Betting On Dancing With The Stars: Odds Favor Joey Graziadei

The final of Dancing With The Stars Season 33 will air on ABC next Tuesday at 8 PM, and the contenders for this year’s Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy are now narrowed down to five.

A few 18-friendly sports betting sites have posted DWTS props with odds on all five finalists. These lines have the potential to remain active up until the DWTS finale on the 26th, but that doesn’t mean they will.

Dancing With The Stars – Season 33 Winner

  • Joey Graziadei -200 (max bet of $200 for a $100 win)
  • Chandler Kinney EVEN (max bet of $100 for a $100 win)
  • Danny Amendola +300 (max bet of $100 for a $300 win)
  • Stephen Nedoroscik +1200 (max bet of $100 for a $1200 win)
  • Ilona Maher +1600 (max bet of $100 for a $1600 win)

Entertainment odds at online gambling sites typically feature low minimum bets because of the unpredictable nature of the outcomes. Still, as you can see above, there is plenty of money at stake, especially if an underdog wins.

These DWTS odds are posted at BetUS and BetOnline. Yesterday, we couldn’t find odds at any of the online gambling sites we frequent. We say this as a warning to those who want to place a bet to get your wagers in as soon as possible.

Joey Graziadei is the current odds leader at -200, and with five dancers remaining, that would normally imply a certain win.

In this case, Chandler Kinney only trails Graziadei by 100 points and is drawing even money at entertainment sportsbook sites.

Graziadei finished second on The Bachelorette Season 20, and was chosen as the star for The Bachelor Season 38. Chandler Kinney is an up-and-coming actress who has starred in programming featured on the Disney Channel.

Converting The DWTS Odds To Their Chances Of Winning

  • Joey Graziadei 67%
  • Chandler Kinney 50%
  • Danny Amendola 25%
  • Stephen Nedoroscik 8%
  • Ilona Maher 6%

Anyone doubting the accuracy of the oddsmakers should look at the preseason futures offered in September. The order has shifted a bit, but the final five dancers were correctly projected.

Preseason Dancing With The Stars Odds

  • Ilona Maher +350
  • Joey Graziadei +450
  • Stephen Nedoroscik +500
  • Danny Amendola +800
  • Chandler Kinney +800
  • Jenn Tran +800
  • Phaedra Parks +1000
  • Dwight Howard +1000
  • Eric Roberts +1200
  • Tori Spelling +1200
  • Brooks Nader +1200
  • Anna Delvey +2000
  • Reginald VelJohnson +2500

These preseason futures also illustrate the importance of timing when betting on entertainment outcomes. Even though Graziadei entered the season in second place in the odds, a $1 bet on him to win in September would earn $4.50 in profit.

Because Graziadei is now rated with a -200 moneyline, wagers of $9 are required to win $4.50.
