris 40/1

Jena Irene Asciutto
Jena Irene has emerged as the front runner in the competition. The teenager has evolved a lot during the competition and could very easily win it. Here was her performance from last week:
Alex Preston
Alex is the other big favorite here. He is the oddsmakers closest competition to Jena. Alex played an original for his audition and really impressed.
Caleb Johnson
The only other performer really being given a shot at winning is Caleb Johnson. At 7/2 he’s the only other contestant with better odds than 20/1. I personally think he has a very good shot because he has a completely different style to the other 2 performers. They are apples and oranges so it’s really up to the judges. Here is Caleb’s last performance:
Where To Bet
State-licensed sportsbooks in the US generally do not take bets on elections, TV shows or most awards shows, although a few states allow betting on select awards like the Oscars. Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket, which are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), offer contracts on many of these events.
Offshore sportsbooks also post odds on entertainment and political events, but they are not licensed or regulated by any US state. Our guide to sports betting in the USA explains each option in more detail.
